Paynetown Campground at Monroe Lake offers 318 campsites (221 electric, 72 non-electric, 19 tent-only) with direct lake access, a marina, boat rentals (pontoons, kayaks, jet skis), and a sandy beach, making it ideal for both camping and water recreation.

The campground features clean shower facilities, a camp store, and multiple boat launch ramps, though sites can be sloped and the area gets crowded on weekends.

Located 10 minutes from Bloomington, Indiana, it's one of the largest campgrounds in the state with rates ranging from $16-$38 per night.
