The Great Outdoors

There certainly isn’t going to be a shortage of things to enjoy with an RV rental in Wilmington. One of the first places you might want to check out is Cowan Lake State Park. Even though they have cabins here, you won’t need that because you bring your shelter with you when you rent a motorhome in Wilmington. You can enjoy hiking, fishing, and swimming along the lake. You can also do some bicycling and there are plenty of fun outdoor activities for children. If you have a penchant for golf, it can be a wonderful way to get out of your Wilmington camper rental for a few hours. The Majestic Springs Golf Club in Wilmington has a great layout. It is a small-town golf course that plays like a destination on the PGA Tour.

For a little more of a road trip, take the drive past Cincinnati to Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge near Madison, Indiana. The hours here are somewhat limited to minimize the disturbance to the wildlife but chances are you can make a day work with your schedule. This is worth the trip since it is the largest of Indiana’s three wildlife refuges. Enjoy the view of Old Timbers Lake while bird-watching and fishing. You can even see wildlife like wild turkeys and white-tailed deer if you’re lucky.

Another option to call home with your Wilmington camper rental is Cowan Lake State Park, right in Wilmington. Talk a walk on one of the short trails accessed from the campsite or take a refreshing dip at their small swimming beach during the summer. The camping experience here is a little more primitive with only electric hookups and a dump station on-site. There are shower houses and laundry facilities for your convenience, too.

Olive Branch Campground is located not too far away in Oregonian, Ohio and could be your home away from home in your Wilmington luxury RV rental. The sites here are full hookup and dotted among the campground’s 25 wooded acres. Use the Wi-Fi or the pool or even practice your fishing skills in their catch and release pond. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring and guests have access to laundry, restroom, and shower facilities.

Exploring the City
