As the holiday season approaches and the weather starts to cool off, it's easy to start reminiscing about summertime fun–especially when you're searching for the perfect gifts for your family. With so many stores promoting their top products for gifts, you want to make sure you're gifting something unique that will last...and what better present for the family than a trip to the best campground near Michigan City? See why a trip to Jellystone Park™ Barton Lake is the perfect gift for the holidays this season!
Benefits of Experience Gifts
It's exciting to get a gift, open it, and immediately use the product, but that instant gratification might not last very long. Rather than buying something they'll grow out of (or maybe lose!), consider the gift of experience for lasting memories!
Experience gifts are a great way to make a present feel special upon opening it and last throughout the next few months while everyone eagerly anticipates the trip. Another reason to choose an experience gift is that it benefits the whole family! Not only are the kids taken care of, but the parents get a special gift to look forward to as well! Plus, after your camping trip, everyone will have those special family memories to last a lifetime–talk about a priceless gift!
Water Attractions
If you're planning on buying experience gifts for the kids, the perfect destination is right under your nose! Jellystone Park™ Barton Lake has a variety of splash-tastic water attractions to cool off during the hot summer days, making us the best campground in Indiana with a water park. Guests can spend all day at the Water Zone running around the interactive playground, zooming down the slides, shooting the water blasters, or getting soaked under the hydrostorm bucket. For more leisurely water fun, cruise around Barton Lake in a paddle boat, kayak, paddle board, or even a row boat! Choosing a campground with a pool and water attractions will have your kids thanking you nonstop!
Family Activities
Although our Indiana campground has awesome water attractions, the fun doesn't end there! The gift of experience will keep on giving with 15+ additional attractions included in your stay. Putt putt your way into victory at our 18-hole mini golf course. Split the whole family up into teams and compete on one of the sports courts. Grab the kids and soar high on the jumping pillow. Aside from attraction, we have events and activities like kickball, relay races, and tie-dye planned to enhance your stay even more. When a day full of playing is coming to an end, head to your site and sit around the campfire with your family and friends. Whichever one of our attractions you choose to keep you busy, you're sure to have a jam-packed trip with lots of fun for all ages!
