Best Campgrounds near Klondike, TX

Camping options in Klondike, Texas focus primarily on established RV parks and city-operated facilities rather than dispersed backcountry sites. Forrest Park and Lamesa RV Parking Area serve as convenient bases in Lamesa, offering basic amenities for tent and RV camping. Several campgrounds in the area feature electrical hookups, water access, and picnic tables, though shade is limited in this arid West Texas landscape. The camping landscape reflects the region's rural character, with modest facilities designed primarily for travelers passing through or workers in the oil and gas industry rather than destination camping.

Road access throughout the region remains straightforward, with most campgrounds situated near highways and major roads. Sites typically offer level, gravel surfaces suitable for RVs of various sizes. "This is Oil Country! As far as the eye can see... and this is basically a field that they've bulldozed and put in full hook ups," noted one visitor about Midland East RV Park. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 100°F, making spring and fall the more comfortable seasons for camping. Most camping areas provide basic amenities with some offering showers and laundry facilities. Cell service remains reliable near towns, though remote areas may have spotty coverage. Many campgrounds operate year-round with no reservation requirements, allowing for impromptu overnight stays.

Coleman RV Park represents one of several free or low-cost camping options in the region. A camper described it as "a great FREE place with 30A electric and water! Felt very safe. Very near town with food and gas options." Other public facilities like Andrews County Chamber of Commerce provide water, electric hookups, and dump stations without charge for short stays. These city-supported camping areas typically limit stays to three days but provide convenient access to local amenities. Reviews consistently mention the practical, no-frills nature of camping in this region, with utilities and basic services prioritized over recreational amenities. For travelers crossing West Texas, these simple but functional campgrounds offer welcome respite along major travel routes.

    Comanche Trail Park Campground

    Several sites at the City Park

    Coleman RV Park

    Nice resting area

    This has lots of room to park. There are some with full hooks and some with just power. There are also ones that don't work. There's lots to do if you have kids. Nice park with fresibe golf and volleyball, and they have horseshoe pits. They have nice shelters with picnic tables and grills. Paved road around the park for walking. Stay a night and was very quiet, and no one bothers you so we felt safe. We'll stop again. It's FREE and they accept donations.

    Coleman RV Park

    It a parking lot with power

    It’s a free parking lot with power for RV. The lot has a slight slope but it’s fine for a night or two. It’s by the main road so there is some noise but its fine works for the night

    Hat Creek RV Park

    Good if you're passing through

    Super bare bones RV park, just a dirt lot with rows of RV spots. It’s right next to an oil facility so there are a lot of workers that stay in this park. We stayed here because we needed showers and laundry and the price with Passport America was good atv$17.50. Even the full price of 35 is decent. We got FHU and a pull through site in the overnight area way in the back. 

    There’s a little playground here, nice showers, and a nice laundry facility. I liked that the laundry had dedicated animal bedding/ oil rig machines so we could wash our dog bedding guilt free. Machines are coin operated, you can get quarters in the office. The office has a nice little store as well, with snacks and beer and basic supplies. There’s free wifi as well. 

    Definitely not a fabulous place to come for fun, but if you’re racing through Texas like we were and need a place to stop for the night this is a great place for it. It’s nice and quiet because everyone is here just to work, it seems. There were many bees and flies clamoring to get into the RV when we stayed here in early December. Good cell reception for attv& verizon. Our poor dogs’ paws were covered in goat heads- we will be buying some dog boots!

    Moss Creek Lake

    Could be nice, but…

    Kind of a strange setup and place. There are lights on one side that stay on all night, opposite of the camping areas. The pay box is very difficult to find, it is by what looks like a house in the dark and has flags on it. There are trash cans and picnic tables with awnings in some places. Pretty quiet, overall.

    Texas RV Park of Big Spring

    Good enough

    Easy enter/exit. Fast check-in. Trash blowing everywhere; dumpster lids need to be secured. Mostly level sites. Good enough for an overnight if you need to dump and take on water, or if not, stay at a rest stop and save your money.

