Country Living RV Park, Texas Star RV Resort, and Eagles Nest RV Park handle most full-hookup demand, while Live Oak - Lake Mineral Wells State Park and Plateau - Lake Mineral Wells State Park cover state-park camping.

The mix of private RV resorts and a full-service state park makes the area workable for both quick overnight stops off I-20 and multi-night stays with kids.
