Howdy!  There are wide open spaces and plenty of land to travel in Texas, so getting off-the-grid is very easy. Dedicated RVers are now starting to play by their own rules when it comes to getting away. Boondocking is a new buzzword for camping in travel trailers outside of traditional RV Parks and campgrounds. Camping in the boondocks allows the adventurous individuals to experience the wild and raw beauty Texas offers.

As your local recreational vehicle dealer, Howdy Ranch RV of Mathis, TX, we cannot wait to hear about the exciting trips you are planning this summer. Here are five boondocking spots for fifth wheels across Texas to ensure your summer vacation is the best yet!


1. Big Bend National Park

This national park is located in Chihuahuan Desert, Texas and offers an incredible view of the Rio Grande. On top of the exquisite views, the Big Bend National Park is one of the least visited and most remote national park in the United States. Big Bend offers visitors the opportunity to hike, backpack and bird watch on popular trails that include magnificent rock formations, the Rio Grande canyons, the mountains of the Chisos and the Chihuahuan Desert. With no electricity, RVers can finally enjoy a night of star gazing with one of the darkest skies in the United States.



2. Scheiner City Park

This city park is located in Junction, Texas and offers a peaceful view of the Llano River. This peaceful opportunity to boondock next to the river allows Rvers the chance to swim, kayak and soak up some summer sun next to the Llano River. The city of Junction offers break taking views and many scenic routes along the Llano River. Junction might be a smaller town, but they offer the boot scooting boogey down at the London Hall if you are wanting to experience small town U.S.A.



3. Magnolia Beach

This beach is located in Port Lavaca, Texas and offers the opportunity to park your trailer on the shores of the bay. There is no need to worry about parking your fifth wheel on the sand because the ground is compact and sturdy due to all the oyster shells. Long runs on the beach, sandcastles and fishing are only a few of the many activities you can participate in during your stay at Magnolia Beach. This destination would be a great place to bring your family-and your dogs!




4. Sam Rose Collins Recreational Park

This park is located in Burkeville, Texas and offers a scenic view of the Toledo Bend. Burkeville borders Louisiana so this RV trip has a diverse list of things to offer to interested campers. From Cajun food to canoeing expeditions to the Sabine National Forest, there is plenty of fun for all ages in Texas and Louisiana. Let’s be honest, just the giant pine trees and the abundance of animals in this part of Texas is breath-taking.




5. North Beach Padre Island National Seashore

This park is practically located in our backyard, Corpus Christi, and offers plenty of activities to do on the coast. From mid-June to August, North Beach offers an experience of a lifetime: Hatchling releases! Alongside this once in a lifetime opportunity, travelers can relax by the beach or pack their schedules with picnics, hunting for seashells, boogie boarding the waves and parasailing.
