Shipshewana Campground South from the air

Shipshewana is in Indiana not far from Elkhart. We are here for a couple of days and I had a chance to send my GoPro camera up on my QuadCopter to take some photos. I will add a couple more shortly.

  • Is your photo of the Shipshewana South C.G. or the one beside the flea market.
    People get the 2 confused - they are about l/2 mile a part on the same road. It looks more like the one down the street from the flea market to me. If you look carefully at the photo I think you can make out the flea market c.g. at the top.

    Cool pictures - it is lovely there this time of year. We just got back 3 days ago. The flea market c.g. was full the 2 nights we stayed there.
  • Thanks for the post. That is exactly the kind of CG we look for when on the road and needing an overnight stop. I do RC helos and you have a very cool set-up there!
  • Thanks for the photos,nice. Can you show the quadcopter? I will look maybe its in one of your previous posts.Just found some photos of it.Looks like fun.

    I did not post this as a warning! This is actually a very nice campground for people that need/want to be here for what ever reason. Our reason is that we are having work done on our RV from a couple of different vendors that happen to have facilities nearby.

    X2, have stayed there several times and very nice campground.
  • Here are a couple more from the area.

  • Fun to see this, since DH has gotten into quadcopters lately (virtually, at least - just online so far). :) Nice sunset shot too.
  • robsouth, you've gotta remember, this is Shipsshewana, Indiana. This campground is right beside one of the largest Amish flee markets, Amish auction houses, and Amish style foods and eats, I think, anywhere! The campground is designed for sleeping only, not camping. The attraction is the flea market at Shipshewana. If you have an RV, you'll be glad to get a spot parked there. It's bad enough finding a parking spot with just a normal car.

    For the OP, I thin your photo is pretty cool! As many times as I've been there, we've never stayed at the campground. We have stayed a couple nights in the motel right there. FYI, Sunday it's completely dead there! And in Shipshewana, the side walks roll up at 5:00 pm, so we learned the hard way .... many many years ago!
