Belaire Junction RV Park

15 RV Sites

On the H.K. Dodgen Loop in Temple, Texas—founded by Bell County natives with genuine roots in the Temple-Belton community and positioned at one of the most convenient corridor stops on the I-35 between Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin—Belaire Junction RV Park offers a retro-styled, family-friendly community with full hookups, free WiFi and cable, a pool, splash pad, clubhouse, game room, playground, pickleball and basketball courts, and multiple fenced dog parks in a gated property that takes the standard I-35 layover and turns it into an actual destination stay. The weekly Take-Out Thursday and Food Truck Friday events bring local restaurant vendors onto the property, creating the on-site social energy that distinguishes Belaire Junction from the functional-but-forgettable highway parks that populate the Central Texas corridor. Full hookup sites accommodate big rigs with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer service alongside cable TV, WiFi, and the concrete infrastructure that supports extended stays in the Texas heat. Two laundry facilities and private restrooms and showers support multi-night and weekly guests. A pond on the property provides the immediate wildlife-watching and light fishing opportunity that many long-stay guests discover, and a recreation center, game room, and community fire pit extend the on-site activity options beyond the pool and splash pad. The gated entry provides the security that full-time and working RV travelers prioritize in a park with easy highway access. Temple sits in Bell County in Central Texas at the geographic center of the triangle formed by Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio—a position that makes it one of the most traveled stretches of highway in the state and simultaneously one of the most underappreciated stops for travelers who look past the highway exits. The city's history as a railroad town and the medical center anchored by Baylor Scott & White's flagship campus give it a civic character distinct from the bedroom communities that populate much of the I-35 corridor. The surrounding Bell County landscape transitions between the limestone Hill Country to the west and the blackland prairie that stretches east toward the Brazos River. Belton Lake, impounded on the Leon River in Bell County just a few miles from the park, provides the primary outdoor recreation anchor for the Temple-Belton area—a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reservoir with 110 miles of shoreline, public boat ramps, swim beaches, and the bass and catfish fishing that the Central Texas reservoir system reliably produces. Stillhouse Hollow Lake to the south on the Lampasas River adds additional boating, fishing, and swim beach access within easy range. The city of Waco, 30 minutes north, offers the Magnolia Market at the Silos, Baylor University's campus and bear habitat, and the National Ranger Hall of Fame. Belaire Junction operates year-round in Temple's mild Central Texas climate, where the I-35 corridor's year-round traffic creates consistent demand from both overnight travelers and the extended-stay community that uses the park as a base for work assignments in the medical, military, and manufacturing sectors that drive Bell County's economy. The Food Truck Friday events are the week's social highlight and a genuine incentive for guests to plan their travel timing accordingly. Reserve your site at Belaire Junction and let Temple's friendly Bell County character prove that the best stop on the Central Texas I-35 run isn't always the one the exit signs are loudest about.

Camp Fimfo Waco

246 RV Sites, 88 Cabins, 8 Tent Sites

Camp Fimfo Waco in Texas offers 246 full-hookup RV sites, 88 cabins, and eight tent sites across more than 200 acres on the Bosque River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 56 feet behind a gated entrance, open all year. Preferred Red Carpet back-in and pull-through categories join premium RV/tent sites with side-specific hookups, alongside a water park, zip line, and laser tag. Two hundred forty-six sites span preferred Red Carpet back-in, preferred Red Carpet pull-thru, and premium back-in RV/tent categories — including sites specified as right-side hookup — all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 56 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Specifying which side the hookups are on is a small detail that saves a lot of hose. Eighty-eight cabins and eight tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Tours are welcome by appointment — call or email [email protected]. A water park and outdoor pool anchor the summer, with a zip line, laser tag, mini-golf, an arcade, jumping pillow, gem mining, sports courts, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, bocce ball, billiards, horseshoes, corn hole, a pond, playground, dog park, and on-site dining besides. The river carries fishing, boating, paddle boarding, canoeing, and kayaking. Two hundred acres west of Waco makes this a destination rather than a stopover. Summer is the season. Reserve well ahead.

I-35 RV Park & Campground

6 RV Sites

I-35 RV Park and Campground sits just north of Waco along the Interstate 35 corridor in Elm Mott, Texas — a genuinely full-service destination that exceeds interstate-stop expectations by a significant margin. While its highway-adjacent location makes it a practical overnight stop between Dallas and Austin, the park's amenity lineup and access to Waco's increasingly well-regarded attractions make it equally compelling as a multi-night base for exploring a city that has emerged as one of Texas's most visited destinations in recent years. The park accommodates large rigs with ample space and full hookup service, and the on-site amenity list goes well beyond what highway campgrounds typically deliver. Bubba's Breakfast Cafe handles morning meals without requiring a drive, and the indoor exercise facility, swimming pool, pet wash station, golf driving range, nature trails, and two fishing ponds create an on-site activity environment where guests rarely feel compelled to leave the grounds — even on days with no specific Waco itinerary planned. The park is pet-friendly throughout, reflecting a design philosophy that treats traveling animals as guests rather than afterthoughts. The park is pet-friendly throughout, and the on-site café eliminates the need to locate breakfast in an unfamiliar city after a late arrival the night before — a detail that experienced road travelers consistently rank among the most appreciated practical amenities any interstate campground can offer. The Central Texas landscape around Elm Mott and Waco occupies the Brazos River valley in a stretch where the Hill Country's character begins to assert itself in the limestone terrain beneath the grasslands. The Brazos River corridor through Waco and Cameron Park provides some of the most accessible nature recreation in central Texas, with trails threading through riparian woodland and over limestone bluffs that frame the river in ways that surprise visitors expecting generic Texas flatland. Waco's attraction lineup has expanded dramatically in the years since HGTV's Fixer Upper elevated the city's profile nationally. Magnolia Market at the Silos, the retail and culinary complex built by Chip and Joanna Gaines, has become one of the most visited sites in Texas and warrants at least a half-day. The Waco Mammoth National Monument preserves a remarkable fossil site where the world's largest discovery of Pleistocene mammoths was unearthed — the interpretive shelter over the excavation site puts visitors directly above bones still embedded in the earth. The Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum, Cameron Park Zoo along the Brazos River, and Hawaiian Falls waterpark add further depth to a Waco day-trip calendar that can easily sustain three or four days of varied exploration. I-35 RV Park operates year-round, with the spring and fall seasons offering the most comfortable temperatures for Waco's mix of outdoor monuments and walking-based attractions. Summer stays are comfortable in the park's shaded sites with the pool as a practical midday retreat. Reserve ahead for Baylor University football weekends in the fall, when McLane Stadium fills and accommodation demand across the Waco area intensifies quickly.

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.

Cosmic Duck RV Park

22 RV Sites

Cosmic Duck RV Park in Rockdale, Texas, offers a friendly, no-frills RV camping experience in Milam County's central Texas agricultural heartland, providing full hookup utility service, a well-maintained community atmosphere, and the straightforward country hospitality that defines small-town Texas camping for guests who value genuine welcome over resort-scale amenity rosters. Positioned approximately 60 miles north of Austin on TX-79 in a part of Texas where the Blackland Prairie's fertile cotton and corn fields define the visual landscape, the park serves a mix of travelers passing through the Austin-Waco corridor, workers in Milam County's industrial operations, and fishing enthusiasts drawn to the pond and the broader central Texas lake country within easy driving distance. The park provides full hookup RV sites with water, electric, and sewer service, a general store for essential supplies, a well-maintained restroom and shower facility, a community fire pit for evening gathering, and a dog park that accommodates the pets central to most RV travelers' lifestyle. The pond provides on-site fishing access for guests who want to wet a line without driving to a public lake, and the dog-friendly atmosphere and pet washing availability reflect the practical consideration the park extends to traveling pet owners. Dump station access serves self-contained travelers, and the park's compact, community-oriented layout encourages the campground neighbor interactions that traditional small-town RV parks are known for facilitating. Rockdale occupies the Blackland Prairie's northern tier where the rich dark clay soils that produced cotton wealth in the nineteenth century have given way to dryland farming operations and the energy sector infrastructure that increasingly defines rural central Texas economic activity. The surrounding Milam County landscape retains the open, sky-dominated character of the true Texas prairie, where large weather systems are visible from horizon to horizon and the contrast between the broad agricultural flats and the occasional creek-bottom woodland creates the quiet, spacious atmosphere that draws guests seeking relief from Austin's rapidly urbanizing suburban density. Lake Limestone, a 12,700-acre reservoir on the Navasota River approximately 25 miles east of Rockdale, provides the closest significant public lake recreation in the region, with largemouth bass, white crappie, and catfish fishing in a reservoir known for consistent year-round production and relatively light recreational pressure compared to the larger central Texas reservoirs serving the Austin market. Rockdale's small-town commercial district provides the essential services—grocery, fuel, dining—that RV travelers need, and the city's historic downtown square preserves enough of the late Victorian commercial architecture from the Texas and New Orleans Railroad era to reward a brief walking exploration. Cosmic Duck RV Park operates year-round in central Texas's continental subtropical climate, with the mild November-through-March winter season attracting travelers who find the Blackland Prairie's quiet character and affordable pricing a welcome alternative to the more heavily touristed central Texas destinations south and west of Rockdale. Spring's wildflower season along TX-79 and the adjacent county roads brings bluebonnets and Indian paintbrush to the roadsides in March and April, providing the seasonal color display that draws visitors to the broader Austin-to-Waco corridor each spring. The park's year-round utility connections and dog-friendly infrastructure support extended-stay guests working in Milam County's industrial facilities.

