From the three swimming pools to the 3,900-member Facebook community, here are the top five reasons Indian Acres members keep coming back — and why they never want to leave.
Ask any Indian Acres member why they love the campground, and you'll get a passionate answer. After 60+ years, the community has developed a culture and character that's genuinely hard to find anywhere else. Here are the top five reasons families keep coming back.
1. The Kids Have Complete Freedom
Indian Acres is a gated, private community. Kids can ride bikes to the pool, walk to the lake, and roam the property with the kind of freedom that's rare in today's world. Parents know the community, know the neighbors, and trust the environment. It's the childhood experience many parents remember — and want to give their own kids.
2. There's Always Something to Do
Three pools. Five lakes. Tennis. Mini golf. Fishing tournaments. Holiday events. Movie nights. The campground hosts activities throughout the 210-night season, and there's never a shortage of things to do. Families who camp every weekend rarely run out of new experiences.
3. The Community Is Like Family
The Indian Acres Facebook community group has nearly 3,900 members — and it's one of the most active campground communities online. Members share photos, organize events, help each other with lot improvements, and celebrate milestones together. Many families have been members for generations, and the bonds formed at Indian Acres last a lifetime.
4. It's Your Space — Personalized to You
Because you own your lot, you can make it your own. Many members have built decks, added screened porches, planted gardens, and created outdoor living spaces that feel like a second home. Your lot reflects your personality and grows with your family over time.
5. The Value Gets Better Every Year
As the cost of travel, hotels, and vacation rentals continues to rise, the value of owning a deeded campsite at Indian Acres becomes more compelling. Members who bought lots 10 or 20 years ago have seen their property values increase while their annual dues have remained relatively stable. It's an investment that pays dividends in both financial value and quality of life.
