    Leaf blowers to the right of us, wood chippers to the left, we charged straight outta there! Lovely park, our second visit in a month (one nighters on our way to and from VT). We had to bail the second time tho bc it was "park clean up day" and the noise of leaf blowers and wood chippers was too much. After a long day on the interstate, we just wanted to enjoy a beautiful Fall day, but it was deafening, couldn't relax or even have a conversation, and forget the guitar... Horrible really. The picture is actually not the KOA park but the nearby Hueston SP campground where we went after leaving the KOA: lovely, quiet, and half the cost.

    I wasn't happy with this campground. It is pretty and the grounds are well maintained. I twisted my ankle in a hole near my cabin which put a damper on the trip near the end. Our reservation was mixed up with my brothers reservation. My sister's camping spot was not marked and she wasn't able to park at her site. She had to search and pay for another site. The place is cared for and monitored by teenagers at all times. They ride golf carts everywhere, some much faster than others. Children play in the street while traffic constantly drives through. We couldn't have two cars at our site. I have camped in a bunch of other campgrounds. This place had more rules than any I've ever been to. No food in the pool, even though it's dirty. Pool closes at 8:45. No extra tents in one site. Even though you pay for the site with the communal sleeping arrangement, the kids like to put up their own little tents for fun. No clothes lines to dry clothing or hang food or trash like other places. Quiet time at 10 p.m. No cooking our smoking(which I like) in the cabin. We did have a cooling unit, a television and a small refrigerator. No outside firewood. It's$8 for like six pieces. (Ridiculous) At one point the refrigerator quit during the night. The next night our things were frozen. The showers were like frozen ice water two of the four times I showered. Two tiny children were screaming their heads off because the pool just shut down and they had to have a shower before bed, otherwise the mosquitos would have eaten them alive. The pool was extremely cloudy and filled with dirt spiders and mosquitos. You'd think with all the rules the pool would have been sparkly clean. You aren't allowed to have any food inside of the enclosure. There's a couple of tables and a bunch of lay out beach chairs. Many people had alcohol inside and there weren't any consequences. The pool shuts down at 8:45p.m. Even though is still light outside. Even though there are lights in the pool. Even though it's to hot to do anything else. I would've liked to have a small cooler inside. That was disappointing. Why not have a rule to take your things with you and clean up. One selling point for me to spend$100 a night in a tiny box with two beds was there was going to be a carnival for the children with lots of activities that Saturday. Not knowing that all of those activities costs extra. They even charged us a higher rate because our children were there during this weekend, whether they planned to participate or not. NOTHING IS INCLUDED IN THIS PRICE. The carnival consisted of a "hayride", a tractor with a wagon that was free for about 30min. Twice around the campground. They had a table set up with obout six games for the children to play. The kids didn't even get excited about them. Not many participated. The doughnuts offered at 9:30 on Saturday were there, old, and not complementary. Not my idea of a carnival weekened.

    Wow! This is what a campground should look like. Very friendly staff. Lots of amenities for the kids and family. I wish we had more time to spend here. It looks like a great place to stay for a long weekend or more. I'm definitely going to plan a way to stay here for a longer period then just passing through overnight. I'll note if you are passing through, this probably isn't the best choice. I have a full sized Ram 2500 with long bed and a 29' trailer. The short pull through campsites required I unhook my tow vehicle. This was the first campground I went to between Colorado and Delaware (this trip) which I had to do this.

    We came here on Memorial Day long weekend and totally enjoyed our stay. We stayed for three days…read more We were a group of 12 adults and six children. It was a very family driven place and there was a lot for everyone. The water area is so good when it's sunny and there's the play area for the kids the shelters for barbecue and picnics and a lot of trails which are pet friendly. The rain dampened our visit but the park in itself was extremely good. DNR facilities were 24/7 they kept a strong vigilance in the camp, which was very comforting. Other than that all service is like fire wood ice was available at short notice.

