S&H Campground

Ok "camp" ground. Not many campers mostly residents and seasonal people. The staff is very nice. The grounds have a nice playground for children. Gravel spots, minimal trees, tight spots, and lot of seasonal/permanent residents doesn't give you a camping feel. I don't anticipate coming back but recommend giving it a try and see what you think. The campground has places to eat and two convenient stores.

It was a last minute decison to visit the area. Thought we would stay at S&H. (read the description in Good Sam 2017 edition) tho the're not affiliated with them any more. It sounded ok. Big Rig Friendly. Our site was up a steep rutted dirt road. That was scary. Sites are tight. Lots of live-ins, and it's run-down. Their brochure says the've been in business since 1968. Maybe, what they should do is spend some money to clean up the park, instead of spending it on the pamphlet at registration. Next time I'll be sure to checkout other sites in the surrounding area. Lesson learned.

This place wasn't a bad place as we only stayed one night. The person at the desk was super nice and very helpful. I can't comment on anything else as we got there about 7pm and left around 7am. There are a bunch of people that live there and we only saw a few people camping. We had no complaints - if we were passing through again we would stay there.

Jordan repaired our stuck slide out quickly. He was on time and did a great job. Very reasonable for mobile repair.

We got the chance to stay here 5 times over the summer. Two of those weekends were during holiday crowds, 4th of July and Labor day. This place was absolutely amazing. The decorations was so beautiful and the events for the holidays was stellar. The fireworks for both holidays was so good for a campground. Better than most cities. All the staff that we encountered was so lovely and helpful. My little one loved the pool, playgrounds, foam pit, putt putt and bounce houses. Food was great between the market place and ice cream shop. Would suggest this to friends and family all day.

We rented a spot for a month because my husband was traveling for work. He was told by his union to go to Indianapolis. Once we got here he was told by the job we needed to be in Kokomo. We asked the owner due to circumstances could we pay him double the daily rate for his trouble. We said we can vacate the spot the same day if it's an issue.He said at that time, yes he was more than willing to work with us. He understood it was something out of our control.He encouraged us to stay for a couple of days to make sure we got our site in Kokomo since it was a busy season.We checked in 6/10/24 and checked out 6/12/24. The day we left he said he got our file and he would call us that evening.We didn't hear from him so my husband called 6/14/24. He said someone would look at the file Monday 6/17/24 and get back to us. He didn't call back. My husband called today 6/18/24 and asked if anyone looked at our file and he said someone has the file on their desk and they would call us back. My husband asked if they would actually call back. The owner said at this time for the first time, they don't have to give any refunds since they gave a no refund policy. My husband asked about the refundable electric deposit. The owner said he'd get to it when they get to it.I feel like he knew he had no intentions of giving us a refund.If he would've been a forthcoming about his intent, and said that from the beginning he wouldn't give a refund, we would've made the decision to stay in the spot we paid for, and just had my husband drive the hour and ten minutes back and forth for work. He strung us along instead, and we paid this owner $970 for 2 nights. We also paid a $50 deposit on electric. We didn't use $50 worth in 2 days.I'm so beside myself. My husband is a disabled veteran who hasn't worked since December due to the lack of construction jobs where we live. We FINALLY land a travel job here in Indiana only to get taken advantage of by this place.I would avoid this place at all cost. I read some reviews about the owner and we didn't believe what we read based on our conversation with him. Turns out they were true. He's unethically and he will lie to your face then tell you a different story over the phone.He is a thief. He lied about giving us a refund so we would leave our paid for spot. He shouldn't have said he would work with us then go back on his word. We would've just stayed in the spot what we paid for.

When I booked the site I was told I was to put down a deposit of a week and the electric deposit of $150. Shortly afterwards I received a notification saying I was charged for the FULL amount not a deposit. After speaking with the customer service the man said "I have it in my notes." After arriving the property looked like a mud hole even the "pad" was supposed be gravel but was submerged in water. I guess I should have known to bring waders to set up my campsite. The "grass" isn't grass it's weeds. They advertise "Clean bathrooms" but the toilet seats at hanging from one bolt, I wouldn't take a shower WITH shoes on meaning the shower doesn't look like it's been cleaned for who knows how long. Not to mention I get more water pressure out of a cup of water. It talks about noise aka Quiet time is 8am to 10 pm but they allow vehicles with loud exhaust pipes to wake you up at 3 in the morning. The campground looks like a run down amusement park that has been abandoned and converted to a mobile home park junkyard with a bunch of old campers and trailers.

