Camping near Elizabethtown guide

Overview

Between Louisville and Bowling Green, Elizabethtown is home to some of Kentucky’s most beautiful scenery and camping. Explore walking trails in the town’s 10 parks, or go boating and fishing at Freeman Lake. The lake is stocked with bass, catfish, and rainbow trout and is near quiet, pet-friendly campgrounds that offer RV sites and tent camping with water hookups, showers, bathrooms, and picnic tables. For more water views, head an hour north to Patoka Lake Recreation Area and hike through bald eagle nesting areas. Pitch a tent lakeside or park the RV in a pull-through campsite with full hookups, on-site convenience stores, and boat rentals. A day away from the lake can be spent at Hoosier National Forest, a 30-minute drive from Patoka Lake. Wander through limestone caves and the rolling Indiana backcountry. Public campgrounds inside the forest include lakefront RV campsites with 30-amp hookups, while nearby private campgrounds invite tent campers to stay in shady groves with solar-powered showers and bathrooms.
