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.

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.

Possum Kingdom RV Resort

77 RV Sites

Possum Kingdom RV Resort in Graford, Texas, offers 77 full-hookup RV sites directly on the lake, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 76 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout.

The Long back-in tier is a straightforward answer for oversized rigs, and 76 feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. The waterfront category is the one to request.

This is the only full-service RV and marina experience directly on Possum Kingdom's shores, which matters on a lake where the water is the entire point. The reservoir's crystalline blue water meets limestone bluffs and canyon-like arms of the Brazos in the Palo Pinto Mountains — scenically the most dramatic impoundment in north-central Texas, with Hell's Gate and the state park close. Summer lake season drives demand hard. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Oak Creek RV Park

44 RV Sites

Oak Creek RV Park in Weatherford, Texas, is a peaceful, welcoming RV community 25 miles west of Fort Worth in Parker County — a property whose easy commute to both Fort Worth and Dallas gives guests the metropolitan access of the DFW Metroplex from a retreat setting in Parker County's peach orchard and horse ranch countryside, where the cutting horse ranches, the historic Weatherford courthouse square, and the Parker County landscape's genuinely rural character distinguish the immediate environment from the suburban development that has consumed most of the Metroplex's southern and eastern flanks. The campground's day-or-lifetime orientation serves both the through-traveler on I-20 and the extended-stay resident who values the practical Parker County location. Well-maintained full-hookup RV sites with the complete daily living infrastructure and the park's welcoming community atmosphere give guests the comfortable practical base for Parker County stays. The campground's easy commute positioning — Fort Worth 25 miles east and Dallas an additional 30 miles beyond — makes it a genuine work-and-travel or long-term residence option for guests whose employment or family connections require DFW metro access alongside a preference for the rural Parker County setting. Pets are welcome. Weatherford's historic downtown courthouse square preserves the Parker County seat's Victorian commercial character in one of the more intact 19th-century Texas courthouse squares west of Fort Worth — the 1886 Parker County Courthouse anchors a square where the independent shops, the Doss Heritage and Culture Center, and the local dining options give the Weatherford visit the specific Texas small-city character that the sprawling DFW commercial corridors consistently eliminate. Weatherford's designation as the cutting horse capital of the world reflects the genuine concentration of National Cutting Horse Association-affiliated ranches and training operations in Parker County — a designation backed by the actual operations rather than marketing aspiration. Lake Mineral Wells State Park and Trailway, 20 miles west of Weatherford in Palo Pinto County, provides the primary outdoor recreation destination in the western Parker County day-trip range — a state park with a fishing lake, mountain biking and hiking on the Cross Timbers terrain, and the 20-mile Trailway rail trail connecting Weatherford to Mineral Wells on the former Rock Island Railroad right-of-way. The Trailway's eastern terminus in Weatherford makes it the most accessible entry point for the Parker County cycling and hiking community that uses the trail for both recreation and the full rail-trail experience from the Fort Worth suburban edge to the Mineral Wells mineral spring history district. Oak Creek RV Park serves guests year-round in Parker County's temperate north Texas climate, where the mild winters attract extended-stay and snowbird guests from the northern plains and the spring and fall seasons deliver the most comfortable conditions for the Parker County countryside exploration that makes the Weatherford area's rural character specifically rewarding. The Parker County Peach Festival in late July celebrates the county's historic peach orcharding industry in a community festival that draws the regional visitor market to Weatherford's courthouse square, and the nearby Peach Barn market stands sell fresh Parker County peaches from June through August directly from the orchard operations. Reserve sites well ahead for the extended winter stay season, when the campground's year-round resident and snowbird community fills the most desirable sites.