    I've mostly been stuck at home the past few weeks as I've been recovering from major surgery. On…read moreoccasion, I've been able to get friends to take me places or at least go for a drive to get me out. One such drive was to Whitewater State Park. Whitewater State Park was the 16th state park in Indiana and was founded in 1949. It's actually the third largest. It has 200 acre Whitewater Lake along with shoreline hiking, flat-water boating, swimming, fishing, and camping opportunities. It has 9 miles of horseback riding trails. The park area was originally purchased by Union, Fayette, Franklin, and Wayne counties to serve as a memorial for those lost during World War II. Additional activities include picnic areas with shelters (reservations required), interpretive naturalist services, 1 boat launch ramp at Whitewater Lake, bridle trails, cabins, fishing/ice fishing, hiking trails, canoe/paddleboat/rowboat rentals, swimming, and two marinas. Camping includes 236 electric sites, 45 non-electric, and 37 horsemen's primitive sites. There's a camp store, dumping station, and youth tent area. There are five hiking trails - all are considered moderate in difficulty. They range from 1-2.7 miles in length, though at least one also has a short loop. There really isn't a single trail that I'd say is accessible, though there are parts of trails I was able to access. That said, Whitewater in general isn't particularly wheelchair friendly other than in the more truly "public" areas. As an experienced wheelchair user, I doubt I'd head out on these trails alone. Whitewater hosts a variety of events throughout the year. While I wish it was more accessible here, I still consider this one of Indiana's more underappreciated natural gems.

    hmmmmm, wasn't sure where to go with my review. This is an odd little park. Or maybe it isn't. We…read moredon't have much experience with private campgrounds so keep that in mind when reading this review. So as we were setting up the camper a staff member came over and gave us bracelets to wear for the weekend. No problem. But we were the only people we saw all weekend with the blue bands on, lol. If you enjoy loud parades of country music blaring golf carts, this is the park for you. ALL weekend long. Now with that being said, once quiet time hit, it was in fact, quiet. I get the feeling this park is mostly seasonal campers and those that are not seasonal are probably frequent campers. There didn't seem to be much communication as far as those of us that are new to this campground. For instance, activities. We happened to spot a small note on a cork board in the office about Bingo. Had we not stopped in for another reason, we would never have seen this. Maybe add an activity board around the restrooms? That way others can learn about the activities if they have no reason to go to the camp store. Another example, there was a town parade for Memorial day. Maybe again, put something on the activities board about that? Not only to let families know there is a parade going by the campground but also to warn campers that if you need to get out, you will not be able to during certain times. I like that they are adding fun things to the park and oh, the water. Beautiful!! Believe it or not, it was unseasonably cold for the end of May. Too cold to get in the water, lol. We hauled our kayaks up here only to not be able to get in the water but that natural spring is what is going to bring us back. I gotta get in that water! Make sure to stop in the camp store about ask about the "treasures" buried underwater. Fascinating. The park was clean; the staff seamed nice. I started out this review with a 3 star but as I got to this point in my writing, I talked myself in to another star. But really, communication for activities is a big deal when camping- consider fixing that. We will 100% be back- just to kayak in the water is reason enough.

    Natural Springs Resort was a little slice of heaven for us. Our two bedroom cabin with a full bath…read moreand kitchen was perfect for our family. The private patio with a grill and fire pit had a view of the water. It was also impeccably clean. Being able to rent a golf cart made traveling around the resort with two kids a breeze. From the beach to the multiple playgrounds, we were able to get anywhere we needed. There are so many amenities as well. The spring fed lake is gorgeous. There is a kids swimming area and a deeper adult swimming area with a swimming mat and a floating dock. If lake swimming isn't for you, there is also a heated pool. We also used the Wibit (floating obstacle course), kayaks, and paddle boats. All the rentals were reasonably priced and were great additions to our stay. The camp store and cafe are great as well. We were able to grab pizza and ice cream during our stay. We will definitely be back.

The staff is wonderful, very helpful and friendly and will go out of their way to help you. They ARE very pet friendly, (we have two cats and a dog) you just have to clean up after your pets and keep them on a leash. The bathrooms are clean and air-conditioned. The grounds are very well maintained and they have pump out service for a small fee (if you get a site that doesn't have septic) and RV service and repair. They installed our new air conditioner and did a fantastic job. They also have fun events here. We will be staying here every time we come to Ohio. Don't be fooled by a poor review. This park is awesome. You should definitely check it out.

Starting from an access trail next to the dam, we went counter clockwise , linking the yellow and orange trails. We probably did not get the full "experience" since we were there in the winter when the leaves were off the trees and the river level was low-ish. I am looking forward to coming back in other seasons. Two words of warning: Remember that the trails can be muddy due snowmelt, even if the snow has been gone for a few days. Saw several people out there today whose originally white sneakers are probably a few shades of darker brown now. Also, mud will be thicker and deeper down near the river where soil will have been pushed down the river during previous floods.
