One time in the spring of 2005 after wintering in Yuma, AZ we were going back east for the summer and were traveling alone. Our friends had gone up to central CA to spend some time with a daughter living in Hanford, CA.
We were headed to Jacksonville, FL to visit with family and off load some stuff into our storage facility before heading north for the summer. We were using I-10 all the way. We had a couple of week long stops scheduled along the way. He had just spent a week at the Military CG at El Paso and were just going to overnight it to MS.
We like to use KOA CGs for overnight stopping whenever they are available because they are easy to get in and out of and are often very close to the highways being used.
So we were very happy with KOA Fort Stockton. It was not very expensive, most of the snow birds had left giving us a choice of nice long pull-thru sites to select from. Our normal travel day is 300 miles. So we normally get into our overnight sites early enough to get set-up and have plenty of daylight time to browse around the CG and visit all of the facilities. At the time of our stay most of the infrastructure was in great condition making our overnight stay just that much more enjoyable.
When I went hunting for the KOA Fort Stockton web site I couldn’t find it. It looks like they have sold it and it’s now called the Fort Stockton RV Park. In the web site below you can see that the trees and shrubs have grown considerably since our 2005 visit. I’m sure the sites are the same size and nice and level.
Since that time we have never again used I-10 to cross TX so it was our only contact with that CG.

Here is what the CG looked like on our only stop there. Remember to click on the pictures to enlarge them. The reference is active, just click on it.