    Coleman RV Park

    Helpful stop with hookups

    This was a nice spot for a night while doing a long drive. It is connected to a city park, with disc golf set up right near by. There are hookups at each parking spot as well as a water and dumping station. We didn’t use any of the amenities, just parked for the night, but the road near by wasn’t too loud and we felt comfortable :)


Guide to Klondike

Camping near Klondike, Texas centers around practical facilities designed for convenience rather than recreation. Located in the flat plains of West Texas where summer temperatures routinely climb above 100°F, most sites feature level, gravel surfaces that offer minimal shade. The region's camping options reflect its position along major travel routes and proximity to oil and gas operations.

What to do

Disc golf courses: Several camping areas connect to disc golf facilities, making them popular for travelers who enjoy this activity. At Lamesa RV Parking Area, campers appreciate the convenient location "across from a playground and on a frisbee golf course. Great find!! On our way to New Mexico," according to Tracee M.

City park amenities: Many camping spots are integrated with local parks offering recreational opportunities. Forrest Park includes "a park with a playground and swings right across the road which was a huge bonus for us as we were traveling with kids," notes Deena R.

Walking paths: Some camping areas feature paved walking routes for exercise. Jill K. mentions that Coleman RV Park offers a "paved road around the park for walking" along with "horseshoe pits" and volleyball facilities for active campers.

What campers like

Free or low-cost options: Many camping sites in the region charge no fees for short stays. At Coleman RV Park, Eric L. found it to be a "fantastic FREE place with 30A electric and water! Felt very safe. Very near town with food and gas options."

Convenient locations: Campers value sites positioned near highways for easy access during long drives. The Andrews County Chamber of Commerce camping area offers "downtown Andrew's Texas for free. Can't beat it. Electric, water and dump up to 3 days," according to John R.

Full hookups: Many travelers appreciate practical amenities despite limited recreational features. Stuart O. noted that Midland East RV Park offers "full hookups, which was nice" though he found the WiFi "essentially useless."

What you should know

Limited stay duration: Most free camping areas restrict length of stay. Raimo J. mentions that Andrews County Chamber of Commerce provides "free electrical and water. Free dump station. Donations excepted," but like most city-operated sites, stays are typically limited to 3-4 days.

Variable electrical reliability: Some electrical hookups may have issues due to maintenance challenges. At Lamesa RV Parking Area, one camper noted that "the electrical has slowly deteriorated" with some sites having "faulty circuit" issues.

Noise considerations: Many camping spots sit near active roads or facilities. Knedd B. describes Comanche Trail Park Campground as having "road noise, no privacy, but it's free!" with "5 sites close together by a main road and the park road."

Tips for camping with families

Playground proximity: When traveling with children, choose sites near play facilities. Abby M. found Forrest Park "a lovely free spot in town" with "plenty of space to walk the dog or play with the kids" and noted that "noise settled down around 8pm and started back up around 7am."

Morning activities: Plan outdoor activities for mornings to avoid afternoon heat. Comanche Trail Park Campground offers facilities like disc golf and playgrounds, though mitchd notes there's "lot of trash around" so morning exploration may provide better experiences.

Safety considerations: Most campers report feeling secure at these sites despite their simple setup. Deena R. mentioned that while staying at Forrest Park, "there is some traffic that passes on the road between the RV spots and the park but nothing that was bothersome throughout the night."

Tips from RVers

Level sites: Most camping areas offer reasonably level parking. Jennifer M. found that Hat Creek RV Park is "a parking lot with power" that "has a slight slope but it's fine for a night or two."

Dump station access: Several locations provide dump stations even when sewer hookups aren't available. At Florey Park, facilities include electric hookups and a sanitary dump, though Jennifer A. warns that restrooms may not always be well-maintained, noting "both mens and ladies had all commodes stopped up and no running water at the sinks."

Overnight convenience: Most sites are designed for practical overnight stays rather than extended camping. Lynn W. describes Coleman RV Park as "one of those great little RV parks offered by some small towns in Texas that are free (donations accepted)" with "12 spots, kinda level, a tad run down but it's in a good area."
