If you’re heading to First Monday Trade Days in Canton, TX this spring, your base camp matters just as much as your shopping list. The world’s largest flea market draws hundreds of thousands of visitors to Van Zandt County every month — and finding the right RV park near First Monday Trade Days can make or break your entire trip. Whether you’re rolling in for a long weekend or planning an extended stay to catch multiple Trade Days events, Canton I-20 RV Park in Wills Point, TX puts you minutes from the action with full hookups, all utilities included, and one of the most convenient Interstate 20 locations in East Texas.
With the May 2026 First Monday Trade Days running April 30 through May 3 — just days away — now is the time to lock in your site. Here’s everything you need to know about attending Trade Days by RV, what to expect at the market, and why Canton I-20 RV Park is the smart choice for Trade Days travelers and long-term guests alike.
First Monday Trade Days is held Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of each month in Canton, Texas. It spans more than 450 acres and draws vendors and shoppers from across the country. The market is open rain or shine, and the spring and fall events are among the most heavily attended of the year.
Upcoming 2026 Trade Days Dates:
The market features antiques, collectibles, handmade goods, vintage furniture, clothing, tools, plants, food vendors, and live entertainment. Serious shoppers often arrive Thursday morning when vendors are still setting up — and the best deals are on the table. Staying in your RV just minutes away means you can arrive early, leave when you’re ready, and come back the next morning without fighting hotel checkout times or long drives.
Hotels near Canton fill up fast during Trade Days weekends, and rates spike significantly. Driving in from Dallas or Tyler each day means fighting traffic on I-20 and losing hours of shopping time. RV travelers have a clear advantage: your home travels with you, your schedule is your own, and you can haul home everything you find without worrying about fitting it in a suitcase.
For RVers attending First Monday Trade Days, the ideal setup is a full hookup site close to I-20 with easy in-and-out access — no stoplights, no backroads, no wasted time. That’s exactly what Canton I-20 RV Park delivers.

Canton I-20 RV Park is best for Trade Days visitors who want the fastest, most convenient access to the market and I-20. It’s also the top choice for long-term guests, workforce housing, and extended stay RVers who need all utilities included, premium site options, storage, overflow parking, and a quiet environment — all without paying extra for electricity or water.
Wagon Train RV Park is a solid choice for guests who prefer a family-owned atmosphere with a fishing pond and shaded sites. Rate transparency is limited online, which can make planning harder for budget-conscious travelers.
Summer Breeze RV Park offers the lowest monthly entry point in the area at $395/month all-inclusive, making it appealing for budget-focused long-term guests. However, it’s a smaller, more basic park near Lake Tawakoni — farther from Trade Days and with fewer amenities than Canton I-20 RV Park.
Sunset Resort Lake Tawakoni is ideal for guests who prioritize a lakefront setting and don’t mind being about 25 miles from Canton. It’s a scenic resort-style property, but the distance from I-20 and Trade Days makes it less practical for market-focused visitors.
For Trade Days visitors, long-term guests, and workforce travelers who want full hookups, all utilities included, premium site options, and direct I-20 access — Canton I-20 RV Park consistently checks more boxes than any other option in the area.
