RV rental Huntsville, TX: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Because of its location on the fringes of the Sam Houston National Forest, Huntsville has a handful of campgrounds suitable for RVs and motorhomes. Most have full hookup sites, showers, and restrooms, like campgrounds found in New Waverly, and Willis farther out. If all you need is a place to take a shower and spend the night, the sole truck stop in Huntsville might be an attractive option. For dry camping, consider leaving your Huntsville motorhome rental at the Walmart parking lot in town. Check to see if the store management approves before rolling in for the night.

While the museum offers a glimpse into the lurid side of capital punishment including the legendary electric chair "Old Sparky," lighter exhibits provide insight into the craftiness of prisoners who created contraband items (i.e. weapons) found within prison units. Some inmates channeled their artistic energies and created paintings, models, and sculptures. Doubling as the Walker County Historical Museum, the Gibbs-Powell Home built in 1862 is an excellent example of how 19th-century life was lived. It was designed in the Greek Revival tradition and served as the residence of several generations of Gibbs and Powells. Over the years, much of the home and its furniture and decor were left unchanged. Like its wide array of attractions, Huntsville has more than its fair share of places to fill your stomach.
