Sleepybear Campground

What a super fun place to go to before and after a concert. I love that you can just walk to Kliptsch.We have stayed here many times. It's a great value too, inexpensive for what you get.The staff is very friendly and the bistro was just what I wanted after the concerts.They get a bonfire going that is super fun, lots of people just chillin' out. We will definitely be back even more often this year...WOO HOO !!!

Peter and crew take great care of the property. Showers are private but outdoor. Ground is clean and flat. Two trips here in two years, I would definitely make the trip from Western PA again. Good memories, good times!

We stayed for the MGK concert. The staff was incredible at the campground. Specifically, Ed made the experience feel special. We will absolutely for sure be coming back for a concert in the future at Ruoff and will stay at sleepybear. Love love love it!!

I agree with every positive review on this site about Sleepybear, Whatever they ask you to pay, please just pay it. Don't haggle, don't try to get into the place for free. His price is more than fair, it's actually a tremendous value. You walk across the street to sleep after a great show. Pete is a family man and an OG of Fishers and Geist. We should all be proud to have him and his family as members of our community. Pete was out on Geist before the first house was ever built. You couldn't get anywhere close to Fall Creek Bridge. Tree stumps and sandbars because it is a man made reservoir, not a lake! It was originally designed for Indy people to get water. Buy the merch and support a true Naptown legend.

Great little campground. We planned on camping in Anderson at Mounds state park but they were full, so we came here at the last minute and had a great time.

First time I came here was 4 or 5 years ago. This is a fun place to hang out and camp and whatever.I have known Pete since I started coming out here. He is a super nice guy. Obviously the negative reviews have on this place are done by some drunken fool of some sort that was not behaving. Highly recommend this place and Pete.Two thumbs up and a snap!

I went here with my boyfriend and a few friends to see rob zombie. the concert was great, the campground was an unforgettable experience. when the concert was over, they were selling food for only like 5 bucks which was awesome, but that's about the only positive thing i can say. my friends and I had set up camp before the concert, little did I know I had a creepy secret admirer watching me from across the camp. When we got back to the campground after the concert, we heard a man walking around screaming and asking "who wants cocaine? does anyone want coke?!" Okay. Weird. We all got our chairs together (me and my friends) ready to have a fun conversation about the concert, when suddenly a scraggly scrawny and gruff man approaches us and inquires who the goth chick was. He offers the goth chick in question a free Rob Zombie shirt in exchange for their identity. Me, being the only "goth chick" there, will do anything for free authentic merch. I made a mistake and slowly, unsurely, raised my hand to reveal myself. He laughed a smokey and wet laugh and said, "I saw you bending over while you were setting up your tent, and I just have to say, boy did you give me a show," or something along those lines to a freshly 18 year old girl. And they say chivalry is dead. Even more shocking, he walks away clapping at me and spends the rest of the night sitting outside watching us. Of course, we told the owner of the campsite about this. He gave me free merch (campground merch, not Rob Zombie,) and offered us beers. I declined after he told me how i was a "beautiful young woman" and how the guy probably didn't know how to give "compliments." I walked away, wondering if a situation in which I would sexually harass someone as a compliment. The next morning, I wish I had been pettier. I thought about peeing in a cup (seeing as how absolutely putrid the porta-potties were, i know they are not supposed to be clean but I mean Jesus, this was bad. The stench absolutely permeated the whole campsite,) and throwing said cup of pee at creepy man's tent. Unfortunately, I'm a rational human being so I decided we would just leave. Anyways, the cheap food was great after one of the most awesome concerts of my life. But I would not stay here again.

The only good thing to say about this place is the location. We arrived after a concert, the owners/staff were drunk and wanted us to park our RV on their front lawn instead of the camping area. For $175 I was not parking on the front lawn. They were annoyed that I would not park on the front lawn and marched us to the back camping area, which is basically a field. There were no activities, or amenities. We felt very uncomfortable and unsafe. Locked the camper up and put up the shades for the night, then the owner came over and knocked on the door. I did not want to open it, he was still drunk. I told him everything was fine so he would go away. Good luck to anyone staying here.

This is a wonderful campground, great location, clean facilities, friendly staff, 5/5 stars. if you're looking for a place to hangout before and after concerts this is the place to go. Sincerely, the guy in the beanbag chair.

This place is the vibe! Could not have had more fun with easier access to the show. It took me roughly 13 hours to commute my way out, worth ever second. Deer creek and sleepy bear were the jam! It's a no glitz, super chill, pack it in and family up with neighbors kinda love you get at the best of places. NO HASSLES!
