Campgrounds near Howe, Indiana
Howe sits in LaGrange County in northeast Indiana, on State Road 120 just south of the Indiana Toll Road (I-80/I-90). The town works as a practical base for RV travelers exploring the state's Amish country, with Shipshewana about seven miles west and the Michigan state line just to the north.
The closest full-service park is Twin Mills Camping Resort, a large family resort on West State Road 120 with full hookups and resort amenities. A short drive west brings RVers into Shipshewana, where Shipshewana Trading Place RV Park sits on the flea market grounds and Shipshewana Campground-North and Shipshewana Campground-South cluster nearby. Green Valley Campground rounds out the nearby options.
Most area parks are privately owned RV resorts rather than public land, so amenities lean toward pools, laundry, cabins, and organized recreation. Sites range from pull-through big-rig spots with 50-amp service to shaded back-in sites suited to smaller trailers.
Things to do near Howe
The Shipshewana Flea Market is the anchor attraction and runs Tuesdays and Wednesdays from May through September, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with more than 600 vendor spaces across roughly 40 acres. The Shipshewana Antique and Miscellaneous Auction runs every Wednesday year-round on the same grounds.
Beyond the market, visitors head to the Menno-Hof learning center, the Hudson auto museum, and the many Amish woodworking, cabinet, and buggy shops around town. Twin Mills Camping Resort keeps kids busy on-site with recreation facilities, a swimming pool, and lake activities.
Golfers have several courses within a short drive, and Pigeon River Fish and Wildlife Area to the east offers fishing, paddling, and hiking on public land.

The camping season around Howe is firmly warm-weather. Shipshewana Campground-North operates roughly April 1 through October 31, and Twin Mills Camping Resort typically runs from mid-April to about the start of November. Shipshewana Trading Place RV Park opens reservations February 1 and closes them around mid-October each season.
Peak demand lines up with flea market days from May through September. Tuesdays and Wednesdays fill first, and holiday weekends around Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day book out well in advance because the market runs extended markets on those dates. Themed summer weekend markets in June, July, and August also drive spikes.
Spring brings mud and variable temperatures, while late September and early October offer cooler nights, fall color, and quieter sites before parks close for the season. Winter camping is limited: most private parks in the area shut down, and snowfall averages roughly two feet or more per year.

RV was clean and in very good condition. Melissa was easy to work with. Really liked the three bunk beds for the kids and outdoor kitchen.

We used the camper for our local fair and it was exactly what we needed. We can't thank you enough.

I was blown away by Matt's knowledge, accessibility, adaptability, and kindness throughout the process. This was my first ever RV rental so I needed to learn the nuances from scratch and he provided my wife and I great comfort on our short getaway for our 25th wedding anniversary - a gift to ourselves. The RV itself drove so nicely, expanded to provide incredible space for us, our 20 y/o daughter and pup.
Tony H. - Oct 2026
Matthew was great to work with. Very knowledgeable about his RV. Responsive when contacted during our reservation. Highly recommend renting from Matthew.

How to book near Howe
All five nearby parks are privately operated and take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. There is no single state or federal reservation system covering these campgrounds, so booking site by site is normal.
Twin Mills Camping Resort is part of the Thousand Trails and Encore RV Resorts network and accepts reservations online. Shipshewana Trading Place RV Park opens online and phone reservations on February 1 each year and applies a 14-day cancellation window with a small cancellation fee for a full refund.
For flea market weeks and holiday weekends, plan to book eight to twelve weeks out at minimum. Rally groups should contact Shipshewana Campground-South directly, since that park markets itself as a rally headquarters and can block large pull-through sites together.
What to expect around Howe
This is Amish country, so expect to share two-lane roads with horse-and-buggy traffic, especially on the routes between Howe, Shipshewana, and Middlebury. Slow down on hills and blind curves, and give buggies wide clearance when passing in an RV.
Sites at the larger parks are generally level with full hookups and 30/50-amp service. Twin Mills has a wooded property with paved but sometimes narrow interior roads. Shipshewana Campground-North offers rental cabins alongside RV sites for renters without a rig, and Shipshewana Campground-South has more than 150 sites with water, sewer, and 50-amp electric.
Cell coverage is generally reliable on major carriers. Many Amish-owned shops and restaurants in the area are closed on Sundays, so plan grocery runs and dining accordingly.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Howe, IN
Do I need a special driver's license to drive an RV around Howe, Indiana?
