Amarillo, TX

This was our last west to east, cross country trip.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 the area we decided on the Fort Amarillo RV Park & Resort. When we got there the storm was less than 35 miles out in front of us. The sites there were all level pull thru and plenty long enough. The sites had FHU but were narrow with dividers. The access off and back to I-40 is simple and easy. A super Wal-Mart was less than five miles away.

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

We ended up spending five nights there. The Mississippi crested well below flood levels and I-40 was wide open all the way past Memphis. But, even after spending a couple of nights each in OK and AR, the Mississippi was still over its banks as we crossed into TN, and there was still a heavy overcast.

I hope you were able to grab a meal at the Big Texan Steakhouse while you were there. We stop whenever we can but we were pushed for time on Thursday afternoon when we went though westbound. They have limited parking behind the restaurant for semi's, so you should have no problem getting an RV/Motorhome in there. They also have an RV park just west of the restaurant but I don't have any information on that. Great steaks though! Safe travels shipmate!

We have stayed a couple times at Overnite RV Park across from the Pilot Truck Center. Easy access and very long sites. Cheap I might add.
