Forrest Park

Forrest Park operates as a city-managed campground within Lamesa's municipal park system, providing free RV parking with hookups for travelers passing through this West Texas community. The facility offers two distinct camping areas: sites near the entrance feature both electric and water hookups, while a secondary area past the restroom building provides electric-only connections. Campers can stay up to four days at no charge, with a $20 nightly fee applying thereafter.

The campground sits adjacent to a public park with playground equipment and includes access to a disc golf course. Restroom facilities remain locked outside park operating hours, typically closing around evening and reopening by morning. Road noise from nearby traffic occurs primarily during daytime hours, settling down around 8 PM. For additional overnight options in the area, Lamesa RV Parking Area provides another municipal camping choice.

Many visitors highlighted the exceptional value of free hookups and clean facilities in a convenient town location. Some noted limited restroom hours and minor road noise, but most found it ideal for overnight stays.

If it’s for free, it’s for me

Lamesa…WOW! What a great thing they have going on with Forrest Park and their FREE rv parking/hookups. We were passing through and decided to stop here for the night. We couldn’t have made a better decision. There are no bells and whistles with this place but if you’re looking for a place to park comfortably for the night, this is it. There is a park with a playground and swings right across the road which was a huge bonus for us as we were traveling with kids. They do accept donations and reservations are not necessary. 4 days free, $20 each night after that. We only stayed one night. There is some traffic that passes on the road between the RV spots and the park but nothing that was bothersome throughout the night. We did not visit the restroom facility so I don’t have anything to review on that. For just a simple place to sleep, I highly recommend this stop!! And free?? Count me in!!

Lovely free spot in town!

Stayed here just a night but what a find! Free camping with hookups right in town. Fantastic AT&T service and plenty of space to walk the dog or play with the kids. Once you enter, you’ll see hookups on your right. These have electric and water. If you continue past the rest room, you’ll see another pull off on the right which has electric hookups only. The restroom was clean but only open during park hours. Noise settled down around 8pm and started back up around 7am. Definitely would recommend to anyone passing through. They do accept donations! Also would recommend swinging by Tin Buck Coffee, very close and very delicious!

Convenient

Isolated and quiet with electric hookups. City park RV hookups are common in this area of the state. Tent campingnia welcome, however, if you frequent a toilet you're out of luck after park hours. The park has standard park amenities, no shower, and has a disc golf course. City accepts donations and there is no standard nightly fee.
