Not sure of your starting point, but from NE corner of Oklahoma, Waco is less than a one day drive, whether going through Dallas or trying to avoid it by going through Paris et al.
I've made the trip through Paris many times, not Waco bound, rather on my way to Texas Medical Center via Canton, Crockett, Huntsville et al. Paris is a goo halfway point for that trip, if I'm inclinded to split it, although Hoston to Tulsa is certainly doable in a day.
There are a few interesting looking RV parks between the Red River and Paris if you are coming down the Indian Nation Turnpike. I've not used them, either I was traveling san-RV or the timing wasn't right. While Paris might seem too close for a first day stop on a two day trip, it is probably about halfway, and Pat Mayes Reservoir makes for a concentration of camping locales you won't see again until you get to the other side of the Dallas-Ft Worth Metroplex, i.e. Waco.
And I'm already a day too late.
