Smack dab in the center of Indiana, the massive city of Indianapolis is an easily accessible destination for an RV rental adventure.

So basically, you can pick up your camper rental in Indianapolis and get to just about anywhere. This sizeable city is known for its small town feel and friendly hospitality, often times referred to as the biggest little city in the Midwest (and possibly the country). A stay here during an RV rental by owner vacation is sure to be a memorable one!  

Discover Indianapolis


Green Space

Indianapolis is home to multiple historic sites, including Fort Harrison State Park, the former site of Fort Benjamin Harrison. A park packed with nature and history, Fort Harrison State Park is open year-round and has three hiking trails and a trail for horseback riding. Another point of interest to visit during your Indianapolis RV rental trip is White River State Park. The 250-acre urban park is located on the western edge of the downtown area. Various attractions and activities lie within the park, including the zoo, museums, gardens and even gondola rides. Just north of the downtown area is the more rustic Holliday Park. Over 200 species of birds, among other woodland creatures, reside in here, plus there are various trails and playgrounds to explore. RV rentals in Indianapolis make it easy to enjoy the city’s best features.

What to See and Do

Home of the annual Indianapolis 500 indy car race and two professional sports teams, basketball’s Pacers and football’s Colts, Indianapolis is packed with sport-related action, and that equals the potential for some serious RV rental tailgating. The month of May is filled with events leading up to the Indy 500, which is held over Memorial Day weekend each year. Most of these events are free and you don’t necessarily have to be an auto racing fan to enjoy the festivities. During a family camper rental vacation in Indianapolis, the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is a must-see. Dinosaurs, space, science, storytelling centers, and even a playscape area are just a few of the exhibits that will easily provide a full day of entertainment for everyone in the family. The Indianapolis Zoo, located in White River State Park near the downtown area, houses a broad spectrum of animals to observe, from lions and tigers to snakes and other reptiles to aquatic creatures including sea lions and dolphins. Also planted in the expansive White River State Park is the Eiteljorg Museum, housing American Indian and western artifacts, artwork and other interesting historical items. Book an RV in Indianapolis and get started on an unforgettable tour of the area’s historical, cultural, and entertainment features.

What’s Unique

While enjoying your rental by owner RV  in Indianapolis, it’s hard to miss the easy access to the various areas of the city. The intersecting interstates and highways provide lots of options to traverse from “point A”  to “point B” in your camper or motorhome rental. The public transportation, IndyGo is also recognized as one of the best public transport systems in the country, so you can leave the RV rental parked and hop on to the bus. Fares are reasonable and can be purchased per trip, per day or even per week. Kids under 5 years old ride free with a fare-paying adult.

Where to Park It

Indianapolis has a pretty wide variety of RV parks and camper-friendly spots to park your motorhome rental. Most are located to the east or south of the downtown area and for those looking to park the camper rental out of the hustle and bustle of the big city, there are also a few options on the outskirts of the metro area. There are also close to 40 Walmarts around town, adding to the list of convenient parking locations for your camper rental in Indianapolis. If slowing it down and seeking a bit of solitude is on the agenda during the RV rental vacation in Indianapolis, stop for a stay at the Blackwell Horsecamp in Hoosier National Forest. Located about 90 miles south of Indianapolis, this place is gorgeous and peaceful. Most sites are private and pretty rustic. Though the camp is geared towards equestrian visitors, all campers are welcome, including those immersing themselves in the rental RV experience. A call ahead to confirm site availability is recommended. So which places do you prefer to park your camper rental; a private RV park or a state or national park? Only one way to find out. Try both and see for yourself which experience you prefer!

The Food

Groceries and supplies are readily available throughout the city, with a couple large concentrations of local and chain stores along I-65 to the NW and I-70 to the east of downtown.

When the stomachs start to growl on your Indianapolis RV rental vacation, stop and experience some of the delicious foods for which Indianapolis is known. Much of the food is highly influenced by the Germans who settled the city long ago, so sausages, sauerkraut and other German staples are readily available. The breaded pork tenderloin sandwich and the roast beef manhattan are top local food options to try for those looking to increase their carbohydrate intake for the day. For the connoisseurs of a quality popcorn product, Indianapolis has you covered. Indiana is the second top popcorn producer in the country. This plethora of popcorn offers some amazing quality popped kernels and some pretty creative popcorn variations. If you find yourself on your Indianapolis RV rental trip in the sometimes steamy summer months of July or August, seek out fresh some sweet corn; it’s prime season for this delicious crop and there’s really nothing like lightly buttered, fresh picked corn-on-the-cob.

For being located in the Central Midwestern plains, the biggest little city of Indianapolis has definitely made itself a hub of culture and big city living in the midst of all the surrounding rural space. Search for an RV rental in Indianapolis and get started on your next RV rental adventure!
