Top Hosts near TX, United States
Dan and his teardrop are amazing!!! First - Dan - great communication, explained all the parts and best uses for the trailer, as well as any possible issues. Had all possible connectors, made sure everything was working, and that we were comfortable before handing the trailer over. Extremely accommodating when we needed to make changes! Second - Trailer - is awesome! Best sleep we have had camping (and we are glampers!), the microwave came in so handy when cooking, electrical hook-ups and plugs made everything so convenient, and the ceramic heater available to plug in made it comfortable inside while it was in freezing temperatures outside! We look forward to renting again! Also, so lucky this trailer is towable by our Honda CR-V!

How to get to Lake Whitney State Park
The park is on FM 1244 just west of the town of Whitney, roughly 30 miles north of Waco and about 75 miles south of Fort Worth via Interstate 35W and State Highway 22. Drive times are approximately 1 hour from Waco, 1.5 hours from Fort Worth, and 2 hours from Dallas or Austin. Roads to the park are flat to gently rolling with no tunnels or steep mountain grades, but RV drivers should watch for narrow rural shoulders, low-clearance bridges on alternate routes, and strong crosswinds on open stretches near the lake. The nearest major airports for fly-and-rent trips are Waco Regional, Dallas Fort Worth International, and Austin Bergstrom International.
