WE WILL BE COMING IN ON THE 4TH OF SEPTEMBER. WHO IS THE BEST PERSON TO CONTACT ABOUT GETTING A SPOT AT THE FAIRGROUNDS TO SET UP UNTIL THE EARLY ARRIVAL DATE BECOMES OPEN?
THANKS,

Michael and Suzanne,

There is a Grand Design rally right before our rally so the fairgrounds will not have any openings until our first early arrival date of Sept 8. There are several other campgrounds in the area. Our personal favorite is Shipshewana South and there is a new campground that looks awesome but I haven’t been there yet, North Trace RV Resort.

Looking forward to seeing you at the rally!

Lynn

If looking for another campground in the area to tide you over, there is Potato Creek State Park, a bit South and West of South Bend, Indiana. From the Park to Elkhart it's a 41 minute drive or 30 miles.

We've been to Potato Creek State Park several times. It is a state park in Indiana, which means you'll have an electric site with water from a shared spigot (so fill your fresh water tank), and a dump station (so bring your handy-dandy sewer hose ... or a tote).

This will put you in close proximity to Elkhart, and less than an hour drive (secondary roads) when it comes time for the event early arrival time.

Good luck!
