We rented the Rogers Pavilion at Highland Park for our family reunion in August. We booked it about…read morea year in advance since we have our family reunion every August, and we wanted to make sure we could get the date we needed. The pavilion was around $250 for pretty much the entire day, which I thought was a great price for the amount of time and space you get. We really like this park because there's plenty of space and lots of parking. There's also a playground directly across the street that's suitable for kids of different ages, along with a basketball court. The pavilion itself has plenty of tables and chairs, you just have to set them up yourself. There's also a small kitchen, which is very convenient, along with two gender neutral restrooms on each side of the kitchen. The only downside is that the grill provided with the pavilion is a little bit of a walk from the indoor area. There's also another covered pavilion with seating between the grill and the Rogers Pavilion. There happened to be another event going on there during our reunion. It didn't interfere with our event, but of course, having the entire area private would have been even better. I really like this pavilion and think it's a great place to host an event. There's plenty of space, lots of parking, and activities for all ages. I'd definitely consider renting it again for future family events!

What I like best about the park are the mature trees that provide lots of shade. Some of the trees are over 400 years old. There is a huge colorful playground with climbing structures, swings and slides. The base is a mix of mulch and soft matting. Benches line the area for parents to sit and watch kids . (The equipment could use a good cleaning from the trees.) There are two ball diamonds with bleachers within the park. A beautiful stream that meanders through the park attracts fisherman. Tree-covered picnic areas are scattered along the creek. The Vermont Covered Bridge spans the creek and is open to pedestrian traffic. There are restroom facilities near the playground. There are several parking areas throughout the park and you can drive along the creek. Highland Park is a great place to bring the family.

Showers are clean, just a bit unfortunate that there are only port-a-potties in the back of the campground. Decent playgrounds, pool, arcade.

The owners are a tad unfriendly and crabby, so steer clear of them at all costs because they made many comments about "evicting" people.... odd.. We were very minimally at the campground.

This one has a pioneer village with log cabins, a museum (which was closed for a private event during my visit), and canal boat rides. The village is open to walk through and includes the Case Reed House which was moved from downtown to this site around 1986. The house was converted to a hotel for travelers after being a private residence. The canal boats are colorful and provide guided tours for those who wish to take the trip. I didn't have time to go on the ride, so I can't say how much it costs or how often the rides leave the dock. There is also a trail that runs through the park along the canal. This is a nice piece of local history from an era when Indiana thought it could be a navigable transportation area with the help of canals. Review #2792

I booked the spot because I needed a place to stay for the night and I stressed that a shower and toilet were essential. I was assured the bath house was nice and clean. The lady I initially spoke to was very nice. She said the rate was $35/night for primitive camping. She said they'd even throw a bundle of wood in for me. I was told I would just pay upon arrival. The day prior to leaving for my trip, I called to confirm the spot was still saved for me. I was told it was. The lady then asked if I got her text. I did not. She said she text me to let me know she was wrong on the rates and it was actually $60/night and the wood would be $20. I was upset. She called one of the owners and got approval to honor the $35 rate quoted but the wood was extra. I said ok. I clarified that I was traveling alone and would just have my dog with me. I said that I didnt want to break rules or upset anyone but would not leave my dog tied up or in car when I shower. They said it was fine and my dog could tag along as long as she stayed on a leash. All dogs on leashes. Again, I said ok. I never pet my dog off leash in unfamiliar areas. Upon arrival, I checked in. As I was standing with my dog waiting, a large black German Shepherd type approached us off leash. It came over to my 20 pound dog to say hi but my dog was frightened and trying to hide behind me. I then saw all of the hair on the big dog's neck standing straight up. I said I dont like this -- someone please get this dog NOW! So a guy did. Thankfully nothing happened but I saw the dog roaming freely again the next morning. It was obviously a dog belonging to the owners or someone working there. If it always stays up near the barn, I feel like the rule should be no unapproved dogs in the main stables/office area. Post a sign or tell people that say they are bringing dogs. That dog was obviously territorial and the situation could have turned very ugly very quickly. On to the rest of the review...... The receptionist explained how to get back to my campsite but I was confused. When asking for clarity, the man that grabbed the dog asked her if he could lead me back to my spot and she was like, "I guess." The first sites near the pond had some garbage and broken chairs nearby and I wasnt at all impressed. The guy said that the other option was by the creek. The creek was beautiful and relaxing. The grass was about a foot tall and it could have been a lot nicer if better maintained. There were some docks built around the pond and one near the creek. All of them were quite dilapidated and didnt seem safe to get on. Once it started cooling down for the eve, I went to get a shower. I opened the door to the single bathroom/shower house and it wreaked of mold. The shower was really dirty. The vanity was busted up, the toilet was beyond filthy, and there was a big piece of plywood over a giant hole in the floor. That plywood felt really soggy and was bowing under me as I stood there. I have never seen shower house conditions this bad at a campground. I pretty sure I was the only one there to camp that weekend. At first, that felt lucky for me but then I realized why nobody else was there. I didnt use the nasty bathroom at all while I was there. I opted to bathe in the creek, something I have never actually done before. That being said, this place should NOT be advertised as a suitable camping option! Further, if you're going to raise your rates to nearly double what they have been recently ($35 to $60/night), then you should absolutely make some of the necessary upgrades and maintain the campsites better. I dont write reviews often but since I relied on them to book the place and felt seriously misled by the good reviews, I decided an honest review of my experience was justified. Also, if you're going to turn horses out to pasture with their halters on, you should absolutely make sure the fencing is safe and there is nowhere they can get their halters snagged. I saw the big black mare (seal brown) with the blue halter get snagged on a very broken top rung. She started to panic when it was caught and luckily broke free from the snag after a few seconds of struggling. Basic maintenance could fix so much with this place.

She had never been on a go cart and it had been years, probably decades, for me. It's a little place, but luckily it wasn't busy when we got there on a Saturday afternoon. We drove by Friday and Saturday evening and it was packed. The staff were friendly, and gave us a little spiel before we drove. Prices are reasonable, $8 for about 10 minutes, which is enough to wear some folks out. Most of us went back for another run since no one was waiting to try next. The cars vary in age but are all about the same speed. It'd be nice to go faster on the straights, but floor it through the corners and you'll have a good ride. I would go back if we are in the area again, but I may have to search out bigger, faster tracks closer to home.