Amarillo RV Resort

76 RV Sites, 4 Cabins

On the High Plains of the Texas Panhandle, where Interstate 40 cuts through Amarillo's commercial west side on the path that traces the old US Route 66 corridor, Amarillo RV Resort provides a full-service campground with 178 sites—147 of which are 90-foot pull-through configurations—a layout that serves the cross-country traveler who needs to stay hitched and roll out at dawn as efficiently as it serves the destination visitor who comes to the Panhandle for Palo Duro Canyon, Cadillac Ranch, and the authentic Route 66 heritage that Amarillo maintains better than almost any other city along the old Mother Road. Cottages, a heated pool, a dog run, and free Wi-Fi complete the resort infrastructure for guests who plan to linger a day or two rather than simply overnight. One hundred forty-seven pull-through sites with 20/30/50-amp electric, water, and sewer full hookups accommodate the widest rigs and longest motorhomes without the reverse-and-maneuver process that back-in sites require, and the remaining sites provide full hookups with the same connectivity for guests who don't need the pull-through convenience. Well-appointed cottage rentals extend accommodation options for guests traveling without an RV, and the heated pool, dog run, and community spaces provide the on-property recreation infrastructure for guests spending downtime between Amarillo's landmark attractions. Palo Duro Canyon State Park, about 30 miles southeast of Amarillo, drops 800 feet into the Texas Panhandle's flat plain in a dramatic revelation of stratified canyon walls that earned it the title "Grand Canyon of Texas" and provides 30 miles of hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trails through terrain that the surrounding Great Plains give no hint of from the surface. The Pioneer Amphitheater in the canyon hosts "Texas," an outdoor musical drama that has run each summer since 1966 and tells the story of the Texas Panhandle's pioneer settlement against the backdrop of a 600-foot canyon wall—one of the most dramatic theatrical settings in North America. Cadillac Ranch, Stanley Marsh 3's public art installation where ten Cadillacs are buried nose-down in a Panhandle field along the old Route 66 alignment, stands as Amarillo's most photographed landmark and one of the most-visited free art attractions in America—a monument to the road, the car, and the mythology of movement that Route 66 created. The Big Texan Steak Ranch, Amarillo's legendary 72-ounce steak challenge restaurant and motel complex on East Amarillo Boulevard, has served travelers since 1960. The Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, 15 miles south, houses the most comprehensive collection of Texas and Plains history in the state, and the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame and Museum in Amarillo celebrates the breed most identified with Western cattle ranching culture. The Amarillo area's High Plains climate delivers warm, dry summers and cold winters with the significant wind that the Texas Panhandle's flat, treeless landscape channels with minimal obstruction. Spring brings the most unpredictable weather—including the late-March and April severe weather season that sends travelers to sturdy shelter—but also the wildflower season and the most dramatic sky displays that the Panhandle is famous for. Fall is arguably the most pleasant camping season, with the summer heat gone and Palo Duro Canyon's cottonwood and hackberry foliage adding seasonal color to a landscape that the surrounding Great Plains keep in shades of brown and gold through most of the year.

Lake Buchanan RV and Cabin Resort

69 RV Sites, 12 Cabins

Lake Buchanan RV and Cabin Resort in Burnet, Texas, offers 69 full-hookup RV sites and 12 cabins on the Texas Highland Lakes, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet, open year-round. Waterview, premium, and deluxe categories join a boat ramp, boat docks, beach, outdoor pool, hot tub, and fitness center. Sixty-nine sites run in deluxe, premium, and waterview categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet, with picnic tables. Three tiers keep booking simple, and the waterview category is the one to request. Sixty feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Twelve cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A boat ramp, boat docks, and beach open the lake for boating, fishing, and swimming, with an outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna, fitness center, clubhouse, disc golf course, volleyball, horseshoes, walking trails, a pavilion, and playground filling the rest. Pets are welcome. Lake Buchanan is the largest and most western of the six Colorado River Highland Lakes that stretch from Austin northwest through the Hill Country — a 22,000-acre reservoir with genuinely open water, dramatic bluffs on the western shore, and a winter bald eagle population that draws birders. Burnet is the county seat, with Longhorn Cavern, Inks Lake State Park, and Marble Falls all close and Austin about an hour southeast. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand, with spring wildflowers and mild winters drawing steady shoulder traffic. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.
