Elkhart County-Middlebury KOA

This KOA is highly trafficked by overnighters but is clean, tidy and the management is friendly and flexible. We've been to a few older KOAs where the amenities are falling apart, but this KOA has kept their mini golf, gem mining, fishing pond, playground, and pool pretty pristine. The landscaping is tidy.

Most of the sites here are full-hook-up but only 30A. A few are 50A. We didn't have issues with the water being terrible, but maybe we just didn't notice. It was good pressure and didn't smell or feel weird to us.

The sites are typical KOA close together, but you've got about 20' of grass space between your neighbor. We asked to move to site one for a clearer view of the sky for our Starlink and the management made that happen which was very cool.

The road traffic here is load if you're in the first few rows, but a bit quieter towards the back of the park where the management tends to send people.

The pool was clean and clear - staff cleaned it every nigh after closure at 8pm.

The store is well stocked, and there is an ice cream stand kitty-corner to the park that you can walk to. Laundry room has 6 washers and 6 dryers all in working order.

We had our niece and nephew with us here (11) and they very much enjoyed the amenities here, catching (and releasing) fish in the pond and swimming all day. The staff is hands off, but will pop out to gently remind kids not the hang on the rope in the pool.

Verizon was 74 down and 3 up, Starlink worked well in one of the few sites with a clear view of the sky, and the park WiFi was usable for everything but video calls.

I think my headline says it all. Can I give it less than one star?
A run down RV Park to be sure, but we only needed to be here for two days as we were getting some repairs done on our RV in Shipshewana.
I would have been fine with the price if their well water did not pollute and contaminate my entire system. Even though we filter through a large canister type filter, the water is so iron rich that all of our water now comes through as brown. It even still has a metallic taste and odour after going through our Brita filter system.
YUCK!!!!!!
The fact that their Wifi worked ok and the sewer/electric worked well, you should NEVER stay here. I read the review from last fall about the water, but it didn't seem to really have the desired effect on me to look elsewhere.
On my way home tomorrow, so I will clean and sanitize the entire system then.

Right by all the RV manufacturers. If you don’t mind driving for an hour, Warren Dunes SP in Michigan is on Lake Michigan, so a great way to kill time while waiting for RV work to be completed. Also, Blue Gate Restaurant in Shipshewanee was wonderful.
The KOA was helpful to us when we needed to change spots to get better access to cable. Nice owner. Laundry worked fine.

We moved here for a few days after a RV rally in Goshen at the Elkhart Fairgrounds. The campground appeared a little worn down. If your intentions are to visit the Amish area, and you’re just sleeping here, fine. First impressions were that the Store was poorly stocked, the pool was fine, some washers were out of order, the miniature golf was worn out, the gem mining was in poor condition, nice fishing pond and sand volleyball park, game area was ok. But the water was well water and full of iron. After 3 days, I had to throw out my filters!

We arrived after hours after a ridiculously long drive. Our checkin info was labeled and easy to follow to our site for the night. We were able to locate our site on our own without any trouble. The site was level and large enough for us to situate our truck and trailer well for hooking up and opening the slide without any trouble. There is a fuel station just down the street.

We stayed at this KOA in May and had a really great experience. The owner and entire staff were very kind and helpful throughout our stay. We had some mechanical issues with our RV and they offered some good advice (and tools!) to help us fix them up and get on our way. The grounds were pretty and well maintained, the restrooms and showers very clean, the camp store fully stocked and various hangout areas throughout the property made for great outdoor walking and sitting options. We highly recommend this site if you're in the area.
