Camping near Elberfeld, Indiana
Elberfeld is a small town in Warrick County in southwest Indiana, roughly 20 miles northeast of Evansville. The town sits just south of Interstate 64 and east of Interstate 69, though it has no direct interchange, so RV travelers typically approach via Indiana 68 or the Indiana 57 interchange to the west. Its position places campers within easy reach of the Ohio and Wabash River corridors, with public and private campgrounds on both the Indiana and Kentucky sides.
Most RV visitors base their trips around a mix of private parks and state-managed lands. Miles Landing Campground sits close to town and caters primarily to RVs, while Weather Rock Camp Ground and the Vanderburgh 4-H Center provide additional local options. Larger state parks within about an hour include John James Audubon State Park, located just south of the Ohio River in western Kentucky, in the woods where John James Audubon walked as he studied the subjects of his paintings, and Beall Woods State Park on the banks of the Wabash River in southeastern Illinois.
The overall setting is rolling farmland, hardwood forest, and river bottom, with limited elevation and mostly easy driving for towable and drivable RVs.

At John James Audubon State Park, visitors can enjoy camping, golf, fishing, hiking, tennis, picnicking, and playgrounds, plus the on-site museum and nature center dedicated to the naturalist.
