Terre Haute Campground

We just spent a night here as we passed through from NJ to WY and we had the best time! Ruth came by and delivered cookies to us and couldn't be more hospitable. The grounds are not huge but they have everything- pool, fully stocked store, restaurant, 24 flavors of ice cream, laundry and two adorable donkeys that our kids were in love with (camp store sells food). We loved it here and would definitely go back!

Stayed one night before Thanksgiving, was quiet, friendly people running the place. Gravel was level and full hookups. They have electric heaters on their water hook ups.

Average KOA. Stayed 2 nights, and it stormed most of the time. Our site puddled quite a bit. Dog park was small and somewhat muddy. Lots of trees so no satellite reception - tried portable dish as well but to no avail. Cable was snowy - typical for an older park. Site was level. Water pressure and WiFi were average. Staff was friendly and helpful. The donkeys were cute. Roads were navigable for our 38' rig plus Jeep in tow. Our Garmin 760 got us there just fine.

Stayed on the way through and it was very nice. The gravel pull thru’s we’re level and the activities to do on property was pretty cool.

This was a nice surprise we found close to freeway. Very clean, well cared for campground. Could hear the freeway noise outside of the camper. Nice staff. Level gravel pull thru sites.Great wi-fi. Military discount. No complaints.

We were looking for a place to stay the night (we were driving through from northeast Ohio to southwest Arkansas). Through Campendium I found this campground. It was too late to use their reservation system (which didn't seem to allow/accept same day reservations) but FAQ section of their website gave instructions for those who arrive after hours without reservations, so we gave it a shot.

It was easy to get to from I70. It was about 8 pm (the office closes at 6 pm). Locating an available spot was the easiest we have encountered... at a well lit corner of the office building were slots for every site, and a map of the campground. For sites that were available there was a laminated card with the site's information (size; services e.g. electric, sewer, if it was a pull through; and cost). For those sites that were reserved but people had not shown up yet, there were packets with the last names (which presumably contained all the info they needed for their stay). We just needed to pick a site, take the laminated card from its slot, take one of the provided maps, and an after hours registration envelope and then proceed to our site to set up (we had a pull through site with full hook ups; the cost was $62 but with Good Sam discount paid $56). A pleasant related experience: while looking at the available site information, a woman passing by asked if we had ever been there before. When we said no, she enthusiastically told us how much she and her family loved the place, that they come every year, some campground information, and gave advice on sites and driving to the site (it was dark so that info is always helpful).

We noticed a number of amenities even though dark, and then more the next morning as we walked our dogs. There is a short walking trail through the woods (the outer most sites are up against or under trees; those in the middle had either one to a few trees or no trees). There is a pet exercise area (a no leash place for your dogs to scurry around). There is a large playground with what looked like a lot of things for the kids to play on. Getting to the playground is through a little covered bridge which is not only cool but is needed because the playground is nearly surrounded by large enclosed areas containing two donkeys (mules?), and adorable sheep and tiny goats. I believe you can pet the animals, but even if not they are adorable to watch. There is also an "outdoor kitchen" which is a common area near the office with a large fire pit and lots of seating. There are a number of amenities we didn't use on our quick visit (I suggest perusing their website).

This is a family owned campground (one of four they have). They obviously care about their campgrounds and the people who stay there. The campground is near to I70 which initially worried me, because repetitious, constant noise drives me nuts :) but it turned out to not be a problem at all... it was far enough away that the the traffic sound was more like white noise which I didn't even notice after a while. While you can tell that the buildings are older, they are well maintained and clean. There is only one bathroom facility (with showers) which is in the office/camp store building, but because the campground is fairly small it is not far to walk at all if you need them. There are cabins to rent, spots for tent camping, and trailer/motor home sites; we saw nearly every size of RV from pop-ups to Class A's. The rates vary depending on site size and services; they give a discount for Good Sam or military personnel (and one other discount but cannot recall what that one was). We would definitely stay there again if driving through the area or visiting Terre Haute.

This review is based on a short-term stay versus a destination campground (CG). It was an interesting drive to the CG off I-70 through 2 traffic circles and into the CG as it's close to I-70 but not right off the highway. There was good signage to the CG. The office was closed on a Monday at about 5:00 PM but our paperwork was in the slots outside the office. We followed the provided CG map to pull through site 51 with FHUs. On our second stay two days later we were guided into site 47 with FHUs. Two sites share utilities. This was a nice CG for an overnighter on the way to and from Elkhart, IN for RV maintenance. They have a good-sized dog park. We got 4 bars each on Verizon and T-Mobile. There are mature trees in this CG, but you should not have a problem getting a satellite signal. We got a lot of OTA channels as the CG does not have cable. WiFi performed well for a CG this size. The water pressure was decent. For site 47, watch the tree to the right as you turn in as we brushed our awning. They have tent sites and cabins. There were permanent/transit/seasonal parties here and their sites for the most part were well maintained. The goats and donkeys were a pleasant addition.

Very nice RV park. Short one night stay on a long road trip. Several renovations in process. Nice play area for kids with a small petting zoom. Door Dash services this area which was a nice bonus. Only one bath/shower faculty during renovations so that wasn’t great considering it’s sharing a shower/bath combo facility for men/women.

We stayed in a premium patio site at this campground which had a nice privacy fence on one side and ample cement patio with a small grill and wrought iron patio furniture. It is nicely shaded in most sites and quiet despite being not far from the highway. Shopping for groceries, etc. Is about 10 min away. This is a former KOA campground, so you'll expect it to have a layout (a mix of paved (super premium) and gravel RV sites, cabins and tent sites) and amenities of other adorned KOAs. Among other things, it has a pool, jump pad and playground for the kids, small store, kid "race track", gem panning, etc. The best and most fun thing about this park are the friendly resident donkeys and goats, which we and our pup enjoyed visiting each day!

We came in last min. On our way back east. Spots couldn’t be any nicer. Wish we could have stayed longer with all the amenities offered. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful… even driving you to your spot and then guiding you in. Will definitely stop here on the return trip!
