Camping near Kennedale, Texas
Kennedale sits in southeast Tarrant County, tucked between Arlington, Mansfield, and Fort Worth. That location puts travelers within a short drive of dozens of private RV parks, several large Corps of Engineers reservoirs, and a handful of Texas state parks, all inside the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
Closest to town, Starry Night RV Resort, Lakeview RV Park, and Treetops RV Resort offer full-hookup sites with 30 and 50 amp service, concrete or gravel pads, and easy access to I-20 and US-287. Dallas / Arlington KOA Holiday sits farther east near the Six Flags and Globe Life Field corridor, and Dodge City RV Park rounds out the nearby options for travelers wanting a quieter setting.
For visitors chasing lakes and trails, Cedar Hill State Park on Joe Pool Lake and other Texas Parks and Wildlife sites are within roughly an hour, giving families the option to combine city attractions with shoreline camping on the same trip.
Things to do near Kennedale
The Kennedale base puts travelers within 15 to 25 miles of Six Flags Over Texas, Hurricane Harbor, AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and the Fort Worth Stockyards. Families staying at Dallas / Arlington KOA Holiday are especially close to the Arlington entertainment district.
Outdoor options center on Joe Pool Lake, roughly ten miles west, where Cedar Hill State Park and Loyd Park offer swim beaches, boat ramps, and marked hiking and mountain-biking trails. Lake Arlington sits even closer to town for shoreline fishing.
Day trips within an hour reach the Fort Worth Zoo, the Kimbell and Modern art museums, the Perot Museum in downtown Dallas, and Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose for track-bed fossils and river swimming.

North Texas has a long RV season, but comfort varies sharply by month. Dallas averages roughly 20 days a year at or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, most of them clustered in July and August. Those months are hot enough that shaded sites and strong air conditioning become essential, and afternoon thunderstorms can pop up quickly.
Spring, roughly mid-March through May, is the busiest booking window. Wildflowers peak in April, temperatures are mild, and the metroplex hosts baseball, rodeo, and festival season. It is also the wettest stretch of the year, and severe-weather awareness matters: North Texas sits in a high-frequency tornado corridor.
Fall brings a second sweet spot from late September into November, with cooler nights and lower humidity. Freezing overnight temperatures can happen in Dallas from November through March, averaging about 29 nights per year at or below 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Winter camping is workable with a heated rig, but plan for occasional hard freezes.

How to book campgrounds near Kennedale
Private parks near Kennedale, including Starry Night RV Resort, Lakeview RV Park, Treetops RV Resort, Dallas / Arlington KOA Holiday, and Dodge City RV Park, take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Weekends around Rangers home stands, Cowboys games, and major concerts fill first, so booking four to eight weeks out is smart for spring and fall stays.
Texas state park reservations run through Texas Parks and Wildlife. Cedar Hill, Dinosaur Valley, and Ray Roberts Lake state parks can be booked online or by phone through TPWD, and the booking window opens five months in advance on a rolling basis at 8 a.m. Central Time.
Corps of Engineers and city-run parks around Joe Pool Lake and Grapevine Lake use Recreation.gov or their own portals. Confirm rig-length limits and hookup type before booking, as some lakeside loops are water-electric only.
What to expect on arrival
Most private parks near Kennedale are flat, sunny, and set up for big rigs. Expect paved or crushed-limestone pads, full hookups with 30 and 50 amp service, and Wi-Fi that varies from strong to spotty. Shade is inconsistent, so an awning and a portable fan help in summer.
Traffic on I-20, I-30, and US-287 is heavy on weekday afternoons and around stadium events. Build extra time into arrival plans, and note that check-in windows at some KOA and resort-style parks close in the early evening.
Wildlife is limited to songbirds, squirrels, and the occasional armadillo or raccoon, but insect pressure is real from May through October. Bring mosquito repellent, watch for fire ants at picnic tables, and secure trash. Water at Kennedale-area parks is municipally treated and safe to drink from the tap.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Kennedale, TX
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Kennedale, TX?
