The Texas Hill country - west of I-35 between US-90 and I-20 is beautiful in the spring, which starts in a couple weeks in Texas.

Headed west, I strongly encourage a visit to Big Bend National Park. My preferred route west is US 90 from San Antonio to Alpine the north to Carlsbad, New Mexico. Not much farther than I-10 but a much better drive.

Another must see I would put on the list for Galveston is Moody Gardens, they have a world class aquarium along with an impressive indoor tropical greenhouse and even a decent paddle wheel riverboat ride on Offats Bayou. It really is a hidden gem on Galveston and even has ample parking and a massive overflow lot so no problem bringing the RV.

As to camp grounds there are numerous nice state park camp grounds in east Texas

In Houston see NASA and just south of there Kemah Park and Galveston. Then head west to San Antonio for the Alamo and everything else we have to offer. If you like to gamble, just outside Eagle Pass is the Kickapoo casino.

Depending on how you are planning to get to NM we always plan to stay at the Wichita Mtn Wildlife Refuge at Medicine Park, OKLA which is just north of Lawton OKLA...

They have a great camp ground called DORIS CAMP around one of the Lakes there and plenty of trails and wildlife roaming free over the whole complex...

Having lived in Wichita Falls TX back in the 60s we would go to this camping site all the time which is around 50 miles North of Wichita Falls... A great get-away for us...
