We loved our stay at Peaceful Waters Campground! the staff were wonderfully accommodating, the campground was not overpacked, and the amenities met our needs. We enjoyed late night conversation around a campfire, and a beautiful slow morning. Additionally, it is very close to Turkey Run State Park, where we hiked during the day. read more

Great family camping spot! Not as crammed in there like other campgrounds. Nice pond with plenty of fish for the young ones. Our family rented a cute little cabin. Owner was all over the place making sure everyone was enjoying it. Very close to Turkey Run State park and several major lakes. Bathhouse was always clean. When you order fire wood, they deliver it right to your camp site!! They are very strict about quiet hours so it's very peaceful at night unlike the state campground where people come and go all hours of the night and get loud. Our family will go back again no doubt!! Thanks for the memorable Father's Day weekend. read more

This is a great campground close to Turkey Run. We rented a cabin & stayed for the weekend. The staff is super friendly and helpful with check in. They provide great recommendations if you're unfamiliar with the area & have a nice little camp store. They will deliver firewood to you & allow you to borrow basketballs, volleyballs, & corn hole for no charge! Also, they aren't very strict on the parking, as we had 4 cars and it was no problem at all to park the extra in their overflow parking lot. The cabin was super clean, the AC worked great, and the beds were way more comfy than we expected for a campsite. There's a nice picnic table & a fire pit and areas that are shaded. The bathhouse is a bathhouse, so you can't expect much -- but it was one of the cleanest I've been in. It has a heavy door to the front so there aren't many bugs that can get in! read more

Came here around the solar eclipse. Such a little peaceful area. Super cute cabins. Friendly and helpful staff. Stars at night were beautiful and for like 50$ a night it's hard to beat. I'm positive I'll be back read more

Stayed in Cabin 1 10/24/24-10/27/24 with 2 grandchildren. Cabin was immaculate. Microwave and small frig. Weather perfect but I did use supplied small heater one morning to take away early morning chill. Shower house was immaculate and way beyond expectations. Shower water was hot and plentiful. Office staff helpful and pleasant, even when I locked in my key. Site has lovely pond and we enjoyed walking around several times. Very close to Turkey Run. Halloween activities included decorating your cabin contest, hay rack ride with stops at each campsite/cabin for trick or treating, followed by Halloween party at a shelter where food and drinks provided, along with karaoke. We loved the entire experience and highly recommend the campground, especially if you have children. Experience there was safe and pleasant with not one negative that I can think of. See you next year! read more

OMG. Don't bring your big Rv here counting on 50 amps and full hook up. They took prepaid reservations for just that and NOT AVAILABLE. Told for $38 a guy will drive by and drain your tanks. Ha. That should be deducted from my prepaid "full service 50 amp promise". No credit offered. Stay clear !! Don't go. Barely a campground anyway. We read more

We stayed August 24-27 I strongly believe where your site is located is going to hugely impact your experience here. For RVs/Trailers, The front is limestone/gravel, not shaded and not private at all, good if you are just planning on parking and going to one of the festivals or site seeing. The side sites 22-27 are more private, spaced out with shade. There are several tent sites with views of the pond. The shower was okay, clean and well maintained. For women, 3 regular showers and one handicap. It's a campground shower house, you can't expect too much. The office lady was super nice and helpful. My biggest complaint is no swimming in the pond, but I understand the liability and it would scare the fish away! The office did have a board with the listing for a local place that had open swimming, and other things. I liked that they shared that information. We had no issues and enjoyed our time. My parents said they will for sure stay here again. read more

