Can I check in after hours? Of course, as long as it’s before dark. We know that your travel plans don’t revolve around our office hours.

Do you have an age limit for RVs? No. But we do have a condition limit. Basically, if your RV is in good condition, you’re welcome in your 1977 GMC Eleganza (oh wait… that’s ours). When booking we ask the year of your RV just for reference. If it’s older, we may ask for pictures to verify the condition.
Can I keep my boat/trailer at my site? We don’t allow boats, trailer, etc at the site but we will provide a place to registered guests for you to store them at no charge. Check with us when you arrive.
What kind of promotions/discounts do you offer? Our promotions and discounts change occasionally but we usually have some kind of deal. Check our PROMOTIONS PAGE for what we are currently offering.
Can I bring my golf cart or e-bike? Absolutely, as long as it's safe, in good condition, and you promise to follow the speed limit. We ask that golf carts be checked in at the office when you arrive. We do have some rules… safety first. Before you book, check out our GOLF CART POLICY. Some people have asked to bring their side by side/UTV…. Unfortunately that’s not allowed.
When is your office open? CLICK HERE for our current office hours.
Do you have a store? I’m glad you asked. Yes, we do. We have the basic necessities and convenience items, a few items you might have forgotten, plus some unique and fun gifts and merchandise. And don’t forget the Happy Acres swag.
Do you have wifi? Well.... in most of the campground, yes. We currently have basic internet throughout most of the campground and we are still working on more options for the future.
Do you have a pool? Yes. And you can find our current pool hours on our AMENITIES page.
What activities do you have? Check it out! EVENTS & ACTIVITIES. We’re making a real effort in 2024 to give you relaxing and fun adventures at Happy Acres. Adult campers will be excited to see what’s in store. We’ve listened to our campers and planned some fun, unique, and interesting activities.
Why do you charge guest fees? It’s not a simple question to answer but in short, entertaining at the campground isn’t free. Extra people can add wear and tear on our systems & utilities, require added cleaning and supplies for bathrooms, create more maintenance on equipment, structures, and roads, etc. Not to mention the time required for staff to check in visitors and manage a busier campground…. which I think you’ll agree is important in order to keep you, your guest and the other campers safe.
How close is the nearest grocery store? It doesn’t matter… we have what you need. Just kidding. There’s a few places including a Walmart and Meijer within a few miles. But really… check with us first.
Can I bring a generator? You absolutely can but please, nothing obnoxious and don’t use it during quiet hours.
Do you sell fire wood and ice? Yes. We have bags of ice and firewood available at the campstore during normal hours and at our self-pay station 24 hours a day.
Can you fill my propane tank? Yes. We have the ability to fill it by volume or weight.
Do you provide picnic tables and fire rings? You bet. Each site has both but please don’t move the fire rings.
Who do I call after the office is closed? We always have someone on call for camping emergencies. Calling the main phone number will allow you to leave a message but you can also text which is sometimes faster. 260-665-9843. We will also have the contact info and site # for the camp host on duty posted at the office. For all other emergencies you know the drill… call 911.
Do you have winter camping? We don’t. Some people have asked if we make exceptions…. Unfortunately no.
