Location is everything when it comes to Trade Days. Canton I-20 RV Park sits directly on the Interstate 20 service road, giving guests direct I-20 access with no stoplights entering or exiting the highway. You’re just minutes from downtown Canton and the Trade Days grounds — close enough to make multiple trips in a day, far enough to enjoy a genuinely quiet and peaceful atmosphere when you’re back at your site.
Whether you’re a weekend Trade Days shopper, a vendor looking for a monthly base, or a full-time RVer who times your travels around the show calendar, Canton I-20 RV Park checks every box.
First Monday Trade Days is a four-day event, and experienced visitors know that each day has its own rhythm. Here’s how to make the most of your stay when you’re based at Canton I-20 RV Park:
Thursday is when vendors are setting up and the grounds are less crowded. Serious shoppers and collectors often arrive Thursday to get first pick of the best items before the weekend crowds arrive. Staying at Canton I-20 RV Park means you can be on the grounds early and back at your site for a relaxed evening. Grab dinner at The Buffalo Grill or Ochoa’s in Canton — both are local favorites just minutes from the park.
Friday is widely considered the best day to shop at First Monday Trade Days. All vendors are set up, the selection is at its peak, and the energy is electric. With your RV parked and ready at Canton I-20 RV Park, you can load up your haul, drop it off at your site, and head back out for another round — no hotel checkout times, no cramped car trunks.
Saturday brings the biggest crowds of the weekend. It’s also when vendors start offering deals to move inventory. Take advantage of the overflow parking area at Canton I-20 RV Park if you’re bringing a truck and trailer to haul larger purchases — the park accommodates long trucks and trailers with ease.
Sunday is bargain day. Vendors who don’t want to pack up and haul unsold merchandise are often willing to negotiate. Head out early, score your deals, and return to your site for a relaxing afternoon by the pool or on the covered patio before heading home — or staying another week.
First Monday Trade Days is the main event, but Van Zandt County and the surrounding area offer plenty of other reasons to extend your stay. Here’s what’s within easy reach of Canton I-20 RV Park:
