If you’re planning a trip to First Monday Trade Days in Canton TX, there’s no better base camp than Canton I-20 RV Park. With the May 2026 Trade Days event running April 30 through May 3 — starting tomorrow — now is the time to lock in your site and get ready for one of the largest flea markets in the United States. Whether you’re a weekend shopper, a returning vendor, or an RVer looking to extend your stay through the summer Trade Days season, this guide covers everything you need to know about traveling to Canton, TX by RV in spring 2026.
First Monday Trade Days is held on the Thursday through Sunday preceding the first Monday of each month at 800 First Monday Lane, Canton, TX 75103. It is widely recognized as the largest free flea market in the United States, drawing up to 100,000 visitors in a single weekend and hosting more than 5,000 vendors spread across hundreds of acres.
Shoppers come from across Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and beyond to browse home décor, antiques, furniture, clothing, crafts, jewelry, collectibles, and handmade goods. For vendors, it’s one of the premier markets in the South. For RVers, it’s a reason to plant roots in East Texas for days — or months — at a time.
With Trade Days happening every single month through December, many RVers choose to stay at Canton I-20 RV Park on a monthly basis — arriving once and enjoying every Trade Days event without the hassle of rebooking, packing up, and relocating each time.
Located at 24481 Interstate 20 S Access Rd, Wills Point, TX 75169, Canton I-20 RV Park sits just minutes from downtown Canton and the First Monday Trade Days grounds. The park offers direct I-20 access with no stoplights entering or exiting the highway — a rare convenience that Trade Days visitors and I-20 road trippers genuinely appreciate after a long day of shopping or driving.
Despite sitting right off Interstate 20, the park maintains a very quiet and peaceful atmosphere — something guests consistently mention. You get the best of both worlds: instant highway access and a calm, restful environment to return to after a full day at the market.
Late April and early May in East Texas bring some of the most pleasant RV travel weather of the year. Temperatures are warm but not yet at peak summer intensity, wildflowers are still blooming along the I-20 corridor, and the Trade Days crowds are energized after a winter season. Spring is also when vendors bring out their best seasonal inventory — outdoor furniture, garden décor, plants, and fresh handmade goods fill the market grounds.
For RVers traveling Interstate 20 from the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, Canton is approximately one hour east — a perfect overnight stop or weekend destination. From Tyler, Canton is about 40 miles west via I-20. The park’s direct I-20 access with no stoplights makes it one of the most convenient stops on the entire East Texas stretch of the highway.
First Monday Trade Days is the headline attraction, but Canton and Van Zandt County offer a full slate of activities for RV guests staying multiple days or weeks:
After a long day at the market or out exploring Van Zandt County, guests have solid dining options nearby:

BlueBird RV Park / Rolling Oaks / Canton Creek — Best for budget-conscious guests with low electric usage who are comfortable managing variable monthly costs.
