Wichita Falls has a low-cost, short-stay RV park run by the city. Electricity and water hookups, and dump station. Location is north side of the city, on west side of the freeway, where I-44 ends. Follow the signs to the Texas welcome center.
There is a commercial RV park on the Seymour highway, you get off the freeway onto 5th street and go west, I think it is less than a mile. N side of the road, between highway and Wichita River.
I've stayed at both places, recommend the city operated park for overnights, the commercial park is often full of long term residents and transient work crews, overnight spaces are not often available. Some sites are full hookup, and there are some large pull throughs.
There was a third location advertising as RV park last time I was there, turned out to be a mobile home park in the housing area between the air base and I-44. They are looking for longer term residents that happen to have RVs rather than mobile homes.
All of these places are RV parks, not campgrounds. None of them allow camping. If you want a campground, you will find two campgrounds at Lake Arrowhead State Park, just south of Wichita Falls on US-281. The campgrounds permit camping, and also accommodate RVs. RV sites have water and electricity, dump station in the park. Be aware, Texas has per-person daily admission fees in their state parks, on top of campsite and RV site rental fees.
