The Great Outdoors

Directly west of the Rainbow’s End RV Park is Lake Livingston State Park, which sprawls across 635 acres along the shores of Lake Livingston. Aside from hiking on the surrounding trails and swimming in the refreshing waters, you can also rent canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards from the boat shed. If you’re an angler, you can cast a line to lure white bass, catfish, crappie, and perch, with three boat ramps, two fish cleaning stations, and a fishing pier among the facilities. Free ranger programs are held throughout the year and geared towards kids, with the opportunity for them to learn kayaking, geocaching, and a variety of crafts.Lake Livingston lies adjacent to the Sam Houston National Forest, a 160,000-acre recreational area that’s crisscrossed by hiking trails and dotted with lakes. It’s home to the longest continuously marked footpath in Texas, the Lone Star Hiking Trail, which extends for 96 miles and offers sightings of endangered red-cockaded woodpeckers and several birds of prey. If you prefer to get out on the water, head to Double Lake, where canoes and paddleboats are available for rent or cast a line to see what’s biting from the shores of Lake Conroe.Camping at Rainbow’s End RV Park can also be used as a base for visiting the Big Thicket National Preserve, which has been recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. It comprises a mosaic of ecosystems that range from longleaf pine forests to swampy bogs and provides habitat for more than 500 vertebrates and around 340 types of grasses. A 40-mile network of hiking trails winds through the preserve while kayakers can launch their vessels to explore the 21-mile Village Creek Paddling Trail. Hunting is also permitted in designated areas of the preserve during particular seasons, with white-tailed deer, waterfowl, and feral hogs all for the taking.

There are also numerous gas stations here if you need to fill up your RV rental and a great choice of eateries that range from fast-food restaurants to an Italian-style grill.Don’t leave Livingston without visiting the Polk County Memorial Museum, which details the people and events that have shaped the region.

Johnson Space Center. See the Mission Control Room where NASA led the Gemini and Apollo space missions, then learn about influential astronauts and NASA employees at the Memorial Grove. You can delve into the natural history of the region at the impressive Houston Museum of Natural Science, which is one of the most visited museums in the United States, or inspire your artistic side while browsing the more than 6,000 years of art history on display at the Museum of Fine Arts.Traveling with kids?

Questions about RVs?

Q.

What type of RV should I choose?

A.

Start by determining how many people are planning to travel with you. Going on a solo-journey? Choose a camper van or a teardrop trailer. Bringing the whole family along for the ride? Consider a spacious Class A or five-wheel.

You’ll also want to consider amenities. For example, if you’re planning to cook on the road, you’ll want a kitchenette. If your campground doesn’t have public restrooms, you’ll want to search RVs with bathrooms. Check out full descriptions of our models to help you decide here.


Q.

Do the RVs have bathrooms?

A.

Yes. Class A’s, Class B’s, and Class C’s and five-Wheels typically have bathrooms. Depending on where you plan on camping, you’ll want to double-check the availability of restrooms if selecting a rig without a bathroom. Nervous about renting an RV with a bathroom? Owners can help show you how to clean the tank or will offer to do it for you for a fee.


Q.

How does check-in work?

A.

Once an Owner approves your RV reservation, you can coordinate a time to pick up your rig or have it delivered to your doorstep or campsite. At that point, the owner will do a key exchange with you and walk you through the RV and answer any questions you might have.
