Texas State Railroad Campground
55 RV Sites, 16 Tent Sites
Texas State Railroad Campground in Rusk, Texas, offers 55 full-hookup RV sites and 16 tent sites at the historic depot of the only state-owned heritage railroad in Texas, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. A splash pad, lake, clubhouse, and playground sit on a big-rig-friendly property in the East Texas Piney Woods. Fifty-five sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in pull-through and group back-in configurations, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Sixteen tent sites cover simpler camping. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, and WiFi reaches the property. One vehicle is allowed per site; additional vehicles are $5 per night on arrival. On-site recreation suits families staying around the train schedule. A splash pad anchors the warm months, a lake on the property supports fishing, and walking trails, a playground, a clubhouse, and a pavilion fill out the grounds. Pets are welcome. The railroad is the reason most guests book. Its 25-mile steam and diesel excursion runs through the Piney Woods between Rusk and Palestine, and the campground sits at the Rusk depot, the eastern terminus — which means guests can walk to the platform rather than drive to it. The line was built in 1881 to haul lumber and supplies during the East Texas timber boom. In town, the Carnegie Library, the Museum for East Texas Culture, the Howard House Museum, and Veteran's Memorial Park are all close. Excursion schedules drive occupancy here. Check the train calendar first and book your site around it — running days fill well before quiet ones.

The Ouachita RV Park
1 Tent Site
The Ouachita RV Park in Monroe, Louisiana, offers full-hookup RV sites and a tent site just off Interstate 20, with an outdoor swimming pool, clubhouse, laundry, dump station, playground, and dog park. Part of the Streamside Parks family, it is built for genuine big-rig access on one of the most practical I-20 stops in northeast Louisiana. Sites carry full hookups, with a tent site rounding out the lodging. Contact the park to confirm amp service, length limits, and current category availability for your rig — the published site records are incomplete, and a call gets you a straight answer. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and a clubhouse handle the practical side. An outdoor swimming pool anchors the property, with a clubhouse, playground, dog park, billiards, horseshoes, corn hole, and picnicking filling the grounds. The amenity package is well rounded for a highway park — a pool and a clubhouse are more than most interstate stops offer, and the big-rig friendliness is the point rather than an afterthought. Sites are laid out with genuine room to maneuver, the laundry and bathhouse are on site, and the dump station means you leave clean. Pets are welcome. Monroe sits on the Ouachita River in northeast Louisiana, midway between Shreveport and Vicksburg on I-20. The Biedenharn Museum, Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge, and the University of Louisiana at Monroe are all close. Demand tracks interstate traffic rather than a season, with spring and fall the most comfortable. Reserve ahead for holiday travel periods.
