Louisville, KY
Louisville is about 44 miles from Etown RV Park, and it makes for a great day out! Start downtown at the Muhammad Ali Center for a dose of inspiration, then head to Waterfront Park and walk the Big Four Bridge for Ohio River views (sunset there is hard to beat). Swing by the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory to see bats made on site, then do something you can’t do in most cities: go underground at the Louisville Mega Cavern for a tram tour or an adventure experience. Finish the day in NuLu or the Highlands for local shops, coffee, and a really good dinner before you roll back to the park.
Bardstown, KY
Bardstown is about 26 miles from Etown RV Park, and it’s just about as “Kentucky” as you can get. Start with a distillery stop at the Heaven Hill Bourbon Experience or Bardstown Bourbon Company, then take your time wandering the historic downtown. It’s made for a slow stroll, a good lunch, and a little antique window shopping. If you want to turn it into a full evening, hop aboard the My Old Kentucky Dinner Train for a themed ride with dinner and countryside views. It’s a fun way to get the full bourbon story without stacking tasting after tasting.
Fort Knox, KY
Fort Knox is about 17 miles from Etown RV Park, and it’s a surprisingly engaging outing, even if you’re not a big history person. The must-do stop is the General George Patton Museum of Leadership. It’s free, and you can visit without a Fort Knox visitor pass, so it’s an easy add-on to your day. Inside, you’ll find exhibits on military history and leadership, plus vehicles and equipment you can get up close to. Plan it as a laid-back half-day, then head back to Elizabethtown for lunch or dinner. If the weather’s nice, tack on a quick walk at Freeman Lake Park and call it a pretty perfect local day!
