The Great Outdoors
As Texas' western frontier expanded, so did its need for protection. One of the second line of forts built in the mid-19th century, the historic Fort Phantom Hill is only 20 minutes’ drive away when you’re RV camping at Abilene KOA. Here you'll see the original fort's stone foundations, soaring stone chimneys, and an intact warehouse, among other remaining structures, that rise above the mesquite-dotted plains. Browse the interpretive materials in the visitors' pavilion to learn more about the site.

Get your Abilene camper rental under the shade of pecan and oak trees in Abilene State Park where a swimming pool, lake and fishing pond, and one-mile nature trail (half of which is ADA-compliant) await. The park, encompassing 500 acres, has been a gathering place for families since its inception in the 1930s. Other popular activities here are hiking, biking, and bird watching, all suitable for all ages.

For a generous dose of wildlife, wildflowers, and opportunities for hiking and cycling, head to the San Angelo State Park less than two hours' drive away when you rent a camper near Abilene KOA. Sitting at the confluence of four ecosystem zones, the park teems with biodiversity: prairie dogs, bobcats, and possums are commonly sighted in the area. Even more fascinating is the park's geology. Look closely at the dirt, and you just might uncover a set of footprints belonging to prehistoric Permian vertebrates that roamed this part of the continent long before the dinosaurs did.
