CUMMINS CAMPGROUND - CERAland


CERAland  - a Cummins Corporate Recreation Facility
Previously Private - now open to public

Several years ago we heard about an RV campground in Columbus, Indiana, which was originally established in 1963 to promote safe, high-quality facilities and programs to promote recreation and wellness for the Cummins corporate community.  Cummins is an American Fortune 500 Corporation, that designs, manufactures, and distributes diesel engines, and power generation products worldwide.

Originally the facilities were named the Cummins Employees Recreation Association (CERAland)  and was a private corporate facility.  The facilities are on 345 acres of beautiful park land with both indoor and outdoor recreational activities.

Aquatic facilities

Upon our arrival to CERAland we were amazingly surprised at all the facilities offered.  Our site was  close to an 11 acre stocked lake, fishing, paddle boats, row boats and canoes.  We stayed in one of the 324 sites in their campground that offered full service.  While we were at registration there were several vehicles arriving for baseball tournaments.