Lake Limestone Campground & Marina

Situated on the shores of Lake Limestone in Jewett, Texas, in the rolling post-oak savanna of Leon and Limestone Counties, Lake Limestone Campground and Marina offers a full-service lakeside destination in a central Texas reservoir that sits in the geographic center of the triangle formed by Waco, Dallas, and College Station—giving it a practical appeal as a weekend escape from all three metro areas while delivering the fishing, boating, and lake recreation that define freshwater outdoor culture in central Texas. The campground's on-site marina and restaurant infrastructure give it a self-contained resort character uncommon in the private campground market in this part of Texas. RV sites, cabin rentals, and tent camping areas accommodate guests across the full range of lodging preferences, and the campground's water-access orientation shapes its amenity package toward the lake's primary recreation opportunities. A full marina with boat ramp and boat storage, fishing pier, restaurant, and modern restroom and shower facilities serve as the operational spine of the property, while playground infrastructure and the campground's overall family character extend the experience beyond the fishing-and-boating demographic that forms the core of Lake Limestone's visitor base. The on-site dining option gives guests a convenient meal option without requiring a drive to the small towns of the surrounding Leon County countryside. Lake Limestone—an 11,000-acre reservoir impounded on the Navasota River by Limestone County Water Control and Improvement District—is recognized as one of the most productive freshwater fisheries in central Texas, with consistent trophy largemouth bass production that has drawn tournament anglers to Jewett for decades. The lake's habitat structure of flooded timber, submerged creek channels, and vegetation edges supports bass populations that regularly produce fish in the eight-to-ten-pound range, and crappie, white bass, and channel catfish fishing adds recreational variety for guests whose angling interests extend beyond bass tournament-style fishing. Spring bass season from February through May is the lake's peak demand period, driven by spawning activity that concentrates fish in predictable shallower water. The surrounding central Texas landscape places the campground within practical day-trip reach of a cluster of destination cities whose cultural and recreational offerings provide substantial excursion options for guests on multi-night stays. Waco, approximately 65 miles northwest, anchors its tourism draw on the Magnolia Market at the Silos, the Dr Pepper Museum, the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame, and Cameron Park's Brazos River bluff trails. College Station's Texas A&M University campus and George Bush Presidential Library are accessible to the southwest. The small towns of Corsicana and Mexia in the immediate surrounding area provide historic courthouse squares and local dining that represent genuine central Texas small-town character. Lake Limestone Campground and Marina is open year-round, with the central Texas climate supporting boating and fishing access across most of the calendar with only brief winter interruptions during cold fronts. The spring bass fishing season from February through May represents the property's most competitive reservation window, with tournament anglers and recreational fishing groups booking cabin and RV inventory well in advance of the peak spawn period. Summer brings water recreation and family camping demand, and the lake's central Texas position and relatively low regional profile compared to the Highland Lakes chain gives it more available capacity during summer weekends than some better-known central Texas reservoir destinations.