Great news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Howe. Indiana does not require any special endorsement or commercial driver's license (CDL) for personal-use motorhomes under 26,000 pounds, which covers virtually every RV on RVezy, including Class A, Class B campervans, Class C motorhomes, travel trailers, and fifth wheels. You'll need to be 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy verifies your ID right inside the platform. Visiting from abroad? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your local auto association before you fly in, usually under $20, and you're ready to roll into LaGrange County's Amish backroads.
in.gov/bmv/licenses-permits-ids/commercial-drivers-license-overview/How much does an RV rental in Howe, IN typically cost?
RV rentals in Howe are among the most affordable in the Midwest. Travel trailers typically start around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes run about $175 to $275 per night, and larger Class A coaches range from roughly $250 to $400 per night. Because hosts set their own pricing on RVezy, you will find genuine range and frequent weeknight discounts, especially outside the busy Shipshewana Flea Market season from May through September. For a cheap RV rental in Howe, try shoulder-season dates in April, early May, or October, and filter by travel trailers, which often deliver the best value for families. Browse current listings and live pricing directly on RVezy to compare options before you book.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Howe%2C%20IndianaWhat is included in RVezy's protection package when I rent an RV in Howe?
You can book with confidence: every RV rental in Howe, IN includes an RVezy renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance. The protection plan covers physical damage to the RV during your trip, so you do not need to arrange separate insurance. During checkout you choose the coverage tier that fits your comfort level, and your selection is locked in before you hit the road. Hosts do not pick your protection level, you do. That means whether you are parking at Twin Mills Camping Resort or paddling the Pigeon River, you are covered for both the small stuff and the surprises. Full details are available in the RVezy Help Center.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if my plans change? How does cancellation work?
Plans change, and RVezy is built for that. Every booking is backed by the standard RVezy cancellation policy (not set by the individual host), with a full money-back grace period right after you book so you can lock in a great RV in Howe without second-guessing. After that window, refund amounts depend on how far out you are from your trip start date. If a host cancels on you, RVezy refunds your booking or helps you rebook. Full details are on the RVezy Help Center, and our support team is one message away if your plans shift.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on an RV trip in Howe?
Absolutely, and Howe is a fantastic basecamp for dog owners. Many hosts on RVezy offer a pet-friendly RV rental in Howe, just click the Pet-Friendly filter when you search. Once you are here, your pup will love the trails at Pokagon State Park near Angola (about 30 minutes east), the shaded paths along the Pigeon River Fish & Wildlife Area, and walking the grounds around the Shipshewana Flea Market just 7 miles down State Road 120, where leashed pets are generally welcome outdoors if you bring cleanup supplies. Most LaGrange County campgrounds, including Twin Mills Camping Resort, allow dogs on leash. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and any size notes so your check-in is seamless.
in.gov/dnr/state-parks/parks-lakes/pokagon-state-park/Can the RV be delivered to my campground in Howe?
Yes, and it is one of the smartest ways to plan a first-time Howe RV trip. Many RVezy hosts offer RV delivery in Howe, meaning they will tow or drive the RV to your campsite, level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. That is a game-changer if you are booking a site at Twin Mills Camping Resort or Pokagon State Park near Angola and do not want to drive a 30-foot motorhome on your first try. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy to see which listings offer it, and message the host to confirm distance, setup fees, and pickup time. Many will even stock propane and freshwater so you can start camping the moment they leave.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Howe%2C%20IndianaHow many miles can I drive, and how far can I realistically go from Howe?
Howe sits in a sweet spot for road trips. Most RVezy hosts include a daily mileage allowance (typically 100 to 150 free miles per day) with the option to prepay for extra miles or unlimited mileage upfront. Some listings even offer an unlimited-mileage add-on, which is gold for a Howe RV road trip. From Howe you can easily reach Shipshewana (7 miles), Pokagon State Park in Angola (30 miles), the RV/MH Hall of Fame in Elkhart (35 miles), Notre Dame in South Bend (55 miles), Lake Michigan beaches at Warren Dunes State Park (75 miles), Chicago (about 140 miles), and Indianapolis (180 miles). Pro tip: ask your host about a flat-rate mileage package if you are planning a multi-state loop, it is usually cheaper than per-mile overage.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Howe%2C%20IndianaWhere are the best campgrounds near Howe, IN for RV camping?
