New CG with sites in an open field. 50 amp so we can use 2 AC if needed. Good paved roads, gravel sites some with concrete pad for picnic table. Stayed here under AOR, $9.63/night with tax. 12 miles south of Bloomington so not much around here unless you like the outdoors. 1/4 mile dirt track for race fans & an outdoor drive in movie 4 miles away. If you want some peace & quiet you'll like it, no street lights. Lots of well maintained RVs parked on sites with no one there, must be seasonal or weekenders. CG is well maintained, showers and bathrooms very clean. Sprint coverage is slow but works. Outdoor pool closed now, 9/18 but indoor pool looks very nice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Stayed here for four nights. Mini golf course is in need of a lot of work. Indoor pool a little small but nice. Sites are a little unlevel but nice size with cement pad for picnic table. Fire pits at each site. Would stay here again. Rate is because we are Coast to Coast members. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Newer park with no shade. Our sewer hookup was uphill from our site which doesn't work out too well. Grass was in bad need of mowing. Nice pool, miniature golf needs work. Close to lake Monroe. Good water pressure on sites. Not sure we would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a nice campground with clean amenities. That's where the positive feedback ends. Our stay was exorbitantly priced. They pull a bait and switch tactic when reserving sites. It is the only campground I have ever stayed the reserved rate only pays for the first 2 guests. I reserved my site online and disclosed the number of occupants(4). They charged me the fairly high nightly rate of $42. Then when we arrived on Labor Day weekend, they charged me an extra $10 per day each for my 14 and 16 year old children. With no where else to stay, we were stuck at the $62 per night rate. Then, the newly prepared sites we were given were dirt only, no grass, no gravel, no pavement. When it rained on the second day our $62 site became a mud pit. We will never go back to Lake Monroe Village again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is clean & decent, with a lot of long term campers. It seems to appeal to locals a lot - which may help explain their relatively high camping fee and extremely high fee ($10/person) for visitors. Our site was concrete with patio and was quite level; sewer connection was above ground so we had to be hands-on when dumping. Sites can be a bit tight. There is a nice pool on the grounds, and small store, plus a boat launch on Lake Monroe. Security is good; there is a gate at the entry for which they issue you an electronic card, and they monitor those coming & going. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a big park with lots of amenities and close to Lake Monroe. We were excited because it was a 5 Star rated park by Woodalls. Not even close. Restrooms were not maintained for at least 2 days at a time during our week stay and showers were only done about once a day. Not enough for such a big park. Wi-Fi was very spotty and this has been an ongoing problem there for years. Out in the country, about 12 miles from Bloomington. Staff is very friendly and helpful, just not as attentive to the restrooms as they should be. Were told no problems due to the floods but when we arrived, lake access was very limited. Would appreciate more honesty from the staff as it may not have caused us to change destinations but left a bad taste anyway. Not a bad park at all, just not what it is built up to be. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Multiple restroom facilities in disrepair, meaning 1 of 2 stalls was not functioning. With the ratio of facilities to campsites it became a problem. Sites were gravel except for one loop, and the gravel was almost gone. Everyone parking in the grass, and wherever they wanted, which is not what we normally see in State Parks. There were mostly boaters, which made it less than desirable for those wanting to camp, as it meant late nights of noise from both boats and campers. The beach was adequate. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We absolutely love this campground and camp several times a year here. Some sites are somewhat small and Not level so you do need to do your homework before arriving. I suggest doing a drive through prior to camping season (if that is possible for you) as to pick sites that would be suitable to your needs. The shower houses are clean and located centrally throughout the park, nice playgrounds, beach and boat mooring at some sites. Very clean, large, shaded sites available but you definitely need to plan ahead. You can reserve six months in advance so most of the "great" sites get taken very fast. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Since we visit Bloomington often, we have found this campground both close enough for daily commute to town, and excellent for our camping needs. We have happy to camp there in both August of 2004 (three nights) and May 2009 (three nights). The campground, indeed, as well as the whole park, is well maintained, has playground for the kids, boat rental, and I believe excursion boat trips on the Huge Lake Monroe Reservoir. The staff is helpful and courteous and readily available both night and day!! Really a nice place. You will like it!! We camped here in a Tent.