Jellystone Park™ Austin North

78 RV Sites, 3 Cabins, 1 Onsite RV/Trailer, 2 Tiny Houses

Jellystone Park Austin North in Georgetown, Texas, offers 79 full-hookup RV sites and five cabin and tiny house units 30 miles north of Austin, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet. A covered deluxe back-in category and a Rockwood Mini tier join preferred pool-side and pull-through sites, with a lazy river, splash pad, and pool. Seventy-nine sites span back-in deluxe covered, back-in preferred pool, pull-thru preferred, pull-thru standard, and Rockwood Mini categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 75 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two categories stand out: the covered deluxe sites put shade over the pad, which matters through a Central Texas summer, and the preferred pool sites put you next to the water. Five cabins and tiny houses round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, RV storage, personal mailboxes, recycling, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. Check-in is 3pm for cabins and 1pm for campsites, with checkout at 11am. A lazy river and splash pad anchor the summer, with an outdoor pool alongside. A fitness center, jumping pillow, gem mining, billiards, shuffleboard, pickleball, basketball, gaga ball, horseshoes, corn hole, golf cart rentals, a playground, community fire pit, and dog park fill the grounds. Lake Georgetown, Inner Space Cavern, and the historic courthouse square are all close. Summer is decisively the season. Reserve well ahead.

Cedar Bend RV Park

30 RV Sites

On 10 acres in Bertram, Texas—the Burnet County Hill Country community where the historic 1912 Bertram Depot once served as a stop on the Austin and Northwestern Railroad and still serves as the turnaround point for the Hill Country Flyer steam train excursion that departs Cedar Park and carries passengers through the live oak and cedar landscape of Burnet County's Hill Country—Cedar Bend RV Park offers 30 full hookup sites with WiFi, laundry, walking trails, a community fire pit, and dog park in a peaceful, cedar-and-oak setting that positions guests in the convergence of the Hill Country, wine country, and Highland Lakes country that the Burnet County landscape uniquely provides. For Austin-area escapes and Texas road-trippers threading the Highland Lakes chain, Cedar Bend puts it all within reach. Full hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer service on private 10 acres provide the comfortable RV infrastructure alongside WiFi connectivity, coin laundry, clean bathrooms, a community fire pit and picnic tables, and walking trails through the cedar and live oak terrain. The dog park accommodates traveling pets in a Hill Country environment where the surrounding landscape—with its rocky terrain, cedar thorns, and the rattlesnake awareness that serious Texas outdoors travel requires—makes a fenced space genuinely preferable to off-leash roaming. A library and personal mailbox service extend the amenity set for extended-stay guests who use Cedar Bend as a longer-term Hill Country base. Bertram sits in Burnet County approximately 45 miles northwest of Austin and 15 miles east of Burnet in the Highland Lakes corridor where the Colorado River's impoundment chain creates Lake Buchanan, Inks Lake, Lake LBJ, Lake Marble Falls, and Lake Travis in the sequence of Hill Country reservoirs that provide the most concentrated water recreation inventory in Central Texas. The Highland Lakes' bass fishing, boating, swimming, and the limestone-canyon scenery that the Hill Country's geology creates around every reservoir provides the day-trip recreation infrastructure for Cedar Bend guests who want the lake experience alongside the Hill Country character. The Hill Country Flyer steam excursion train, departing from the Cedar Park station and stopping at the historic Bertram Depot, provides one of the most authentically nostalgic Hill Country experiences—a round trip through the oak and cedar landscape aboard vintage 1950s coaches behind a heritage steam locomotive, with the Burnet terminus offering the option to explore the historic Burnet square and the Globe Theatre, the 1935 Art Deco movie palace that hosts live music and film screenings in a restored venue that exemplifies small-town Texas's commitment to its cultural infrastructure. The Texas Wine Trail's Hill Country wineries—concentrated between Fredericksburg, Llano, and Marble Falls—are accessible within an hour from Bertram. Cedar Bend operates year-round in Burnet County's Hill Country climate, where the spring wildflower season from late February through April produces the bluebonnet and Indian paintbrush displays that draw photographers and weekend travelers from across Texas to the Hill Country roadsides. Summer brings the Highland Lakes' water recreation to peak activity, and fall offers the Hill Country's golden light and the comfortable temperatures that make October the most pleasant camping month in the region. Reserve your site at Cedar Bend and let Bertram's Hill Country, the Flyer train, the Highland Lakes, and the Texas wine country deliver the complete Central Texas experience from a ten-acre cedar grove.