RV rental in Kennedale is one of the most affordable ways to explore the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Travel trailers typically start around $70 to $125 per night, Class C motorhomes run $150 to $225 per night, and larger Class A coaches range from $200 to $350 per night. Because Kennedale sits just off I-20 and US-287, hosts often price competitively against Arlington and Fort Worth. For a cheap RV rental in Kennedale, book midweek, target shoulder months like March or October, and consider a towable if you have a capable tow vehicle. Pro tip: browse current listings on RVezy to compare nightly rates, amenities, and reviews side by side.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Kennedale%2C%20TexasWhat do I need to rent an RV in Kennedale?
A standard Class C driver's license (Texas or out-of-state) is all you need to rent an RV in Kennedale. No commercial license or special endorsement is required by the Texas Department of Public Safety for typical motorhomes or trailers. On RVezy, approved drivers are generally 25 or older with a valid driver's license, and your ID is verified securely through the platform during booking. Visiting from abroad? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit. Most first-time renters in Kennedale are pleasantly surprised by how quick the approval process is.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs my RV rental protected if something goes wrong?
Yes. Every RVezy booking in Kennedale includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit I-20 with real peace of mind. The protection plan covers physical damage to the RV, and you choose your coverage tier at checkout, not the host. Multiple tiers are available so you can match protection to your comfort level and budget. Pro tip: review the protection options at checkout and pick the tier that lets you sleep easy under those big Texas stars.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Kennedale RV rental?
Plans change, and RVezy makes it low-risk to lock in your Kennedale RV trip. Cancellation policies are set by RVezy (not the host) and every booking includes a money-back grace period right after you book so you can commit with confidence. Refunds beyond that window depend on how close you are to your trip start date, and major weather events are reviewed case by case by RVezy support. You will see the full applicable terms at checkout. Pro tip: book early to lock in the rig you love, then use the grace period to finalize plans without stress.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Kennedale RV rental?
Yes, and you have plenty of options. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to find pet-friendly RV rental in Kennedale listings where dogs are welcomed by the host. Many local hosts charge a small pet fee, clearly disclosed in the listing. On the road, your pup will love Sonora Park in Kennedale and the off-leash area at River Legacy Park in nearby Arlington. Most regional campgrounds, including the Dallas/Arlington KOA, welcome dogs with on-site pet areas. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm breed or size details so check-in is seamless.
tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/park-information/petsCan the RV be delivered to my campsite or driveway in Kennedale?
Yes, RV delivery in Kennedale is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it is a game-changer if you have never towed or driven a large rig. Many local hosts will deliver the RV directly to area campgrounds like Cedar Hill State Park, Loyd Park on Joe Pool Lake, or the Dallas/Arlington KOA, then level it, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system. Some hosts will even drop it in your driveway for a tailgate near AT&T Stadium or Globe Life Field. Filter by Delivery on RVezy to see which Kennedale listings offer it and review the per-mile delivery fee on each listing. Pro tip: delivery is the easiest way to enjoy an RV camping Kennedale weekend without ever getting behind the wheel.
tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/cedar-hillHow far can I drive my rental, and what about mileage fees?
You have real range from Kennedale. Each host sets a daily mileage allowance (often 100 to 150 free miles per day) with a clear per-mile fee for additional miles, all shown upfront on the listing. Some hosts offer RV rental with unlimited mileage packages, perfect for longer Texas road trips. From Kennedale you can reach Waco in about 90 miles, Austin in around 200 miles, Hot Springs, Arkansas in about 320 miles, and Big Bend National Park in roughly 540 miles. Pro tip: estimate your total miles before booking and ask the host about a flat unlimited-mileage add-on if you are planning a longer haul.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Kennedale%2C%20TexasWhere are the best campgrounds near Kennedale, TX?
