Camping areas near Greenwood, Indiana, range from lakefront sites to forest camping in the hills. Paynetown Campground sits on Lake Monroe and has good spots for fishing and boating during the summer months. Brown County State Park's Buffalo Ridge Campground has room for bigger camping setups with both tent and RV sites available. The bathrooms and shower buildings at Paynetown stay pretty clean, which helps when you're camping for several days. Buffalo Ridge has flat, open sites that don't require much work to set up camp. You should book ahead at both places, particularly on summer weekends when they fill up fast. Always check if there are fire bans before you pack your marshmallows and sticks. The roads to Paynetown are paved and in good shape, while Buffalo Ridge feels more tucked away from everything. Some campsites have good tree cover while others are more open to the sun. You'll find varying amounts of space between sites - some give you decent privacy while others are more social. These campgrounds get crowded during peak times, so midweek visits mean fewer neighbors. Bring your own firewood since gathering it isn't allowed in most places. The campgrounds near Greenwood work well for weekend trips or longer stays depending on what you're after.

GuideThe campground is very nice with decent sized sites and very clean. The bath houses are kept in good order and the camp store is nearby for everything you forgot.
One important thing. There is no water at the sites. you have to fill your tanks at a central spigot before setting up. 5o map power was great.
ScoutVery clean. Well kept, mostly full shade . Easy access to ramp on lake.
GuideWe made last minute reservations, for tent camping, the staff was so nice. She even brought fire wood to us after they closed the store. They have all amenities. The shower were nice and clean (the water was a bit smelly). The sight comes with outlets and water faucets. There’s a lake right near the sight that u can go into, but that causes a lot of flies to come.
ScoutThis is a free family church camp that teaches about God and has free meals and fun activities for kids
ScoutWe was put in a spot because we have a big dog and a special needs daughter and after being here 2 days the host came rudely knocking on my door to tell me check out was 5 minutes ago when I have 2 days left and then said all of a sudden my dog wasn’t allowed
GuideGreat for car camping or tent camping. 2.2 miles of gravel dirt road. Very set off the road and private. Very leveled. Shaded by the trees. Clean. Cell service was great.
ScoutQuiet and quant! Nice little campground with great fishing nearby!!
TravelerWe love these campsites! So much space, existing fire rings, there was wood left behind from previous campers so that was nice! We have a reactive pup and she is able to live her best life there! We enjoyed all the trails around our site as well.
TravelerI chose this spot because we wanted to camp by water, but didn’t realize the camp sites are a 5-10 minute walk from the lake. The sites are pushed back, quiet, have existing fire rings, and are spacious. We enjoyed our time, just wish there was a bit more room to spend time at the lake!

Fishing opportunities: The fishing pond at Indianapolis KOA offers stocked waters where campers can fish without traveling to larger lakes. "There is a nice size dog park and you can get a nice walk in around the campground," notes Shelly S., who enjoyed the on-site amenities.
Visit state parks: Brown County State Park, about an hour from Greenwood, offers extensive hiking trails and scenic views. A camper at Taylor Ridge Campground reports: "The nature center is really fun with animals and a bee hive that the children really enjoyed! There are a lot of diverse hiking trails for all."
Local attractions: Some campgrounds serve as convenient bases for exploring Indianapolis. "Used this campground as a home base to visit downtown Indy. 20 minutes to downtown attractions," writes Tom O. about Indianapolis KOA, making it practical for those wanting to combine camping with city activities.
Kid-friendly amenities: Family-oriented campgrounds with dedicated play areas receive positive reviews. At S and H Campground, campers appreciate the "little section full of carnival like rides" and "several playgrounds." Another reviewer notes, "The balance between kid fun and peaceful nature is actually on point here."
Water features: Splash pads and pools rank highly among family campers in the area. "The splash pad / water park was fun, but was not a pool. It only goes to 3 feet so if you want to swim this is not for you. The water was cold but my kiddos finally got in and had fun on the slides," shares a visitor to S and H Campground.
Camp stores and food options: On-site conveniences matter to campers near Greenwood. "Ice cream available a lot of flavors and real ice cream not just soft serve," notes Mary T. about Indianapolis KOA. Another camper at S and H mentions they "ordered pizza for dinner they deliver to the site which is nice."
Reservation recommendations: Many campgrounds in the area fill quickly during peak season. Johnson County Park, located south of Greenwood, offers 58 sites with electric and water hookups. A visitor explains: "The RV campground consists of 58 sites with 30amp/50amp electric and water hook ups, level gravel pads(4 sites are paved) and a dump station."
Bathroom facilities: Quality varies significantly between campgrounds. At Lake Haven Retreat, a camper praised the "laundry and bathhouse is really stellar too. Clean and open 24/7. Plenty of washers and dryers."
Noise considerations: Some campgrounds are located near highways or military installations. "The park is located in close proximity to an active reserve military base that from time to time has exercises with air traffic and the sounds of shells and artillery fire," notes a reviewer at Johnson County Park, information that could be important for light sleepers.
Playground access: Choose sites near play areas for convenience with young children. "The perks of this KOA are a very nice playground and wading pool area. So if you have younger children, ideal for you," mentions a reviewer about Indianapolis KOA Holiday.
Wildlife encounters: Some campgrounds offer educational opportunities with local wildlife. "The nature center is really fun with animals and a bee hive that the children really enjoyed," shares a camper at Taylor Ridge Campground in Brown County State Park.
Budget-friendly activities: Many campgrounds offer free amenities beyond just camping. "Miniature golf was free, pool was a little green (but we had a lot of rain)," notes a visitor to S and H Campground, pointing out values that help families stretch vacation dollars.
Site selection: RV campers recommend calling ahead for specific site information. At Johnson County Fairgrounds, a reviewer warns about "poor site and utility placement with multiple sites sharing water. The sites back up to each other and the utilities are down the middle."
Hookup variations: Many campgrounds offer different levels of service at different price points. "We were on an electric + water site. The dump station on creek side were not functioning and we had to have our tanks pumped," shares an RVer at S and H Campground, suggesting full hookups might be worth the extra cost.
Leveling challenges: Bring leveling blocks as many sites in the area require them. "Our site was incredibly uneven," reports a monthly camper at S and H Campground, while another mentions that Taylor Ridge Campground's "site needed level blocks and is just wide enough for the RV."