You are spoiled for choice. The top pick right in town is Twin Mills Camping Resort on West State Road 120, a large wooded resort with full hookups, a pool, and lake access, open seasonally from spring through fall. About 30 minutes east, Pokagon State Park near Angola offers electric and non-electric sites along Lake James and Snow Lake, with a heated saddlebarn, beach, and trails. Trading Post Canoe & Kayak Rental in Mongo offers riverside camping on the Pigeon River and is a favorite for paddlers. For Amish Country shoppers, Shipshewana Campground South & Amish Log Cabin Lodging is minutes from the famous flea market. Reserve Pokagon through the Indiana DNR reservation system up to six months ahead, summer weekends book fast.
camp.in.gov/When is the best time of year to plan an RV trip from Howe?
Late May through mid-October is the sweet spot for RV camping in Howe, with daytime highs in the 70s to mid-80s F and comfortable overnight lows in the 50s and 60s. July and August are peak season (perfect for swimming at Lake James), while September and early October bring spectacular fall color along the Pigeon River and thinner crowds at the Shipshewana Flea Market. The flea market runs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from May through September, the single biggest draw in LaGrange County. Winters are genuinely cold (lows in the teens and 20s F with lake-effect snow), so if you are booking a winter RV trip, look for a four-season rig with heated tanks and confirm your campground has winter water service.
weather.gov/iwx/I have never driven an RV. Will I be okay starting in Howe?
Yes, and Howe is honestly one of the easiest places in the country for first time renting an RV. The roads around LaGrange County are flat, rural, and lightly trafficked, which is exactly what you want while you get comfortable. Every RVezy host gives a full walkthrough at pickup, showing you how to operate the slides, water, propane, generator, and waste systems, and you will have their number plus 24/7 roadside assistance through your protection plan for the whole trip. Watch for Amish horse-drawn buggies on county roads (slow down, pass wide), and the Indiana Toll Road (I-80/90) is just minutes north if you would rather stick to highways. Pro tip: pick a Class C motorhome or a small travel trailer for your first trip, they drive much like a large van.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I have a breakdown or issue on the road?
You are never on your own. Every RVezy rental in Howe, IN comes with 24/7 roadside assistance included with your protection plan, covering common issues like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing. If something goes wrong, one call gets help dispatched, and Elkhart, just 35 miles west, is the RV capital of America with more service centers and parts dealers than almost anywhere on Earth, so repairs happen fast. Your host is also a quick message away through the RVezy app, and our customer support team is on standby before, during, and after your trip. Translation: even if your campervan rental Howe adventure hits a hiccup, you will be back on the road quickly.
rvezy.com/insurance-and-protectionCan I take the RV across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, interstate travel is built into your booking. From Howe, IN, popular routes cross easily into Michigan (Sturgis is just 9 miles north), Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin without any extra paperwork. Many hosts allow Canada travel too (Niagara Falls or Toronto are popular Howe RV road trip routes), but you must confirm with the host before booking and bring a valid passport. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals because insurance coverage does not extend there. A favorite cross-state loop from Howe: head north to Michigan's Warren Dunes State Park on Lake Michigan (75 miles), then loop back through Notre Dame in South Bend. Message the host through the listing page to lock in your route.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel economy and gas budget should I plan for?
Good news for your wallet: Indiana consistently ranks among the more affordable states in the Midwest for gas, and Howe is well served by stations along US-20 and the Indiana Toll Road. Realistic fuel economy is about 18 to 22 mpg for a Class B campervan, 8 to 12 mpg for a Class C motorhome, 6 to 10 mpg for a Class A, and 10 to 15 mpg for a tow vehicle pulling a travel trailer. A 250-mile weekend loop in a Class C will typically run roughly $80 to $130 in fuel at current prices. Pro tip: check AAA's daily Indiana average before you fill up, and avoid weekend top-offs near toll road exits where stations often price up for travelers.
gasprices.aaa.com/?state=INHow far ahead should I book a campground near Howe?
For Pokagon State Park, book as early as possible: reservations open six months in advance through the Indiana DNR reservation system, and summer weekends, especially around the Fourth of July and Labor Day, sell out within hours. Twin Mills Camping Resort in Howe and Shipshewana-area parks generally need 2 to 3 months of lead time for peak May to September weekends, but you can often grab midweek sites with just a week or two of notice. Holiday weekends require a minimum stay (typically two or three nights) at Indiana state parks. Pro tip: if Pokagon is full, check Chain O' Lakes State Park in Albion (about 45 minutes south), it is a beautiful backup.
camp.in.gov/What are driving conditions like around Howe?
