Fowler County Park

As far as camping, not a ton of spaces. Most seemed to be ok size. The great: a lot of the sites are right on the water or really close to it. there bathroom/shower house is newer and clean (it could use a vent window though). There is a nice beach. We stayed in July and the water was really warm. The gentleman that happened to be working the afternoon we got there was super helpful. The bad: because of the fingers of the lake, a lot of sites back up to each other REALLY CLOSE! You may find that you can hear everything going on in your neighbors sites. The AWESOME: this park is a short four minute bike ride from Griffin Bike Park, which is an amazing mountain bike park.

Wow, a gem that didn't show up on my gps.

Nice little County park. Well maintained but the bathroom and showers need to be updated. This park is located about 1/4 mile from the entrance to Griffin Bike park, and the mountain biking there is fantastic. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

Nice scenic campground.

Personal Thoughts and Experience:
We had a wonderful time. We absolutely loved the pioneer village. it is a must go especially when they are having pioneer days in the fall.  There is a mountain bike park close to the campground that is a premier facility.  Beginner to advance trails with a practice course.  Amazing!  My husband competes in the Dyno series and loves to train at the facility then camp at Fowler Park!

Primitive and camper sites available first come, first serve. $12 primitive tent sites on water. Kinda close together and some are shaded. Sites have sandbox pads. Pets allowed. Nice bathhouses. “Beach” open 12-6. Also have a Pioneer Village and nice playgrounds (not open due to Covid). Great place for fishing, picnicking, canoeing/kayaking. Clean, but a little noisy. Lots of families here. 

“Beach” in Indiana

Pretty awesome site. Parked right by the lake front. Private and quite. 
We paid $12 for primitive. 

There is also a really nice loop around the lake with a swimming spot and some old cabins for some westworld feels. 

Tarmac pretty smooth for a longboard glide almost all the way around the lake.

Awesome spot

Very nice  . 

This place was perfect!! Right on the lake for unlimited amount of fishing time. The ability to take your golf cart for rides around the park. We will definitely be back!

Amazing place

I have been camping here for many years. It is part of Vigo County parks and recreation and is first come first serve for the sites that are RV accessible with electric hookups. There are metal fire rings at each site. The showers and restrooms are clean and are cleaned daily. The access to the campground is gated and locked at 10pm each night. There is a colonial village and covered bridge on the north end of the lake. The lake that it is located on is beautiful. Easy access to walk and fish along the bank on 80 percent of the lake. It is a great place to visit and the sites are large.

Great place to visit

Beautiful place! Love that we were right next to the water

Rv trip!!!

This is our family favorite camp park in Terre Haute! Has great hiking trails, a covered bridge with historical log cabins for festivals. They have 1 cabin you can rent out. Bring your fishing gear, they stock the lake. There's and boat ramp and bank access to kayak. They have some pull through for your big riggs and some sand beds for your tent camping