Our family of five stayed in the Trapper's Cabin (#3) June 5-8 during a road trip through Indiana and Kentucky. I know my review will not do this place justice - it was everything we wanted and more! First off, the service provided by the owners, Dave and Kathy, is outstanding. Kathy called the day we were arriving to see if wanted to have firewood delivered to the cabin before we arrived. Upon arrival, check in was quick and easy. Kathy was in the office/store and gave us a quick orientation and handed over the keys. She provided us with phone numbers for herself and Dave to use if we needed anything, as well as a security number. As we were settling in, Kathy came by to make sure we had everything we needed. We asked about a basketball and fishing gear, and ten minutes later she and Dave returned with both. This example pretty much spells out the level of service we experienced during our entire stay. Both owners are visible on the property several times throughout the day and it is evident that they take pride in their guests' comfort and satisfaction. The campground consists of 50 or so sites for campers with electric and water hook-ups, seven cabins, and some space for tent camping. Each site has a fire pit with a grill grate attachment and picnic table. The cabins also have additional seating on the porches. There is a large pond in the center of the grounds with fishing as well as canoes and paddleboats you can rent by the hour. At the back of the campground there is a playground, basketball hoop, volleyball court, and horseshoes. There are some sheltered picnic areas near the pond. Finally, there is a walking trail that circles the property. They have free Wi-Fi, which worked well for us most of the time we were there. Our cabin slept six. It was clean when we arrived and the windows were cracked, so it was full of fresh air. As you walked in, there was a table that seated four to one side. On the other side of the room was a small counter area with a mini fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. A large wildlife print blanket/curtain separated the beds from the front area of the cabin. There was one queen bed with a twin bunk above, one double bed, and a twin bed located in a loft area. Although the "bedroom" area was small it was completely functional. There was a small alcove beneath the stairs where you could stow your luggage. The air conditioner was in the bedroom area and was nice and cold the days that we needed it. The loft was surprisingly roomy. I couldn't stand straight up, but it was perfect for children. The twin is a proper bed, not just a mattress on the floor, which was nice. The kids thought the stairs were steep, but I didn't find them to be terribly so. Hanging down the wall from the loft, and also above the front door were two beautiful deer hides that had been sculpted(?) and painted with wildlife images. The front porch of the cabin had two Adirondack chairs with a side table between, a larger round table, and a wicker-style loveseat. Note that these are primitive cabins in that they do not have bathrooms. For toilets and showers, you have to walk to the shower house (a two-minute walk). The bathrooms were exceptionally clean and smelled fresh every time we visited. The showers had good water pressure and nice hot water. I am picky about public restrooms and these were the cleanest I've ever seen. During our stay the kids enjoyed a lot of fishing. They each caught some crappie which we cooked over the fire. Fishing is free and you do not need a license to fish on the grounds. The store sells bait, ice, and firewood for the same price you can find in town. My husband and I enjoyed the peace and relaxation. The name of the campground couldn't be more apt; Peaceful Waters describes it perfectly. We stayed Monday-Wednesday, so there were only a few RVs there. I imagine on the weekends when it is full it would be a bit busier, but I wouldn't let that dissuade me. There is also a trading post on the grounds that has items for sale, as well as tradesmen who you can watch, and even get to try your hand at their crafts. For more info, please see my full review on Old Goat Trading Post. We rented our cabin for about $100/night (I think it was actually $95 plus taxes), so it was a great value for a family on a budget-friendly road trip. I cannot emphasize what a great time we had. We can't wait until we can make it back for a longer stay. read more

Decided to get out of the house for a bit and go camping. Saw some nice cabins on the website and knew that's what we were going to do. Such a nice campground. Our cabin was perfect for two people. We got a view of the pond with a swing on the back of our cabin. It had air conditioning and lights. Nicer than i expected. The shower house was directly across from our cabin and was surprisingly so clean! They have a nice little store with some essentials that you may need. Their are activities for kids such as volleyball, basketball, etc. We will definitely be back! read more

This campground was incredibly disappointing. My family stayed for Covered Bridge Fest. The locations was great. Only 10 minutes from the center of Rockville. The campground itself was not good. The sites were not laid out properly. The electric boxes were in awkward positions. You were left with only about 8' of grass in front of your trailer. The sites are all set up on an incline which made for a very unsafe step into and out of our travel trailer. The sites are surrounded on two sides by a road. The made for a very dusty experience (the speed limit of 5 is not enforced at all). I would not suggest this campground to anyone. read more

