RV Parks in Louisville, KY

As a major city sitting on the banks of the Ohio River, Louisville, Kentucky, has much to offer RV campers. Driving a big rig into the area is comparatively simple, as the city sits at a major junction of interstates and has a convenient set of bridges across the Ohio River. Furthermore, RV campers who are outdoors enthusiasts will find that the area's lakes and creeks offer fishing and boating, while the largely rural countryside offers biking, hiking and nature watching.

Expo Five Dome

The Expo Five Dome is one of those unusual RV parks that sits right in the midst of Louisville. It is ideal for RV campers who want a location with easy access to the urban attractions of the city, such as the Muhammad Ali Center or the Victorian homes of Old Louisville. The park has water and electrical hookups (limited to 20 amps), a dump station and shower house, as well as 24-hour security.
