RV camping near Farmersburg, Indiana
Farmersburg sits in Sullivan County along U.S. 41 in west-central Indiana, roughly halfway between Terre Haute and Vincennes. The surrounding landscape is a mix of farmland, reclaimed coal-mine lakes, and Wabash River bottomland, which gives RV travelers a compact cluster of lake-focused campgrounds within a short drive of town.
Options range from state-run parks to county lakes and a private RV park. Shakamak State Park offers three man-made lakes with 400 acres of water for fishing and boating, and camping, hiking, reservable cabins and group camps are popular features. Closer to Terre Haute, Fowler Park serves as a multipurpose park with two lakes, a campground, picnic shelters, playgrounds, trails, a covered bridge and a pioneer village with a working gristmill, and Prairie Creek Park adds another Vigo County lakefront option.
South of Farmersburg, Sullivan County Park & Lake features a beautiful 461 acre lake surrounded by 460 acres of land offering over 500 campsites, boating and water sports, fishing, shelter houses and cabin rentals. Terre Haute Campground rounds out the list for travelers who prefer a private park with standard RV amenities near the interstate.
Things to do around Farmersburg
Water recreation drives most trips. Shakamak State Park features three man-made lakes, Lake Shakamak, Lake Kickapoo, and Lake Lenape, popular for fishing and stocked with bass, bluegill, catfish, and other species; a valid Indiana fishing license is required for anglers aged 18 and older. A family-friendly aquatic center with a pool is available for swimmers during the summertime, and rowboat, canoe, paddleboat, and pontoon boat rentals are available.
At Sullivan County Park & Lake, there is no horsepower limit and the speed limit on the lake is 30 miles per hour, which makes it one of the few nearby lakes suited to power boating, tubing, and skiing. Fowler Park adds swimming beach access, a pioneer village, and a mountain-bike trail network next door at Griffin Bike Park.
Hiking is low-key but pleasant: a moderate 2.2-mile trail follows the shore and dam of Lake Kickapoo, good for taking in the aquatic view and bird watching for waterfowl and shorebirds.

The prime RV season runs from late April through mid-October. County parks are the most seasonal: at Fowler Park, camping season each year begins May 1st and concludes October 15th. Prairie Creek Park follows a similar Vigo County calendar. Weekends around Memorial Day, July 4, and Labor Day book heaviest, and Shakamak's electric loops often fill months in advance for summer holidays.
Spring brings the wettest weather of the year, with April and May producing frequent thunderstorms and occasional tornado watches. Summer is warm and humid, with afternoon highs commonly in the mid-80s and lake water warm enough for swimming into September. Fall camping through late October is a strong choice for cooler nights and fewer bugs, and about two-thirds of the campsites at Shakamak are in a wooded area, offering cool shade in the summer and beautiful fall colors in autumn.
Winter camping is limited. Shakamak State Park is open year round, and Sullivan County Park & Lake keeps year-round slip camping areas for campers, 5th-wheels, and RVs with water, electrical, and sewer services, but most amenities scale back once the county parks close.
How to book campsites near Farmersburg
Indiana state park sites use one reservation system. Reservations for Shakamak are handled through the ReserveAmerica system used by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, and reservations must be made 2 days ahead of arrival and can be made up to 12 months in advance. Cabins have their own booking window, so check the specific site type before planning.
Vigo County handles Fowler Park and Prairie Creek Park bookings through the county parks department's online reservation page at vigoparks.org. Sullivan County Park & Lake takes reservations directly through its own site, with year-round slips separated from seasonal tent and RV loops. Terre Haute Campground books through the private park's own channels.
Expect an entrance fee on top of the campsite charge at Indiana state parks. Pay it at the gate on arrival; the receipt or hang tag covers the rest of the stay.
What to expect on arrival
Site quality varies by park. About two-thirds of the campsites at Shakamak are in a wooded area, offering cool shade in the summer and beautiful fall colors in autumn, with a mix of electric, non-electric, full-hookup, cabin, and group sites. Fowler Park has approximately 60 modern sites with electricity and approximately 15 primitive campsites, and shower houses, restrooms, and a dump station are available to campers.
At Sullivan County Park & Lake, RV loops run from water-and-electric to full-hookup year-round slips, and the property includes a new playground and basketball court, fish cleaning station, golf course and golf cart rentals, over 114 seasonal boat slip rentals, beach, picnic areas, horseshoe pits, and fishing boat and pontoon rentals.
A few practical notes for RVers: 50amp sites at Fowler only have 50amp and do not have 30amp plugs, so an adapter is needed to use 30amp from a 50amp site; water hookups are not available at individual sites, so fill up before setting up or bring a long hose to reach the spigot in the middle of the loop; and alcohol is prohibited in all Indiana state parks, including Shakamak State Park.
