The Great Outdoors

Owensboro’s biggest nearby outdoor attraction is Hoosier National Forest, which is just northeast of the city. This massive national forest is situated in the rolling hills of southern Indiana, making it a great destination for outdoor adventurers looking to experience the beauty of Appalachia. Hikers can choose from over 50 miles of trails that range from easy, mile-long walks to intense, multi-day hikes. The Hemlock Cliffs National Scenic Trail is relatively short, but it takes visitors into a canyon with waterfalls, making it a worthwhile trek. Watersport enthusiasts are also in luck since the national forest’s many lakes and rivers are filled with boating, swimming, and kayaking opportunities. Rock climbers can also enjoy many of the cliff faces throughout the park; however, these zones aren’t officially maintained, so be sure to come prepared if you plan to rock climb.

After you visit the Hoosier National Forest, you can also check out some of the many great parks within the area. History buffs should head to Lincoln State Park in Lincoln City, IN, to visit the boyhood home of President Abraham Lincoln. After learning about President Lincoln’s life at the interpretive center, visitors can hike along 10 miles of trails or enjoy one of the park’s two lakes. You can then head to Henderson to visit John James Audubon State Park. With a historical museum, nature center, and birding area, this small park is the perfect destination for visitors looking to learn more about the natural history of the Ohio River, or you can enjoy the numerous recreation opportunities in the park, including golf, boating, and tennis. Or, if you’d rather venture closer to town, check out Panther Creek Park. Nature lovers can explore four trails as well as a butterfly garden, and anglers will delight in the park’s regularly-stocked lake. With so much natural beauty surrounding the city, Owensboro is the perfect place for anyone to rent an RV.

RV Parks

If you book an RV in Owensboro, you’ll have plenty of RV parks and campsites to choose from. If you want to stay in the Hoosier National Forest, you can head to one of three RV-friendly campgrounds in the forest. The Tipsaw Lake Campground has a handful of RV sites with electrical hookups as well as on-site bathrooms and showers. The Hardin Ridge Campground has RV-friendly sites with electrical hookups and a dump station. The Celina Lake Campground is particularly scenic, but it’s only suitable for small RVs. Travelers can also set up camp at Lincoln State Park, which has sites with electrical hookups along Lake Lincoln. However, if you want to stay close to nature and the city, check out the Stevenson Campground in Rockport, IN. This small campground sits along the river just outside of Owensboro, providing visitors with gorgeous river views just minutes away from the city.

If you’re looking for a few more amenities for the Owensboro motorhome rental, you could head to the Diamond Lake RV Resort, the Livermore RV Park, or the Lake Rudolph RV Resort. Diamond Lake offers campsites with full hookups as well as easy access to five fishing lakes, two go-kart tracks, and an on-site grill. Livermore doesn’t have as many bells and whistles, but it still offers full hookups. You could also head to Lake Rudolph in Santa Claus. At this full-service RV park, guests can rent golf carts and boats, play in a game room, play mini golf or volleyball, and even enjoy an on-site water park. You’ll easily find a great home base for your RV rental in Owensboro.

Exploring the City

After a long day of exploring the Ohio River Valley, you should head into the city to enjoy its museums, gardens, and local businesses. Owensboro is best known for its Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum, which hosts an annual festival with high-profile headliners.

Museum junkies can also check out the Owensboro Museum of Fine Art or the Owensboro Museum of Science and History. You can also take a nice walk through the Western Kentucky Botanical Garden, which is filled with roses, daylilies, and preserved historical buildings. Bourbon lovers should then head to the local distillery to get an inside glimpse at how the spirit is made, or if booze isn’t your scene, head to Owensboro’s quaint downtown for small shops and delicious restaurants. Plus, since it’s a relatively small city, you’ll easily be able to get around with your motorhome rental in Owensboro.
