Inez Spring Riverfront RV Park

On 24 acres along the Leon River just off Interstate 20 at Exit 343 in Eastland, Texas—in Eastland County on the rolling Cross Timbers landscape where the Leon River's spring-fed tributaries create the swimming holes, fishing access, and wooded riverside environment that the I-20 corridor between Fort Worth and Abilene has lacked in a quality campground until Inez Spring provided it—Inez Spring Riverfront RV Park offers 79 spacious RV sites including premium pull-through and cliff-side positions with full hookups and 30 and 50-amp service on big rig-friendly level gravel pads, 10 tent sites with picnic tables and fire rings near the spring-fed pool and the riverfront, a 250,000-gallon spring-fed pool open Memorial Day through Labor Day, direct Leon River access for kayaking and fishing, shaded picnic areas with BBQ grills, hiking trails, and wildlife viewing in a riverside park whose combination of spring pool and live river access makes it the most genuinely refreshing overnight on the I-20 Cross Timbers corridor. The spring-fed pool is 250,000 gallons. The river is at your doorstep. All 79 RV sites are full hookup with 30 and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer on level gravel pads—premium pull-through sites accommodate 40-foot coaches, and cliff-side positions provide the elevated Leon River view that the limestone bluff topography creates. The 10 tent sites, including three riverfront positions and eight near the spring-fed pool, provide the non-RV camping alternative with picnic tables, chairs, and fire rings at each site. The 250,000-gallon spring-fed pool—the park's centerpiece amenity—provides the cold, clear swimming that the Texas summer demands in a managed pool environment whose spring water source maintains temperatures that no outdoor pool heated by summer sun can replicate. The Leon River's kayaking and fishing access, the shaded picnic areas with BBQ grills, the hiking trails through the riverside woodland, and the wildlife viewing that the 24-acre property's riparian corridor enables extend the daily activity inventory beyond the pool and the hookup pad. Eastland sits in Eastland County on the Cross Timbers ecoregion's eastern edge, in the post oak, blackjack oak, and cedar landscape that transitions between the eastern Piney Woods and the western Palo Pinto and Callahan Divide's more open terrain. The Leon River drains the Callahan Divide's limestone watershed through Eastland County on its way to Proctor Lake—the Army Corps of Engineers impoundment on the Leon's lower reach provides the lake fishing and boating alternative that supplements the riverfront park's moving-water recreation. Cisco, 10 miles west on I-20, provides the daily service infrastructure and the Cisco Lake recreation area whose small lake and park facilities serve the eastern Eastland County community. Abilene, 60 miles west, offers the regional urban experience with the Frontier Texas living history museum, the Grace Museum's art and history collection, and the Abilene State Park's buffalo pasture and frontier recreation area. The Palo Pinto Mountains State Park, southeast of Strawn, will add to the regional recreation inventory when its development is complete. Inez Spring Riverfront RV Park operates year-round with the spring-fed pool operating Memorial Day through Labor Day in Eastland County's warm temperate climate. The spring and fall months provide the most comfortable conditions for the riverside hiking and the Leon River kayaking that the pool-season summer crowds thin during the shoulder period's quieter weeks. The winter months bring the migratory waterfowl to the Leon River corridor in the duck populations that east-central Texas river systems host from November through February. Reserve your site at Inez Spring and let the I-20 Exit 343 turnoff, the 250,000-gallon spring pool, and the Leon River's Cross Timbers riparian corridor deliver the riverside Texas overnight that the highway's billboard deserves.

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.
