RV & Primitive Camping
at Gunsmoke during Trailhead
There are two options
We have parking for RVs at Gunsmoke in a pasture about 300 yards from the
Range. You can park anywhere you would like in the
pasture. If you wish to line up with the rest of the RVers,
that is fine. If you would like a little more privacy, or get
away from the generators, park anywhere in that pasture you
want. Obviously, the more secluded, the further the walk to
the firing line each morning. You can drive up each morning,
but how close you get depends on how early you come up and get yourself a
parking spot. There are not hook-ups, or dump points, there is
also NO Charge.
The second option is an RV park named Thousand Trails about a half mile or
so further down FM1890. I am sorry I do not have contact
information for them, but directory assistance for Columbus should be able
to give you the number. For Primitive camping, we have another
area that we use. It is only 75 yards from the firing line at
its closest point. Again, the farther you want to get away
from other people, the farther the walk in the morning. We are
not totally strict on our requirements to use of this area. If
you have a period canvas tent, that is great. If you don't, we
would like you to set up where it is not highly visible, but it is OK to
use. Now some of the other campers may make a comment or two,
but we won't turn you away. You can drive your vehicle in to
set up, but then you will have to park it out in the regular parking area
until it is time tho tear down. Once again, in this area
nothing is provided, except the ground to set up on. My home
number is 281-342-1210. I am usually home by 6:00 pm, an d I
usually stay up late, 11 pm or so. Glad y'all are coming to
Trailhead. Look forward to seeing you there.
Goodnight
