Quick answer: The closest Fort Worth Stock Show RV parking is at Will Rogers Memorial Center, where the City of Fort Worth lists 182 full-hookup spaces at $70 a night, first come, first served. For a quieter, lower-cost base, Inez Spring at Exit 343 on I-20 has RV sites from $40 a night, about 1 hour 35 minutes west of Fort Worth.
The Stock Show is one of the biggest winter events in Texas, and RV parking near the barns goes fast. Below are the real options, with sources, so you can pick the one that fits your trip. For more weekend ideas west of the Metroplex, see our weekend RV camping guide for Dallas and Fort Worth, and for other winter events, our holiday RV camping in Texas page.
A Stock Show base camp is an RV site away from the grounds where you sleep, cook and rest between show days, then drive in for the events you care about. It trades walking distance for quiet and a lower nightly rate.
Event listings show January 15 to February 6, 2027. That span is 23 days, which matches the length the show advertises on its own site. We could not confirm the exact dates on fwssr.com when we wrote this, so treat them as unconfirmed and check before you book. For reference, the 2026 show ran January 16 to February 7, per CBS Texas.
The City of Fort Worth runs RV spaces at Will Rogers Memorial Center. Its RV parking page lists:
The page does not describe Stock Show rules, and exhibitors use these grounds heavily during the show. Call Will Rogers at 817-991-8497, which the city lists as a 24-hour line, before you count on a space.
Here is the plain comparison. The on-site numbers come from the city page above. Ours are our posted rates.
| Item | Will Rogers RV lots | Inez Spring, Exit 343 |
|---|---|---|
| Nightly rate | $70 | from $40 |
| Reservations | not accepted | book online |
| Hookups | 30/50 amp, water, sewer | full hookups |
| Distance to the show | on the grounds | about 1 hour 35 minutes |
| Pull-through length | not listed | up to 100 feet |
| Setting | event grounds | Leon River, private kayak launch |
| Monthly option | not listed | $500 back-in, $650 pull-through, plus metered electric |
If you want to be at the barns at dawn every day, the on-site lot wins. If you want to see two or three performances over a week and sleep somewhere quiet, a base camp makes sense.
Grounds admission for 2026 was $15 for adults, $8 for children 6 to 16, and free for children 5 and under, with parking at $20 per vehicle, according to CBS Texas. The grounds were open 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. daily. Rodeo performances need a separate ticket. Prices for 2027 may change, so check fwssr.com.
Be honest with your map. Eastland is about 5 hours 40 minutes from Houston and about 3 hours 40 minutes from Austin, and it is west of Fort Worth, not on the way. So a base camp here suits families who want more than the show: a few calm nights on the river, Lake Leon about 10 minutes away, and Old Rip in town.
A plan that works for many long-distance visitors:
For distances by route, see how far Eastland is from Dallas. If you are coming up from Austin for the long weekend in January, read our MLK weekend getaway guide. Our ranked list of weekend getaways from Dallas has more trip ideas.
The show runs in the coldest weeks of the year. Abilene, our nearest major weather station, averages its first freeze around November 11, per the National Weather Service, and Eastland gets hard freezes and occasional ice in January and February. Bring a heated or wrapped water hose, full propane and warm layers. Check road conditions on I-20 before an early drive to Fort Worth.
At the park you will find a rebuilt shower house, coin laundry and park Wi-Fi. Pets are welcome, leashed, up to two per site. Groups of up to 11 can look at the barndominium; see rates on the booking page.
The show runs about three weeks, and some people stay the whole time. A monthly site can be the simpler choice. Our monthly RV sites are $500 for a back-in or $650 for a pull-through, month to month, plus your own electric metered at 17 cents per kWh and a $200 refundable deposit. The honest total is site rent plus your metered electric, and the drive to Fort Worth is about 1 hour 35 minutes each way.
Event listings show January 15 to February 6, 2027, which matches the 23 days the show advertises. We could not confirm the dates on fwssr.com at the time of writing, so check the official site before you book. The 2026 show ran January 16 to February 7.
The City of Fort Worth lists full-hookup RV spaces at Will Rogers Memorial Center: 104 in the North Red Lot and 78 in Yellow Lot D, at $70 a night with 30 and 50 amp power, water and sewer. It takes no reservations, payment is due on arrival, and the RV must have living quarters. Call Will Rogers at 817-991-8497 to ask how the lots work during the show.
For 2026, CBS Texas reported $15 for adults, $8 for children 6 to 16, and free for children 5 and under, with parking at $20 per vehicle. Rodeo performances need a separate ticket. Check fwssr.com for 2027 prices.
Inez Spring is at Exit 343 on I-20 in Eastland, about 1 hour 35 minutes west of Fort Worth. That works for a multi-day trip with a quiet base, not for walking to the barns. If you want to be on the grounds every hour, park closer.
It can be if you want to add a quiet river stay to the trip. Eastland is about 5 hours 40 minutes from Houston and about 3 hours 40 minutes from Austin, so it is not on the shortest route to Fort Worth. It suits families who want a few calm nights and a day at the show.
Yes. Monthly RV sites are $500 back-in or $650 pull-through, month to month, plus electric metered at 17 cents per kWh and a $200 refundable deposit. Pull-throughs run up to 100 feet for a truck and trailer.
On the grounds for every event, or a quiet river site for a week of show days and rest. Either way, confirm the 2027 dates on fwssr.com and plan for cold nights.
RV sites from $40 a night, tent sites from about $31, and monthly sites for long stays. Book online or call (254) 629-1197.
