Discover El Campo RV rentals for memorable road trips

El Campo is one of the largest cities in Wharton County, Texas and is located in the center of the Texas Coastal Plains, an area of bountiful native grasses. It was a popular location for the Spanish and the Mexicans to graze their cattle. After Texas won its independence, immigrants from Germany, Ireland, and Sweden moved in and continued the cattle trade. El Campo is located on an area where a railroad camp was set up in 1882; the camp was known as “Prairie Switch,” and by the mid-1880s, it had turned El Campo into the largest center for shipping prairie hay in the U.S. It was designated “The Pearl of the Prairie” by local cowboys because the section house lights looked like a pearl from a distance. Cattle intended for shipping to other markets were held at Prairie Switch which soon became known as “the Camp” or “El Campo.” By the beginning of the 20th century, farmers realized that the local soil could grow more than hay and the mainstay crops became cotton, rice, and corn. Oil and gas were discovered here in the 1930s and became the main source of El Campo's economy.

The Great Outdoors

Aransas National Wildlife Refuge began as a remote island when melting ice from continental glaciers raised the sea level; much later, river sediment created barrier lagoons and joined the island to the mainland once again. Today the area is a sanctuary for migrating bird species such as the whooping crane, which in 1941, numbered only 15. The park today consists of marshland, low sandy prairie, and oak woodlands; it hosts more than 400 bird species, turtles, and alligators, and a diverse variety of plant species. Visitors are allowed to hike and bike on the nature trails, go fishing and hunting and enjoy nature and wildlife observation.

Exploring The City

There is lots to see and do when you book a campervan rental in El Campo, starting with a natural history museum. The museum has stuffed versions of some local wildlife displayed in exhibits that replicate their natural environment. Young children are allowed to touch the exhibits, and the staff on hand are friendly and willing to answer questions. The tour ends with some make-believe environments for young children, such as kids pretending to be veterinarians and tending to stuffed animals who may need medical attention. For adults, there is a wine bar where you can sample the local products and maybe even pick up something to have with your dinner. Don't forget that the best part of an RV vacation is hitting the open road, and your El Campo motorhome rental is your chance to do exactly that.
