Sites: The electric sites are quite large in comparison to other campgrounds, leaving plenty of room for privacy. We have also camped at the youth tent area for scouts, which have been remodeled since we have been there. Most of the sites are flat with plenty of grass - great for tent camping.
Activities: There are plenty of things to do to keep a family busy. Since the campground is on the lake, there is fishing, boating and a beach for swimming. Since the beach has small gravel rather than sand, building sand castles is out of the question. But you can throw a football or frisbee.
There is a fishing pier near the beach area and there are a couple of inlets that many people use for fishing. The campground also has a disc golf course - I believe it is a 24 hole course. You will need to bring your own discs or purchase one in the camp store near the beach. They also have basketball courts and volleyball close to the campground. There are a couple of older, wooden playgrounds for the younger children. There are several trails for hiking and a bike trail.
One thing this campground is missing is an Interpretive or Nature Center. I always enjoy going to the peaceful Nature Center when we are camping to watch the birds.
The campground is know for it's fall camping weekends. Although we have never camper during one of these weekends, we did drive up there one weekend and walk around the campground. Most campgrounds were decorated and since this was close to Halloween, our boys had the opportunity to "trick-or-treat" at the campsites. You'll have to book early if you want to camp during one of these weekends, unless you use the youth tent area or the non-electric sites.
Every year, they hold the Mighty Mississinewa Triathlon in September, if that's something you are interested in either participating in, or watching.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best), if give this campground a 9. And since it's close to home, we are more likely to just head up there to camp over a weekend.
