I-35 RV Park & Campground

6 RV Sites

I-35 RV Park and Campground in Elm Mott, Texas, offers five pull-through RV sites just north of Waco, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 85 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Pull-through categories at both amperages join an outdoor pool, fitness center, pond, walking trails, and on-site fishing guides. Five sites run in 30-amp and 50-amp pull-through categories, carrying electric service, sized to 85 feet. Confirm water and sewer arrangements with the park when you book. Eighty-five feet accommodates the longest coaches with a tow, and an all-pull-through layout means no backing after a driving day. A laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, RV storage, personal mailboxes, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and fitness center anchor the property, with a pond, walking trails, dog park, horseshoes, and on-site fishing guides filling the rest. Planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. The amenity list genuinely exceeds interstate-stop expectations — a pool, a gym, fishing guides, and personal mailboxes at a five-site park tells you this serves extended stays as much as overnight travelers. Elm Mott sits on I-35 just north of Waco, which makes it practical both as a stop between Dallas and Austin and as a base for the area. Waco's Magnolia Silos, the Dr Pepper Museum, the Waco Mammoth National Monument, Baylor University, and Lake Waco are all a short drive south. Demand tracks interstate traffic and Waco's calendar rather than a season, with spring and fall the most comfortable. Reserve ahead for Baylor game weekends, and ask about monthly rates.

Harker Heights RV Park

124 RV Sites

Harker Heights RV Park in Texas offers 124 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet, in the heart of the Central Texas military corridor. Premium and standard back-in categories join pull-through sites, with an outdoor pool, playground, and dog park. One hundred twenty-four sites run in standard back-in, premium back-in, and pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a community fire pit, playground, and dog park filling the grounds. Hiking, biking, swimming, and fishing are all available locally. Pets are welcome. The position serves a specific and steady market. Harker Heights sits on US-190 in the Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood metropolitan region, immediately adjacent to Fort Cavazos — which means military families in transit, contractors on assignment, and visitors to the post make up a substantial share of guests alongside travelers moving through Central Texas. The commercial spine of Harker Heights is within walking or short driving distance, so groceries, dining, and services are close. Demand runs year-round rather than seasonally, tracking post activity, graduations, and change-of-station cycles more than tourism. Reserve ahead for graduation weekends and holiday periods, and call about extended-stay rates if you are here on assignment.

Ennis Luxury RV Resort

Twenty-eight miles south of Dallas along Interstate 45, Ennis Luxury RV Resort delivers exactly the experience the name promises: one hundred fully paved sites with granite and turf finishes, resort-quality amenities, and a level of polish that sets a clear standard in the North Texas RV landscape. Located in Ellis County near the historic town of Ennis, the resort sits off Exit 251A with convenient highway access and serves travelers heading to and from Dallas, Austin, and every point between. If you've ever compromised on comfort at a highway-adjacent park, Ennis Luxury RV Resort offers a considerably better answer. The resort's 100 sites feature concrete and paved pads with full hookups, accommodating rigs of all sizes with room to maneuver and settle in comfortably. A swimming pool and splash pad handle the summer afternoons, while bocce ball courts add a more leisurely competitive option. The dog park gives four-legged travelers their own dedicated space, and laundry facilities, a resort clubhouse, and a full-service spa ensure that extended stays don't require leaving the property for anything essential. On-site ice, post office services, and off-sale wine add convenient touches that speak to the resort's attention to the small details of a comfortable stay. Paved drives and security cameras contribute to a well-maintained, secure environment throughout. Ellis County is best known among wildflower enthusiasts as the heart of Texas bluebonnet country, and the forty-mile Bluebonnet Trails route—which loops through the countryside on County Road 425 and surrounding back roads—draws visitors from across the state in spring when the fields explode in color. The town of Ennis hosts a popular annual Bluebonnet Trails Festival celebrating the spring season with guided tours, vendor markets, and community events. The Dallas area's full cultural and entertainment landscape is less than thirty minutes north, giving resort guests easy access to professional sports, world-class museums, acclaimed restaurants, and live music venues when the city calls. Ennis itself has a charming historic downtown anchored by a restored depot district and streets lined with late-Victorian commercial architecture. The Ennis Czech Heritage Museum reflects the town's strong Czech immigrant roots and offers a distinctive local history experience worth a few hours. The surrounding agricultural landscape of North Texas takes on its most visually striking character during the spring wildflower season, but the wide-open country carries a particular big-sky quality in every season that many guests find unexpectedly appealing. The proximity to Buc-ee's—the beloved Texas travel institution located just 1,100 feet from the resort entrance—will mean something to a significant portion of the traveling population. Ennis Luxury RV Resort is a year-round destination that draws its largest crowds during the spring bluebonnet season and summer weekends when the pool and splash pad are in full operation. Reservations are recommended throughout the warmer months, and spring weekends during peak bluebonnet bloom can book out weeks in advance. Whether you're passing through on I-45, spending a weekend chasing wildflowers through Ellis County, or using the resort as a home base for Dallas adventures, Ennis Luxury RV delivers the facilities and finish to justify the name. Book your site and experience what a genuinely well-run Texas luxury RV resort looks like.

