Campgrounds and RV parks near Mertzon, TX

Mertzon sits in Irion County on the Middle Concho River, about 25 miles southwest of San Angelo in west-central Texas. The town is small and rural, and most RV infrastructure clusters east toward San Angelo, which serves as the regional supply hub for groceries, fuel, propane, and RV service. The closest full-service options include Spring Creek Marina and RV Park on Twin Buttes Reservoir, San Angelo KOA Holiday off Loop 306, and Concho Pearl RV Estates on the south side of San Angelo. For public land camping, San Angelo State Park's Red Arroyo Camping Area sits on the South Shore of the lake, closest to town, on O.C. Fisher Reservoir. Travelers heading west along US 67 can also stage at Country RV Park Big Lake in Reagan County. The surrounding Concho Valley is open ranch country with mesquite flats, low mesas, and reservoirs. The area sits near 1,870 feet above sea level and is windy and exposed to clashes between air masses that cause sudden temperature changes. Sites are typically level with mixed sun and shade.
