  Build another camp ground more updated and better staff!! Its just so out dated and needs to be more year round sites!!! Up date everything really!!

  The staff is so very nice, but the campground itself is a seasonal campground with seasonal patrons claiming ownership of the campground and its sites. Pontoons, rv's with permanent wooden decks, a lot of cigarette smoke, and loud, profanity-laced campfire conversations that last well into the night. With children. One seasonal patron told us to change campsites because he kept his firewood on our site. We even witnessed two women in a drunken fistfight at 11am.

  nature wise this place is awesome for a day trip, nice place to fish, from shore or with a boat, friendly people at the marine , nice pontoons they have for rent A++++ from usthe toilets are awful dirty, 30 minutes later I was still gagging, even with garbage cans all over the place, trash can be found everywhere, from beer bottles to blankets.the security is rude, this lady needs another job or need a course of politeness!!!and $12 a night for a dry camp, I seen free campgrounds in much cleaner shape

  I went fishing with my cousin on his pontoon at the Reservoir and had a great time. The area is extremely well kept up and the water was very clean. Caught several fish and yes they were good.

  I love it out at the reservoir - but the camp ground is really just a bucn of RV's that pretty much stay there all summer - and the swimming area is the "pits". Best thing to do at the Reservoir is to ride around on your bike - and look at it. (Unless you have a pontoon boat??)

  Great place to fish and for camping it is really nice also. However, who in their right mind would build cabins without putting in bathrooms in them ? It would have been better to not have put in the cabins at all. I think the reservoir is a great place to go to for the day. And if you have a RV or even just a tent it is a great camping area. But those individuals who pay to stay in a cabin that has electricity, beds and even running water would assume there wold also be a place to relieve oneself at 1:00 AM without going outside to a public toilet. I believe the Tyler Administration really dropped the ball on this one. I will definitely camp out at the reservoir again. But I do not believe I will be trying out the cabins.

  I was here for the Muncie Triathlon. While it is a pretty lake, the "beach" seems as if it hasn't been touched in decades. The park was gross and dirty, gravel parking lot, and the facilities to use the restroom are boarded up and gated off. It's the middle of summer so I assume that the actual beach isn't even used by the public. Everyone had to use a porta potty. Looks like the beach building was shut down decades ago.

  We were fishing on our pontoon late in the evening. I heard from a lot of people before what in this lake they punished you for every little mistake, so we had everything that require on a pontoon, including fire extinguisher. Before we decided go home I put the cover on our bikini top and accidentally shake the lite on the top of bikini top.We start to drive pontoon to the shore with speed less then 1 mile per hour for less than 7 min. and was stop by police lake patrol.We fix the lite right away, but they give me ticket anyway.I am was not even aware that lite was somehow disconnected, because all other lite was on. We having a pontoon for first 2 months and they can just give me a warning.It is no reason to punished good people like that. All evening was spoiled.This is how this lake get bad reputation. Last time my husband forget lock our track and 2 things was stolen, nothing important but funny question : "Where was the police patrol?'" Be careful there.

  Prairie Creek Reservoir is located near Muncie Indiana. The park itself is great, and the new mayor has been making sure that the park is being mowed and kept up. The campground showers need a complete overhaul and are not private enoughfor todays standards and environment. Many of the camp sites lack any shade at all and numerous sites are way too close to one another. There is a bait and small grocery store nearby. Over the years, the erosion of locations for fishing from the bank areas has taken place in a huge way. This is not to say that you cant find a fishing spot but....you may have to search around awhile to locate a decent spot. Overall, its a fairly nice park. However, your fishing opportunities are limited if you dont own a boat.

  I would rate this place higher on the scale of lakes to visit were it not for it being so redneck. Mostly a pontoon and fishing lake as there is no power boating allowed. Definitely don't want to camp there unless you like the Stars and Bars.
