    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.

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.

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.

Depending on how people park the sites can be a little tough to pack into.. 3. There are sooooooo many golf carts! And the golf cart parade at sun down, it was over the top. The parade seemed to be made out of season campers that all know one another. 4. The older teenage element, that seemed to be seasonal campers, whoa! The mouthes one them. We fished with our kids as they dropped bunches of foul language & then proceeded to talk about fighting people, slamming people on the ground, and then ultimately sexual intercourse. These kids were not role models for our young ones. Oh and they were watching a kid that is about 6 years old. 5. The bathrooms, while they were. It the worst we've ever seen, they need a make over. 6. The lake is awesome. Bring a kayak or canoe if you have it. 7. Our fire pit had not been cleaned out in a very very long time.

We are adults here and know that a new camper does not get damaged all by itself! We trusted you to do a job professionally and you failed miserably. Yes we are the Bauser's that had the new warranty fridge work done at your so called place of business. Did I say NEW WARRANTY WORK??? Meaning new camper!!! Us as adults are telling you that your service people messes up our camper inside wall from the fridge installation and must I remind you we are the customer! And you call us and tell us your people done nothing and there is nothing you can do about it??? Us being the customer and knowing we have a new product with no problems with our camper when we let you have it to work on it an now we have damaged walls done by your people. Do you understand this now or do I need to say it again? Now I do know personally some others that have had their campers also messed up by your place of business. Does this sound like a rerun to you also hearing if from others who trusted you??? That means that your track record is not real good on messing up campers at your business. I can also send a copy of email to corp Coachman and let them know what kind of business you are running here along with one to the BBB plus plaster a copy on facebook and Yelp. If you don't see us as honest customers of yours I promise you the next person you will hear from will be from the BBB and Coachman. This is a real shame to have to go this way to try and get through to you. I'm also sending a copy of this to some emails of mine so to make forwarding easy to all concerned party's in this. I really don't know why I'm even trying to give you a chance to make this right except this is part of the process. May I also remind you the we have your last phone message to us telling us you are not going to do anything about it. The rest is up to you how this gets handled. And you sir have a great day today.

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.
