Big Star RV Park
10 RV Sites
Along the North Service Road of Interstate 20 in Big Spring, Texas, Big Star RV Park delivers a complete, well-appointed stop in the open rangeland and mesa country of West Texas—a region where quality full-service campgrounds are genuinely rare and where the Permian Basin's energy industry and the historic oil field landscape stretch across the surrounding horizon. The park's 54 spacious sites, modern facilities, and security-focused design make it one of the most comprehensively equipped RV parks between Abilene and Midland-Odessa, serving both the energy sector workers who populate the West Texas highway corridor and the cross-country travelers using I-20 as their trans-Texas route.
All 54 sites feature full hookups with 20/30/50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections on well-maintained grounds enclosed by an eight-foot security fence that provides privacy and peace of mind throughout the stay. A community pool, game and recreation room, exercise room, and a brand-new on-site laundromat give the property a resort-adjacent amenity level that stands in clear contrast to the utilitarian highway stops common to West Texas. Free Wi-Fi and cable television at every site keep guests connected and entertained during longer stays, and the pet-friendly policy ensures that traveling companions receive the same welcome as their owners throughout the park.
Big Spring's surrounding landscape tells the West Texas story in its most elemental form—rolling mesquite and buffalo grass plains broken by limestone mesas and the rugged terrain of the Edwards Plateau's western edge. Big Spring State Park, visible from multiple points in the city, preserves a scenic mesa above town with hiking trails and panoramic views of the Permian Basin that extend to the Caprock Escarpment on clear days. Comanche Trail Park, a spring-fed urban oasis in the city's south end, provides fishing, duck feeding, and a pleasant green space that locals have used for generations as a respite from the surrounding open terrain.
The Permian Basin's twin energy capitals of Midland and Odessa lie about 40 miles west on I-20, anchoring the petroleum infrastructure and providing a full range of urban services including the Permian Basin Petroleum Museum in Midland—one of the most comprehensive oil history museums in the country—and the George H.W. Bush Childhood Home, preserved as it appeared during his pre-war Midland years. Abilene, about 90 miles east, offers additional cultural depth with the Buffalo Gap Historic Village and Abilene State Park's camping and birding destination along Elm Creek. The Highway 87 corridor north of Big Spring leads through impressive mesa and caprock country toward Lubbock's South Plains.
West Texas winters are mild and clear, making November through February a surprisingly comfortable period for cross-country I-20 travel with Big Star serving as a reliable quality stop in the Permian Basin. Summer brings the intense heat characteristic of the high West Texas plains, though the low humidity makes midday temperatures more bearable than equivalent numbers in the humid South and Gulf Coast regions. Spring and fall represent the most comfortable periods for outdoor exploration of the surrounding mesa country, with moderate temperatures and the occasional West Texas wildflower display transforming the highway corridors in March and April.
