RV Parks

One of the closest places to park your camper rental from Elizabethtown is Crossroads Campground. The quiet wooded paradise sits just on the outskirts of town, far enough away to feel like you are immersed in nature, but close enough to town to still make use of all the amenities, shops and eateries. The pet walking area and playground will help to keep even the most energetic of family member entertained. Pull through sites have 50/30 and 30 amp service, as well as cable in many of the sites. The clean bathrooms and showers, laundry facilities and shop help to make this campground a good option when looking for somewhere to stay.

Don’t be fooled by the name of Grandma’s RV Camping, as it offers everything you need for a great stay. This is a perfect spot to park your travel trailer rental from Elizabethtown. The grounds offers big rig accommodations for RVs up to 70 feet, all of which have electric, water and sewer hook-ups. Unlike many of the big RV sites in the area, Grandma’s RV Camping is fairly basic, without all the entertainment options that some of the bigger campgrounds offer, but for many, this is part of the appeal. Head to Grandma’s RV Camping to get away from it all and take things back to basics, making it a good option if you just need a place to base yourself to explore the area.

Longview RV Park is another good option for your RV rental, thanks to its pull-through lots, free WiFi and a pet-friendly policy. Immediately in the park you’ll find a range of walking paths, as well as a well-stocked fishing lake for some catch and release fun.

Exploring the City

Visiting the historic downtown area is a something to consider should you wish to learn more about the history of the city and surrounding area. In the mood for a walk, then opt for a Costumed Walking Tour. Take a walk through the town with some of the characters from the town’s storied past, such as George Custer, and listen to tales as you pass historic landmarks and learn how they played a part in making the city what it is today. These tours run every Thursday, but if you are not around to catch a tour, a walk around the downtown in general is a great experience.

For a further history lesson, head to the Hardin County History Museum, whose aim is to provide education about the rich history of the county. The rooms are full of exhibits and stories, making it a great space to learn something new. If you would rather see this history first hand, then be sure to make a stop at ‘The Cannonball’. The cannonball was fired by General John Hunt Morgan’s forces in 1862, and still remains embedded in the wall of the Depp Building today.

If you have worked up an appetite with all this exploring, then let the impressive selection of eateries entice you, with something to satisfy even the fussiest of taste bud. /cafes, coffee shops, English pubs, family-friendly fare, Italian, and some great ice cream parlors, are anxiously awaiting your arrival.
