Quick answer: Outdoor RV storage costs about $75 to $200 a month and covered storage about $100 to $250, per the Neighbor RV storage cost guide. Covered is worth it for a newer RV that sits for months through Texas sun and hail. Outdoor storage with a fitted cover is enough for an older rig or one you use every few weeks.
Most people searching for outdoor RV storage near me are weighing two things: the monthly bill and what the Texas weather will do to the roof. This guide lays out both, then gives you five questions that settle it. If you use your rig around Eastland, Lake Leon or the hunting leases, see our RV storage near Eastland for how it works here.
The difference is a roof. Outdoor RV storage is an open, uncovered space in a fenced lot; covered RV storage is a space under a roof or canopy with open sides; indoor storage is inside a closed building. All three are usually rented by the month, with no hookups.
| Outdoor | Covered | Indoor | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical monthly cost | $75 to $200 | $100 to $250 | $150 to $550 |
| Sun and UV | Full exposure | Blocked from above | Blocked |
| Hail | Full exposure | Roof takes the hit | Protected |
| Rain on roof seals | Full exposure | Mostly blocked, wind-driven rain gets in | Protected |
| Dust and pests | Exposed | Exposed from the sides | Less exposed |
| Fits tall rigs | Yes | Check the clearance | Often limited |

Sun does the slow damage and hail does the fast damage. Months of summer sun dry out roof membranes, sealant and rubber seals, fade decals and crack tires. A spring hailstorm can dent aluminum siding, crack skylights and puncture a roof in ten minutes. Winter brings hard freezes in our part of the state, but freeze damage comes from water left in the lines, not from the lack of a roof.
A roof overhead stops most of the sun and hail. It does not stop wind, dust or mice, so covered storage still needs the usual prep. Our RV winter storage checklist for Texas covers the water system, battery and pests.
Answer these honestly and the choice usually makes itself.
Two yeses on questions 1 to 3 point to covered. Mostly no points to outdoor. A yes on question 5 points to a site.
Partly. A breathable, fitted cover on an outdoor space blocks sun and dust and slows UV wear, for a one-time cost instead of a monthly one. It does little against hail. In Texas wind a loose cover flaps and can scuff the finish, so strap it tight, pad the corners and check it after every storm. Never use a plastic tarp. It traps moisture against the roof.
Tire covers are the cheapest win of all. They keep sun off the sidewalls on any outdoor space.
Start near where you use the RV, not only near home. A cheap lot an hour the wrong way costs you every trip. Then:

We store rigs one minute off I-20 at Exit 343, about 1 hour 35 minutes from Fort Worth, about 50 minutes from Abilene and 10 minutes from Lake Leon. Storage rates and open space change with the season, so ask the office for the current rate and spot.
If you answered yes to question 5, a monthly site may fit better. The rig stays on full hookups, the batteries stay charged and you can sleep in it any night.
| Option at Inez Spring | Price |
|---|---|
| Storage | Ask the office, rates change with the season |
| Monthly back-in site | $500 a month plus metered electric at 17 cents per kWh |
| Monthly pull-through site, up to 100 feet | $650 a month plus metered electric at 17 cents per kWh |
| Deposit on monthly sites | $200, refundable, month to month |
The honest total on a site is the rent plus your own meter. We do not estimate electric, because it depends on your rig and how often you are there. More on our monthly RV sites page.
It is worth it for a newer or high-value RV that sits for months, because a roof cuts sun, hail and rain damage to the roof, seals and decals. For an older rig, a short storage stint or a rig you use every few weeks, outdoor storage with a good cover is often enough.
The Neighbor RV storage cost guide puts outdoor storage at about $75 to $200 a month and covered at about $100 to $250. Neighbor's Fort Worth page says choosing uncovered outdoor storage saves about 36 percent compared with covered.
Partly. A breathable, fitted cover blocks sun and dust and slows UV damage, but it does little against hail and can flap and scuff in Texas wind if it is loose. Strap it tight and check it after storms.
Search by town on a storage marketplace such as Neighbor, then call the closest options and ask about gate access, surface, lighting and the monthly rate. RV parks often store rigs too, so call parks near where you use the RV, not only storage facilities near home.
Yes. Inez Spring Riverfront RV Park at I-20 Exit 343 stores rigs, and storage rates change with the season, so ask the office at (254) 629-1197. You can also keep the rig on a monthly site for $500 back-in or $650 pull-through, plus your own metered electric at 17 cents per kWh.
Indoor storage adds protection from wind-driven rain and dust that reach a covered space from the open sides, but it costs the most, about $150 to $550 a month per the Neighbor guide, and supply is limited for tall rigs. For most Texas owners covered storage is the middle ground.
Covered storage earns its extra cost on a newer rig that sits through summer. Outdoor storage with a tight cover is fine for the rest. And if you will use the rig most weekends, skip storage and keep it plugged in.
Tell us the rig type, length and dates, and we will call or text with the rate and the best spot. Call (254) 629-1197 or send a request on our RV storage page.
