Fort Stockton, the largest city for a long and lonely stretch of Interstate Highway 10 in West Texas, serves many travelers as a pit stop and place to stock up on supplies. This historic city -- named for the fort that once secured the wild, lawless Trans-Pecos area -- also serves campers as a gateway to the famed Big Bend region. Travelers can choose from five well-maintained campgrounds within Fort Stockton itself.
This spacious facility, named for the Native Americans that once roamed the Big Bend, has the quirky distinction of giant arrows planted in various areas around the grounds. This signature visual effect complements Comanche Land RV Park’s laid-back vibe and convivial atmosphere, which welcomes campers to a convenient location right off Interstate 10, near the Fort Stockton-Pecos County Airport. The campground contains several dozen sites that come with full RV hookups and cable television.
Fort Stockton RV Park, located off I-10, just east of town, offers guests unencumbered views of the West Texas horizon. RV campers can take advantage of pull-through sites that can accommodate any size vehicle. These RV sites come with full hookups, along with 30 and 50-amp electrical service. Tent campers have access to dedicated sites within a comfortable grassy area. Fort Stockton RV Park also offers a swimming pool, private bathroom and shower suites, and a 24-hour laundry. Campers don't even have to leave this campground to get a hot meal, as the on-site Roadrunner Cafe has a daily breakfast menu and seasonal dinner menu.
Fort Stockton’s Parkview RV Park sits at the city’s southern edge, on U.S. Route 285. This family-owned campground provides a comfortable atmosphere with a strong sense of community, thanks to the presence of full-time residents. Campers can rent full hookup RV and tent sites for overnight stays, and also take advantage of free Wi-Fi and laundry facilities. For campers who need to get some business done, Parkview RV Park offers a fax service.
Located at the western limit of Fort Stockton on I-10, Hilltop RV provides a peaceful and well-maintained environment for campground guests. This campground’s RV campsites accommodate large vehicles with pull-through access and full hookups. Guests who want to relax outdoors can pull up a chair and start a fire in Hilltop RV’s sunset fire pit. Hilltop RV welcomes pets with its puppy patch area, and also provides guests with a TV lounge and DVD lending library. Visitors during the warmer months can beat the West Texas heat at the campground’s swimming pool.
The I-10 RV Park in central Fort Stockton provides guests with shaded RV sites, full hookups and the convenience of easy on-and-off highway access. Campers can make use of the campground’s bathroom and shower facilities, along with free Wi-Fi. I-10 RV Park also has rental RVs available, and special rates for long-term campers. This clean and quiet campground has well-maintained gravel roads, and RV campers can enjoy a charmingly rustic atmosphere without the worry of troublesome potholes.
