Fort Worth is among the State of Texas’ most iconic destinations. Located in the northern section of the Lone Star State, Fort Worth is often overshadowed by her much bigger and flashy neighbor, Dallas, just 30 miles east. However, as any traveler will quickly realize, Fort Worth is a truly unique city packed with Texas charm.

They are very proud of their history and take pride in once being a country for nine years before becoming a state. Fort Worth was a center for cattle drives and the ranching industry and has since embraced its western cowboy heritage. You will not be hard-pressed to find plenty of cowboy hats, boots, Texas belt buckles and ‘howdy y’all’ greetings as you explore the 23-day long Stock Show and Rodeo.

Beef is king, and the city has a unique mixture of Southern, Western, and Texas cuisine. You will definitely need to loosen your belt after you eat your way through the best restaurants Fort Worth has to offer.

Summer in Texas is, in a word, hot. There are those occasional bearable sunny days and on those days we have to take advantage and hit the great outdoors. One of the best places to get out is Eagle Moutain Lake Park in Fort Worth. The park is 8,694 acres and has so much to discover, it'll be hard not to keep going back for more visits.
Inside their Eagle Moutain Park, you'll find 400 acres designated just for hiking. On their trails, you'll find plenty of outlooks and cliffs that give visitors astonishing views of nature. There are several benches hidden in the park where you sit down and have a nice picnic. The trails may be frequented by visitors but there is plenty of wildlife all around so who knows what furry creatures you might run into!
​
At the lake itself, you can swim, waterboard, and boat. There are vendors inside the park that offer boat rentals and you can take those boats to "Party Cove" where the party never stops! Party Cove is where all the boats happen to hang out, and yes, alcohol is allowed. The giant lake is always the center of the fun and you can pretty much get to any of the smaller lakeside parks from anywhere on the water.

The park is free to enter any day of the week but all restaurants and camping sites are privately owned and will have fees depending on the business themselves.

LOS ANGELES – It looks like any holiday weekend: a fleet of motor homes filling the lot at Dockweiler State Beach, a popular destination for RVers.
But in this case, there are no happy families, smoking barbecues or coolers filled with beer and soft drinks. Rather, the units have a far more somber purpose: a place to quarantine people suspected of exposure to the coronavirus who either need to be separated from high-risk family members or who have no place else to go.
The recreational vehicle or RV – trailers and motor homes – may be a symbol of America's love of the open road and the pleasure of getting away. But in recent months, this state has been putting them to work to solve serious social problems – first as a temporary solution to the burgeoning homeless problem and now as part of the war against COVID-19. 
The motor homes parked at Dockweiler, a stretch of asphalt for RVs where the din of jets taking off from Los Angeles International Airport can drown out the roar of the surf, were set up as an emergency measure by Los Angeles County.
"We need places where people can be safely isolated from the public and even from their families," said County Supervisor Janice Hahn in a statement. "We are using the Dockweiler RV Park for this purpose and we are actively identifying more sites like it for quarantine and isolation housing across the county." 

When you own an RV, the open road is your home. You can go almost anywhere you want at a moment's notice. Travel is so much more affordable when you don't need to pay for hotels or other traditional accommodations.
With over 4 million miles of public roadways at your disposal and countless other side routes to explore, there's no end to the variety you can enjoy on RV road trips.
Get started with these North American RV trips that deserve a spot on your wish list.
