Iron Horse RV Resort

49 RV Sites, 2 RV Rental + Campsite Packages

Iron Horse RV Resort in Weimar, Texas, offers 51 full-hookup RV sites on Interstate 10 halfway between San Antonio and Houston, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet. A lazy river, hot tub, outdoor pool, and horse paddocks and pens make this considerably more than a highway stop. Fifty-one sites run in back-in, pull-through, and pull-through buddy configurations — the buddy sites suiting parties traveling together — all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 70 feet, with site WiFi. RV rentals serve guests arriving without equipment. A general store, boutique shop, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The amenity set is unusual for an interstate corridor. A lazy river and outdoor pool anchor the warm months, with a hot tub and sauna alongside and a recreation center for other hours. Horse stalls and paddocks are available — call the park after confirming your RV spot to arrange them, which makes this a genuine option for travelers hauling horses. A pond supports fishing, with horseshoes, golf cart rentals, and planned activities besides. Pets are welcome. The street address is 2049 Interstate 10, Weimar, TX 78962. Daily and weekly rates vary, so ask about current specials when booking. Weimar sits in Colorado County, 90 miles from both San Antonio and Houston, in the coastal prairie and Post Oak Savanna transition country. Columbus's historic downtown and the Czech and German immigrant heritage of the Colorado and Fayette County corridor are close. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends on the I-10 corridor.

Hill City Horse Stop

30 RV Sites

At 7000 Hill City Highway in Tolar, Texas—in Hood County near Granbury in the horse country of north-central Texas where the Weatherford-to-Stephenville corridor carries the highest concentration of horse farms, quarter horse trainers, cutting horse operations, and equestrian events in the state that the American Quarter Horse Association's Fort Worth headquarters designates as the horse capital of the world—Hill City Horse Stop provides 30 full hookup pull-through RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service alongside a 24-stall horse barn, a full-size lit outdoor arena, a tack room, a round pen, and the laundry facilities that the equestrian traveler specifically needs on a 40-acre property built from the ground up as an RV-and-horse dual-use facility within 60 minutes of Dallas-Fort Worth. The 24 horse stalls and the lit outdoor arena are the amenities that make Hill City Horse Stop specifically useful to the 15-to-20 percent of Texas RV travelers who move with horses and have historically struggled to find campgrounds that accommodate both the rig and the animals at the same address. Thirty full hookup pull-through RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections accommodate the full range of rig sizes from standard 30-foot travel trailers through the longest diesel pushers with horse trailer combinations that equestrian travelers require on the same pad. Pull-through configuration eliminates the backing precision that combined RV-and-horse-trailer setups require at back-in sites. On-site laundry handles the extended-stay practical requirement that equestrian travelers—who accumulate horse-related laundry at a different rate than standard campers—specifically value at a facility that understands the guest's complete itinerary. Twenty-four individual horse stalls provide the covered, enclosed overnight accommodation for horses at the standard stall spacing and construction that equestrian travelers expect from a purpose-built facility. A full-size, lit outdoor arena provides the training and exercise space for horses at Hill City's equestrian facility, accommodating loping, pattern work, and the warm-up training that horses traveling to competitions require before entering a show pen. A tack room for equipment storage and a round pen for isolated training or young horse work complete the equestrian infrastructure. Hood County's horse culture is embedded in the Granbury-to-Stephenville corridor that runs through the property's general region, with the Granbury area's cutting horse ranches, the Stephenville rodeo circuit, and the equestrian communities of Weatherford and Aledo to the northeast concentrating more working horse operations per square mile than any comparable geography in Texas outside the AQHA's Fort Worth metropolitan core. Glen Rose—15 minutes south—provides the Dinosaur Valley State Park and Fossil Rim Wildlife Center access that makes a Hood County camping trip multifaceted for travelers whose itinerary includes both the equestrian and the natural heritage experience. Fort Worth—45 minutes northeast on US 377 and Interstate 820—provides the Stockyards National Historic District's Western Heritage programming, the Kimbell Art Museum's internationally recognized collection in Louis Kahn's masterwork building, and the Bass Performance Hall's performing arts season as the metropolitan cultural anchor accessible from the Tolar base camp. Hill City Horse Stop is open year-round in Hood County's temperate north-central Texas climate. The spring horse show season from March through June and the fall cutting and reining competition season from September through November drive the highest equestrian travel demand through the region. Reserve early for spring show season weekends, book the stalls in advance for the horse count, and let Hill City Highway's 40 acres deliver what the Texas horse country corridor makes available when the RV park and the equestrian facility occupy the same well-designed address.

Lone Ranger RV Park & Lodge

23 RV Sites

In the heart of the Palo Pinto Mountain country of north-central Texas, Lone Ranger RV Park & Lodge brings a genuine sense of character and history to the RV camping experience. Located in the small West Texas community of Ranger, the property features restored 1930s lodges, a resort-style pool with LED lighting, waterfalls, and fountains, authentic vintage neon signs that light up the Texas night sky, an on-site bar and cafe operation with Gulf Burgers and Kemosabe Coffee & Wine Bar, and specialized horse pens that accommodate guests traveling with equine companions. It's a destination with real personality, and that personality is distinctly Texan. Full hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service accommodate a range of rig sizes, while the restored 1930s one-bedroom lodges offer a turnkey alternative with kitchen, air conditioning, and WiFi—sleeping four guests in genuine vintage character that no new-build lodge can replicate. The resort pool surrounded by a large deck with lounge chairs and sunset views is one of the standout features, and the adjacent Tonto's Candy & Ice Cream stand and Kemosabe Coffee & Wine Bar keep poolside refreshments handled. A lobby with a stone fireplace, pool table, board games, books, and WiFi creates a comfortable social gathering space inside, and a community fire pit, wedding venue, outdoor pavilion, and library round out the amenities. Horse pens with dedicated RV hookups serve the equestrian traveling community, a niche this part of Texas serves particularly well. The Palo Pinto Mountain landscape around Ranger provides the rugged, oak-and-cedar hill country scenery that defines west-central Texas at its most appealing. The ridgelines visible from the park have a particular character at dusk—silhouetted against wide Texas skies with the light fading in oranges and reds across the horizon—and stargazing from a dark spot at the edge of the property is outstanding. The community of Ranger carries a fascinating oil boom history from the early twentieth century when a major petroleum discovery briefly made it one of the most talked-about towns in Texas, and the old downtown preserves some of that architectural legacy. Possum Kingdom Lake—one of Texas's most beautiful reservoirs, known for its crystal-clear water and dramatic limestone bluffs—is the primary nearby water destination, easily reachable from the park for a day of boating, swimming, or fishing. Nearby wine and craft beer tasting operations have established themselves in the Palo Pinto country, adding a culinary dimension to the regional outing. Palo Pinto Mountains State Park, the newest addition to the Texas State Parks system, brings additional hiking access, and the broader Fort Worth and DFW area lies within a comfortable drive for city day trips when the mood strikes. Lone Ranger RV Park & Lodge is open year-round and sees its strongest demand during warmer months when the pool, the outdoor spaces, and the proximity to Possum Kingdom Lake combine most effectively. Whether you're traveling with horses, looking for a lodge with genuine personality, headed to Possum Kingdom, or simply searching for a destination in the Palo Pinto country with real character, Lone Ranger delivers something difficult to replicate. Book your site and settle into a side of Texas most travelers never find.