Westbrook RV & Tiny House Park

150 RV Sites

Westbrook RV & Tiny House Park in Elgin, Texas, offers 150 full-hookup RV and tiny home sites across 23 acres, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. An outdoor pool, pond, walking trails, and business center serve the closest camping property to downtown Elgin. 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.

Sun Outdoors Lake Travis

55 RV Sites, 9 Cottages

Sun Outdoors Lake Travis in Austin, Texas, offers 55 full-hookup RV sites and nine cottages three miles from the lake, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted up to 90 feet. Premium back-in, premium pull-through, deluxe, standard, and pull-in categories join a pool, hot tub, spa, fitness center, and mini-golf on Hudson Bend Road. Fifty-five sites span standard back-in, deluxe back-in, premium back-in, premium pull-thru, and pull-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 90 feet, with picnic tables and BBQ pits. Ninety feet is exceptional for the Hill Country, where terrain usually limits length, and accommodates the longest coaches with a tow. Nine cottages round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, a business center, recycling, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. The property was formerly La Hacienda RV Resort. An outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, and spa anchor the property, with a fitness center, clubhouse, game room, mini-golf, horseshoes, walking trails, a playground, community fire pit, and dog park filling the grounds. Fishing and swimming run nearby, with planned activities through the season. Pets are welcome.

Yellow Rose RV Park

82 RV Sites

Yellow Rose RV Park in Madisonville, Texas, offers 82 full-hookup pull-through RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet. Every site is a 20/30/50-amp pull-through, with a pond for fishing, a pavilion, laundry, and dump station on the property. Eighty-two sites are pull-through throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 50 feet. A single-category, all-pull-through layout means no backing at any site, no guessing about what you booked, and every guest getting the same spec — a genuinely practical design for a park serving travelers on the move. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. A pond on the property supports fishing, with a pavilion for gathering. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps the rate down and suits the park's role as an overnight and short-stay stop rather than a destination resort. Pets are welcome. Madisonville sits in Madison County at the junction of Interstate 45 and Highway 21, roughly midway between Houston and Dallas in the East Texas post oak savannah. That position is the park's real asset — it is one of the more convenient overnight stops on the busiest interstate corridor in the state, close enough to College Station and Huntsville for a side trip and easy to reach without leaving the highway for long. Demand tracks interstate traffic and Texas A&M event weekends rather than a season. Reserve ahead for football Saturdays and holiday travel periods.

Spicewood RV Resort

101 RV Sites

Spicewood RV Resort in Texas offers 101 full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 80 feet in the Hill Country between Austin and Marble Falls. Waterfront, premium, compact, and standard back-in categories join pull-through sites, with an outdoor pool, clubhouse, pickleball, and a pond. One hundred one sites span compact back-in, standard back-in, premium back-in, waterfront back-in, and pull-thru categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 80 feet. Two things worth knowing: service is 50-amp throughout, so bring an adapter if your rig runs 30, and the 80-foot capacity handles the longest coaches. The compact category gives smaller rigs a right-sized option. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, showers, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the property, with a pond supporting fishing, and pickleball, volleyball, ping pong, gaga ball, sports courts, a clubhouse, pavilion, playground, dog park, and biking filling the grounds. A golf course is nearby. Pets are welcome. Spicewood sits in Burnet County's Lake Travis and Lake LBJ corridor, where the Highland Lakes chain on the Colorado River gives the Hill Country its water recreation and the surrounding country gives it the limestone-and-live-oak character people come for. Summer lake season drives the heaviest demand from Austin, with spring wildflowers and fall bringing the most comfortable Hill Country conditions. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.
