The area’s history is largely lost to the passage of time. This much is known, there were almost certainly settlers and pioneers living in the area long enough for a settlement to form. In 1850, two landowners and prominent community leaders competed to have the settlement named after themselves. Doctors Josiah S. Bailey and A.J. Ray owned a chunk of land that was parceled out and sold to the newcomers. The dispute over the town’s name continued for over 30 years and was finally settled in 1855. A railroad company decided to lay down tracks passing by the town, and Dr. Bailey donated land for that endeavor. The rail company consequently elected to choose his surname for the town’s name.

Today, Bailey is a tiny town, with a population of around 200 people, give or take a few. Most residents are farmers or workers on local farms and ranches. When you visit here, it's almost necessary to rent an RV in Bailey, if one wants to see anything noteworthy or interesting. The closest large town is Bonham about 14 miles north.

The Great Outdoors

Minnesota, the land of a thousand lakes, has nothing on north Texas. Streams, ponds and lakes dot the rolling landscapes, obscured by groves of thirsty trees and shrubs. Though most are on private land, some are open to the public. Hop into a travel trailer rental and search for local gems. Ladonia Fossil Park, near Ladonia, TX, is a small pocket of land that runs parallel to Sulphur Creek. It’s unique in that it’s a known fossil site that continues to produce finds decades after its discovery. Rock hounds and fossil hunters have found all sorts of aquatic fossils ranging from prehistoric shark teeth to ammonites to corals to dinosaur bones. The trail to the creek is treacherous, and hikers are advised to wear good boots. The local paleontology center regularly holds presentations at which one can learn about the local history, which dates back to the Cretaceous period, millions of years ago.

Parkhill Prairie is a small preserve near Celeste. This region is one of the few areas that was never farmed, and in its current state, is as close as what pioneers would’ve seen well over 100 years ago. In springtime, the low hills blaze in a riot of colors when the wildflowers bloom. There are established paths, though wandering off-trail is permitted. Hikers should tread carefully; venomous snakes are common in northern Texas. Photographers and nature lovers will enjoy the swift birds as they fly from shrub to shrub. On occasion, a jackrabbit pokes its head up above the grass in search of danger.

RV Parks

Don’t forget to pick out where you’ll park while you go roaming the wide-open prairie. Many back roads are narrow and poorly maintained, making it difficult to find a place to park a Bailey camper rental. There are dozens of RV campgrounds and parks within 30 miles, and even more up near Lake Texoma, which is a popular outdoor recreation site.

Coyote Ranch RV Park near Farmersville is a no-frills park, offering few amenities beyond the standard hookups and restroom. The site overlooks a small pond, and thanks to the unobscured horizons, sunsets are almost always impressively colorful and serene.

Five Rivers Motel and RV Park provides a few amenities in addition to full hookups, such as WiFi and a laundromat. The RV Park area is set back, adjacent to a park.

Exploring the City

In wide-open Texas, driving anywhere will take significantly more time, and a Bailey motorhome rental makes the travel more comfortable. Though the countryside lacks the high-octane energy of a big city, there’s plenty of adventures to be had. See what Texas looks like from 14,000 above the earth. Near Whitewright, the Skydive Spaceland-Dallas grants adventurers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience flying, if only for a few seconds. As they plummet toward the earth in a heart-wrenching moment, the parachute rips open, and they continue their descent in a blissful, graceful glide. Pro and amateur skydiving teams regularly hold practice sessions at this site, and spectators are encouraged to watch from the observation deck.

Many farms in north Texas operate a small produce stand or store selling fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs. These products are nothing like what can be obtained in a commercial grocery store. Rich, savory flavors burst on your tongue. It’ll be hard to ever shop anywhere else. Cypress Lake Ranch not only sells fresh produce, herbs, eggs, homemade bread, and flowers, they also offer tours of their working farm, during which visitors can learn about running a farm and raising livestock. Note: horses roam free on their property, and as a result, the gate is kept shut; call ahead to make an appointment. Alternatively, larger towns like Sherman and McKinney, TX, regularly hold farmer’s market on weekends.

A Bailey RV rental makes it easy to explore all that Texas has to offer: warm sunshine, open plains, and friendly people.