You are spoiled for choice. Top campgrounds near Kennedale include Cedar Hill State Park on Joe Pool Lake (about 20 minutes away with water and electric sites), Loyd Park on the south shore of Joe Pool Lake (lakefront sites and shaded loops), the Dallas/Arlington KOA Holiday (pool, cabins, and family amenities), and Lake Mineral Wells State Park about an hour west for a more rustic feel. All welcome motorhomes and trailers and sit within an easy drive of Kennedale. Pro tip: popular Cedar Hill lakeview loops book out fast on weekends, so reserve through Texas Parks and Wildlife the moment your dates are set.
tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/cedar-hillWhen is the best time to take a Kennedale RV trip?
Spring and fall are the sweet spots for an RV trip based out of Kennedale. Mid-March through late May brings highs in the 70s and 80s and the famous Texas bluebonnets along backroads. September through early November is equally pleasant, with comfortable 70 to 85 degree days and fewer thunderstorms. Summers are hot and humid, often in the mid-90s with occasional 100 degree stretches, so plan early morning drives and shaded campsites June through August. Winters are mild, with daytime highs typically in the 50s and 60s, making December and January a quiet, budget-friendly season. Pro tip: book an April trip to catch peak wildflower season across North Texas.
weather.gov/fwd/I've never rented an RV before. Will I be able to handle it?
Yes, and you are in great company. Many guests booking a motorhome rental in Kennedale are first time renting an RV, and every RVezy host provides a hands-on orientation at pickup. They will walk you through driving, leveling, hookups, the propane system, slide-outs, the generator, and waste tanks before you pull away. You can message the host with questions before booking, and RVezy support is available throughout your trip. Prefer to skip driving altogether? Choose a host that offers delivery and setup. Pro tip: start with a Class C motorhome or a 20 to 25 foot travel trailer for your first Kennedale trip. They handle a lot like a large pickup and are easy to park at local campgrounds.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if I have a breakdown or flat tire during my trip?
You are covered. Every RV rental in Kennedale booked through RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so help is just a phone call away whether you are on I-20 near Weatherford, deep in the Hill Country, or pulled over on US-287. Roadside services typically cover towing, tire changes, jump starts, lockouts, and fuel delivery. Your host is also reachable through the RVezy app for questions about the rig itself. Pro tip: take photos of tire pressures and fluid levels at pickup, save the roadside number to your phone, and you will handle any hiccup like a pro.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat are the best RV road trips from Kennedale?
An RV road trip from Kennedale can go in almost any direction and hit something incredible. Head south about 200 miles to Austin and the Texas Hill Country for live music and wineries, or push another 80 miles to San Antonio for the River Walk. Drive west around 360 miles to Palo Duro Canyon State Park, the second largest canyon in the US. Northbound, you can reach Oklahoma City in about 200 miles or Hot Springs National Park in Arkansas in roughly 320 miles. For a longer haul, Big Bend National Park is approximately 540 miles southwest. Heads up: travel to Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals, but cross-state trips throughout the US are generally allowed (confirm with your host). Pro tip: a Hill Country loop through Fredericksburg and Enchanted Rock is the perfect 4 to 5 day intro trip.
tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/palo-duro-canyonHow much should I budget for fuel on my Kennedale RV trip?
Texas typically has some of the most affordable fuel in the country, which makes a Kennedale RV trip budget-friendly. Expect roughly 8 to 10 miles per gallon for a Class A, 10 to 14 MPG for a Class C, and 18 to 22 MPG for a campervan. Towable trailers depend on your tow vehicle, typically reducing a half-ton truck's mileage by 30 to 40 percent. With Tarrant County fuel often priced below the national average, a 500-mile weekend in a Class C might run roughly $150 to $200 in fuel. Pro tip: use the GasBuddy app and fuel up along I-20 at Buc-ee's in Terrell or the Love's near Weatherford for reliably low prices.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Kennedale?
