This was a pleasant and easy full service rv park to enjoy a day of peace off the road + great overnighter. People were very nice and attentive with lots of RV manipulation help. No Bluegrass when we were there in the spring. Still this is a nice park to stay in on the way north.
Watch the approach since you could head into the truck stop - stay to the right and you will be ok. I used the truck stop to fill up on the way out and it was OK. Dad's was a good stop for the night but our expectations were more than delivered since no bluegrass - even music would have been ok - so disappointed.
It is really easy in-out if you pay attention. Enjoy.
We will return! I think this will be our go-to for the northern springtime journey. Covid was hurting them this year - park was less than a 1/3 full. The intersection is quite confusing so call them and they will tell exactly what to do - in and out. Prices were more than fair, power was good and stabilized, water & sewer good. Considering everything we did not even ask for any type of discount and we had a bargain.
We immediately loved this place! The Roosters were crowing on their adjacent farmstead and we were at peace in the countryside. Road noise was minimal, surprisingly, and no jake brakes were heard. We had a restful night after 450+ hard miles.
The campground is not paved but is a solid limestone type base. The ground was very wet due to much rain and we did not sink in at all. Truthfully, I have nothing bad to say about this place for an overnighter or even a week or more if you are venturing out into Athens greater area and find your own entertainment.
Review 2019: We are here for an overnight stay and are happy we chose this place. Sites are level, water is good, power is stable at 118 VAC. The sewer entry on our site is plain PVC so we had to use a foam doughnut to secure the elbow with 20' of hose. We found it easy to maneuver our 36' Class A towing a dolly and Honda Civic. If you rig is more than 60' including Toad ask owner about available spaces. Owner is friendly, open and park has trimmed trees and about 90 sites of which 60% are for transients and the remainder are seasonal.
The WiFi is good with adequate bandwidth. My Verizon hotspot works fine and the cell site is not too far away. The park is about 4 miles from I-65 with good roads to/from on SR 56. They accept Passport America and Good SAM. I think all sites have a fire ring and there are areas for children to play down by the pond. We will return as it is quiet and you can see the stars.
Review 2020: We tried to stay here in April 2020 but owner said it was closed due to Covid-19. We proceeded North to Columbus Woods-N-Waters: Jellystone is a much nicer place to stay. If you are pushing the season call to confirm they are open. https://jellystoneraintreelake.com/ 4577 IN-56, Scottsburg, IN 47170 +18127524062
We were returning from South Alabama this spring and wanted to travel a bit longer. Columbus Woods-N-Waters showed up on our apps so we gave them a call - yes, they had room for a 55' rig. We turned off CR 58 on S 300 W with our Class A and found a narrow road that was wide enough for our Class A and another small car. The berm is non-existant to the west. We drove slow and met one vehicle and we squeezed by.
Once in the park, we stopped at the camp store and registered. People seem friendly enough and said Hi. I walked back to the site Just to make sure we would not be boxed in and the site was approachable with our rig - it was and it was just long enough for us - yea. We had plenty of tankage for our overnight, so, we did not hook up the water and the electric was 50A. Our site had no sewer hook up but on the way out there is a good dump station. Limited transient sites have sewer.
It appears as if most of the sites were filled with seasonal and permanent residents. I did not ask but I think they keep some sites just for transients. We would stay again, Spring or Fall, as it was quiet and ask for site 13 since it had easy turns and was just long enough. In the summer I would give it a pass since my rig only goes forward - no backing up. It is a year around facility so winter would be ok too. The address is 8855 South 300 West Columbus, Indiana. Good Sam discount is 10%
I keep my RV just across the street and have been through this park for a long time, before & after KOA. All the services you would want are here and they have a workable mesh wifi system. Another plus is that a Verizon and ATT cell tower is <2 miles away. The staff are pleasant and approachable. KOA has recently modernized this park and added a lot of new sites to the south and east of the old facility. IMHO the whole place is a class act and I think you will like it
There are sufficient transient sites to accommodate I-80/90 /I-69 /US-20 traffic. However, there are a lot of seasonal RV's that are congregated towards the lake to the south: There is a beach on this property. The transient sites are, near the US-20 road, to the north are and easily accessible. I do not consider this to be a extremely loud road but there is large truck traffic day/night; however, I have not noticed "jake brake" use and the road is straight and flat in front of the park.
FYI - disclosure: I am in no way associated, employed or incented to make this review. I am considered to be a local guide by Google but not incented by them either. If Dyrt allows, I will later add pictures I have taken over the years from land and air. Also, as a parting bit of info, I have kayaked extensively in this long chain of lakes that this RV park is located on and you can go on for days.
