If you’ve always dreamed of a lovely vacation in the heart of the Lone Star State, or if you just want to get away for a bit and enjoy the sun, you might want to consider getting an motorhome rental in Columbus, Texas. This small city is surrounded by fields and trees as far as the eye can see and has a famous courthouse, among other attractions. With your travel trailer rental in Columbus, you can also visit Brenham, home of the largest barbecue pit in the world, the small city of El Campo, or the famous antique shops in Round Top.

If you want the noise and crowds of a big city, Interstate 10 will take you to Houston and San Antonio, and Austin is easy to reach via US Route 71, and if it’s peace and serenity you’re after, Sam Houston National Forest is close to your luxury RV rental in Columbus too. Davy Crockett National Forest will also provide you with opportunities to rest and to have lots of fun, and you’d better not forget your bathing suit because the Gulf of Mexico is not far away either.

Discover Columbus


The Great Outdoors of Columbus

Just around the corner from your best RV rental in Columbus, you’ll find Attwater Prairie Chicken National Wildlife Refuge, an area with a very rare coastal prairie along with riparian areas full of native live oaks, sycamore, and some cypress trees. Here you can see the Attwater’s prairie chicken along with hawks and perhaps even a vulture, and on the ground, you might spot coyotes or perhaps a deer or two. There’s also a visitor center packed with information about the refuge and its animals and plants.

In Sam Houston National Forest you’ll be welcomed by gorgeous views and miles of trails running through loblolly and shortleaf pines and hardwood trees. Keep an eye open for a bald eagle or the endangered red-cockaded woodpecker before going boating on one of the lakes in this forest. You can also go sailing and fishing, and depending on the season, there’s hunting too - you’d better not have left your equipment in the Columbus RV trailer rental.

If the lakes in Sam Houston didn’t quite quench your thirst for water activities, at Padre Island National Seashore, you’ll have an abundance of just that. When you’re done with all the swimming, canoeing, and fishing, why not go explore the miles of sandy beaches or just lie down and work on that fading tan. There are other creatures that enjoy the sand too: sea turtles come here to lay eggs and if you’re lucky, you might catch the release of the hatchlings, a truly unique experience.

RV Parks in Columbus

It’s easy finding a lovely spot to park your RV rental near Columbus, TX - there are even two parks within the city itself. At the quiet Columbus RV Park & Campground, you’ll get full hookups as well as access to shower and laundry facilities and Wi-Fi, so that you can stay in touch with your loved ones. There’s a pool too. At Waldo’s Camp, you’ll also get full hookups and showers, as well as proximity to the Colorado River where you can canoe and fish. Not too shabby.

Whispering Oaks RV Park is just a 10-minute drive away from Columbus, and at this park, you’ll not only get full hookups and access to the laundry room but also your own picnic table and fire ring. In the daytime, you can bask in the sun, and at night, gaze at the stars. Should you want some marshmallows for the fire, there’s a convenience store on site.

You can also do your shopping in Columbus where you’ll find grocery stores, plenty of gas stations, and even a Walmart where you might be able to stay the night.

Exploring Columbus

Why not park your camper rental in Columbus and have a stroll around the beautiful city with all its old buildings, one of them being the Stafford Opera House. Although there probably hasn’t been any actual operas on its stage, it’s seen a whole lot of live theater, and that tradition is being kept alive in this uniquely flat-floored opera house. Before the show, you can do some wining and dining in one of the restaurants that can offer you American, Mexican and Chinese cuisines.

If you like fast food better, you can have a quick bite before visiting the Live Oak Art Center, another beautifully restored historic building. Here you’ll find art displays of the kind that are usually found in big cities, and if you have the time, they also offer workshops and art classes for kids. Next door there’s a lovely wine bar with a sophisticated wine selection and local beer, great for a relaxing evening after an adventurous day.

Another one-of-a-kind place that’s well worth a visit is the Santa Claus Museum, with thousands of wonderful pieces, all relating to Old St. Nick. It’s based on what used to be a personal collection and there are music boxes, containers, and dolls as well as ornaments and photos. It doesn’t matter when you visit the museum, it’s bound to get you in a Christmas mood.

For a chance to experience unique landscapes, lots of outdoor fun, and even Christmas in July, go book an RV in Columbus, the small city with a big city personality. Bring the whole family or go on your own, you might want to pack both your sunglasses and your Santa hat!
