Mustang Island in the Texas Coastal Bend region offers up an RV beach-lover’s dream come true in Beach RV Park. Beachside living at a full-service RV site within this campground makes it easy to enjoy nearby outdoor recreation activities including kayaking, deep-sea fishing, beach combing, surfing, and local site-seeing. A trolley stop located adjacent to the park also allows for the opportunity to easily access sites and attraction in Port Aransas.
3. Under ‘the Stars at Night…’ at Fort Griffin State Historic Site

Many rural and remote Texas campgrounds are recognized for their “dark skies,” some even qualifying for an official dark sky designation for their lack of light pollution. This allows for RV campers to make the most of stargazing opportunities. A favorite that’s recommended close to Abilene is at Fort Griffin State Historic Site. With monthly, ranger-led night-sky events, the park allows professionals and amateurs alike to scan the heavens for celestial sights you may not otherwise see in brighter locations. An added bonus is that the park was once the site of an 1860s fort and is now home to the official Texas state longhorn herd.
4. Kickapoo Cavern State Park for Some Caving Adventures

Look to Kickapoo Cavern State Park campground for underground investigating opportunities in South Texas. With guided, quarter-mile cave tours close to the campground, as well as the opportunity to view clouds of Mexican freetail bats emerging from Stuart Bat Cave every evening (April to October), your chances to enjoy pastimes such as this on an RV excursion in Texas are quite good. There are also well-marked trails within the park, allowing hikers to enjoy the area while maintaining the protection of local fragile species.
5. The Texas State Railroad Campground for Family-Oriented Fun

In the East Texas Piney Woods, there are many opportunities to have child-friendly family fun close to an RV campground, which can make or break a vacation! The Texas State Railroad Campground steps up to the plate. With a splash pad on site, fishing, shuffleboard, tennis, and a location that’s conveniently close to Rusk Depot (the historic 25-mile railroad between Palestine and Rusk), the kids will have plenty of things to do and places to play while you camp. There’s also the opportunity to book seats on themed train rides over the course of your stay!
