Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial kickoff of summer RV travel season, and if you’re rolling down Interstate 20 through East Texas, there’s no better place to set up camp than Canton I-20 RV Park in Wills Point, TX. Whether you’re a road-tripper chasing the open highway, a family looking for a weekend adventure hub, or a long-term traveler scouting your next extended stay, this quiet, full-hookup park delivers everything you need — right off the interstate with zero stoplights between you and the on-ramp.
With Memorial Day 2026 falling on Monday, May 25, this three-day weekend is one of the busiest RV travel windows of the year. Smart travelers are already booking their spots. Here’s why Canton I-20 RV Park should be at the top of your list for summer RV travel in East Texas.
Interstate 20 is one of the great American road trip corridors — stretching from west Texas all the way through Louisiana and beyond. The stretch between Dallas and the East Texas Piney Woods is packed with things to see and do, and Wills Point, TX sits right in the sweet spot. Canton I-20 RV Park offers direct access to I-20 with no traffic lights between the park entrance and the highway — a rare convenience that road-trippers and long-haul travelers genuinely appreciate.
Positioned just minutes from downtown Canton and the world-famous First Monday Trade Days, the park is also a natural base camp for anyone exploring Van Zandt County and the surrounding East Texas region. Pull in Friday evening, unhook, and spend your entire Memorial Day weekend exploring — without ever worrying about a complicated exit or a congested surface road.
The Canton and Wills Point area comes alive during summer holiday weekends. Here’s a look at what’s within easy reach of the park:
Even outside of official Trade Days weekends, the Canton area is buzzing with activity in late May. The grounds and surrounding shops draw visitors year-round, and the Memorial Day weekend often brings special events and vendor activity to the area. If your visit happens to align with a First Monday Trade Days event, you’re in for one of the largest outdoor flea markets and trade shows in the United States — spanning hundreds of acres with thousands of vendors selling antiques, collectibles, crafts, livestock, and more.
Just a short drive from the park, YesterLand Farm is a beloved East Texas destination for families. With seasonal activities, farm animals, and outdoor fun, it’s a perfect Memorial Day weekend stop for kids and adults alike. Pack a picnic and make a morning of it before heading back to the park for an afternoon by the pool.
Fishing, kayaking, and lakeside relaxation await at Mill Creek Reservoir, one of the area’s most popular outdoor recreation spots. Memorial Day weekend is prime time for getting out on the water, and the reservoir is just a short drive from Canton I-20 RV Park. Bring your gear and enjoy a classic Texas summer holiday on the water.
For families traveling with kids, Splash Kingdom Water Park in nearby Tyler is a summer staple. The Memorial Day weekend opening rush makes it one of the most popular weekend destinations in East Texas — and staying at Canton I-20 RV Park puts you within comfortable driving distance for a full day of water park fun.
Memorial Day carries deep meaning, and the Van Zandt County Veterans Memorial in Canton is a moving tribute to the men and women who served. Take a moment during your holiday weekend to visit and reflect — it’s a meaningful stop that connects the spirit of the holiday to the local community.
Downtown Canton’s Main Street shops are worth an afternoon stroll. Browse local boutiques, antique stores, and specialty shops before sitting down for a meal at one of the area’s beloved local restaurants:
And if you’re craving a road trip institution, Buc-ee’s is approximately 20 minutes away — the perfect fuel stop, snack run, and Texas experience all in one.
Memorial Day weekend kicks off the hottest stretch of the Texas travel calendar. Here are a few tips for making the most of your summer RV trip along I-20:
Texas summer temperatures can climb well into the 90s and beyond by late May. Plan your driving for early morning or evening hours when possible. Canton I-20 RV Park’s full hookup sites with 50-amp service mean your air conditioning runs all night without worry — no generator noise, no power limitations.
Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day weekends fill up fast at quality RV parks along I-20. Canton I-20 RV Park’s contactless booking system makes it easy to reserve your site online in advance — no phone tag, no waiting. Lock in your spot before the holiday rush hits.
If you’re traveling with a large rig, fifth wheel, or motorhome towing a vehicle, pull-through sites are a game-changer. Canton I-20 RV Park has a large number of pull-through sites, so you can arrive, pull straight in, and be set up in minutes — no backing, no maneuvering in tight spaces.
Memorial Day weekend is a family affair, and that includes four-legged family members. Canton I-20 RV Park is pet-friendly (up to 2 pets per reservation) and features a large, open unfenced dog park area where your dogs can stretch their legs after a long day on the road.
Many travelers who stop at Canton I-20 RV Park for a holiday weekend end up extending their stay. The park’s monthly rates and all-inclusive utilities make it an easy transition from a weekend getaway to a longer summer base camp. If you fall in love with the area — and many guests do — ask about monthly availability.
Summer is prime time for extended RV living, and Canton I-20 RV Park is built for it. Whether you’re a summer snowbird escaping the heat of the Southwest, a remote worker looking for a quiet, connected home base, or a Trade Days enthusiast who wants to be close to the action all season long, the park’s monthly rates offer exceptional value with all utilities included.
Unlike many nearby parks that charge separately for electricity — which can add $80–$150 per month to your bill during Texas summers when the AC runs constantly — Canton I-20 RV Park includes electricity in every monthly rate. That means no surprise bills, no budget uncertainty, and no meter anxiety during a heat wave.
Canton I-20 RV Park offers the following current rates for summer 2026:
All monthly rates include electricity, water, sewer, WiFi, trash service, and free laundry. Nightly and weekly rates are also available for holiday weekend stays — contact the park directly for current short-term availability during Memorial Day weekend.
