The Johnny Appleseed Campground is located on U.S. 930 (Coliseum Blvd.) in Fort Wayne along the scenic St. Joseph River. It is only minutes from the Children's Zoo, Glenbrook Mall, Allen County Public Library, Indiana-Purdue University, restaurants, the Memorial Coliseum, Northside Pool, Rivergreenway trail  and the many other attractions Fort Wayne has to offer.

The Parks & Recreation Department will not allow campers to bring their own firewood to the Campground. This action is part of our efforts to prevent the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer.

Testimonials

This is a thank you for the Park Department to employ such wonderful camp hosts. It made our trip such a wonderful pleasure as they went the extra mile to ensure all of our needs were met. Ron & Margaret W.

My wife and I stayed at the Johnny Appleseed Campground for five days last month. Upon arrival we discovered that the electrical system for our coach was not operational. Through the aid of the manufacturer's technical support and the invaluable aid of your host, Stan, power was restored. We had two other problems during our stay and again Stan and his wife, Candy, were extremely helpful. This was our third stay at Johnny Appleseed and we will certainly be returning. Your beautiful camp ground and it's location are a valuable asset to Fort Wayne. The knowledge, efficiency and friendliness of the hosts enhanced the experience even more. My compliments to you and the Park Department for providing the overall package of Johnny Appleseed Campground and the hosts. Michael M./ Illinois

Camper News

The campground restrooms have been completely renovated and updated for our campers. Renovations included all new interior fixtures, shower facilities, and a new enlarged laundry area. Photos will be posted very soon on this new update.

In 2009 the campground was a buzz with people from Australia traveling cross country from New York to California via tractors! If you would like to follow their journey, check out: transworldtractortreks.com