We had a horrible experience at this campground!!!!! First off the sites are crushed, chunky limestone. With a small strip of grass large enough for a few campchairs, fire ring and picnic table. We had to retrieve our own table from another site too, even tho they state each campsite is provided with one. There is absolutely no shade in the rv area. We had a two foot tulip tree! It is not peaceful either, as it is right along a major highway into town. The bathrooms are nice, but only four toilets and showers for a big campground. No hot water left after everyone in the morning. So no shower for me. Yuk! We had to pay for 3 nights as it was a holiday weekend even tho we were only staying two. This was the only campground in the area with availability and they said they only had one site left. So I bit the bullet and paid for the extra night anyway. This was not the case tho. There were at least 20 sites vacant all weekend. Now for the rest of the horror story... We brought our BRAND NEW EASY-GO Gas golf cart. Wanting to have the ease of going to shower house, camp store and toodling back to the lake and play area for my 6 year old grandson. We unloaded and I was setting up camp while my husband drove around. Mind you, this is actually a quite cart with a top speed of 16-18 mph. Not a hot rod. And it is brand new, not going to be tearing it up driving around stupidly. My husband was stopped by security and told the owner doesnt allow gas golf carts. I had reviewed the campsite rule prior to coming. And there was nothing on the site or my paperwork stating no gas golf carts. (It has been added since our incident. Note that it says no gas powered utility vehicles. A golf cart is not utility!) We spoke with the owner over the phone and he apologized for it not being on the site. And said he would appreciate if we did not drive it. My husband spoke with a staff member later and told her that we would not drive in the park, but go out back entrance to the county road to drive. She had no problem with this. We were four sites from back entrance. This was Saturday night. Sunday: We spent several hours at Turkey Run and came back for a rest. Grandma and grandpa took grandson out back gate to country road to ride golf cart. When we got back we noticed camp help kept driving by and circling around the loop. My daughter said she felt we were being harrased. Now after all, I do beleive this was the case. We left to go back to Turkey Run to return in the evening for supper. As we were preparing supper, a truck flew up to our site and a man come storming up to my husband. It was the owner, a belligerent gentleman at that! He got in my husband's face yelling at him about the golf cart. My husband tried to talk to him, but he hollered for him to shut up. This was his property and WE HAD BEEN TOLD NOT TO DRIVE THE CART!!! (Refer back to Saturday.) We tried to tell him we only drove out the back and had let staff know. He's screaming he doesn't care, it's his @$&##! Property and we have 45 minutes to get it loaded. Quote "AND LET ME TELL YOU, NO OTHER CAMGROUNDS IN THIS AREA ALLOW GOLF CARTS OF ANY KIND EXCEPT ONE!!!! The campsite next to us heard all of this and couldn't beleive that the owner would treat his "bread and butter" that way. We started to tear down camp as we no longer wished to stay. My daughter decided to call around to see of what he said was true. He lied!!!!! ALL the private campgrounds in that area allow golf carts electric AND gas!!!! We proceeded to pack up and ate our supper. Which the owner ruined our appetite for. And got the cart loaded. It is now dark by the way. The owner passes by once and says something unintelligible and then comes back by. My husband stops him and asked for 5 minutes of his time. He asked if we could have our money back. Well that set him off. The hollering started again. My daughter called him out on his lie and he called her a liar about calling other campgrounds. She went to show him her phone logs on the phone and he took off showering stones everywhere. A few feet later he flies off the cart and comes running screaming at my daughter wanting to know who threw a rock at him. Now her, my husband and daughters boyfriend are all telling him no one had. She was walking back and they were at our site. He's screaming, cussing and DRUNK!!!!! A cart full of beer and one in his hand. Boyfriend asks if he's drunk and he's screaming he's been sober 20 years. All while reeking of a brewery. Husband tells him to get the $@$@@ away you're drunk. We go back to our site and out of nowhere comes the camp brigade. Carts and cars everywhere. Standing around us like we were the criminals and dangerous. The owner goes to another site by us and starts apologizing and probably lieing some more to save face. After about 5 minutes they leave. Five minutes later...here comes three men (staff) in golf cart saying we have to leave now. read more

