8 of the Best Places to RV in Central Texas

June 2026 · 4 min read

One of the best parts of RVing in Central Texas is how much great country sits within a short tow. Here are some of our favorite spots to point the rig.

1. Lake Whitney State Park

Big water, big skies, and shaded sites under an hour from Waco — a local favorite for weekend trips.

2. Mother Neff State Park

Texas’s first state park, just south of Waco. Quiet, wooded, and great for a low-key getaway.

3. Cameron Park (Waco)

Right in town along the Brazos and Bosque rivers — hard to beat for convenience and trails.

4. Dinosaur Valley State Park (Glen Rose)

Walk in actual dinosaur tracks, then relax at your site. A big hit with families.

5. Lake Belton & Stillhouse Hollow

Clear Hill Country water near Temple and Killeen with several lakeside campgrounds.

6. Inks Lake State Park

A gem in the Highland Lakes — swimming, paddling, and classic Hill Country scenery.

7. Colorado Bend State Park

Spring-fed Gorman Falls and wild, rugged sites for those who want to truly unplug.

8. Fort Parker State Park (Mexia)

An easy, peaceful lake escape about an hour from Waco.

Wherever you roam, make sure the rig’s ready first. Book a pre-trip checkup and hit the road with confidence.
