First, when it comes to lakes, especially natural lakes, Indiana got the short end of the stick.
Having said that, there are some CGs I've used that are NEAR major water bodies, but the campsites are not ON the lakeshore.
Indiana Dunes state park...on Lake Michigan
Indiana Dunes national lakeshore...on Lake Michigan
Hoosier National Forest, Hardin ridge Recreation Area..on Monroe Reservoir.... A huge campground, with visitor center, hook ups, large boat ramp, etc.
