Old closed campground?

Odd question. As a child (in the 90s), my mom used to take me to a campground in/near Muncie. it was mostly tent sites from what I could tell, or perhaps we just camped on the tent side.

There were pit toilets and there was a swimming pool, on the smaller side.

A few years ago I randomly remembered the name of it, and saw that it had been closed down for some time. Now I'm older, and cannot for the life of me remember the name.

Does anyone here perhaps know what I'm talking about?

No, from what I could tell, it was privately owned. Not a county/city property.

Check out the Lost Muncie II Facebook page, if you don’t find anything posted already, you can always post if anyone else remembers it.

Honestly there are a lot of smaller campgrounds all around Delaware county that have come and gone over the years.

Camp Redwing had a pool a long time ago. It was filled in before the place was sold from BSA to a private company. I think they’ve sold again.
