West Lafayette Indiana RV Parks

Does anyone know about any good parks in the area? We will need a place close to Purdue for the summer.

Thanks.
  • Not sure I want to move every 14 days. Hope there is a better option. Are state parks even open this time of year?
  • Prophetstown sp will probably be your best bet, about 15 minutes from campus. If you need fhu, make your reservations asap. Yes, you'll have a limit on the days you can stay. There are a couple of private parks in the area, but I don't know anything about them.
  • Purdue is pretty much surrounded by corn and soybean fields.
    I was in Forestry school there, and sometimes they'd have to put us on busses and drive for a while to get us to a wooded area to learn our trees!
  • Unless things have changed in recent years, there's not much there. Prophetstown SP is not far from town and decent, but I'm sure you'd be limited to at most a 14-night stay.
