Inez Spring Riverfront RV Park

Inez Spring Riverfront RV Park in Eastland, TX, offers full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections. Both pull-thru and back-in layouts are available, and the park is rated big rig friendly. Contact the park for site count and maximum rig length, since those specifics aren't published here. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, a dump station, and a community fire pit cover the practical side. Pets are welcome. The property covers 24 acres along the Leon River, with a boat ramp, an outdoor pool, a playground, walking trails, and river frontage. The Leon's spring-fed tributaries create the swimming holes and fishing access that make this stretch worth stopping for, with birding, hiking, kayaking, boating, picnicking, and dark Cross Timbers sky for stargazing. A state park and wineries are nearby. Eastland sits just off Interstate 20 at Exit 343 in Eastland County, on the rolling Cross Timbers between Fort Worth and Abilene. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Riverfront sites are the ones to ask for; call to confirm your rig's fit.

Willow Beach RV Park & Marina

52 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 3 Tent Sites

Willow Beach RV Park and Marina in Graford, Texas, offers 52 full-hookup RV sites, seven cabins, and three tent sites on Possum Kingdom Lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A waterfront back-in 50-amp category joins pull-through and water-and-electric tiers, with a water park, mini-golf, and fitness center. Fifty-two sites run in back-in water-and-electric 50-amp, pull-thru 50-amp, and waterfront back-in 50-amp categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. The waterfront category is the one to request. Seven cabins and three tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side. A water park and outdoor pool anchor the summer, with a beach supporting swimming, boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. Mini-golf, a fitness center, clubhouse, game room, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, and dog park fill the rest, with live music, wine and beer tasting nearby, and productive birding. Possum Kingdom's blue-green water and limestone bluffs give it a character no other north-central Texas reservoir matches. Possum Kingdom State Park is five miles, Hell's Gate eight, and Palo Pinto Mountains State Park twelve. Summer lake season drives demand. Reserve well ahead.
