Abilene

We will be travelling to San Antonio and we were wondering if anyone knows of any boondocking around Abilene.... No Wally Worlds please.
This will be around the end of October.:h
  • I found TX to be quite difficult for boondocking as most of the land is privately owned.
  • 60 miles east in Breckenridge , Lake Hubbard Creek . It is way low I know I live on it / but not crowded at all, best place is called Corley's cove or the rocks will be on north side of lake .
  • we have stayed out at Tye, just west of Abilene at the Flying J truck stop. They have or had when we were there a couple years ago, a designated area for RVs.
  • Never stayd there but found this online: Seabee Park at Fort Phantom Hill Lake (City Park). Directions: Take I-20 exit 286C. Go north on FM-600 for about 3.2 mi; turn right (East) onto Seabee Park Rd. Continue on paved road for 0.7 miles.
    Website says you can stay 48 hours. Free. There is another free campground on the same lake but farther from the highway.
    Texas also allows overnight parking at their rest areas (one night only).
    Rest areas are at miles markers 256 and 296 on I-20 near Abilene.
