Everything was clean and inviting. It snowed the whole time we were there but we’re able to use water and sewer, unlike other campgrounds in the area.

The trains go all day and all night. Stay away from tracks if you are a light sleeper. Verizon service was ok. No streaming but could do texting and some phone calls.
Bathrooms were plentiful and clean.
Saw a Bald Eagle flying over one day!

As someone else commented below, the trains run often and they are LOUD - especially if you are on the far side of the campground. My advice is to ask to be as far from the tracks as possible. If you land in the wrong section, they will definitely be annoying. Otherwise, the campground was fine. It was quite empty when we were there and there were no events, so it was quiet (other than the blaring horns of the trains). It's certainly a convenient spot if your traveling across the country or want to visit Elkhart.

We’re here for the FROG rally so nightly stay is part of the package. We used to live right next to I-95 so the trains going by all day are a nonissue to us. Park is well laid out, a bit close to each other, but everything works and satellite people will love the open skies.
Amazing Verizon reception.

Great place to stay to visit RV Hall of Fame in Elkhart and also convenient for driving the Heritage Trail around the Amish areas. Some train noise but it did not bother us. Maple Indian Restaurant in Goshen was great.

Basic campground with full hook-ups, but nothing else. The fairgrounds are large, but we didn't see a playground or anything for kids other than the fields to run around and play ball in. At dusk, the lightning bugs were stunning, thousands of them all over the fields twinkling like stars. The biggest negative is the train noise. It's so close that you can feel it rumbling the RV. It blows it's horn several times. There's a train every 5-10 minutes around the clock. In 5 years fulltime RVing, we've never seen such busy train traffic. Granted, we chose the only end spot available and it was the site closest to the train tracks, but I don't normally complain about train or traffic noise; however, I feel it has to be mentioned because the other reviews seem to downplay it and it is MAJOR noise. For that reason, we would only camp here again if we were in a pinch (as we were this time due to 4th of July weekend).
Site & Location: The roads in are fine for big rigs, no problems. Enter through the second gate (It looks like the RV park is at Gate 1, but enter at Gate 2 to check-in first). Check-in is in the big brick 4-H building. Sites are small and close. Thank God there was hardly anyone here and they let us pick our site, so we could space out a bit. We had a picnic table. All sites are back in with water located at the back of the site, so take a long hose. Sewer is also located towards the back and may require an extension hose. We had a 50 amp electric, water, and sewer site for $33 a night plus tax, which in my opinion, is way too much for these sites. Antenna TV picked up all network channels plus some.
Service: Both Verizon and AT&T work here, but Verizon works much better. As a fulltime family, we work and school on-the-road, as I know many do, so here are the cell service speed tests I did: AT&T - 8.65 (download), 0.24 (upload); Verizon - 10.9 (download), 5.21 (upload). We could stream/game on both (barely on AT&T); however, I teach online with VIPKID and only Verizon was strong enough for that. Hope that helps.

We were coming into the area for some RV Repairs and chose the fairgrounds due to their great location and also because they just wrote our name down when we called for reservations and asked if we would call if we needed to cancel. How nice is that. This is a large fairground and they have camping areas scattered all around. We chose their 50 amp full hook up area, which happened to be right next to a couple horse corrals. We had live entertainment each day. All the sites are large and easy to back in or pull thru. The staff was friendly and they provided a great packet of information that helped point us to a few fun adventures while we were in the area. $33 for full hookup 50 amp and $25 for 30 amp and water.

This campground is huge, clean and spacious. We stayed here for an Entegra Homecoming Rally and extended our stay for another week. Most of the campground emptied out after the rally which gave us plenty of space and quiet.
The only downside is the noise from the trains, but that is minimum. Inside the RV you don't even notice, but if you're outside visiting you have to wait for the train to go by to continue talking.
The wifi was poor during the rally, but worked well after the park emptied.

Wonderful park. Sites are level gravel surrounded by grass. Lots of room, nothing cramped. There is a railroad track and some train traffic but barely noticeable.
There are multiple sections. I was in the Northwest section. These sites are all 50A full service. There are 275 50A FHU spots. There are also 72 sites with 30A/water.
Simple pricing at $23 and $30 plus tax.
Pretty popular are with rallies due it's location in the heart of RV land. Name a brand and it is probably built with 100 miles of Goshen.
It also has a heavy Amish heritage and many shops/stores with Amish furniture and crafts.
Factory tours are available at most of the major manufacturers. I did the Newmar Motorcoach tour. Fascinating to watch the build process from the chassis coming in the door to a finished coach being built. Currently they are building 9 per day. Simply amazing.
Solid Verizon coverage.
