This campground while rated "five W" is way overated, 98% extended stay, very negative attitude by employees. While they have a gate, they neglect to give an entry card. The small lake in the back is "lake view" and the sites are geared to park with your rear end to the lake (some view). The Pond/Lake has plenty of ducks and you know what they leave all over the ground.... This is a 3 "W" place at best. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Big rig friendly. Easy in and out. Camp staff were very helpful. Sites were level and had enough elbow room to your neighbor. Note that weekend before Labor Day the town and campground activities were all but non-existent. We camped here in a Motorhome.
While this park had all of it's advertised amenities, it was not worth the price. My "upgraded" site had a sparsely graveled pad and looked at the back of a chain link boat storage yard. Any visitor to your site pays $5 EACH. That included my 88 year old Aunt! There is an electronic lift gate at the entrance that has to be activated by an employee, regardless of the time of day. I waited several minutes on some occassions while the gate employee wandered off. Children on golf carts were always a threat to run into you as you walked throughout the park. This is over priced for what you are asked to put up with. I would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We spent 3 nights here and basically liked the park. We did not find it to be noisy, but were here in late June before the height of the summer season. The place is spotless, both in terms of grounds and restrooms. We especially liked the Adults Only pool, where it was definitely possible to swim laps without kids doing cannonballs on top of you! This was a big plus for us. There is a pond and a nice platform on which to view sunsets across Lake Erie. We'd stay here again. This is a good place. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Last year we rated this park a "9", this year a seven as we were disappointed. The staff was friendly, but the fee was up $10 from last year for an identical site. The main interior road had a very large amount of heaving in the surface that needed repair. The sites are tight to get into due to narrow roads and a new post that was placed next to the concrete pad. Once in the gravel site it was long enough to keep car hooked up & wide enough for any number of slides. Each site had a table & fire ring. The water had been moved so a long hose was not needed. Two pools-one for adults only & one for children & parents. Park seemed to be catering to seasonal & long term campers. We will look for an alternative next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This place is by far the most rowdy place we've stayed! Quiet hour is supposed to be at 11:00pm but there were parties, radios, vulgar language, and noise heard well passed 12:30 AM. There are no assigned sights for small rv's. There are only a hand-full of full hook-up sights that can be reserved. This means first come, first served. The restrooms and showers were clean and fairly new but there are only 2 of these modern facilities and they were always busy. The out houses that they had randomly placed elsewhere are HORRIBLE! I guess it would be an OK place to camp as a group as long as you could stay together. As a family with small children, we will not be back to this campground! We thought Geneva-on-the-Lake was a pretty cool place. It might be a tourist trap but it was kind of like a blast from the past! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Unfortunately one of the most crowded and noisiest places we've ever been. Traffic is allowed pretty much all night long. They say "security is great" and there is a security gate, but what they don't tell you is that they NEED all that security. Police patrols and security golf carts make rounds all through the night - how's that for noise? The swimming pool was unreal, salty. Too many people, not enough maintenance. The lots are very, very tight, even for my little 21' TT. Stay elsewhere! Try Kennisee or the State Park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Big but looks like new rest room and showers. Nice little cafe/bar on site. The miniature golf also looks new. It will be no problem for a big rig. We camped here in a Motorhome.
While this park has a lot of amenities, it was by far the worst night sleep we ever had in a campground, it was very noisy, a lot of parties, underage drinking going all night long. We had to go get security twice during the night at 2:00 a.m. and again at 3:00 a.m. due to rowdiness at the next campsite. The last time that we went for security, we had to walk all the way to the front of the campground before we found them having their own party up there. We were told that the management would take care of us in the morning, we took that to mean a refund. When we reported this to management the next morning, we were told that we could have left and went to a hotel if we wanted a good nights sleep. We would not recommend this campground to anyone who wants to be treated with respect and get any rest while trying to sleep in a tent. We camped here in a Tent.