BEWARNED OWNER IS A FOUL MOUTH DRUNK!!!!! We decided to Camp here for Labor Day weekend this year. Our weekend started out fantastic got there everybody SEEMED to be nice. We set up camp had a great time but we were severely wrong. First of all the campsite that we had was told to have shade the only shade there was was a 2 ft tall tulip tree on the campsite. Also it says all campsites come with a fire ring and picnic table our campsite did not have a picnic table we had to go find our own picnic table on an empty campsite to pick up and bring all the way back to our campsite. And then we looked at the electric panel and found out that there is no regular plug-in just a plugin for 30 amp when usually they have both. Also there's only 4 showers and toilets for the women and 4 showers and 4 toilets for the men on this Campground and it's a very large Campground with several sites. Well we tried taking a shower in the morning there are so many people in that one shower house that they have that the hot water was non-existent and we could not all take a shower because of it. The bathrooms are also very filthy and dirty and not once did we see them being cleaned the whole weekend we were there. But the thing that was the worst that we've ever experienced on the campground was we brought our gas powered golf cart to drive around shortly after us getting it out and driving around for 5 minutes we are stopped by workers and told we were not allowed to drive gas powered on their Campground so we go back to our campsite look on the website, read the rules and contract we signed and they handed us and no where did it State gas-powered golf carts were not allowed we go up to the office to talk to them and finally see posted outside on the bulletin board way down in the corner tiny and small no gas powered golf carts are allowed mind you we drove 4 hours to come to this Campground. We went in and spoke to the workers to see why it wasn't on their website or in the contract they handed us they did not have any answers for us and had to call the owner when they finally got ahold of him I spoke to him he was being very calm on the phone apologized for it and admitted it should be on both the website and contract and said he'd appreciate if we didn't drive it but never stated we couldn't drive it. We went back to our Campground and didn't drive the golf cart around because they would appreciate if we didn't. The next day we go out and go hiking all day long come back to the campground to start dinner we're getting our fire going and a Truck comes flying down the campground Road slams his brakes right in front of our campsite and an older gentleman came flying out of his truck yelling at my father you're just the man I want to talk to. None of us know who this man is but he comes up to my father gets in my father's face yelling and screaming at him telling him that we were told not to drive the golf cart around we are all looking at him confused because we were out all day long and had not been at the campsite. He told us we had 45 minutes to get the golf cart loaded on the trailer even though he seen we were in the middle of dinner all of which he was yelling and cussing in front of my six-year-old son and he smelt like booze. He kept telling my father to shut up when he asked why wasn't it on his website and he told us that it was on his website even though the previous day he admitted it was not an apologized for it. He tried telling us that no Campground in the state of Indiana allowed gas-powered golf carts to which we knew was a lie because we have camped at several other campgrounds that allow them and then he changed his story when we called him out on it to saying that no other campgrounds around us allow gas-powered golf carts. I called all the other campgrounds near us within a 15-mile radius and was told by all the campgrounds they DID allow gas power golf carts. He made a huge scene cursing at us to where our camp neighbors beside us heard the whole thing and were amazed that an owner of a campground would speak to his source of income that way. We told them after we were finished eating we would load it up. We finished we loaded it up and the whole time we had the camp workers and him drive around our campsite at least a dozen times harassing us. When we finally loaded it up the owner come flying by drunk in his golf cart right by where my son was playing and screamed thanks for loading it up my father tried to stop him to ask him why he wouldn't just let us drive it around if it wasn't in the contract we signed to which he got very belligerent started screaming and cussing and st this point our other Camp neighbors were back at their campsite and seen the whole thing so now three campsites were involved in this even though none of us wanted to be. I calmly informed him that I called the other campgrounds around us and let him know that the other campgrounds allow gas powered golf carts to which he called m read more
