Permian Basin RV Resort

117 RV Sites

Permian Basin RV Resort in Stanton, Texas, offers 117 full-hookup RV sites across 75 acres between Big Spring and Midland, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Premium back-in and premium pull-through categories join a standard full-hookup tier, with an outdoor pool, clubhouse, and laundry. One hundred seventeen sites run in full hookup 20/30/50-amp back-in, premium full hookup 20/30/50-amp back-in, and premium full hookup 20/30/50-amp pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 60 feet. Every category carries all three amperages, so any rig plugs in without adapters — a practical touch. Sixty feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. A laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the warm months, with a clubhouse for the rest. The amenity set is deliberately focused, which keeps rates workable for the long stays that make up much of the guest base. Pets are welcome. Martin County sits at the heart of the Permian Basin, the most productive oil field in the world, and that shapes who stays here. Energy workers on rotation, contractors, and professional travelers make up a steady year-round market that most RV parks would envy, and 75 acres gives the resort room to spread out rather than pack sites in. Midland and Odessa are both close, with Big Spring just east. Demand runs year-round and tracks drilling and service activity rather than a tourist season. Spring and fall bring the most comfortable West Texas conditions. Reserve ahead, and ask about monthly rates for extended assignments.

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.

American Campground RV and Mobile Home Park

2 RV Sites, 7 Cabins

Situated in Val Verde County near the southern tip of Texas, American Campground RV and Mobile Home Park sits within close reach of Lake Amistad—a massive reservoir straddling the U.S.-Mexico border on the Rio Grande that ranks among the premier fishing and water recreation destinations in the Lone Star State. The campground's combination of tent sites, cabins, and RV pads alongside its flexible rate structure makes it one of the more versatile accommodation options in the Del Rio area for guests staying anywhere from a single night to an extended month-long visit. The property includes nine cabins and 88 RV pads—some with covered shade structures—accommodating guests across a wide range of site preferences. A swimming pool, full kitchen facilities, coin laundry, large restrooms with showers, cable television, and Wi-Fi in communal areas address the everyday comfort needs of guests on longer stays, and the pet-friendly policy makes the campground accessible to travelers with animals. Daily, weekly, and monthly rates allow visitors to match their lodging cost to the duration of their intended stay without penalty. Lake Amistad is the defining natural feature of the Del Rio area, covering more than 65,000 acres of surface water across the Texas-Coahuila border and supporting world-class bass, striped bass, catfish, and crappie fishing that draws anglers from across the country. The lake's clear water and dramatic canyon topography—carved by the confluence of the Rio Grande, Devils River, and Pecos River—provide a striking visual backdrop for boating and fishing excursions, and swimming beaches along the U.S. shoreline make it suitable for family outings beyond dedicated fishing days. Amistad National Recreation Area, administered by the National Park Service, manages the lake's recreational infrastructure and provides boat ramps, picnic areas, and access to significant Native American rock art sites preserved in the canyon walls along the lake's remote arms. The Val Verde Winery in downtown Del Rio—one of the oldest continuously operating wineries in Texas, established in 1883—provides an evening excursion option with tasting room access and a history rooted in the region's Spanish and Italian immigrant heritage. American Campground is open year-round, with spring and fall representing the most pleasant seasons for outdoor recreation on Lake Amistad. Summer brings intense south Texas heat that makes early morning fishing and water recreation preferable to midday outdoor activity, while mild winters make the campground a viable destination for guests escaping colder northern climates. Reservations are advisable for spring and holiday weekends when fishing tournament traffic and regional visitors compete for available sites near the lake. Val Verde County occupies a transition zone between the Chihuahuan Desert to the west and the Edwards Plateau to the east, giving the Del Rio area a landscape of scrub cedar, prickly pear, and dramatic limestone canyon terrain that extends from the Rio Grande northward into the Texas Hill Country. The border character of Del Rio—connected to Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila by the international bridge—gives the area a bicultural identity that adds cultural texture to visits focused primarily on Lake Amistad's outdoor recreation.

