Prophetstown State Park

This is a Five Star campground in our opinion and was one of THE nicest that we stayed in during an around-the-country trip this summer - 2020. The campground is in the 2,000 acre Prophetstown State Park which is located at the confluence of Tippecanoe and Wabash Rivers...... a site of historical importance. There are 2.4 miles of bike trails, and also 2+ miles of hiking/walking trails, as well as an aquatic center. Most of the individual camping sites are large, level, and have lots of trees surrounding the site to provide privacy and shade. The restrooms/showers were immaculate. Our FHU site #167 was quiet, and reasonably priced for $30. The grounds around the park are beautiful and we wished we had stayed longer than just the 1 night. We stayed in a 27 foot travel trailer. Highly recommend!

Other than the fact it was a bear to find (Apple Maps led us astray by several miles), this is an excellent park. Sites are well laid out, level, and smooth gravel. Most have trees between for a little privacy.

Can’t say there was much of a view, but we were only there for an overnighter while traveling East.

The gate attendant waived the $8 per vehicle access charge (which would have made it rather expensive), so that was appreciated.

This is a great addition to the Indiana State Park Family. This park is located along the Wabash River and the confluence of the Tippecanoe River & the Wabash. This park celebrates the beginning of the tallgrass prairie. There are 110 nice level sites. 55 are full hookups and 55 are electric only. The 100 sites are nestled in an old Christmas Tree farm and each site has full hookups and is has vegetation that gives each site nice privacy. The 200 numbered sites are on the prairie and offer a great prairie view. All sites in the park are well taken care of and the park is kept in great shape. There is a great paved bike/walking path that runs through the park. 5 hiking trails, an aquatic center ($5 per person for the day), a working farm you can visit, a visitor's center and an Indiana Village.

This was our second time at this state park and it was wonderful both times. The full hook-up sites are spacious and have plenty of trees to provide privacy and shade. They were clean, dry, and level. We were here for a week of camping with our siblings and their spouses, and we all enjoyed the peace and relaxation. We rode bikes on the bike trail, visited the historic farm, and spent plenty of time at the aquatic center. There is shopping and dining not too far away. The park was easy to access and the drive to the camping section was beautiful. The whole park was clean and the staff very helpful. We camped in a 32' travel trailer and had no problem fitting into our site. We will definitely camp at Prophetstown again.

This is our second time camping at this state park. WiFi is not the greatest but that is okay. We come here for the scarecrow exhibits. Everyone is quite friendly especially the camp ground hosts. There are a lot of good restaurants in the area. A winery and a brewery too! The nice thing about this location is the pull through sites are full hook ups. In the summer there’s a water park. Which we have not experienced yet. I recommend this campground to everyone!

This is by far the best state campground we have stayed in all of our travels. The grounds were immaculate, the biking/walking trail system is top notch. The park includes a working farm that you can visit at no extra charge, a fantastic aquatic center with water slide, lazy river and interactive kids' pool for $5 per person for the whole day. If you decide to venture outside the park, the Lafayette area has much to offer in restaurants and activities.

Our campsite was gravel and grass, it was pretty level. We had full hookups. There are some water electric sites as well. In the center of the campground there is a very nice bathhouse with flush toilets. Vault toilets are also available in other parts of the campground and park.

We felt like this was a great place to stay and look forward to returning.

Prophetstown is a new state park--less than 10 years old near the towns of Battle Ground, Lafayette and West layette, IN. It's easily accessible from the highway yet very much in a rural setting. The drive into the park and campgrounds is long but the road is wide and the landscape is beautiful Midwest prairie.
There are two adjacent campgrounds,Spruce, which is wooded and Savannah which is in a open and sunny. All are full hook ups. The sites are large--although the Spruce sites appear to be larger and the Savannah--and mostly level.
Hiking/biking trails are all paved and plentiful. There are large open expanses of prairie and plenty of picnicking spots. Also on park land there are an operating 1920's historic farm, an Indian village and a water park.
We've camped here in both Fall and Spring and look forward to coming back.

Most recent stay was June 6th 2017- I'm "late" in posting my review ~ We camp in a "Tear Drop” style RV only 15' long w/o toilet or shower ~ plus we like to eat outdoors using the picnic table and set up our dining canopy for sun and weather protection and thus rely on condition of campgrounds facilities and being nearby our site ~ so our critique is focused in that area

Liked our site #210, (electric only) was in newer section of park right next to restroom albeit it had no shade trees unlike the older section that did. Modern restroom/shower building; very roomy with ample # of stalls with full tiled walls was clean and well kept. Each stall had bench in changing area and ample hooks for towels and clothes. Nice conveniences but it would have been better if there were rubber floor mats as you exit shower to keep feet off wet floor. Communal sink area had shelves for toiletries beneath each mirror but no hooks for hand towels and no paper towels for cleanup after use leaving sinks somewhat messy.

Overall grounds were well cared for; grassy areas surrounded sites that were large and flat with gravel and level and good distance way from neighboring sites. Minimal vegetation between sites for privacy but time will tell. This state park gets a high rating and will return when in the area.
