If you’re planning a trip to First Monday Trade Days in Canton, TX this spring, finding the right place to park your rig can make or break the experience. With thousands of vendors, shoppers, and collectors descending on Van Zandt County every month, RV spots near Canton fill up fast — especially during the warmer months. Canton I-20 RV Park sits just minutes from the Trade Days grounds with direct Interstate 20 access, making it the most convenient and comfortable base camp for Trade Days visitors in East Texas.
Whether you’re rolling in for a long weekend or planning an extended stay through the spring and summer season, this guide covers everything you need to know about staying at an rv park near first monday trade days, what to do in and around Canton, and why more RV travelers are choosing Canton I-20 RV Park over other options along I-20.
First Monday Trade Days is one of the oldest and largest flea markets in the United States, held monthly in Canton, Texas. Despite the name, the event actually runs the Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of each month — drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors annually from across Texas and beyond.
The spring season is one of the most popular times to attend. Mild temperatures, blooming East Texas landscapes, and a packed vendor lineup make April and May Trade Days events some of the best of the year. The May 2026 First Monday Trade Days runs May 1–4, 2026 — and if you’re planning to attend, now is the time to lock in your RV site.
Vendors sell everything from antiques, handmade crafts, and vintage collectibles to livestock, tools, clothing, and fresh produce. It’s a full-day (or full-weekend) experience that draws serious shoppers, casual browsers, and first-time visitors alike.
Location is everything when it comes to Trade Days. Canton I-20 RV Park is positioned directly on the Interstate 20 service road in Wills Point, TX — just minutes from downtown Canton and the Trade Days grounds. There are no stoplights between the park and I-20, meaning you can pull in after a long drive and be set up before sunset without fighting traffic or navigating complicated back roads.
For Trade Days weekends specifically, the park’s layout is a major advantage. With a large number of pull-through sites, even the biggest fifth wheels, Class A motorhomes, and travel trailers with tow vehicles can get in and out without unhitching. The overflow parking area accommodates extra trucks, trailers, and tow vehicles — a feature that’s hard to find at smaller parks in the area.
And despite sitting right off the interstate, the park is remarkably quiet. Guests consistently note the peaceful atmosphere — something that matters a lot after a full day of walking the Trade Days grounds.
Spring in East Texas is genuinely beautiful. April and May bring warm days, cool evenings, and the kind of green rolling countryside that makes RV living feel like a reward. If you’ve been wintering further south or just wrapped up a long work assignment, the Canton area in spring is a great place to decompress, explore, and recharge.
Beyond Trade Days, the region offers a surprising amount to do. Here’s a look at what’s within easy reach of Canton I-20 RV Park this spring:
The anchor attraction for the entire region. Plan to arrive early — gates open Thursday morning and the best vendor spots go fast. Wear comfortable shoes, bring a cart or wagon for your finds, and budget more time than you think you’ll need. Most serious shoppers spend two to three days working through the grounds. Staying at Canton I-20 RV Park means you’re just a short drive away each morning, with a comfortable site to return to each evening.
A beloved East Texas seasonal attraction, YesterLand Farm offers family-friendly activities that shift with the seasons. Spring and fall are peak times for events, and it’s a great day trip for families traveling with kids. Located near Canton, it’s an easy add-on to any Trade Days trip.
A meaningful stop for veterans and history-minded travelers. The memorial honors Van Zandt County’s military service members and is a quiet, respectful place to visit during your stay.
Fishing, wildlife watching, and peaceful waterside scenery — Mill Creek Reservoir is a short drive from the park and a great option for guests who want to spend a morning outdoors without driving far. Spring is prime fishing season in East Texas.
Downtown Canton has a charming small-town main street with local shops, antique stores, and boutiques. It’s worth an afternoon stroll, especially if you want to find unique items outside the Trade Days crowds.