For Texas State Parks like Cedar Hill, Lake Mineral Wells, and Dinosaur Valley, you can book up to five months ahead through the official Texas Parks and Wildlife reservation system. Privately owned parks like the Dallas/Arlington KOA generally take reservations 6 to 12 months in advance and fill quickly for Cowboys games, NASCAR weekends at Texas Motor Speedway, and holiday weekends. For a spontaneous midweek getaway, you can often find a same-week spot at Loyd Park or a Corps of Engineers park on Benbrook Lake. Pro tip: set a calendar reminder for the 5-month state park release window and you will never miss the prime lakefront sites.
tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/park-information/reservationsWhat are driving conditions like around Kennedale?
Driving an RV around Kennedale is very manageable, even for first-timers. The town sits at the junction of US-287 and Kennedale Parkway with quick access to I-20, all wide, well-maintained Texas highways built for big rigs. Watch for two things: rush-hour congestion on I-20 and I-820 between 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m., and spring thunderstorms (March through June) that can bring strong crosswinds, so check the forecast before heading out. Low clearances in downtown Fort Worth and Dallas can be tight for Class A coaches, so stick to the loops (I-820, I-635) when transiting. Pro tip: plan departures before 6:30 a.m. or after 7 p.m. to glide through the Metroplex traffic-free.
drivetexas.org/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Kennedale?
You will find excellent infrastructure. Most campgrounds near Kennedale offer full hookups (30 and 50 amp electric, water, sewer), with dump stations available for the few water-and-electric-only sites. Private parks in the area typically have concrete pads, Wi-Fi, laundry, and pools. Cedar Hill State Park and Loyd Park on Joe Pool Lake have potable water fills, dump stations, bathhouses, and lake access. For dumping outside a campground, several Love's Travel Stops along I-20 offer paid dump access. Cell signal on major carriers is strong throughout the area. Pro tip: top off freshwater before leaving Kennedale, and you will be set even at primitive state park loops.
tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/cedar-hill/fees-facilitiesWhat's included inside a typical Kennedale RV rental?
Kennedale rentals come ready to camp. Expect a full kitchen with a fridge, freezer, stove, microwave, sink, and basic cookware; a bathroom with toilet, shower, and sink; sleeping for 2 to 10 people depending on the rig; air conditioning (a must for Texas summers); heat; and seatbelts for every traveling passenger. Most motorhomes include a TV, and many hosts add Wi-Fi hotspots, generators for off-grid stays, and outdoor speakers as add-ons. Campervan rental Kennedale options are more compact but still include a bed, kitchenette, and often a portable toilet or wet bath. Pro tip: scroll the listing's amenities section and check the included items list. Linens, kitchen kits, and outdoor chairs are often free with the booking.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Kennedale%2C%20TexasWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
Kennedale hosts offer fantastic flexibility. Popular add-ons include linen and towel packages ($25 to $75), kitchen kits, generators ($25 to $50 per day), portable grills, bike racks, outdoor chair sets, and propane refills. Mileage policies are clearly listed (commonly 100 to 150 free miles per day with $0.35 to $0.75 per extra mile), and some hosts offer unlimited mileage upgrades. Pickup is usually at the host's home or storage lot in Kennedale, and many will deliver to nearby campgrounds, AT&T Stadium tailgate lots, or Globe Life Field for a per-mile fee. Pro tip: bundle delivery, setup, generator, and a linen package for a true turnkey trip. You literally just show up with groceries and clothes.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Kennedale%2C%20TexasHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and secure. You pay the full booking total through RVezy at checkout using a credit or debit card; nothing changes hands directly with the host. A refundable security deposit (typically several hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the rig) is held shortly before your trip starts and released after return, assuming no damage or policy violations. Avoid issues by recording a thorough walkaround video at pickup and dropoff, respecting the mileage and generator-hour limits in your listing, and returning the RV with the agreed fuel and tank levels. Pro tip: refill fuel near Kennedale Parkway or at the Buc-ee's in Terrell just before drop-off, then send your host a quick confirmation message.
