Elizabethtown Crossroads Campground

The Great Outdoors

If you’re longing for some nature, just park your RV in Elizabethtown and head to Freeman Lake Park, a beautiful area where you can use the walking trails and the 18-hole disc golf course, play pickleball and sand volleyball, or have fun at the playground and pavilion rentals. Play some tennis, have a picnic, and play with your dog in the dog park, but don’t forget about the big attraction: the lake. Fish for channel catfish, bluegill, and rainbow trout, or go kayaking or paddle-boarding. The kayak dock is wheelchair-friendly, too.If you’d like to see a bit more of the area surrounding you and your Elizabethtown RV rental, then you can try the Greenbelt Walking Tours and Parks. These series of trails run by not only Freeman Lake, but also Buffalo Lake and Fisherman’s Lake and do a great job protecting recreational, ecological, and historical features as well as serve as an excellent recreational opportunity.You simply can’t rent an RV in Elizabethtown without paying a visit to Mammoth Cave National Park, home to arguably the largest cave system in the whole world. Go on a tour deep underground, where it’s always 54 degrees Fahrenheit no matter what time of year, and where you can truly learn the meaning of absolute darkness - don’t worry, though, the ranger who’s guiding you knows the caves. You can also check out caves and caverns where you can see an underground river or learn about the cave system, and you can shop for rocks, minerals, fossils, and other souvenirs as well.
