Balmorhea SP is a short way off the interstate. We passed by it and thought it looked like not much of anything. But someone we met raved about it. It has a natural spring, I believe. We were on our way past it going down to Davis Mtns SP, which is quite nice, but it's 60 miles out of your way.
From the time line to the NM border, as far as we could tell, it's just small dusty parking lots with a fair number of longer term guests, oil field workers. We drove on to LC. I'd recommend the KOA in LC if you choose to do that. It's up on a hill overlooking town and feels more like a CG than the others, which are more like parking lots. That's not to say the KOA is way out of the way, it's still conveniently located.
All in all, if I had to choose between driving 600 miles or not, I think I'd stay in Balmorhea. Pronounced "ray" not rheeah" by the person who loved it.
