Campgrounds near Pecos, Texas
Pecos sits in far West Texas along Interstate 20, in the Trans-Pecos region between Midland and the mountains of the Big Bend country. The town is best known as the home of the West of the Pecos Rodeo, first staged on July 4, 1883, and held annually at the Buck Jackson Arena since 1936. For RV travelers, the area works well as an overnight stop crossing Texas or as a base for exploring the Davis Mountains, Guadalupe Mountains National Park, and Balmorhea.
Most RV parks in town cater to a mix of oilfield workers and travelers, which means full-hookup pull-through sites, laundry, and reliable Wi-Fi are widely available. Horseshoe RV Park, Saddleback Mountain RV Park, Montecito RV Park, and Lion RV Park sit within a short drive of I-20 and the downtown district.
For a more scenic overnight, Balmorhea State Park lies about 40 miles southwest and offers hookup sites next to the San Solomon Springs pool. The park is best known for its large spring-fed swimming pool and is open year-round, with daily visitation capped.
Things to do around Pecos
The West of the Pecos Museum in downtown Pecos occupies a historic saloon and hotel and covers pioneer, ranching, rodeo, and railroad history, with bullet holes from an Old West gunfight still preserved in the walls. Centennial Park next door holds a replica of Judge Roy Bean's Jersey Lily courthouse and saloon.
Summer visitors can time a trip to the West of the Pecos Rodeo, held at Buck Jackson Arena and ranked among the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association's top 40 prize-money rodeos. Balmorhea State Park's spring-fed pool is the region's headline day trip, with clear water suitable for swimming and scuba diving.
Longer drives reach Monahans Sandhills State Park to the east, Fort Davis and the McDonald Observatory to the south, and Guadalupe Mountains National Park to the northwest.

Spring and fall are the most comfortable seasons for RV travel in Pecos. March through May brings warm days and cool nights, with wildflowers along the Davis Mountains loop and steady bird activity through migration. Fall carries mild daytime highs into October before nights cool sharply in November.
Summer is hot. Daytime highs regularly push into the upper 90s and past 100 Fahrenheit, so shaded sites, working air conditioning, and early-morning outdoor plans matter. Summer is also the wettest stretch of the year, with July and August delivering most of the annual rainfall, largely as afternoon thunderstorms. Total precipitation is low overall, around 11 inches per year across the area.
Winter is mild by North American standards but can swing cold at night. Freezing temperatures occur, and light snow is possible on a handful of days. Balmorhea's pool stays open year-round, though the park closes for a short period each spring for annual pool cleaning.
Booking and reservations
Private RV parks in and around Pecos, including Horseshoe RV Park, Saddleback Mountain RV Park, Montecito RV Park, and Lion RV Park, take reservations directly by phone or through their websites. Because Pecos sits in an active oilfield region, weeknight availability can tighten quickly, so booking a week or two ahead is wise for extended stays.
Balmorhea State Park is reserved through the Texas Parks and Wildlife system, with campsite and day pass reservations available up to one month in advance. Day passes are strongly encouraged for summer weekends, school breaks, and holidays, and often sell out. If a guest does not check in by noon of the day after the scheduled arrival, the rest of the reservation is cancelled, so call the park or TPWD customer service if arrival will be late.
What to expect on arrival
Pecos is a working West Texas town, not a tourist resort. Expect flat, open terrain, dry desert vegetation, and long horizons. Fuel, groceries, and RV supplies are easy to find along Interstate 20 exits, and cell coverage is generally reliable in town but can drop on rural side roads toward Balmorhea and the Davis Mountains.
Private RV parks around Pecos typically offer 30 and 50 amp service, full hookups, and pull-through sites geared to big rigs. Sites tend to be gravel with limited shade, so an awning or portable shade helps in summer.
At Balmorhea, the automated gate is open daily from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. or sunset, whichever comes first, and overnight guests receive a gate code by email for after-hours access.
