Spacious, level camping well-suited for travel trailers over 40 ft long.
Best RV/van spots: Finalist
Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2023.
I have owed this property for over 20 years. In the past, before I listed this property for camping, travelers would stop and ask to camp on my land. There are not many options for camping on this stretch of Hwy so I decided to offer up my place. So far guest have either loved it or hated it.

1301 4th St Sheffield TX 79781. This is not a typical RV park, RV site or camping site.  This is a 1/2-acre lot located on the edge of a small town.  A primitive site.  Please read the full description and look at the pictures to get a good idea of what this site is.  This camping site is more for folks traveling I-10 that need a cheap place to camp for the night.  ALSO, GOOGLE & APPLE MAPS ARE NOT ACCURATE IN THIS AREA! (Smith Ave WILL NOT get you to the campsite) The best route is: Take I-10 exit# 325 Take Hwy 290 South 5 miles into the town of Sheffield Turn South (right hand turn) onto Hwy 349 Two blocks down turn East (Left hand turn) onto 2nd Street Go to the end of 2nd Street then turn South (right hand turn) onto Arizona Ave Take Arizona Ave to 4th Street and turn West (right hand turn) and the campsite will be in the middle of that block (There is a sign) This site is NOT a pull through.  There is no RV pad or tent pad to setup on, you just park in the designated area, just to the right of the trees. You can setup your RV there or pitch a tent out under the trees.  (Please do not block the Electrical site located to the left of the solar panels). Do not drive in the grass areas.  This site borders two large ranches on the South and East.  It has amazing views of the mountains and some of the best dark sky in West Texas!  Very little light pollution!  Because this is a dark sky friendly site there are no lights on the signs or in the camping area so if you plan to arrive after dark be sure to view the layout of the area beforehand or have a flashlight ready.  There is a small grove of trees for shade and water on the property.    There is a public park with restrooms located by the county swimming pool on the corner of Hwy 348 & Pine St.  Contact me for anything else needed.   There are no stores or gas stations in this town.  The street around my site is a public street so expect to see the local folks out enjoying a slow evening drive.  If that worries you then this place is not for you. No need to check in or check out.  If you are interested in any local attractions contact me.  There is an art studio a mile away.  There is a historic fort a few miles away.  A shooting range about a mile away.  And there are a few GeoCache in the area. Park your vehicle or camper to the right of the trees by the Sheffield Camping sign.  You are welcome to setup a tent under the trees. The 30amp RV plug is a separate site so please do not block access to that site. (Just to the left of the solar panels).   If heavy rains are expected you may want to contact me to avoid parking in a low/flood area.

We are traveling across the country and needed a place to rest for one night. This place fit our needs. It was an easy in and out for our 40' fifth wheel. The ground was mostly level, and the property was very peaceful. Water and 50-amp hookup available. My only complaint was the sprinkler going off late at night so we were trapped when I had to take the dogs out before bed. No biggie. This is a great place for a quick stopover.

Exactly as described, super easy to find and an ideal place to stop and sleep on the way to Big Bend. Definitely heed James’ instructions and take the stated exit, we took 343 instead following GPS and it took much longer to arrive lol..

James was friendly & welcoming. Despite being in a town type setting, this is a quiet, roomy, & safe place to spend the night. 30/50 amp service, pull thru or back in, fire ring & potable water. I would come back for sure!

This is a fine place for a night. There was an electrical problem and the owner came out promptly and we got it fixed. He was very nice. On the information it mentions that there are no bathroom facilities but I think this should be stressed and also posted on a sign at the campground. It also could be posted both places might say “SELF CONTAINED RVs ONLY.” Some tent campers came and were not aware of no facilities. They stayed but I have no idea how they dealt with lack of bathrooms.

This site got us to within a few hours of Big Bend NP. It's hot, so power and a/c were required. Everything worked and the site was quite level. Note: Open the large breaker box to turn on the individual 30A outlets. Note 2: Gas is available in 65 miles toward Big Bend.

Sheffield Camping is further off I-10 than I thought. That was my mistake. That being said, I was coming from the east on I-10. I took exit 343. The drive is 20-30 min and it is a beautiful drive down into the valley. There is a nice picnic area just before you start down. It is much closer to Sheffield if you take exit 425, just not quite as scenic. The camping spot is a dirt lot on the edge of town. The view one direction is the town, but the other is beautiful desert mountains. I was very quiet and relaxing. There is electric and water.

Quite desolate, you're on your own so that's nice. Plenty of space to walk your dogs untethered. It's not totally dark, for there are some distant streetlights visible. Overall, very peaceful, would go back. X

This was our first HipCamp stay. We have a 28' Class C motorhome. It was easy to get to and very quiet. Felt safe too. We could only get the dry campsite but the evening was cool so we were quite comfortable. On a hot Texas night I would recommend the electric site if available. I'm not sure there is a generator restriction but the noise would be annoying. Thanks to James for making this available.

We were going from Austin to Alpine Texas. We needed an overnight stop along the way. This was fine for that. Do not take the estern exit from 10 to Highway 290. That road is scary pulling a trailer. Make sure you have everything you need when you arrive. There are no stores in town. The power was good, however the water was too far to hook up to. The water had a taste to it. I would bring your own water supply.

This was the perfect stop. We had power and there water if needed. You are at the end of the block on both sides, surrounded by nature. The spot was level, clear of any burrs and super easy to get into to. We slept well and were ready to get back on the road the next day.
