Sleepybear Campground

We stayed for the MGK concert. The staff was incredible at the campground. Specifically, Ed made the experience feel special. We will absolutely for sure be coming back for a concert in the future at Ruoff and will stay at sleepybear. Love love love it!!

I agree with every positive review on this site about Sleepybear, Whatever they ask you to pay, please just pay it. Don't haggle, don't try to get into the place for free. His price is more than fair, it's actually a tremendous value. You walk across the street to sleep after a great show. Pete is a family man and an OG of Fishers and Geist. We should all be proud to have him and his family as members of our community. Pete was out on Geist before the first house was ever built. You couldn't get anywhere close to Fall Creek Bridge. Tree stumps and sandbars because it is a man made reservoir, not a lake! It was originally designed for Indy people to get water. Buy the merch and support a true Naptown legend.

Great little campground. We planned on camping in Anderson at Mounds state park but they were full, so we came here at the last minute and had a great time.

This place is the vibe! Could not have had more fun with easier access to the show. It took me roughly 13 hours to commute my way out, worth ever second. Deer creek and sleepy bear were the jam!

It's a no glitz, super chill, pack it in and family up with neighbors kinda love you get at the best of places. NO HASSLES!

First time I came here was 4 or 5 years ago. This is a fun place to hang out and camp and whatever.

I have known Pete since I started coming out here. He is a super nice guy. Obviously the negative reviews have on this place are done by some drunken fool of some sort that was not behaving.

Highly recommend this place and Pete.

Two thumbs up and a snap!

The owner Pete and his friendly staff couldn't of been nicer, even during a popup monsoon indiana rain storm. They had everything you'll need including ice, coffee and hot showers. What a great place to camp at for a show, we'll be back.

What a super fun place to go to before and after a concert. I love that you can just walk to Kliptsch.

We have stayed here many times. It's a great value too, inexpensive for what you get.

The staff is very friendly and the bistro was just what I wanted after the concerts.

They get a bonfire going that is super fun, lots of people just chillin' out.

We will definitely be back even more often this year...WOO HOO !!!

I'm not even going to use my real name here because Pete scared us so bad. We are from out of town and don't know the area. Desperately trying to get an uber ride back to our campground, we somehow wound up on Sleepybear campground asking for help. Pete at first demanded $50 and told us Uber doesn't come to his campground. We had almost no cash on us and felt like this was extortion. I just wanted to call a cab or walk out of there, but this Pete guy (who seemed high out of his mind) kept trying to scare us about walking and getting a cab or uber. Then, finally, he tells us if we give him an excellent yelp review he can get one of his guys to drive us for $15. As this all took forever and we were tired we relented and let this very nice guy drive us. The driver felt so bad he didn't even want to take the money, but since Pete knew where we were staying, we demanded he take it so we wouldn't get chased down. I think this place is run by a very crooked, drugged up man and feel terrible for how he treats anyone.

Love parking for concerts. For $20 it saves lots of aggravation of being patient in the long lines coming out of the amphitheater.

Favorite place to stay for shows at Deer Creek. My wife and I have stayed here for concerts twice after previously staying at one of the other nearby campgrounds. Sleepy Bar is where it's at! Awesome spot, super close to the venue. Nice staff, beautiful property. Can't wait to visit again!
