RV camping near Fort Wayne

·

The Hoosier State’s second largest city offers RV campers plenty of urban and outdoor adventures. Park your rig in town to easily explore the many museums of the Cultural District, take part in one of the many festivals at Headwaters Park, or water play along several rivers in town. For more expansive lakes, head out to Chain O’Lakes State Park, Potato Creek State Park, or Pokagon State Park. Further away, Indiana Dunes National Park and Indiana Dunes State Park lets you explore the rugged dunes, beaches, and wetland areas around Lake Michigan, or head across the border to Toledo and Sandusky for Lake Erie activities. Indiana State Parks offer a mix of mostly pet-friendly RV campsites with no hookups, electric hookups, and full hookups, and fairly limited amenities. You can find full hookups, pull-through sites for larger RVs, and amenities such as swimming pools, playgrounds, activities, laundry facilities, and wifi at many Fort Wayne RV parks.

Learn more about this land: Our location is also home to our fantasy destination, The Fun Farm. Not only is the scenery replete with natural beauty - the pond, the fields, the sledding hill, the nature trail through the forest - but also a setting to engage the imagination!   Additional services may be arranged on-site. For example, who would you like to have breakfast with? A superhero? A princess? Or perhaps a souvenir caricature of you and your group is in order to commemorate the experience? Maybe an experiential art, dance, drama or music lesson? Guided tours of the grounds can also be arranged to learn more about the history of the farm and it's originality. If you're interested in a "day trip" or even a limited event, we have the facilities to accommodate your birthday or holiday, engage in art Classes, raise funds for your good cause or enjoy "something different" for this year's corporate party. We're also open to your ideas for a custom school, festival or carnival event. We can accommodate groups from 1 to 400 (maybe more, if we send a few enchanted creatures on vacation!) MORE NOTES ABOUT THE CAMPSITE: We're flexible with wherever you would like to pitch your tent, but the spots we have established are next to our cabin (where the lighting is best and the ground is flattest.) Parking is most easily found next to these sites as well (and the lighting is also excellent.)  Also, in the near vicinity, a shared firepit is readily available and can accommodate at least 12 people. Check out the additional options (like firewood bundles) below and let us know how we can help you make great memories!

Bison Gazing at White Oaks Bison

🦬 5th Generation Bison Farm Our family represents the fifth generation on this land, and we are excited to be raising the national mammal—the American bison—on the rich grass pastures of Northern Indiana. We follow agricultural rotational grazing methods to ensure our land and animals thrive. We started our "hobby" herd in 2021 during the pandemic while searching for healthier food options. We knew bison was a superior source of protein, rich in both minerals and vitamins. Beyond being a healthy choice, bison are iconic symbols of American history and are truly majestic to observe here on the farm. Shortly after starting our herd, we began receiving calls from other Hoosier families who wanted to purchase our products. We are now proud to provide bison for families across the state and beyond! Over the years, we have enjoyed meeting visitors from all over Indiana, many other states, and thirteen different countries. We currently offer meat, skulls, and hides, as well as walking and wagon tours.
