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.
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.
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.

We had the camper delivered for us as we were flying in from Texas. It was nice to have it ready when we arrived. It was also very clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. It included outdoor chairs and a rug as well. Inside it was stocked with towels, sheets, kitchen supplies, toilet paper, paper towel, trash bags, etc. The storage bins on the shelves and in the refrigerator were much appreciated. We would highly recommend this rental and the ease at which we were able to converse with Sarah! Thank you!!
