Clean, spacious, pet-friendly park. Great option if you live in the local area but it’s not worth a long road trip. If you live 1hr+ away, there are most likely better alternatives closer to you (if you are South - Fort Harrison, Brown County). There are various trails that are partly open field, partly wooded (all very easy) and a single, long, paved trail. Great for running or to get your dog some exercise. There is camping as well but I can’t speak to the quality of the campgrounds.
Stay for the day or stay for a little while. Hidden in the north end of Tippecanoe County this park provides miles of trails and family fun. Get fresh meat and eggs at the farm to cook at your camp site or take home. Bike trails, fishing and parks make for a great afternoon out with kids! The farm houses are frozen in time with things from past like ice boxes and victrolas, have no idea what these are well the knowledgeable staff will tell you the history of the items in the houses. The restrooms were clean and there was no site of litter anywhere on the park grounds. This is a must visit park if you are looking for a very inexpensive outing!
Really enjoyed camping here. Very clean bathrooms, and a lot of family friendly stuff around the campgrounds to do. They were always very well stocked on fire wood as well. The only unfortunate thing was that my wife and I were instructed by the security/park ranger that we had to setup our tent on gravel, rather than in the grass. It was a bit of a weird request, but we complied. It was also a bit hard on the knees and bare/sock feet when inside the tent. Otherwise, an overall great experience.
This is one of the newest state parks in Indiana. They have a working farm, that you can tour. There is a great looking pool with a water slide. Paved trails are great for biking, and the campground is great. Campsites are generously sized, with gravel pads, and a fire ring. The bath size is very clean, and good sized. This is a convenient campground if want to be close to Purdue University.
This is a pretty new state park so some of the natural areas are still growing in but this is a very well designed park (as it should be since they got to start from scratch). I really like this park and the way they have utilized the space. I hope they continue to add acreage. The playgrounds and paved trails here are great for kids.
