where to camp

Big Bend is a RV park and race course in Louisville Ky, I think. Also they have a camping World, they normally allow parking in their lot overnight, unless the city is up in arms about it.

I spent a few nights at Big Bend around Father's day weekend for the races, in 2004 and 2006. It was really crowded that weekend, but most are OK.

I love to find wide open spaces to camp in, that is boondocking. However I will stay in a RV park because it is usually pretty quiet, and the cost is usually less than what 5 gallons of gas is these days. Why the big deal over a $20 campsite if that is close to the freeway, and easy to get to. While I will waste 5 gallons of gas to find a nice mountain top to camp on, or a lake to camp near, I figure that spending the night at Wal Mart is not really worth the $20 that I save.

Try one of the Cracker Barrels or Lowes, if you really don't want to get off the highway and go to a campground, There are a few state parks just above Louisville in Indiana. Charlestown sticks in my mind.

Easy on, easy off. We have stayed there multiple times and never had any issues. We spent a weekend there last spring. Its a typical KOA. Expensive and pretty tight but is clean

Why not try a campground where you would actually pay to spend the night.
