Campground Overview

About Prophetstown State Park Campground

Prophetstown State Park Campground offers a unique prairie camping experience where the echoes of Native American history blend with modern comforts. This well-maintained campground boasts spacious sites, impeccable facilities, and an array of outdoor activities that appeal to both nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

Set on the outskirts of West Lafayette, Indiana, the campground provides a tranquil retreat with easy access to urban amenities. The expansive prairie landscape, dotted with wetlands and traversed by scenic trails, creates an immersive natural setting. Campers can explore the park's diverse ecosystems, from tallgrass prairies to lush riparian zones along the Wabash and Tippecanoe Rivers.

The campground features two distinct loops: the Spruce Loop with full hookup sites and the Savanna Loop offering electric-only options. Both areas provide level, gravel pads suitable for RVs and tents. Clean, modern restrooms and hot showers enhance the camping experience. A notable highlight is the aquatic center, complete with water slides and a lazy river, offering refreshing entertainment during summer months.

For those interested in local history, the on-site Farm at Prophetstown presents a living history experience, showcasing early 20th-century Midwestern farm life. Hiking and biking trails wind through the park, providing opportunities to observe native wildlife and prairie flora. The nearby Tippecanoe Battlefield Park, just a short drive away, further enriches the area's historical significance.
