Called them the day of arrival about 4 hours before and they were able to get me an overnight spot. Great prices and a very easy location. Garbage on the way out which is nice. Note: we were there in the beginning of Feb so obviously it may be busier in the summer and the same day calling probably won’t work.
Had a good mix of monthly campers, and overnighters.

Stay for 8 nights 9/8/24 to 9/16/24. Almost did not stay here due to some of the negative reviews. That would have been a mistake. I don't use the shower facilities due to shower in my trailer but checked them out due to negative review. Showers were very clean. Laundry facility was very clean, well above average. RV sites are much larger than average. I don't have children, but lots of areas for kids to run and enjoy whatever. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I spend 4 months a year in RV sites around the country for work. This rv resort is a little older, but sites are level, roomy and easy access to freeway. No wifi but who uses that these days and most rv sites wifi is so bad anyone who rv's a lot uses their own. Cell phone coverage was awesome and used 5g hot spot for internet. At $60 per night price was on the higher side compared to comparable sites.

Gave length of trailer, requesting a longer site was put bank on same site as the year before which was to short so we unable to hook up our sewer hose unless it was 25' long had to use different lot in morning so we could dump. As for amenities there is no cable or wifi. Plus the price is now $60 night. Will not be staying there again.

To the other reviewer, this place is old as dirt! It's come a long way from a place of complete ruin. Many projects worked on year to year. Yes, the contractor that brought the gravel in last year could have done a far better job. The pool has been a work in no progress for years. It's a nicely located place for us to come visit family, so we keep coming back. I kinda like where the dumpster is, don't hear them empty and don't smell it from the sites. I do wish we could get our picnic tables back!

Pros:
-Year round availability
-Right off I-69, 5 minutes to Auburn and 10-15 minutes to north Fort Wayne.

We stayed here for a year because there were no other options. Unfortunately the reviews on Yelp from several years ago are still relevant and this park hasn’t attempted to improve at all it seems. They have recently created several new sites, some that are 50amp, which is where we stayed, but there’s several problems so I’ll list:

-The new 50amp sites we stayed in are angled at such an awkward angle it is difficult to back in the camper, especially if all the other sites are full.

-The connection to dump your tanks at each site is raised, therefore making it very difficult for your tanks to be emptied. We even tried to build up our lines with boards, but having them flush with the ground like most campgrounds would’ve been nice.

-The electricity seems to be an issue. We spoke with other long term campers who had problems with their campers “over heating” despite having surge protectors on. When we left, I noticed a burnt spot on our brand new power cord that we bought just before we arrived and we had a surge protector on the entire time. We also moved 3 times to different spots and it wasn’t until the 3rd spot that our brand new hot water tank began to finally work (we kept thinking it was an issue with the tank, but could never figure out what was going on). After talking with people who moved into our previous spots and them having electricity issues, I assumed it’s something not related to our camper.

-The laundry room had a “sorry for the construction” note the entire time we were there, but nothing was ever done. It’s by far the worst laundry facility I’ve seen, most of the washers & dryers are not working, there’s holes in the ground covers by rugs (which I unknowingly stepped in and twisted my ankle!) and nothing seems to ever be clean or maintained. I recommend going to the laundry mat by Walmart in Auburn if you need to do laundry!

-The showers are pathetic. As mentioned above, our hot water tank didn’t work most of the time we were there, leaving us to have to take showers at the cabin. The weird thing is, you have to walk in and completely shut the door before the light turns on. Each shower room has 1990’s wood peg shelves that your bags slip off and wind up on the disgusting floor. Every shower stall had a jacked up shower head. We had 2 stalls that we would only use because they seemed to be “the best” option. There was mold growing on the walls & ceilings.

-The mail is left in the hallway for everyone and anyone to rummage through. We weren’t comfortable with that and had our most of our mail sent to a family members house, but for some reason my employer sent me something during tax season that had a lot of personal information and when I found it in the pile of mail, it had been opened. A place we stayed before had mailboxes you could rent for $5 a month and I feel like that would be much safer!!!! Especially since the office is rarely open it seems.

-The pool was never in service.

-The ground floods any time it rains.

-The sites are all gravel.

-There’s no real amenities that makes this place stand out. They raised the prices at the start of 2023 and have been adding new sites, but they need to do something to make this place more desirable to stay at if they want to have happier customers!

We had been at fireside camp ground for 5 months. We found it to be very nice. Heather in the office is AWESOME ,Mark in maintenance helped us so many time's. So appreciate the kindness and support they gave us . We highly recommend this spot. We weren't blessed to have their help.
