Over night in Northern TX

[Casinojunkie]

I am heading from IA to McAllen, TX area. Will be going thru Paris, TX and would like a reasonable place to hang my head for the night, in that area.
Pulling a 5th wheel and would like electricity, do not need water or sewer.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks, Dallas

Nice sites, backin only.

What is the cost for overnight? Do they have a box to drop fees into?

Fees vary with services. The COE park I use, in Tulsa District, are $16 a day for water and electricity. Half with the right pass, but only if there is someone to record the pass and verify ID. If not attended at the gate, there will be a drop box.

It;s a bit south of Paris, but we stay at Lake Bob Sandlin state park south of I-30 near Mt. Pleasant Texas. It's off the interstate a bit but it has water and electricity.

Just because of your "casinojunkie" handle you might want to see if they allow overnighting.

Choctaw Grant,OK

I think they give new players $10 in casino play each 5 new/5 e-mail. No electric, but if you're just passing thru. :Z

Don't know how close you want to be but there may be a COE campground near by. We found one we really like just south of Texarkana.

There are at least three RV parks between Paris and the Red River. I've not stayed at any of them, because if I hit Paris in the evening, I can get to the other end of the Indian Nation Turnpike, and a selection of Oklahoma CGs, within a couple more hours. Most of my trips through Paris I don't make in the RV, so I stop at a motel.

Depending on your highway coming in, there are a few "parking spot in the field" parks and a state park CG south of Paris. I found the state park CG to be open on weekends only during winter season, but don't know if that means now. For me it was February.

Pat Mayes SP is north on US 271 to Powderly, then west. Cooper Lake SP is south on TX-19 towards Sulphur Springs, turn west on the marked access road before you get to Sulphur Springs. Either lake may also have COE access facilities, but those usually have a shorter season than the state parks.

If you are traveling in that direction Bonham State Park is 40 - 45 miles west of Paris. Did not know your direction of travel but I did remember that state park
