Not many Texas towns can claim to be a brick-street city and bluebird central at the same time, and yet Wills Point is precisely that. Named after its first American settler William Wills, this small city in Van Zandt County will surprise you with its collection of old-time buildings, many more than 100 years old, that date back to its founding in the late 1870s.
Wills Point today is a straightforward drive from Dallas, about an hour away. Apart from being the bluebird capital of Texas, it's also the gateway to East Texas, with the historic Highway 80 passing right through town. It’s wetter this side of the Lone Star State, and nearby Lake Tawakoni is the first of the many watering holes of the area. Book an RV in Van Zandt County and find out where else you can fish, boat, and waterski.
Lake Tawakoni measures 36,000+ acres with around 200 miles of shoreline so you can be sure to find a spot when you want to cool off or toss a line out for catfish, crappie, and bass. The lake earns the distinction of the being the catfish capital of Texas. For a rejuvenating walk through oak forests, take your travel trailer rental in Wills Point to the 376-acre Lake Tawakoni State Park where you can swim (along five miles of lakeshore), saddle up on your mountain bike, or scope out the area for birds.
A little farther out but still only an hour's drive by Wills Point motorhome rental is Cedar Hill State Park. This is where you want to escape to if you hope to see the rare Texas prairie yet want some comforts to go with your outing. By the shores of Joe Pool Lake, the 1,800-acre park attracts crowds of boaters, anglers, and birders. Birders, in particular, flock to the area and its surrounding preserves for its huge number of migratory bird species (500 species including residents) that use the park as their overwintering grounds.
For plenty of natural beauty and a little bit of history, head to the woodsy Lake Mineral Wells State Park and Trailway and drive your Wills Point camper rental right in the heart of cattle country. What started as a well dug on private land soon became a health resort, as the well's water was thought to have curative powers. In the 1970s, the communities surrounding the lake were converted to a 3,200+ acre state park that today is home a thriving population of white-tailed deer, raccoons, and a variety of songbirds. In season, wildflowers like the milkweed, spiderwort, and the bluebonnet color the park with their blooms.
There are a handful of campgrounds found within the city, including full hook-up campsites in Lake Tawakoni State Park. Here, showers and restrooms are plentiful, with some of the sites accessible from the lake. Another campground in town worth considering is BlueBird RV Park and Campground where full hook-up sites, restrooms, and showers await. There are also fishing and hiking opportunities nearby.

William Wills built his log cabin long before his namesake town was founded. That original cabin is now located in Bruce Park. Other buildings on site are replicas of structures that might have been on Wills' properly in 1848. They’ve been built to make the park look like a mid-19th-century stage stop.
