Wabash & Erie Canal Park Campground

We loved this little park and would have loved to stay longer if we didn’t have get somewhere else. It is right next to the city park with a Pioneer Village and the cannel with ten miles of walking/biking trails. On the weekends we they have activities and cannel boat rides. They only have four full hookups and two water and electric sites. The down side of he bathrooms are not as clean as you would expect after seeing the whole park.

We just spent one night but we arrived early so we had a chance to look around. The place is well maintained and clean. The season was just starting when we got here so some of the attractions like the boat ride are not running yet.

This would be a great stop for a family. there is a playground close by and plenty to explore. with miles of flat trails, biking is easy. I would definitely stay here again.

Heading south out of Elkhart, we happened on this great little campground (CG). We called two hours out and they had a site that would fit our 39’ 5th wheel. We followed our RV GPS and Google maps instructions to the city park and CG area. When we came down the road to the CG we were unsure of the CG location, but it is located right behind the interpretive/conference center building. We were in FHU site C, which was technically a pull through. However, you have to turn in front of the interpretive/conference center and go around the building to be able to pull through the site at the back of the building. But, there’s a pine tree that is overgrown and could have scratched the side of our fifth wheel. Since we had already drove past the interpretive/conference center and were in front of site C, we just backed in to the spot, which was an easy back in and easily fit our rig and F-450. We got 3 bars on Verizon and 4 OTA channels, which included CBS and CW prime channels. We walked our pups along the canal and enjoyed the historic displays and buildings in this small park. We were soon joined by the campground hosts who arrived for their 4th season and they were very nice. There are 4 FHU sites of which A is the camp host. All the sites will take rigs up to 40’. There are also electric and tent sites as explained in the CG picture attached. There are walking trails and other interesting exhibits to explore. This CG is definitely a hidden gem. Too bad we only had an overnight stay.
