Lamesa RV Parking Area

RV travelers breaking up longer journeys often discover this county-managed parking area with about 10 sites offering 30-amp electric hookups. Located in Lamesa, the facility operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no permit required—campers simply park and plug in for up to four nights free, then $20 per night thereafter.

The sites sit on relatively level ground, though some require leveling blocks. Each spot includes a picnic table, fire pit, and trash receptacle. Water and dump station access complement the electrical service, though several reviewers note the electrical connections show signs of wear. "Site 10 this time had serviceable electrical hook up," reports Shiner T., who has visited multiple times over a decade span.

Street lighting provides visibility after dark, while nearby traffic creates moderate road noise that typically diminishes overnight. The area sits across from a playground and within a disc golf course. Cell service appears reliable based on camper reports. Pet owners should watch for goat head stickers in the grass.

For campers seeking additional amenities, Forrest Park provides another option in town with different facilities.

A free city park offering basic RV sites with water and electric hookups that many found ideal for overnight stops. Common feedback included appreciation for the quiet setting and family amenities, though some noted aging electrical systems.

It’s ok for an overnight

There are about 10 spots and some electric. Can’t comment as we didn’t use it. The spots aren’t level but a few blocks solve the problem. It was easy to find and seems safe enough. There is quite a bit of traffic noise and a constant barking dog in a near by house all evening. Both quieted down overnight. There is a lot of light at night from street lights. It suited what we needed. I wouldn’t stay a second night. Free for max 4 days - $20 a night after that. @TKcompass on YouTube

An okay place, but it's free !

A little road noise but not bad. Electrical plug-ins need some work. Some goat head stickers for your dog to find .

Nice overnight stop

Good overnight stop for weary travelers. FREE! No hassle with permit, just parked and plugged in. #10 spot electric worked just fine. Had a picnic table, BBQ pit & trash can. Park was clean & quiet with the exception of vehicles driving thru park with loud bass music but that would not stop us from coming here again.

It’s free….. but seen better days

This is our 4th time here I believe over a 10 year time frame. This is 2024. The electrical has slowly deteriorated. Site 10 this time had serviceable electrical hook up but…. More later. Site 4 showed on my meter to be good but upon hookup had a faulty circuit so going without the ac this warm late May evening. Site 9&10 seemed ok. Got set up and then took stock of where we are and noted the dead elm tree overhanging the site. One of those limbs falling on you would ruin your day. Didn’t check the water or make use of the dump.

Going to New Mexico from DFW Metroplex ?

We happened upon this nice park on our way to New Mexico. We were very impressed with this small RV park. First off it was free, it is a quiet area and the the people in the area were nice! We plan to stop there the next time we going that direction. It's a perfect stop to break up the trip from DFW metroplex to Whitesands New Mexico area.