This Park is excellent. The sites are very wide and uniform. It is very close on Geneva on the Lake and across the street is Lake Erie. I would recommend you stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wow what a park! This place is hugh. The showers were a 10+. Plenty of room in each stall. The staff was a little abrupt but we did not much contact with them. The WI-FI only worked at the front of the park, so I had to drive from my spot to the first spot in the park to get WIFI. It is located right on Lake Erie and that was great. I would definitely use this park again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stay here often. It is by far the cleanest campground that I have ever been to. The bathrooms/showers are closed and cleaned a few time a day. It does cost a little more; however, it is worth it. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This was our first campground ever as we had just purchased our camper a few weeks prior. As such, we didn't really know what to expect. The CG was pretty full the weekend we were there. We were in a general - "park where you want" area on grass under trees. Since it rained that weekend, our site and most others in our area were pretty muddy. We chose this location due to its proximity to the pool and shower house - both of which were beautiful and more importantly clean. It didn't seem as though any of the employees voluntarily did anything about enforcing the quiet hours. Since I'm not one to complain I can't say whether they would have had I said something. There was a lot of traffic up and down our "street" until about 2AM. The facility amenities are great. Lots to do for kids of all ages including mini-golf, swimming, a game room and playground. I would recommend camping at a full hook-up site if available as you won't feel quite as crowded as the general camping area is during the summer months. If we go back, that's where we will stay, but I understand they book up well in advance. They had a planned social in the hall one of the nights we were there - some kind of country music thing. Though that isn't our family's taste in music, it was a nice amenity to offer their guests. We chose this CG because of its close proximity to Lake Erie which was right across the street. There is a viewing area where you can sit and look at the lake but no easy access to it. We had hoped there might be lake swimming available but there's not. Downtown Geneva on the Lake is somewhat of resort town that although it's seen better days, did have enough options for shopping and entertainment. The state park is just a few miles down the road and they have public beach swimming. All in all, for our first family camping adventure, Indian Creek was a nice experience and I'd recommend it to others. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice Campground, The "strip" which is the local tourist trap is a bit run down however. Was a bit expensive for tent camping. We camped here in a Tent.
Visited park in 40' motorhome. Large, full service resort. Staff was friendly & helpful. Park was clean & modern. 2 hotel style pools with plenty of clean pool furniture. All main roads were paved & in good condition. There are a few gravel roads that were also in good condition. Gravel sites were wide enough for any size motorhome with any number of slides. Most sites were satellite friendly, but complete cable was included. There is a mix of full time, seasonal and vacationers, but they are separated well. Utilities are modern and conveniently placed. Depending on size of rig one may need a longer hose as water at front of sites. Each site has table and fire ring. There is a large laundrymat by entrance and a couple of clean mini-laundries in park(they were expensive). Lots of activities and facilities to accomodate groups. Nice miniature golf, snack bar, and camping store. We will stay at this park again and consider it good value considering the facilities. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is clean and well-maintained. The w/e sites are spread out and you have plenty of room for dogs and kids. Do not go to the restaurant on premises (Farone's)! The service is terrible and the food is over-priced. Campground is quiet and convenient to Geneva-on-the-lake. The pools are very clean and the adults-only pool is a nice touch for those that do not have children. There is a nicer miniature golf course in Geneva-on-the-Lake so we didn't use the campground's. It rained hard the one night and the campground drained nicely. The w/e sites are great for big rigs, but the full- hook-up sites were crowded. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Very large, full service park. Many family activities. Construction on roads leading to park made access terrible. The village of Geneva-On-The-Lake was a tourist trap and very disappointing. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Nice campground. Folks were friendly. Very clean bathrooms, showers and laundry. Nice lake with ducks and swans. There is a nice playground and game room for the kids. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We stayed overnight here in a pop-up in July of 2003. This is a huge, well maintained
park. Most of the sites are seasonal, but some are for short termers. If you make a reservation, you can only get a full hookup site. The water and
electric sites are only available on a first come, first served basis. The reserved, full hookup sites are pretty much in the full sun. Many of the other
sites are shaded. The restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities are very impressive and clean. There are two pools (one for family and one for adults,
both are heated) and a lake for fishing. They also have a nice playground area. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Huge, well maintained park. Restrooms/showers/laundry were particularly impressive - very, very clean and large. Separate adult heated pool. Farones Restaurant/Step Above Lounge on site has very good food at reasonable prices. A best buy is their all you can eat fish fry on Friday nights. Paved streets in front, open area - lots of permanent residents. Rear area has shaded sites and gravel roads. Camp store has plenty of supplies.
Reservations needed for full hookup sites. We camped here in a camper.