PIPELINERS WORK TOO HARD TO STAY HERE. Let me keep it to the key points of why we left. 1. We paid $1200 a month while the person around the corner paid $3700 a year. 2. The water is so heavy in metallic deposits that it's almost nasty to shower in daily. (Women, it will ruin your hair, especially colored hair.) And we ran multiple filters. 3. If you work 10-12 hr days, sleep is kind of a needed thing, placing multiple workers on a main road where traffic runs constantly , while other spots are available days enough. We also asked to be moved. 4. There is a never a quite moment and you get to mix with camping folk. While generally great, we had more than 1 unpleasant encounter. 5. Water front property. We have a Bulldog. There wasn't even a proper spot for him to sit outside, especially when it rained. There was also a water/sewer leak, again that was reported, but never addressed. 6. When you get so big, you tend to lose control of things and that seems to be what is happening here. When a community talks ill of a business, and I mean multiple people in the community, it holds volume and says plenty, we won't ever stay here again and word of mouth goes a long, long way. I hope this saves someone else from what we and soMany other workers encountered.ALSO PLEASE REVIEW YOUR FINAL BILL. THEY TRIED TO CHARGE US IN EXCESS OF $150 and we owed $50.

DO NOT, REPEAT, DO NOT --- EVER --- do business with this family or stay at S&H Campgrounds. This "man" JAY promises you the moon when you first call with anticipation of a great experience in his "family-friendly" facility. Once you're "hooked" it's like pulling teeth getting him to answer calls about problems. He clearly was always avoiding issues HE caused. The only way I consistently got him to answer his phone was to first press #67 to block my number, then always "press 1 for reservations." He answered every time, the all-about-money; nothing about customer service "salesman". When we had our seasonal site, we hadn't even used our upgraded hardbody RV with slide-outs when a huge tree limb broke off a tree and went straight through our brand-new roof. Had to take it to dealership for electrical/lighting, etc. repairs. His response: "We're not responsible for acts of God." I told him all of his trees were DEAD! He didn't care. This guy got in my husband's face our last season, and told him, "All you've done since you've been here is b*tch!" Well, yeah, because that's the only reason we ever needed to talk to him --- PROBLEMS (unkept promises, refunds, double charging, thievery of our belongings, etc.) AVOID THIS BUSINESS AT ALL COSTS --- AND YOU WILL PAY!!!

If you are looking for a campground please go somewhere else.Even though they are marketed as a family friendly campground, it couldn't be further from it. We are a family of 5 that travel for work so we stayed for 2 1/2 months. During that time the police were on the property weekly if not daily for one reason or another. One incident there was a fight being handled by law enforcement which involved 6 police vehicles full of officers, needless to say this was the first time my children were rushed inside to avoid being around criminal activity. The second incident was the U.S. Marshals Service showing up to bring a suspect in while were trying to enjoy our day at the playground no more than 30 feet away. Not only did 2-3 law enforcement vehicles arrive but they had megaphones, sirens, and bulletproof vests. Not scary at all for 3 small children. So, again my children were rushed inside to avoid criminal activity. Rules were not enforced at all, quiet hours were a joke. All hours of the night there would be anything from fireworks to intoxicated people yelling. Brought this to the attention of the staff and the issue was never addressed. After the second big incident with law enforcement on the property we were finally able to find another campground to relocate. Trust me we were actively trying to find another campground after the first month but trying to find a campsite in summer is difficult as they fill up fast. When the law enforcement activity was brought to the attention of the OWNER, we were reassured that this was the SAFEST campground. We were completely talked down to and belittled by the owner himself. Once we we're finally able to secure a new location, we were told that we would receive a prorated amount back, that never happened. We called daily for two weeks until they started ignoring our phone calls. So the next step was filing a police report. We still never got our money back and probably never will. Hope this helps someone make the decision not to stay here. I would like to note this post is not being negative towards law enforcement in anyway as they were just doing their job. This is directly related to how this business is ran. Do Better!
