Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer travel season, and if you’re hitting Interstate 20 through East Texas, you need a reliable, comfortable place to park your rig. Whether you’re rolling through on a multi-week road trip, heading to Canton for First Monday Trade Days, or simply looking for the best RV park on I-20 in Texas to rest and recharge, Canton I-20 RV Park in Wills Point, TX is built for exactly that. With 44 full hookup sites, large pull-throughs, all utilities included, and direct I-20 access with zero stoplights, this park checks every box for summer travelers.
Memorial Day is more than a long weekend — it’s the starting gun for summer RV travel across Texas. Families load up travel trailers and fifth wheels, retirees hit the road in motorhomes, and road warriors begin their summer circuits. Interstate 20 is one of the most heavily traveled RV corridors in the South, connecting Dallas-Fort Worth to Shreveport, Jackson, and beyond. East Texas in late May is warm, green, and full of things to do — making it one of the best stretches of highway to slow down and explore.
Canton, TX sits right along this corridor, and it’s no accident that savvy RV travelers are making it a regular stop. Between First Monday Trade Days, local dining, Van Zandt County attractions, and the peaceful countryside, there’s far more here than a quick overnight. And with Canton I-20 RV Park offering extended stay and monthly options, many travelers who stop for a weekend end up staying for weeks.
One of the most underrated features of Canton I-20 RV Park is its highway access. Pulling a 40-foot fifth wheel or a Class A motorhome through town to find a campground is nobody’s idea of a good time. At Canton I-20 RV Park, you exit the highway and you’re there — no stoplights between the interstate and the park entrance. When you’re ready to leave, same story. You’re back on I-20 in minutes.
For road trippers who value efficiency and ease, this is a genuine advantage. The park is located at 24481 Interstate 20 S Access Rd, Wills Point, TX 75169, right on the I-20 service road. It’s the kind of location that makes sense for both overnight stops and longer stays.
Summer road trips demand more from your campsite. You’re running the AC, charging devices, doing laundry, and keeping the family comfortable. Canton I-20 RV Park’s full hookup sites with 50/30/20 amp service handle all of it. Every site includes individual water and sewer connections, and electricity, water, sewer, and WiFi are all included in your rate — no surprise utility bills at checkout.
The park offers a tiered site system to match your needs and budget:
With a large number of pull-through sites available, even the longest rigs can get in and out without the stress of backing into a tight spot after a long day on the road.
Canton and Van Zandt County offer a surprising amount of summer activity for RV travelers. Here’s what’s close by:
The world-famous First Monday Trade Days in Canton is one of the largest outdoor flea markets and trade events in the United States. Held the weekend before the first Monday of each month, it draws tens of thousands of visitors from across the country. If your road trip timing lines up — and with a little planning, it can — this is a bucket-list experience for shoppers, collectors, and curious travelers alike. Canton I-20 RV Park is just minutes from the Trade Days grounds, making it the most convenient base camp for the event.
A beloved East Texas destination, YesterLand Farm offers seasonal events, family activities, and a genuine taste of rural Texas life. Summer visits are a great way to connect with the local community and give the kids something to talk about long after the trip ends.
When the Texas summer heat kicks in, Splash Kingdom Water Park is a welcome relief. Located nearby, it’s a full-day family destination with water slides, pools, and attractions for all ages. Pair it with a cool evening back at the park’s own pool and you’ve got a perfect summer day.
Mill Creek Reservoir offers fishing, boating, and peaceful outdoor time in a beautiful East Texas setting. For RVers who like to mix road travel with nature, this is a short drive from the park and worth an afternoon.
With Memorial Day as our backdrop, a visit to the Van Zandt County Veterans Memorial is especially meaningful this weekend. It’s a quiet, respectful tribute to the men and women who served — a fitting stop for any American road tripper honoring the holiday’s true purpose.
Downtown Canton has a charming small-town feel with local shops and restaurants worth exploring. For meals, travelers consistently recommend:
Not every summer traveler is just passing through. Many RVers use Memorial Day weekend as the launch point for a longer stay — a month or more parked in one comfortable spot while they explore a region. Canton I-20 RV Park is well-suited for this style of travel.

Summer road trips almost always include four-legged family members. Canton I-20 RV Park welcomes pets (up to 2 per reservation) and features a large, unfenced dog park area where dogs can roam and stretch their legs after a long day in the truck. It’s one of those amenities that makes a real difference for pet owners who spend weeks or months on the road.
