Indiana Beach, the popular family-owned traditional amusement park in Monticello, has been purchased by a New York company.

Morgan RV Resorts announced the acquisition on Tuesday. The purchase includes the entire Indiana Beach operation including hotels, campgrounds, lakefront beach, paddlewheel boat, dining, and retail operations.

"We are thrilled to be welcoming this historic Indiana family destination to the Morgan RV Resorts family," said Morgan RV Resorts co-owner Bob Moser. "Superb hospitality and exiting destinations are hallmarks of every Morgan resort. Guests of Indiana Beach will continue to take pleasure in the quality experience they have come to love over the past eight decades and enjoy an ongoing commitment to improving the destination year after year."

"This is an exciting time for Indiana Beach," said Tom Spackman Jr., grandson of park founder Earl Spackman. "With the recent upgrades to many of our accommodations, the forthcoming arrival of Steel Hawg and now the purchase by family-owned Morgan RV Resorts the future is brighter than ever. In the years to come, Indiana Beach is certain to remain the home for all the fun things you love to do."