Republic of Texas Campground

25 RV Sites

Republic of Texas Campground in Comanche offers 25 full-hookup RV sites at the eastern edge of the Hill Country, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Back-in and pull-through 30/50-amp categories join a playground, dog park, showers, and WiFi in genuinely rural Comanche County. Twenty-five sites run in back-in 30/50-amp and pull-thru 30/50-amp categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 60 feet. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple, and both carry the full amp range so any rig plugs in without an adapter. Sixty feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. Restrooms and showers handle the practical side. A playground and dog park fill the grounds, with hiking, fishing, and planned activities besides. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates accessible and suits a quiet country property where the setting is the draw. Pets are welcome. Comanche County sits in the rolling oak and juniper terrain where the Hill Country transitions eastward toward the Cross Timbers — a scenic and genuinely rural stretch that most travelers pass through without stopping. Proctor Lake is close for fishing and boating, Lake Brownwood State Park is within reach, and the small-town square in Comanche has the courthouse and local restaurants that make this part of Texas worth slowing down for. Fort Worth is about two hours northeast. Spring wildflower season and fall bring the most comfortable central Texas conditions. Demand runs steadily rather than seasonally, with hunting season drawing a distinct fall wave. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends.

Cedar Bend RV Park

30 RV Sites

Cedar Bend RV Park in Bertram, TX, offers 30 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 80 feet. Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with site-delivered WiFi. The park is rated big rig friendly, and at 80 feet the sites take the longest coaches — unusual for a 30-site Hill Country property. Laundry, a library, personal mailboxes, and a community fire pit cover the practical side. The mailboxes tell you the park is set up for guests staying months. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. Walking trails, birding, and live music fill the 10-acre grounds, with a state park, boating, and wineries nearby. Bertram sits in Burnet County, where the historic 1912 depot once served the Austin and Northwestern Railroad and still marks the turnaround for the Hill Country Flyer steam excursion out of Cedar Park. Rates for nightly, weekly, and monthly stays are on the booking page. Ask about extended-stay rates and mail service if you're settling in.

Aledo Acres RV Park

73 RV Sites

Aledo Acres RV Park in Aledo, Texas, is a gated adult-only community offering 73 full-hookup back-in sites on concrete pads under mature shade trees, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet. Twenty miles west of Fort Worth, it serves winter Texans, year-round residents, and long-haul travelers wanting distance from Metroplex density. Seventy-three back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 75 feet, on level concrete pads — which eliminates the annual re-leveling that gravel and grass sites require, a real advantage for long-term stays. Site WiFi reaches the property, and a gated entrance controls access. The community format shapes the experience. A clubhouse anchors the social side, walking trails run the grounds, and a dog park serves pets. The adult-only policy creates the quieter, considerate environment that guests choosing a community park over a transient campground are specifically after, and the mature shade trees make a genuine difference through a North Texas summer. Pets are welcome. Aledo sits in Parker County in the pastoral horse country west of Fort Worth, which gives the park its rural character while keeping the full DFW metropolitan infrastructure within reach. A golf course and lake are nearby, with boating close by. The park operates year-round, with the winter months drawing the heaviest seasonal demand as Texans and northern snowbirds settle in for extended stays. Long-term and seasonal bookings carry much of the inventory, so availability for short stays can be limited — call ahead rather than counting on a space, particularly between November and March.

Texas Hills RV Haven

8 RV Sites

Texas Hills RV Haven in Tow, TX, offers 8 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 38 feet. Sites are back-ins carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. The 38-foot maximum keeps this to mid-size rigs. A community fire pit, a library, a playground, walking trails, and cabins are on the property, and pets are welcome. At eight sites this is a small, quiet retreat rather than a resort. The lake is the reason to come: a boat ramp and beach on the property put guests directly onto Lake Buchanan for boating, kayaking, swimming, and fishing, with hiking, biking, and wine tasting close by. Tow sits on the shore of Lake Buchanan in Llano County — the uppermost of the Highland Lakes, a 23,000-acre reservoir filling the widest basin of the Colorado River valley, and home to the largest wintering bald eagle concentration in the Hill Country. Directions matter here: from Burnet, take Highway 29 west to Highway 261, continue to the historic Bluffton Store, turn right onto Ranch Road 2241, and drive exactly four miles. Rates are on the booking page.

One hundred fifty sites accommodate either a tiny home or an RV, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables. The combined designation is unusual and reflects what the property is — one of the most comprehensively developed RV and tiny home communities in the corridor rather than a conventional campground. Cabins round out the lodging. A laundry and business center handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a pond supporting fishing, walking trails, hiking, and a dog park across the 23 acres. The dark rural sky makes for good stargazing, and picnicking areas fill the grounds. Pets are welcome. Elgin sits in Bastrop County between Austin to the west and the Samsung semiconductor facility in Taylor to the north — a position that has made it a significant node in one of the fastest-growing corridors in the country. That drives a substantial long-stay and workforce market alongside travelers. Demand runs year-round rather than seasonally, driven by the corridor's growth as much as tourism. Spring and fall deliver the most comfortable Central Texas conditions. Call ahead for extended stays.

Chandor Gardens, Clark Gardens, Lake Mineral Wells State Park, and Sugartree Golf Club are all close, and Weatherford's courthouse square and peach season are local institutions.
