Discover Athens RV rentals for memorable road trips
Athens is a city in Henderson County, Texas, and it is also the county seat. It has been selected as one of Texas' first certified retirement communities and has the self-titled distinction of being “the Black-Eyed Pea Capital of the World.” The county was established in 1846 but had its boundaries adjusted in 1850, which resulted in Athens being elected the new county seat. The city has many of the same amenities as a larger city while maintaining a small-town vibe.

The Great Outdoors
Purtis Creek State Park was opened to the public in 1988 and is located on property that was purchased for reclamation from private owners in 1977. The area is a good destination for those wishing to fish for largemouth bass, catfish, and crappie; the bass are catch-and-release only, but guests can take home the catfish and crappie. The park is also a good camping destination, and guests can go swimming and canoeing; canoes and paddleboards can be rented, and the campsites include walk-in and primitive hike-in tent sites, and sites with water and electrical hookups. There are also trails where guests can hike or mountain bike. Park your Athens camper rental nearby, and make a day of it, seeing everything the park has to offer.
RV Parks
Guests have their choice of a number of RV parks and campgrounds, and some of these may have mobile homes. Your Athens RV trailer rental is your guarantee of a relaxing and enjoyable vacation.
Exploring The City
Visitors should begin their exploration of Athens with a trip to the East Texas Arboretum & Botanical Society, which is more than just a beautiful display of flowers (as if that weren't enough). The attraction has trails that meander through stands of trees which are home to deer, frogs, and other wildlife, past spring-fed streams, and over a suspension bridge. The park is also home to the Wofford House Museum which replicates life as it used to be in the area. Those who would like to put their feet up should check out the local breweries and wineries, of which there are a few. There is also a performing arts center where guests can take in concerts and plays. Don't forget to put some miles on your Athens motorhome rental while you have the chance; driving an RV is a unique experience, one that shouldn't be missed.

Easy to rent from, pick up and drop off. Was accommodating with a date change when booking and another time when we missed pick up date due to scheduling. Camper was used for lake weekend and was pet friendly.

Gustavo is one of the best hosts I’ve met! He is a quick communicator, polite, and very responsive! The two recliners have been removed and replaced with a small pull out sofa. Other than that, the camper was great!
