Jellystone Park™ Barton Lake

Freemont, Indiana

328 RV Sites, 65 Cabins, 26 Tent Sites, 21 Cottages, 1 Lodge

Jellystone Park Barton Lake in Fremont, Indiana, offers 328 full-hookup RV sites, 87 cabin, cottage, and lodge units, and 26 tent sites on a lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 42 feet. Lakefront standard, buddy, and buddy trio categories join preferred tiers, alongside a water park, indoor and outdoor pools, splash pad, and laser tag. Three hundred twenty-eight sites span lakefront standard back-in 30-amp, lakefront standard back-in, lakefront standard buddy, lakefront standard buddy trio, and preferred categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 42 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. The buddy trio category is unusual — three rigs traveling together, side by side. Note the 42-foot cap. Eighty-seven cabins, cottages, and lodges and 26 tent sites round out the lodging. A laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side. A daily resort fee covers mini-golf, the playground, and the wider amenity program. A water park, splash pad, and both indoor and outdoor pools anchor the recreation, with a beach, boat ramp, boat docks, boat rentals, and kayak rentals opening the lake for boating, paddle boats, paddle boarding, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. Mini-golf, laser tag, an arcade, jumping pillow, gem mining, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, a craft room, recreation center, golf cart rentals, playground, pavilion, on-site dining, and a snack bar fill the rest. Steuben County calls itself the Land of 101 Lakes. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.
