RV Rental Allen, TX

When it comes to their parks department, Allen is truly second to none. Part of the city’s master plan was to have all residents living within a half-mile of a public park at any given moment, and they have succeeded. Sixty-seven parks accounting for 1,200 acres of communal space and 65 miles of hiking and biking trails are reason enough to trust that Allen takes its outdoor recreation quite seriously. The Cottonwood, Mustang, and Watters hiking and biking trails keep the town connected, so people can freely move around by foot or by bicycle. Aside from the many parks, there is an ice rink, a public golf course, and a public city pool for all to use. Celebration Park is the most interesting of the public parks, due mainly to the fact that it has a wonderful water park, pavilions, playgrounds, tennis courts, and many other fine features.

Wynwood Park and Hidden Cove Park are located on the shores of Lake Lewisville, a pristine man-made lake ideal for summertime swimming and boating. These lakeside parks offer picturesque golfing along the water, marinas, boat launches, and campgrounds for you and your Allen RV rental. Another fun place to visit when you rent an RV is Ray Roberts Lake State Park, which hugs Lake Ray Roberts. Geocaching and backpacking are popular activities at Ray Roberts Lake, where visitors can camp on the white, sandy beaches.

If you don’t mind a bit of a drive in your Allen motorhome rental, there are four incredible national forests to the southeast towards Houston that are absolutely worth your time.

Angelina National Forest and Davy Crockett National Forest both have archaeological sites dating back 8,000 years, and feature large swaths of wilderness glory. Sam Houston National Forest is a great place to go hiking, with the Lone Star Trail and the National Recreation Trail located within it. Hunting, fishing, and camping are all readily available when you bring your Allen luxury motorhome rental to these fantastic public forests.
