Crooked Creek Campground near Chapman Lake Indiana changed my life and was an inspiration for who I have became as an adult, a wife, and a mother. I still love the water. After my first two children were born we continued to camp at my parent's site at Crooked Creek Campground. In 1997, my parent's moved to Phoenix, Arizona to live. They put up the trailer and camp site to sale. I have many good memories and still was able to get married later in the year. Now I have been married for almost 26 years and my family lives in a gated housing development along a lake. To find out more about this summer water adventure. You truly need to read the hub about Chapman Lake. Keep Reading