North Llano River RV Park

29 RV Sites

On the clear, spring-fed North Llano River in Junction, Kimble County, where Interstate 10's cross-Texas corridor intersects the wild limestone terrain of the Edwards Plateau at the confluence of the North and South Llano Rivers, North Llano River RV Park provides 1,000 feet of private Llano River frontage alongside full-hookup sites, premium pull-through accommodations with patios and pergolas, a swimming pool, dog park, and the Wi-Fi and propane services that make it the most amenity-complete park on the I-10 Hill Country corridor. The park's river frontage—where Llano River fishing for bass and sunfish, deer and wild turkey watching from the cypress-lined bank, and the cold-water swimming that the Hill Country's spring-fed rivers provide—make Junction's RV camping an experience distinctly its own rather than simply a convenient I-10 stopover. Standard and premium full-hookup sites with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections accommodate rigs up to 70 feet on back-in and pull-through configurations, with premium pull-through positions adding side patios or pergolas for the outdoor living space that Hill Country RV travel is organized around. A swimming pool available through the warmer months, 24-hour laundry, clean restrooms and showers, a dog park, on-site propane with concierge filling service, and trash pickup provide the complete support infrastructure for cross-country I-10 travelers and destination Hill Country visitors. The park sells ice and RV supplies and accepts drive-ins at any time, giving it the practical flexibility that corridor travelers on variable schedules require. The 1,000 feet of private Llano River frontage provides the fishing, swimming, and riparian wildlife watching that makes Junction's RV camping fundamentally different from a highway park-and-plug arrangement. The North Llano River's spring-fed limestone canyon character—clear water over caliche and limestone bedrock, Bald cypress trees shading the gravel bars, and the white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and Rio Grande turkey that the Junction area's ranch land concentrates—creates the genuine Hill Country outdoor experience that the Edwards Plateau's spring-fed river systems deliver at their most authentic. South Llano River State Park, accessible via US 83 south of Junction, preserves some of the most significant wild turkey habitat in Texas alongside the South Llano River's spring-fed swimming holes and the birdwatching that makes it one of the top birding destinations in the Texas Hill Country with more than 250 recorded species—including the endangered Black-capped Vireo and the Lesser Goldfinch concentrations that the limestone canyon habitat concentrates. Fort McKavett State Historic Site, 30 miles east on the middle fork of the Llano, preserves the remarkably intact stone ruins of one of the frontier Army's best-preserved western outposts—a cavalry and infantry fort that guarded the Comanche corridor from 1852 to 1883. Junction's Edwards Plateau climate delivers warm, dry Hill Country summers with cool nights that make the Llano River's spring-fed water temperature—which rarely exceeds 68 degrees even in August—one of the most refreshing swim-and-fish experiences on the I-10 corridor between San Antonio and El Paso. Spring brings the white bass run on the Llano River tributaries and the wildflower season that the Edwards Plateau's limestone meadows generate in March and April in Indian paintbrush, bluebonnets, and the rare endemic wildflowers of the Llano Uplift. Fall hunting season activates the white-tailed deer culture that makes Kimble County's ranch hunting economy one of the most economically significant in the Texas Hill Country, and the cooler October and November temperatures make fall RV travel on the I-10 Hill Country corridor most comfortable.

Nueces River RV and Cabin Resort

78 RV Sites, 20 Cabins, 24 Tent Sites

Nueces River RV and Cabin Resort in Camp Wood, Texas, offers 78 RV sites, 20 cabins, and 24 tent sites on the Nueces River in Real County, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 50 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Full-hookup and partial-hookup back-ins join pull-throughs, with a splash pad and outdoor pool. Seventy-eight sites span back-in partial hookup, full-hookup back-in, and pull-through categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 50 feet, with picnic tables, BBQ pits, cable TV, and site WiFi. The partial hookup option lets self-contained rigs book at a lower rate. Twenty cabins and 24 tent sites round out a broad lodging range. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and splash pad anchor the warm months, with sports courts, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, corn hole, a playground, and a dog park across the grounds. Pets are welcome. The river is what distinguishes this from the commercial Hill Country tubing corridor. The upper Nueces runs through one of the most undeveloped and pristine river canyons in the region, producing natural swimming holes, limestone cliff access, and spring-fed transparency that the heavily visited Guadalupe cannot match. Camp Wood sits at the junction of that canyon and the rugged cedar and live oak country of Real County — genuine Texas backcountry. Summer river season drives demand. Reserve well ahead for warm-weather weekends.
