Place to stop along I10

We will be traveling from Destin, FL to Big Bend National Park in Texas and we are looking for a good stopping point between San Antonio and Houston. Any suggestion would be great and thanks.
  • Third recommendation for Schulenberg.

    My preferred route is US-90 through Del Rio to Big Bend. I-10 from San Antonio to Fort Stockton is one of my avoid if at all possible routes. Nothing really wrong with it except for fuel mileage killing grades up and down. I just prefer the more reasonable pace on US-90.
  • All the replies sound fine. It depends on where you are when you need to stop. I would suggest Houston West RV Park in Brookshire, TX if you are worn out after fighting the Houston traffic. Stephen F. Austin State Park in San Felipe is great if you like state parks and can get a spot. It even has full hook ups.
  • You don't say what type of stop but in response to those words used I'll make the assumption it's anything up to and including a overnighter without hookups . In that case for me it would be the exit just before the Columbus exit. Good bbq resturant with a large parking lot. Easy off , easy on and it's OK to overnight there. I've done it. Do a Google earth, it's well defined. You could be on the road early and reach the 410 loop south and catch US 90 and be in big bend same day.
  • X3 on Schulenberg, TX. Small town with everything you need within easy walking distance of the RV Park.
  • If looking for a decent overnight stop, Houston West RV Park is a good choice. We were just there a few days back on our way to Tucson. Level pull throughs, clean, easy on and off of I 10, and friendly staff.
  • Along with Schlunberg RV there's also Columbus RV not too far apart.
  • Schlunberg RV Park was a decent stopover. At the time I was there, 2 nice restaurants within walking distance. Schlunberg, TX.

    Also, Gulf Coast was very nice, west side of Beaumont, TX, but I think that is just a little out of your specified area.
