Serve up a slice of classic Americana on your next road trip with a visit to Fort Wayne. Indiana's second city, Fort Wayne, was founded during the Revolutionary War and is famous for being the final resting place of Johnny Appleseed. Plan a family day out at the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo, go birdwatching at Fox Island County Park, and learn about modern art at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art — whatever your crew is into, Fort Wayne has you covered.
The best time to book an RV rental in Fort Wayne is in late spring/early summer when temperatures average in the mid-70s, which is perfect weather for exploring Fort Wayne on foot. Many of Fort Wayne's best festivals, like Middle Waves, Germanfest, and the Three Rivers Festival, take place in May and June, so you'll have fun and feel comfortable.

There are several highly-rated RV campgrounds in Fort Wayne where you and your crew can enjoy a relaxing getaway. Located 3 miles from downtown along the St Joseph River, Johnny Appleseed Campground is the most convenient RV park around. Sites come with water and electric hookups that support 30- and 50-amp electricity. There are no sewage hookups, but there's a dump station on-site. Dogs are welcome, and there's a large dog park adjacent to the camp. The river provides plenty of activities like boating and fishing. Amenities include restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities.
If you'd prefer to park farther from the city, swing by Camp Timber Lake. Situated 20 miles southwest of Fort Wayne near Huntington, this campground offers sites with full hookups and 20/30/50-amp electricity. You won't be short of activities around camp, with zipline tours, swimming in Timber Lake, and several nearby hiking trails. Home comforts include a camp store, laundry facilities, and a dump station.
Or, head 28 miles north of Fort Wayne and camp at Chain O' Lakes State Park. Sites are either primitive or come with electrical hookups that supply 15/20/30-amp electricity. There's no better campground near Fort Wayne for getting outdoors, with nine interconnected lakes and 23 miles of woodland trails to explore. On-site amenities include a camp store, a dump station, and restrooms.
Fort Wayne is one of Indiana's biggest cities, so you'll want to check local traffic levels and decide where to park before you head downtown. Traffic in Fort Wayne can be bumper-to-bumper during rush hour, but the city is less congested than other metro areas of a similar size. Walmart and Lowes are good options if you're looking to park your RV rental downtown for the day.
Keep the kids in your crew entertained with a visit to the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo. Voted one of the best zoos in the country, the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo is home to over 1,000 animals from around the world. The zoo is split into different geographical regions, ranging from the Indonesian rainforest to the African savanna. During your visit, you'll come face-to-face with Sumatran orangutans, Amur tigers, spotted hyenas, and much more.
One unique attraction to check out during your Fort Wayne motorhome rental is Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory. Covering over 25,000-square-feet, this enclosed conservatory houses over 2,000 plants from over 100 plant families. Stroll through the Sonoran Desert at the Desert Garden, sniff sweet rhododendrons at the Beverforden Garden, or sit and listen to the babbling waterfall at Tropical Garden.
There are a few parks near Fort Wayne; one of the best is Fox Island County Park. Less than 10 miles from downtown, Fox Island County Park comprises 270 acres of varied Indiana countryside, ranging from glacial sand dunes to sprawling forests. Take a hike down the park's 7-mile trail system, then cool off with a dip in Bowman Lake.
