Campground near Elkhart

[aatauses]

Hi everyone,
We will be in Elkhart, IN to have some work done on the RV the middle of April. Does anyone have any RV parks they would recommend in the area? Also, any local motels in case it takes longer than expected??
thanks

http://www.elkhartcampground.com/ is the closest park to the Factory. We also used a motel nearby but I'll have to dearch on that one. I think it was the Red Roof. They allow pets and there may be a discount if you mention Heartland working on the rig.

We have stayed at the Red Roof and the Jamison. The Jamison is much nicer and has a free breakfast. Both allow pets and both are within walking distance of restaurants. The Jamison gave us a Heartland discount the Red Roof did not.

We've stayed at the Elkhart Campground several times when visiting Elkhart. We've also stayed at the Red Roof Inn and the Jameson and prefer it also. The breakfast isn't the best we've had, but its FREE!

We stayed at the Fairgrounds when we were there as the campground wasn't open. (Feb- early Mar.) Very inexpensive and you eventually get used to the 1,000 trains that pass by. LOL We stayed over at the Jameson and they were extremely nice with a good rate. Fridge and microwave in the rooms too, which was nice. Lots of good restaurants around.

Be sure you check out the Old Bag Factory in Goshen, great crafts, beautiful furniture. There is also a great salvage place about 6 miles out on the Fairgrounds road. D&D I think? Amish family, looks like an old barn with a million doors and windows laying around it. Go inside and it's a treasure trove. I thnk Ray made 3 trips out there. Cabinet doors for $2, Lights that are in my catalogs for $49 ea, only $10 a pair. All new stuff.

We had a great time back there. Lots to see and do on the way there and back.

I never realized that Elkhart CG closed down. I thought it was open the entire year. Good to know.

We have stayed at the Elkhart campground in the winter but they only have electric during the winter as they shutdown the water. Oh I believe we did have sewer too. Just no water.
