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 because it sits on a long stretch of interstate without any options for camping. There is one house to the West, one house to the East and the other houses on the block are all vacant. There is no RV pad or tent pad to setup on. It borders two large ranches on the South and East. What it does have is amazing views of the mountains and some of the best dark sky in West Texas! Very little light pollution! There is a small grove of trees for shade and water on the property. Because this is a dark sky friendly site there is no streetlight and no lights on the Sheffield Camping Signs. If coming in after dark, review a map beforehand and have a flashlight handy. There is a public park with restrooms located by the county swimming pool on the corner of Hwy 348 & Pine St.
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.
Site is self-check in. 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.
For the Boondock site, park your vehicle or camper behind Sheffield Camping sign near the trees. The 30amp and 50amp RV site is next to the solar panels.
Google and Apple maps are not accurate in this area so plan ahead. (Smith Ave will NOT take you to the campsite) I-10 exit 325, take Hwy 290 South 5 miles the turn South onto Hwy 349, then Left onto 2nd Ave, right onto Arizona Ave and right onto 4th St.
$10 = Boondock, tent, vehicle camping (No electricity but access to potable water)
$25 = 30amp RV plug with access to potable water
$30 = 50amp RV plug with access to potable water
Google and Apple maps are not always 100% accurate in this area so plan ahead.
Awesome. Great stop for a night. Quiet, pretty. 30 or 50 amp. There’s a hose for water. You can’t connect water and sewer just electric.
Didn’t hear a car or people. Very peaceful and pretty. Great break from RV parks
Basic camping private lot with electric nice, quiet and safe. Stayed 2 nights to chill out would stay again
Amazing Southern view and extremely serene and peaceful. Neighbors were interesting and fun and had cool puppies to play with. 10/10
Very quiet and secluded. Electric and water hookup. Level site. Easy in and outt from 10.
Its just a tiny parking spot with a place to grill and hook up power. The water hookup is across the way so you need a really really long hose if you want to connect. There is no sewage dump. This is not a resort but it's a very safe quiet place to stop for a couple nights. There's no light pollution so you can see all the stars at night, weather permitting. Thanks to the host for having such a nice clean place. I will be back.
Edit: We came back, it was a bit warmer out that night. We had a nice lil fire and had drinks until it got too cold. This may be the best kept secret in sheffielf for overnight parking. The sherif rolls by every now and then, making my girl feel safe. It was once again, very pleasant. Thanks to our host for having a nice plot of land that he shares at a very reasonable price.
