Camping near Fort Davis, Texas
Fort Davis sits in the Davis Mountains of far West Texas, at roughly a mile of elevation. The town anchors Davis Mountains State Park, a high-elevation escape from the lower-lying Chihuahuan Desert valleys around it, and serves as a base for travelers heading to McDonald Observatory and the Fort Davis National Historic Site. Activities in the area include hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, scenic drives, camping, stargazing, geocaching, and birding.
RV travelers typically choose between the state park campground and in-town commercial parks. Main - Davis Mountains State Park is the largest option, with 94 sites, some with full hookups and cable TV, plus primitive and equestrian areas. Closer to town, MacMillen RV Park, Overland Trail Campground, Fort Davis Motor Inn, and Davis Mountain RV Park offer full-hookup sites within a short drive of restaurants, fuel, and grocery basics.
The area is high desert. More than 2,700 acres of mile-high peaks, the highest is 5,600 feet, and rugged plains look out over the surrounding Chihuahuan Desert in Davis Mountains State Park, and elevation keeps summer nights cooler than most of Texas.
Things to do around Fort Davis
The McDonald Observatory is the headline attraction, hosting Star Parties on Mount Locke and Mount Fowlkes under some of the darkest skies in the continental United States. Reservations are essential because Star Parties often sell out, and tickets are purchased through the observatory's official website.
Inside Davis Mountains State Park, visitors can hike or mountain bike the trails, including the 4.5-mile Skyline Drive Trail with views from atop mountain ridges, and the 1.75-mile Civilian Conservation Corps Trail, which leads on to a path that takes you to the Fort Davis National Historic Site. The park's bird blind is referred to as the best little bird blind in Texas, and offers an easy activity for younger kids. Horseback trails, geocaching, and ranger programs round out the options.

Spring and fall are the prime windows for RV travel here. Days are warm, nights are cool, and skies are typically clear. July, August, and early September tend to bring the most rain, though showers generally fall in the afternoon. That afternoon-storm pattern matters for stargazing plans and for hiking at elevation.
Summer daytime highs climb into the upper 80s, but elevation keeps evenings pleasant compared with lowland Texas. September is the month with the most rainfall in Fort Davis, when rain falls for 14.4 days and accumulates 2.64 inches of precipitation, so late-summer trips should build in flexibility.
Winters are cool and dry. In Fort Davis, January is the coldest month, with temperatures averaging a high of 55.2 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 35.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Snow is uncommon but possible, and freezing overnight temperatures at the state park can affect water hookups, so winter renters should plan tank use accordingly.
How to book campgrounds near Fort Davis
Main - Davis Mountains State Park is reserved through the Texas State Parks system. Most overnight camping or lodging reservations may be reserved up to five months in advance, and the five-month reservation window opens at 8 a.m. The park often reaches capacity, so reservations are highly recommended. Bookings can be made online through the TPWD reservation portal or by calling the customer service center.
Private parks in the area, including MacMillen RV Park, Overland Trail Campground, Fort Davis Motor Inn, and Davis Mountain RV Park, are booked directly with each operator by phone or website. For trips built around a Star Party, book the observatory ticket first, then match a campsite to that date.
What to expect on-site
At Davis Mountains State Park, expect a mix of full-hookup RV sites, water-and-electric sites, water-only sites, and primitive areas. Full-hookup sites include sewer, water, and 50-amp electrical hookups, while the water-and-electric sites offer 30-amp service. The park has high water pressure at 90 psi, and the brass fitting on the water tap is a back-flow preventer, not a pressure regulator, so bring a regulator for the RV.
Cell coverage is spotty in the mountains, and grocery selection in town is limited. The Stone Village Market has a wide selection of goods as well as a deli with fresh homemade sandwiches, and Alpine sits about 25 miles south for larger stores. Wildlife sightings, including deer and javelina, are common around campsites at dusk.
