Nimisila Reservoir Metro Park Campground offers 29 sites in Green, with 6 sites providing electric hookups while the remaining sites are non-electric. The campground sits along an 800-acre reservoir, creating opportunities for kayaking and fishing, but lacks running water facilities. Winter camping remains available with reduced occupancy, making it one of the few year-round options in the area.
What to do
Kayaking at Nimisila Reservoir: The shallow waters and lengthy shoreline create ideal conditions for paddlers. "The reservoir itself was nice to look at but fairly weedy at the launch area. People were kayaking for sure," notes one visitor to Nimisila Reservoir Metro Park Campground. Gas motors are prohibited, making this a peaceful paddling destination.
Explore Amish Country: Located within driving distance of Green, Berlin offers authentic Amish experiences. "The campground is right in the middle of Amish Country so there's plenty of beautiful scenery, lots of shopping, wonderful roadside produce and cheese stands and other tourist hotspots so you won't be bored," shares a camper who stayed at Evergreen Park RV Resort.
Fishing opportunities: Multiple reservoirs and lakes near Green provide fishing access. "My wife and I spent the July 4 weekend here this year and loved our experience," writes a visitor to Berlin RV Park & Campground, noting the proximity to local attractions. At Nimisila, shore fishing is available but described as "just iffy" by experienced anglers.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Bathroom cleanliness varies significantly between campgrounds. "SPOTLESS bathrooms and I mean SPOTLESS. Lots to do for kids: Sand Volleyball, basketball court, tetherball, corn hole area and playground," reports a camper at Berlin RV Park. Another visitor notes, "The bathrooms, showers and laundry areas were very clean. There also was not an issue with biting insects."
Spacious campsites: Site dimensions differ across the region. "We were surrounded by pine trees along the banks of a 800-acre reservoir. Lots of birdwatching and relaxing," shares a visitor to Countryside Campground. At Nimisila, "The sights on the outer rim of the loop (often, the even numbered sites) tend to be the better sites."
Indoor amenities for extended seasons: Some parks offer all-weather facilities. "The indoor pool is great for enjoying a swim even in January and the bathrooms and showers are spotless and very private," writes a visitor to Evergreen Park RV Resort. These facilities allow for comfortable camping beyond summer months.
What you should know
Water access limitations: Several campgrounds near Green lack full water amenities. "NO WATER. Please do not make the mistake I did. There is no running water here. No showers, nothing to wash with or drink. You must bring in your water and bath when you get home," warns a Nimisila camper. Plan accordingly by bringing sufficient water supplies.
Noise considerations: Sound levels vary by location and timing. "There are no rules, apparently, and the locals know it is their backyard party place," reports one Nimisila visitor, while another advises: "If you camp anywhere along the East bog in the summer - BRING EARPLUGS or the bullfrogs will NOT let you sleep."
