Big Star RV Park

10 RV Sites

Big Star RV Park in Big Spring, TX, offers 10 full-hookup back-in RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. Every site is a back-in carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. The park is rated big rig friendly. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, and a dump station cover the essentials. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The amenity list is unusually complete for ten sites: an outdoor pool, a fitness center, a game room with ping pong, a clubhouse, and a playground, with swimming and biking on the grounds and off-road riding nearby. Big Spring sits along the North Service Road of Interstate 20 in the open rangeland and mesa country of West Texas, where quality full-service campgrounds are genuinely scarce. The historic spring, Comanche Trail Park, and Scenic Mountain are all close. Rates and availability are on the booking page. Ten sites on I-20 in the Permian Basin means demand is steady year-round — call ahead.

Along the River RV Park

36 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites

Along the River RV Park in Capitan, New Mexico, offers 36 RV sites, two cabins, and eight tent sites in the Bonito River valley at roughly 6,500 feet, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full-hookup, water-and-electric, back-in, and pull-through categories are all available. Thirty-six sites run in back-in, pull-through, and water-and-electric configurations, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables. Two cabins and eight tent sites round out the accommodations. A dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and WiFi handle the practical side. One important planning note: for directions, rely only on Google Maps — most other mapping services have the park located incorrectly. On-site facilities are straightforward, with a playground for families and the riverside setting doing the rest. The elevation delivers cool summer temperatures that the New Mexico lowlands cannot, and the Bonito River runs alongside the property for fishing. Pets are welcome. Capitan sits in Lincoln County between Capitan Mountain to the north and the Sierra Blanca ski area to the south, where the Sacramento Mountains' ponderosa pine forest descends to the river. This is Billy the Kid country — the Lincoln Historic District and the sites of the Lincoln County War are close by, and Capitan is also the birthplace and burial site of the original Smokey Bear. The park serves the south-central New Mexico season. Summer draws visitors escaping the desert heat below, and fall brings comfortable conditions for exploring the Lincoln County historic corridor. Reserve ahead for summer weekends.
