Shipshewana Campground South

Shipshewana Campground South is a campground in Shipshewana, Indiana. It offers more than 150 RV and camping sites with city water and sewer, and 20/30/50 amp electrical service, including full hookup pull-through sites, big rig sites, full hookup back-in sites, grassy sites, and tent sites. Camping cabins are also available. The park welcomes weekend getaways, family reunions, group events, RV rallies, and family camping, and it serves as a rally headquarters with group and rally discounts. Weekly, biweekly, and monthly rates are offered. Pets are welcome with permission.

The grounds include two pavilions, one indoor and one open, along with bathhouses and restrooms, a guest laundromat, a dump station, an onsite gift shop, and a self-service RV wash bay. Picnic tables and fire pits are on every site, with community fire pits as well, and free Wi-Fi runs throughout the park. Firewood and ice can be purchased in the office. Check-in is 1 PM and check-out is 12 PM, and reservations are suggested. The park describes its grounds as landscaped and well maintained, with clean restrooms and level sites, and notes that back-in sites are larger than pull-throughs. It sits within walking distance of area restaurants, shops, stores, and flea markets.

The campground is on South Van Buren Street, also State Route 5, about half a mile from Menno-Hof and the same distance from Yoders Red Barn Shoppes. The Blue Gate Performing Arts Center is roughly a third of a mile away, and Shipshewana-Scott Elementary School is about eight tenths of a mile from the park.

Guests repeatedly note the friendly and helpful office staff, well-groomed and level sites, and quiet nights, with some returning several days at a time, at least once a month through the summer, for four years running. The park sits in the heart of Indiana's Amish country, within walking distance of the shops, restaurants, and flea markets that draw visitors to Shipshewana.
