Amarillo, TX - Fort Amarillo RV Park & Resort

On our last west to east cross country trip we separated from our traveling friends at Williams, AZ as they were going west to CA.

While traveling east on I-40 we caught up with a huge Midwestern storm front that was threatening the Mississippi delta country in the Memphis area. We decided to hunker down in Amarillo, TX. After browsing all of our campground references for that area we decided on the Fort Amarillo RV Park & Resort. The sites there were all level pull thru and plenty long enough. The Park is located on a frontage road with very easy access to and from I-40. A super Walmart is less than five miles away.

The parking sites in the section of the park where we were assigned all had privacy fences. Very narrow but still had everything needed. The unique thing is all connections are located in each fenced-in parking area. In other words, only your rig’s sewer connections can be seen while inside your fenced-in area. The pictures below will depict it better than I described it.

If you ever stay there, allow some time to browse the Lizzie Mae Mercantile. Trinkets galore!

We ended up spending five days there. The Mississippi crested well below flood levels and I-40 was wide open all the way past Memphis. The pictures below show the water level as we approached the Mississippi at Memphis, TN.


I almost forgot to get pictures of our site as it rained almost all the time we were there. I was already hooking up the trailer when I took the pictures. A lot of other rigs had already left earlier, especially those heading north on US-385 or US-287.

  1. The main reason to install a privacy fence is to end up with an area where you can go and get away from the hustle bustle of your everyday life.
