Indian Lakes Campground — Hotel in Lagrange

Overall great experience and nice campground. Starting with a positive note, we found all the staff members and seasonal campers extremely nice, helpful and went out of their way to help us. (A special shout out to the very nice couple that helped us figure out the laundry machines and offered great conversation while there). Very laid back staff! Things I wish I had known before before booking. 1. They don’t enforce quiet hours. I’m actually great with this, as I don’t get upset if someone is enjoying a late night now and then! But, for some it could be a problem. 2. The age on the golf carts is extreme. 21?? I’m sure it’s for insurance purposes, but 21?? If you can drive a car and have a license and insurance you should be able to handle a golf cart. 3. The flies!! Again, this isn’t something they can control. It’s right next to a horse farm. But, please know before booking that they are extreme and bring a fly swatter or spray! Speaking of horse farms, it does have a farm smell. If you know what I mean. You get used to it, but it IS strong. 4. And this is a big one! They rent pontoon boats. Which is exactly what we do every year wherever we camp They say you can get to Dallas lake which is an all sports lake with a sandbar. However, you have to go under a bridge that gives you inches if that to go under. We had to lay on the floor of the boat, and pray we would make it. This was actually a highlight of our trip because it was definitely an adventure! But, most families would never dare try it. So, please take note that if you rent a pontoon, you will most likely stay inside the small no wake lake. Which was never explained to us until we got into the boat. Which I must say, the condition of the pontoon definitely looked like it had more than a few blunders with the bridge! And finally 5. The camp store is great, and it sells snacks and ice cream and small necessities. But, they are really missing the mark because it doesn’t sell beer!! Every where you go, it’s a long slow drive since you’re in the country with all farmland. This may not bother most, but it would’ve been great to have that convenience (or luxury) to purchase beer from the store. In which most campgrounds that we have been too do when they have a store. I don’t think it’s a deal breaker for most, but they could sure make money! Overall, our family enjoyed our trip! Again, this is more informational and things we would’ve like to know before coming down from MI to be a little more prepared. Happy Camping! And thank you for your...

To Paul and all the staff at Indian Lakes please do not take this personally we are just trying to give a honest review. Also this is only my opinion. First of all we are weekend campers and have no desire to be seasonal at any campground. Our friends and family have spent at least a weekend there for the past several years, we always had a great time. There are good and bad things about Indian Lakes. 1st the good. The lodge, indoor pool, shower area and restrooms are second to none, and there are always activities and things to do. MOST of the staff is very nice and helpful. The beach area is OK, the trails are OK(as long as you don't get run over by the crazy people on golf carts) LOL. Now the bad. Weekend campers are a very small part of this large campground, so small in fact that the area that they put you in so you can almost reach out and touch the other campers next to you in the front area. In both areas you have to wait for other campers to leave because they pact you 2 deep. Also some of the seasonal people are not very nice to the weekenders(I will not go into details). I almost thought it was a misprint when I looked at the prices for 2015 weekend camping. It is now $70 to $100 a night to stay there making it by far the most expensive campground i have heard of or stayed at. There are "RV Resorts" that are much nicer with indoor pools and huge paved pads that are not this expensive and have many more things to do. Property Management is my career and I do understand the money it takes to run a campground of this size, but i also understand the desire to make money in this type of business. How much will you have to raise your prices before weekenders stop coming(unless this is what you want, just to be a seasonal only campground). We still enjoy the camping times we had there and i guess if you can afford it is a nice place to go for the weekend. But until you lower your prices to something reasonable we will...

Stayed here for a weekend, overall great experience. The other residents of the campgrounds all seemed friendly and sociable, making the grounds feel very homey and welcoming. Certain pets are also welcome. Several tiers of cabins are available to rent with varying amenities in each. There are also golf carts to rent out, and maps available, to make getting around the campgrounds much easier. At the north end of the grounds are around 20 acres of walking trails, a lot of which seemed to be filled with overgrown grass and other small plants, so exploration beyond the more obvious trails is highly encouraged to make the absolute most of them, but be sure to stay safe! There are also two options for swimming: an indoor heated pool with a sloped floor to provide different depths for easy family use, and a small portion of a lake. Additionally, outside of the swimming boundaries of the lake, small watercraft can be used, with some available for rental. Please review the campgrounds website, as there are further details on their policies regarding pets and firewood, among...
