The theme of this year’s Guide is Texas: Old & New The Lone Star State celebrates its traditions and heritage, yet is always seeking to embrace new people, ideas, and ways of doing things. The introductions to each region feature a few of many examples of enduring Texas places, events, and pastimes that have stood the test of time.

Our cover features the modern covered wagons at The Vineyards at Fredericksburg RV Park, one of several member parks with this luxurious glamping option. Texas is full of delightful contrasts of old and new, and the parks, attractions, and service providers in these pages will help you find and explore them all.

How to Use This Directory

First, consult the map at right to find the Region Number of the area you want to visit in Texas. Each section begins with an introduction to the region, with some suggestions of places to see and things to do. To find a campground, refer to the Region Maps with their locations (and listing numbers) pinpointed. Or, if you know the name of the campground, find its listing number using the alphabetical Parks Table.

Each section is ordered by listing number, determined by the alphabetical order of the park’s city or town. Every member campground has its own listing with a description and a unique Finder Map that will lead you to the park entrance. Be sure to check under the “Services & Facilities” heading at the bottom of each listing to see if the park offers any or all of the following: Pull-Thrus, Wi-Fi, Cable TV, Cabins, Swimming Pool, LP Gas, Recreation Hall or Group Area, Tent Camping, Glamping Amenities, Electric Vehicle Charging.

The red stars H next to the park names in the directory indicate campgrounds offering a 10% discount off daily rates with the Texas Saver Card. (See complete details on page 25.)

Don’t forget to check out the Big Pullout Map in the center of this Guide. Use the Listing by City to find your favorite campground, or a new one to visit, and use the coordinates provided to locate its city on the Big Pullout Map. Use the FREE Texas Saver Card included in this directory to SAVE $$$ on campsite fees.

East Texas may not have the glitz of Dallas, the hipness of Austin, or the bustle of Houston, but has plenty of attractions for the discerning RV traveler. Nature lovers flock to East Texas to enjoy extensive forests filled with hiking trails and birding opportunities. The region also boasts the largest lakes in the state, perfect for boating, skiing, fishing, and just relaxing by the water. East Texas cities may not be big, but they’re unique, from the Rose Capital of Texas in Tyler to the attraction-filled Aggieland of Bryan-College Station.

RV Station locations are also throughout the region, ready to serve any and all of your travel needs, from supplies and accessories to expert service. You can also upgrade your current RV from our extensive selection of new and preowned motorhomes, fifth wheels, trailers, and more. Come see us in Tyler (www.rvstationtyler.com, 903-881-0140), Cleveland (www.rvstationcleveland.com, 281-432-8178) Nacogdoches (www.rvstationnacogdoches.com, 936-569-0702), and Bryan-College Station (www.rvstationbryan.com, 979-778-8000).

It’s not uncommon for travel trailers to become unhitched and hit another vehicle. After you make sure everyone is OK, you might wonder, “Is the damage to both vehicles covered?”

Collision coverage on your RV should cover you up to the limit of your RV’s policy. Some auto policies include coverage for small amounts of physical damage to the trailer you’re towing, but rarely provide enough for the travel trailer or toy hauler. In fact, most auto policies won’t cover all the toys or the contents of the unit.

To help avoid this, accurately value your RV and make sure you’re covered to replace it. If you have Liability coverage for your car, it should cover the damage to the other person’s vehicle.

A focus on protection

A company that specializes in RV insurance can make sure you have the right amount of coverage. Just one phone call before you hit the road could make a world of difference for you, your RV, and your family.
