Summer Beach Family Fun Zone: What to Expect at Caboose Lake
At Caboose Lake Campground, summer officially starts when the Summer Beach Family Fun Zone opens for the season (hint – its Memorial Day Weekend!). Families return year-after-year to soak up the sunshine, splash around in the lake, and make memories in one of Indiana’s most unique summer destinations. Whether you’re here for the weekend or a longer staycation, the Summer Beach Family Fun Zone is packed with excitement and built for all ages.
What Is the Summer Beach Family Fun Zone?
The Summer Beach Family Fun Zone is Caboose Lake’s signature waterfront attraction. Set along the edge of a scenic spring-fed lake, this beach zone features a giant inflatable water park, dunk tank, water wars, sandy shores perfect for castle building or lounging, and a designated swimming area. It’s designed for hours of active fun, but there’s also plenty of space to relax and unwind by the water.
