Greene Sullivan State Forest offers two main campgrounds: Narrow Lake and sites around Reservoir 26 and Wampler Lake. Reservoir 26 campground features open, flat terrain that accommodates larger RVs comfortably. Wampler Lake campground is more secluded but still accessible for RVs. At Narrow Lake Campground specifically, be aware that sites P1-P3 near the lake are electric but tend to be unlevel, and some campers report highway noise. For a quieter experience, choose sites further from the road. The forest encompasses nearly 9,000 acres, providing both lakeside and wooded camping options.

Greene Sullivan State Forest provides access to approximately 120 lakes spread across its nearly 9,000 acres. While camping at Narrow Lake Campground, you can easily access Narrow Lake itself. Other significant lakes include Reservoir 26 and Wampler Lake, both of which have their own campgrounds. Most lakes feature boat ramps suitable for small watercraft, making them perfect for kayaking and canoeing. These lakes are known for excellent fishing opportunities and are considered some of the best fishing spots in Indiana. The lakes are particularly rich with fish due to their origins as reclaimed coal mining land.
