Overview of campgrounds near Waxahachie
Waxahachie sits about 30 miles south of downtown Dallas along the I-35E corridor in Ellis County, at the southern edge of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The town is known for its Victorian architecture, the 1895 Ellis County Courthouse, and its role as the host community for the Scarborough Renaissance Festival held on a 35-acre site off FM 66. RV travelers use the area as a quieter base for exploring the Metroplex while staying close to Prairies and Lakes region attractions.
Most RV parks near Waxahachie are private, full-hookup properties oriented to long-stay guests, festival visitors, and I-35 travelers. Northside RV Resort and City Limits RV Resort sit on the edges of town, while Rockett RV Ranch and Dallas Hi Ho RV Park serve the north Ellis County corridor toward Dallas. Ennis Luxury RV Resort is a short drive south in Ennis, a common overflow option during peak weekends.
For state-park camping, the closest developed option is Cedar Hill State Park on Joe Pool Lake, roughly 30 miles northwest, which offers water and electric sites plus full hookups on a portion of the loops.
Things to do near Waxahachie
The Scarborough Renaissance Festival is the area's signature draw, running Saturdays, Sundays, and Memorial Day Monday across eight consecutive weekends from early April through late May on a re-created 16th-century English village site. Expect full-combat jousting, more than 20 stages, and over 200 handcrafted artisan shops. Onsite camping is not offered, so most attendees stay at nearby RV parks.
In town, the Waxahachie Creek Hike and Bike Trail passes the historic Chautauqua Auditorium in Getzendaner Park. Downtown offers the Ellis County Courthouse, the Ellis County Museum, and blocks of restored Victorian storefronts. Lake Waxahachie provides shoreline fishing, and Cedar Hill State Park on Joe Pool Lake adds swimming, mountain biking on the DORBA Trail, and two four-lane boat ramps for anglers targeting largemouth bass, crappie, and catfish.

- winter
December - February

Spring is the busiest RV season. The Scarborough Renaissance Festival opens the first weekend of April and closes on Memorial Day Monday, running eight consecutive weekends. Nearby RV parks book heavily on festival Saturdays, and availability tightens as opening weekend approaches. Mid-March through mid-May also brings the region's most comfortable temperatures and wildflower bloom along rural roads, along with the wettest stretch of the year in May.
Summer is hot and humid, with average highs in the mid-90s Fahrenheit and August often the hottest month. RV parks with pools, shade, and 50-amp service are the practical choice. July is among the driest and sunniest stretches, which favors lake days at Joe Pool Lake and Lake Waxahachie.
Fall brings a second sweet spot from mid-October through mid-November, coinciding with the Texas Country Reporter Festival held in downtown Waxahachie. October is the wettest month on average, so plan for occasional storms. Winters are generally mild but windy, with brief hard freezes possible in January.

What to expect at Waxahachie RV parks
Private parks in and around Waxahachie are typically flat gravel or concrete-pad sites with full hookups, 30- and 50-amp service, Wi-Fi, and laundry. Many cater to monthly and extended-stay guests, so short-stay availability can be limited during festival season. Big-rig access is generally straightforward off I-35E, and most parks are on paved local roads.
Cedar Hill State Park runs 350 developed campsites, all with water and electricity, and 150 also with sewer hookups. The main gate operates from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and registered campers receive a combination code for after-hours entry.

Expect strong sun in summer, biting insects near the lakes from late spring through fall, and occasional severe thunderstorms in spring.
