Carmine, TX

Round Top-Carmine RV Park

57 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Round Top-Carmine RV Park in Carmine, TX, offers 50 full-hookup pull-through RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 50 feet. Every site is a pull-through, so nothing needs unhitching, and the park is rated big rig friendly. If you booked here before, note the name change: this was Dixieland RV Park. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a dump station, WiFi, and fire pit rentals cover the practical side, with RV rentals and tent sites for guests arriving without a rig. Overnight and weekly stays book online; monthly arrangements go through the office by phone. Pets are welcome, with a fenced dog park. The property spreads across 15 acres kept in golf-course condition, with two catch-and-release ponds for fishing and live music on the calendar. Carmine sits seven miles from historic Round Top in the Texas Hill Country's eastern edge — a town of a few hundred that swells enormously twice a year for the Round Top Antiques Fair, with shops, dining, and live music in between. Rates for nightly, weekly, and monthly stays are on the booking page. Antiques Fair weeks book out a year ahead — if you're coming for spring or fall show, reserve as early as the park will take it.

Palestine, TX

Rustic Pine RV Park

10 Tent Sites

Rustic Pine RV Park in Palestine, TX, offers RV sites alongside 10 tent sites and cabins. This is a 55+ community, rated big rig friendly. Contact the park for site count, hookups, amp service, and maximum rig length, since those specifics aren't published here. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a clubhouse cover the practical side. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. A pond fills the grounds, with birding and genuinely dark East Texas sky for stargazing. The mature pine canopy is the real amenity — natural shade and the resinous quiet that comes with it. Palestine sits in Anderson County, the heart of East Texas timber country, surrounded by the loblolly and longleaf pines that gave the region its name. The park rests right on the city limit boundary, which means the quiet of being outside town with the conveniences of being close to it — including the Texas State Railroad and the Dogwood Trails. Rates for monthly and seasonal stays are on the booking page. Confirm the 55+ requirement and your rig's fit before reserving.

Rusk, TX

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.

Krause Springs

18 RV Sites, 6 Tent Sites

Krause Springs in Spicewood, Texas, offers 18 RV sites and six tent sites on a 115-acre Hill Country property fed by 32 natural springs, with 20, 30, and 50-amp water-and-electric service and rigs accepted to 40 feet, behind a gated entrance. A single back-in category joins a spring-fed pool, natural swimming holes, walking trails, and a butterfly garden. Eighteen back-in sites carry water and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet, with picnic tables and BBQ pits. Two things to plan around: sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station, and the 40-foot cap rules out larger coaches. Six tent sites round out the lodging. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and a pavilion handle the practical side. Two policies to know before you book: the gates close at 8pm with no exceptions, and pets are not permitted at the park. The springs are the entire draw. Thirty-two of them feed both a manmade swimming pool and a series of natural swimming holes shaded by cypress, with a waterfall and grotto that draw visitors from across Central Texas. Walking trails, hiking, fishing, and genuinely good stargazing fill the rest. The Krause family has owned the property in Burnet County for more than five decades, and it remains one of the Hill Country's most beloved and most enduring swimming destinations — Lake Travis, Marble Falls, and Austin are all close. Summer is decisively the season, and the swimming holes fill. Reserve well ahead, and plan your arrival before the 8pm gate closure.
