Campgrounds near Hymera, Indiana
Hymera sits in southwestern Indiana's Sullivan County, surrounded by a mix of state park lands, county-run lakes, and reclaimed coal-country terrain. The closest full-service option is Shakamak State Park near Jasonville, which is open year round and includes electric, non-electric, full-hookup, cabin, and cottage sites across 223 reservable sites on three lakes.
About 20 minutes west, Sullivan County Park & Lake wraps a 461-acre lake with more than 500 campsites, including primitive tent areas, improved sites with water and electric, and year-round slip sites with water, electric, and sewer. It is a strong pick for larger rigs and lake-focused stays.
Heading north toward Terre Haute, Vigo County operates Fowler Park and Prairie Creek Park, both offering electric and primitive sites with a seasonal camping window. For a smaller private option, Hillbilly Acres Campground LLC rounds out the local list. Together these campgrounds cover most trip styles: state park with cabins and swimming, county lake with big-rig hookups, and quieter county parks with lakeside sites.
Things to do near Hymera
Water dominates the local recreation menu. Shakamak State Park has three man-made lakes covering 400 acres for fishing and boating, a family aquatic center, and trails through oak and pine woods. Sullivan County Park & Lake allows boating, tubing, and skiing with no horsepower limit and a 30 mph speed limit, and the lake is stocked with hybrid saugeye, walleye, bluegill, bass, and crappie.
Fowler Park adds a swimming beach on 25.9-acre Fowler Lake, a boat launch, jon boat and kayak rentals from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and an 1840s-era Pioneer Village with 18 buildings and a working gristmill.

Summer brings peak demand.

How to book campsites near Hymera
Shakamak State Park reservations are handled through the Indiana DNR system on ReserveAmerica. Sites can be booked up to 12 months in advance and must be reserved at least 2 days ahead of arrival. Indiana state park entrance fees apply per vehicle and are collected on arrival; annual passes are available for residents and non-residents.
Sullivan County Park & Lake takes bookings through its own website and Campspot.

What to expect on arrival
Expect a mix of wooded and open sites. Shakamak's campground is largely shaded oak and pine forest with shower houses, restrooms, and a group camp; alcohol is prohibited in Indiana state parks. Sullivan County Park & Lake is a larger, more resort-style operation with a beach, golf course, disc golf, playgrounds, bathhouses serving most camping groups, and firewood, live bait, and propane available on site.
Fowler Park has around 60 modern electric sites and about 15 primitive campsites, a dump station, showers, and metal fire rings; the entrance gate is locked at 10 p.m. Site length can be tight for larger rigs at the county parks, so drivers of longer trailers and motorhomes should confirm site dimensions when booking. Hookup levels vary widely between primitive, electric-only, and full-hookup sites.
