We love getting feedback from our campers, but we especially love when someone from the community stops by for propane and takes a moment to share their experience!

A big thank you for the 5-star review! And of course, a shoutout to Ken, who has a knack for making just about everyone feel welcome, whether you're staying with us or simply stopping by to fill up. He’s definitely one of the friendly faces that makes Big Tex, well... Big Tex. 😊

Need propane? We’ve got you covered! Our propane refills are open to the public, so you don't have to be a campground guest to stop by.

We had an absolute BLAST having Trailer Dawgs out at this weekend!

Not only were they some of the sweetest folks, but they sure know how to make a REAL delicious dawg and an even better drink!

Their adorable vintage Shasta trailer brought all the fun, the food was fantastic, and we loved seeing everyone stop by, grab some grub, and enjoy a little Saturday afternoon treat with us!

Trailer Dawgs, thank you for coming out and spending the day with us! We’re already looking forward to having y’all back. 🥰

And to everyone who came out to support them, THANK YOU! Y’all are what makes these little events so much fun.

Until the next dawg day... 😉

🚨 Stop what you're doing!

We haven’t had a long-term opening at Big Tex in MONTHS, but the stars have finally aligned and we have THREE spots coming available!
If you’ve been waiting on an opening, you know these don’t come around often!

SITE 23 | AVAILABLE NOW | $500/month
A long pull-through that can accommodate bigger rigs, or an extra-small trailer for an additional fee. PLUS, getting into the park now means you’ll have first dibs on our future expansion sites when they open for long-term guests!

SITE 21 | SEPTEMBER 1 | $500/month
Beautifully shaded, spacious pull-through, and conveniently located near our largest shaded dog park in East Texas!

SITE 53 | SEPTEMBER 1 | $525/month
A premium back-in with a view of our pond as it fills! It also sits alongside the dry creek that will feed into the pond, giving this site an extra layer of separation and more privacy than a typical site.

And when you stay here, you get more than just a place to park your rig:

✔️ Full hookups
✔️ Water & trash included
✔️ Individual electric meter
✔️ Electricity billed at just $0.129/kWh
✔️ On-site laundry room
✔️ Propane refills available on-site
✔️ Largest shaded dog park in East Texas

If you’ve been thinking about making the move, don’t wait for these to sit around. They probably won’t! 😏

Thinking About Building Your Own RV Park?

We’ve been there, done that, and seen a whole lot along the way. 😉

When we started building Big Tex Campgrounds, we didn’t have investors or someone to hand us a roadmap. We learned by doing, figuring things out as we went, making mistakes, finding solutions, and collecting a LOT of lessons along the way.

Now, we want to share what we learned with others who are dreaming about building a park of their own.

We’re offering one-on-one RV Park Building Consultations where we can talk through everything from finding the right land and working with the county to construction, infrastructure, saving money on materials, and the contacts and resources we’ve personally used.

And you don’t have to have it all figured out before you call us. Whether you’re just starting to dream or you’re already knee-deep in construction, we’re here to help you navigate the road ahead.

Think of it as having a passenger seat partner who’s already driven the road, knows a few of the potholes, and can help you avoid some of the wrong turns. 🚐

Consultations are $300/hour, and our goal is to make that hour incredibly valuable by giving you real-world information from people who have actually built an RV park themselves.

If building an RV park is part of your dream, we’d love to help you take the next step.

Book your consultation here: https://www.bigtexcampgrounds.com/buildarvpark

And whether you book with us or not, we’re rooting for you and your dream!

Ever think of building your own rv park? We offer first hand experience, one on one consultations that will save you time and money!
