Madisonville, a cute little town located almost perfectly between the three major cities of Louisville in Kentucky, Nashville in Tennessee, and St. Louis in Missouri, is an exciting place to rent an RV and take a tour. Conveniently located in western Kentucky, you will find a seamless blend of northern, southern, and midwest culture intertwining to offer an experience difficult to find anywhere else. Known primarily as a coal mining town, Madisonville evolved and changed with the times to become a productive and diverse industrial hub with vibrant culture and kind locals.

Madisonville was named for former President James Madison and carries the nickname the “Best Town on Earth”. Book an RV in Madisonville and judge for yourself! With hot and humid summers and mostly mild winters, you can enjoy the area all year round. Between May and November is probably the most joyous time to travel to Madisonville and Hopkins County, because the area is known for its amazing summertime festivals such as the 4th Festival, celebrating the birthdate of the USA in style with fireworks and incredible barbecue. Additionally, the town hosts the Bacon, Blues, and Big Stories festival every October, another excellent dining experience with live music. Madisonville also claims to have the largest Veterans Day parade in the entire state of Kentucky. There is no doubt about it, this amazing little camper rental city knows how to party!

Discover Madisonville


Explore the Outdoors

For those traveling to the Bluegrass State to see the serene wilderness and incredible views, you will not be disappointed in the least. Luckily for you, Madisonville is a short drive away from many of the area’s nicest forests and recreation areas.

To the south near Hopkinsville in the tristate area, Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area awaits you for countless summer recreation activities. This incredible park is nestled between Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley on the border with Tennessee and was designated as a UNESCO biosphere reserve from 1991 until 2017. A few hours to the east, you can take your luxury Madisonville RV rental past Bowling Green to the Mammoth Cave National Park, a world heritage site famous for being the longest known cave system on the entire planet. This stunning underground complex is perfect for both amateur and expert spelunkers, and offers several different cave tours lead by park rangers. The cave is also home to hundreds of diverse species of bats, insects, and microorganisms that cannot be found anywhere else in the world.

Just over the state line in Indiana, the Shawnee National Forest holds 280,000 acres of federally protected land and is home to the aptly named “Little Grand Canyon”, a small box canyon created by thousands of years of erosion in the floodplains of the Mississippi River. Close to Madisonville, you can take your rental RV to visit both the Higginson-Henry and Jones-Keeney Wildlife Management Areas, which are popular hunting grounds for deer and elk in the fall and winter times.

City Sightseeing

Madisonville is hardly a sprawling city, so saying there is city sightseeing feels a bit disingenuous. Instead, it is better to focus on the quaint small-town essence that will greet you when you rent an RV in Madisonville. The area is home to several gorgeous and clean parks like Mahr Park and Trover Wellness Park, that offer the perfect place to have a picnic or cookout party.

In town, you will find the Brumfield Farmers Market, a great place to get to know the regulars and buy fresh produce and other wares for your trip, or even souvenirs for friends and family back home. Just out of town, the famous battlegrounds from the Civil War era battles of Sacramento and Browning Springs can be visited, a must-see attraction for all history buffs. Additionally, the area is chock-full of small museums each offering a small slice of history with artifacts and amazing photos from bygone eras.

It is also recommended that you take advantage of the town’s efficient public transportation options that rival those of much larger cities, so that you can park your motorhome rental in Madisonville and explore with ease.