Driving an RV around Howe is refreshingly easy. The terrain is flat to gently rolling glacial moraine, county roads are wide and well-maintained, and the Indiana Toll Road (I-80/90) is just 5 minutes north for fast travel east or west. Two things to watch: first, you are deep in LaGrange County Amish Country, so you will regularly share roads with horse-drawn buggies, especially on Sundays and weekday mornings, slow down, give them plenty of room, and never honk. Second, winter brings genuine lake-effect snow from November through March, so plan winter trips around fresh forecasts from the National Weather Service. Indiana's legal RV width is 102 inches and standard maximum height is 13 feet 6 inches.
weather.gov/iwx/What hookups, dump stations, and water fills should I expect at campgrounds near Howe?
You will find excellent infrastructure across northern Indiana. Twin Mills Camping Resort offers full hookups (water, 30/50-amp electric, and sewer) at most sites, plus a camp store and dump station. Pokagon State Park has electric sites across multiple campgrounds (no sewer at sites, but a centralized dump station and water fill near the entrance), and Campground 3 stays open year-round with a heated comfort station. Many LaGrange County private parks include WiFi, laundry, and dump stations. Pro tip: top off freshwater before leaving the campground because rural Indiana does not have many public RV-friendly fill stations along the backroads.
in.gov/dnr/state-parks/parks-lakes/pokagon-state-park/What features and amenities will the RV itself have?
Most motorhome rental Howe listings come fully equipped for plug-and-play camping. Expect a real bed (queen or king in larger Class A and C units, plus convertible dinettes and bunks for kids), a kitchen with stove, microwave, fridge/freezer, sink, and basic cookware, a bathroom with toilet and shower, roof A/C, furnace, hot water heater, and seatbelted seating for everyone in your party. Many units include a TV, outdoor speakers, a generator or solar, and even outdoor kitchens on toy haulers. Cellular signal can be spotty around the Pigeon River, so plan to use your phone hotspot for connectivity. Each RVezy listing shows a full amenities checklist, so filter for what matters most (like sleeps 6 or generator) before you book.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Howe%2C%20IndianaWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
RVezy hosts in Howe often offer practical add-ons that make your trip easier: bedding and linen packages, kitchen kits, outdoor camping chairs and tables, bikes, generators, propane fills, and pet cleaning. Delivery and setup is one of the most popular add-ons (typically priced per mile each way), and many hosts will pre-stock water and propane for a small fee. Pickup is usually at the host's home or storage lot in or near Howe, with a 30 to 60 minute walkthrough included. Mileage policies vary: many listings include 100 to 150 free miles per day with overage typically around $0.30 to $0.45 per mile, and some hosts offer unlimited-mileage upgrades for longer trips. Pro tip: bundle delivery plus a linen kit and you can arrive at your campground with just a duffel bag.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Howe%2C%20IndianaHow does the security deposit and payment work?
Payment on RVezy is straightforward and secure: you pay through the platform with a credit or debit card when you book, so there is no awkward cash exchange at pickup. A refundable security deposit (amount varies by RV) is held on your card shortly before the trip and released after return, assuming no damage and the RV comes back in the condition it left. Hosts may also collect for prepaid mileage, generator hours, or propane refills at checkout. To avoid issues, do a thorough walkaround with photos at both pickup and drop-off, return fuel and propane to where they started, and dump the gray and black tanks before returning, this is the single most common cause of extra fees on any RV rental Indiana trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhere can I park an RV overnight around Howe besides campgrounds?
You have solid options. Many Walmart locations in the region (including Sturgis, MI just 9 miles north, and LaGrange, IN about 8 miles south) allow free overnight RV parking with manager approval, call ahead to confirm. Cracker Barrel locations along I-80/90 are another classic free overnight option when you ask the manager. For paid overnighting, Flying J and Pilot travel centers along the Indiana Toll Road exits offer dedicated RV spots. Indiana rest areas allow short rest stops but not overnight stays. State parks like Pokagon require a reserved campsite, no boondocking. If you want true peace and quiet, the Pigeon River Fish & Wildlife Area near Mongo is day-use only, but nearby private campgrounds offer riverside sites that book up fast in summer.
