Discover Houston


Space City, the Energy Capital of the World, Hustle Town - Houston is a city built on seizing opportunities. From humble beginnings in the second half of the 19th century, Houston has rapidly grown, first through the discovery of oil and later by becoming a technology powerhouse, and finally, transforming into the fourth largest city in America.

Renting an RV in Houston, TX, is easy, and one of the best ways to see this fantastic city. Unlike many of the metropolises back east, Houston is known for its wide streets and easily accessible interstate highways.

Set up camp in one of the RV parks in Houston, and you can leave the rental RV behind while you explore the city. The MetroRail is an excellent way to get around town; with numerous light rail lines and dozens of stations, you can easily move between most of the major attractions in the downtown core. Buses provide service to stops farther out, and you can pick up a day pass that allows unlimited rides on both of them.

Families can have fun playing and learning at the Children's Museum of Houston and the Houston Museum of Natural Science, or spend some quality time with critters at the Houston Zoo. Cultural hotspots are abundant around the city. Battleship Texas is moored on the Buffalo Bayou and offers some up-close insight into the city's naval history. Wrangle up the travel crew for a trip to the George Ranch Historical Park and delve into 19th-century cowboy life.

The Great Outdoors

For such a thriving urban metropolis, Houston has a surprising number of great parks. Buffalo Bayou Park is the premier green space in the Houston area, with 124 acres of green grass, expansive trees, and the famous "cistern." Built in 1926 to hold Houston’s drinking water supply, it is now a popular attraction on many of the city’s tours where visitors are permitted to explore the 90,000-square-foot subterranean space.

Terry Hershey Park runs parallel to Buffalo Bayou for about six miles and is the place to go for cycling in Houston. Paved and dirt paths crisscross the 500-acre park, providing an endless number of cycling routes.

Renting an RV in Houston is all about having the freedom to go wherever you want, and an overnight trip to Padre Island National Seashore is the perfect place to go when you want to get out of the city. With powdery sand stretching for miles in all directions and lots of opportunities for camping and kayaking, the seashore is well worth the four-hour drive, especially if you're making the trip in a Houston motorhome rental.

RV Parks in Houston

As with many of the cities in Texas, Houston RV parks are plentiful. Most of them can be found in a ring around the city, near the Beltway 8 ring road. South Main RV Park, Westlake RV Resort, RV Park Agave, and Eastlake RV Resort are all within 15 miles of the downtown area. If you prefer quieter surroundings, Woodland Lakes RV Park and Residence RV Park in the city of Conroe are both good options.

If you’re interested in staying a little farther from town, perhaps closer to the beautiful beaches of Galveston on the Gulf of Mexico, consider one of the campsites at Space Center RV Park or Lazy Days RV Park in League City or Hitchcock, respectively.

No matter your preference, when you book an RV rental in Houston, TX, you’ll find a place with everything you need to create the perfect South Texas camping vacation.

Exploring the City

Sports fans will love having an RV rental in Houston; there's almost always a game to watch. Try a little Texans tailgating or catch an NBA Rockets game. Find a campsite near Minute Maid Park for some Houston Astros RV camping. Sports arenas can also be accessed on the MetroRail line. If you’re more interested in the city's creature residents, the Houston Zoo has a menagerie of 900 different animal species, including white rhinos, African lions, and zebras. The accompanying Kipp Aquarium boasts another 200 species of fresh and saltwater fish along with sea turtles, giant Pacific octopus, and a green moray eel.

A Houston RV camping trip wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Space Center. While NASA launches all of its rockets in Florida, Houston is home to its mission control, astronaut training center, and most of the technical know-how for the US Space Program.

If shopping is your favorite pastime, make a trip out to Galleria Shopping Mall. Park your RV rental in Houston’s Uptown district and explore the seventh largest mall in the United States. Inside, you’ll find hundreds of stores, along with a full-sized ice rink.

Up for a more thrilling adventure? Head 30 miles south of the city to Kemah Boardwalk, home of the exhilarating Boardwalk Beast, a 25-minute speedboat ride in Galveston Bay that'll have your knuckles white and your stomach turning. If you prefer to stay on dry land, take the exciting ride on the Boardwalk Bullet, an old-school wooden roller coaster overlooking the bay.

There’s something for everyone in South Texas, so book a motorhome rental in Houston and start planning your Space City explorations.
