"I've bicycle camped at Indian Lake at Farmington and have also car tent-camped there with my wife. Indian Lake used to be a state park, but it was so close to Lacey-Keosauqua that is was sold to the city of Farmington. Because it's owned by a small town, the park has that rambling, rustic look that a lot of the new state parks have lost. My wife and I like that, since some of the new state parks, although with great facilities, have that "tract home" look, the camping equivalent of a mobile home park. The facility has flush toilets and hot showers, although a bit "rustic." The lake has a walking/bike path around it that my wife and I enjoyed biking. The trail includes educational signs. There is a beach with sand and boat rental opportunities. WiFi is pretty strong there, so my wife can bring her laptop and work some for her consulting business. The town has small-town facilities that include a store and a couple of restaurants. Shimek State Forest is nearby, which I've bicycled and camped in. It's an opportunity to see some forest land which is big enough to not turn around and see the corn and bean fields behind you--although, honestly, you have to make sure you position yourself well. Indian Lake is rural, peaceful, yet it has facilities (including modern RV hookups) that allow for a quiet, old-time camping experience."
