See our weekend itinerary for how the two towns fit together.
RV parks
Ennis Luxury RV Resort, just off I-45, offers paved sites with full amenities — a straightforward option if you're road-tripping through on the way to or from the bluebonnet trails or Texas Motorplex.
Booking around peak weekends
Ennis hotel rooms sell out well ahead of the Bluebonnet Trails Festival (mid-April) and the Texas Motorplex Fall Nationals (October) — the two busiest weekends on the calendar. If your trip lines up with either, book lodging as early as you can; see the Events Calendar to check current dates.
