Prophetstown State Park, West Lafayette, indiana

[SanCap]

This is a nice state park that has large sites, nice roads and clean rest rooms. About half the park is full hookups with 50 amp service, the other is 30/50 amp with no other hookups. There are paved bike trails. Lafayette is a fun town with many nice restaurants. Here are a couple aerial photos.

I do have some more, only from the non full hookup area. Here is one, I will add some more shortly.

We love Prophetstown as well. We try to make it our last trip of the year in the FHU section so that we can give our tanks an extra flush. We love the tall grass prairie that is so different than the deciduous forests of most of the rest of the State parks in Indiana. For those that like wine the Wildcat Winery nearby is an excellent winery. We will not get to see the new water park in action but at least we will visit it. According to a campground host last year there are plans to build an additional campground and mountain bike trails (or prairie trails???). This year we will add geocaching to our lists of things done at the park.

Jim, Yes, it was a bit of a soggy weekend, to say the least. I always feel for those reenactors at the Feast who are spending the weekend in their tents when rains like that occur. I do recall your having posted previously about your RC helicopter. Looks like you're doing well with it; those pictures are great! Seems like an interesting hobby.

Yes we just left there this morning 10/7/13, we arrived Friday afternoon the 5th. The wind was a bit harsh for flying my copter so I didn't get to fly everywhere I wanted. We drove past the Feast of the Hunters Saturday afternoon and it looked very muddy!

Were you in the full hook up section or the electricity only section? I may have taken a photo of your RV from the air, I only have photos of the electric only sites.

Thanks for the info. Poverty Point State Park Louisiana is another beautiful park with full hookups.

Another nice facility is Ross Camp. It is a county facility in W Lafayette. Paved roads, dump, water & electric. Bath/shower house with hot showers. $14.50 per night last time we were there.
