Looking for a good family camp? DO NOT, REPEAT DO NOT go here. (before reading on, check my other reviews and you will see I am not a chronic complainer) We are avid campers and like to tent camp numerous times a year at many locations, this has to be the worst camping experience ever. We had to leave 2 days early because of the extreme noise. Of course no refund for the nights were given. Two other camp sites, for both nights we were there, played their music at high volume (and they had top notch speakers). Our tent VIBRATED until 3am. Security would do nothing. When you check in, they give a list of rules, not a single one was followed by 99% of the campers, and management and security did NOTHING to enforce them. You had children as young as 8 or 9 driving golf carts around the whole camp with no adult supervision. We witnessed two accidents where they hit other carts and a tree. Children dodging out into the road from behind RVs with no parents stopping them. Dogs running everywhere unleashed. But the worst part was the music. I have been to quieter rock concerts. If it had just been one site it would have been bad, but we had numerous types of music competing to see who could be the loudest. We had to shout to each other in our tent just to hear what the other was saying. Oh and the music sites were NOT our neighbors, they were across the loop (at least one city block away). We filed a complaint with management it had gotten so bad. Another gentleman in there even told them he too could hear the music and we were on separate sides of the camp. Management told us security would be in to talk to us shortly and asked us to put it in writing. Security never showed up at the office. After about a half hour, she asked for my complaint and warned us she had our personal information given at check-in and instructed us to go back to our site as she had customers to check in. The tone of her voice felt threatening. Nobody from security ever showed and the music just kept getting louder and louder. We finally just packed up and left because there was no enjoyment for us. The ONLY reason it has one star is negative stars were not an option.

Last I read they are still planning on opening BUT the news was broken to them at the same time as you. Please connect with the park.
Will Indiana Beach campgrounds be open for 2020 and on seasons. I am a season renter of D6 and also a boat slip renter and am wondering what the plans are for us since the amusement park closed???
The campground is located across the street from Indiana Beach Amusement Park. The campground itself is large with over 1000 spots. It has a putt-putt course, water park, arcade, and even a small restaurant. The campground also has trolleys that run throughout the day to take you back and fourth to Indiana Beach.
