The Best Texas Events to Attend with an RV Rental — Spring & Summer 2026
Texas does events like nowhere else! Rodeos that draw a million people. Music festivals that take over entire parks. Race weekends where the whole state shows up. If you're planning to attend any of these in 2026 — or you've been thinking about it — there's one thing that changes the experience completely: showing up in your own space.
At Pampered Pioneer RV Rentals, we deliver a fully-equipped Keystone Bullet travel trailer directly to your campsite anywhere in the San Antonio, Austin, New Braunfels, and Bastrop areas. No hauling, no setup stress — just roll in and enjoy the weekend. Here's a look at the biggest annual events we love to help our guests attend, from spring through summer. Heres a list of some of the annual events we do!
San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo — February
One of the largest rodeos in the country, the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo runs 18 days every February at the Frost Bank Center. Over 1.5 million people attend each year for PRCA rodeo action, headlining concerts, carnival rides, and livestock shows. It's the kind of event that books campsites fast.
Having your own trailer means skipping the hotel scramble and having a home base close to the action. Grab your cowboy boots and let us handle the rest.

National Shooting Complex — Year-Round, San Antonio
Spanning 696 acres on the west side of San Antonio, the National Shooting Complex is one of the premier shooting sports facilities in the world and home base for the National Skeet Shooting Association and National Sporting Clays Association. It hosts world-class tournaments throughout the year including the World Skeet Championships and National Sporting Clays Championship.
Multi-day shooting events are a perfect match for an RV rental — you're close to the range, comfortable between rounds, and not paying nightly hotel rates for a week-long tournament.

J.B. Wells Park, Arena & Expo — Gonzales, TX (May)
A 169-acre multipurpose venue in Gonzales, J.B. Wells hosts everything from PBR bull riding and barrel racing to junior rodeo state finals, livestock shows, and team ropings throughout the year. It's a Texas institution for competitors and fans alike — and it has 470 full RV hookups on the property.
If you're hauling horses or competing across multiple days, having your own comfortable space on site is a game-changer. Pampered Pioneer delivers to the Gonzales area so you can focus on the event.

Cattle Country Music Festival — April, Gonzales, TX
Cattle Country is quickly becoming one of the best country music festivals in Texas. Held each April on a 400-acre ranch along the Guadalupe River in Gonzales, it's three days of live music across three stages, camping under the stars, swimming in the river, and genuine Texas energy. The 2026 lineup includes Koe Wetzel, Treaty Oak Revival, Robert Earl Keen, Asleep at the Wheel, and more.
This event was literally built for RV camping. Skip the tent and show up in a Pampered Pioneer trailer — you'll have a real bed, a working kitchen, and air conditioning when the Texas heat kicks in. Gonzales is well within our delivery range.

Round Top Antiques Fair — Spring & Fall, Round Top, TX
Twice a year, Spring & Fall,
the tiny town of Round Top (population 90) swells to over 100,000 visitors for one of the largest antique shows in the country. Over 11 miles of Highway 237 fill with dealers from across the world selling furniture, art, vintage goods, and one-of-a-kind finds. The spring show runs mid-March through late March; the fall show runs mid-October through early November. Booking starts
right after the New Year.
Local lodging books up months in advance and prices spike during show weeks. A delivered RV gives you a comfortable, affordable home base nearby — no scramble, no price gouging. Perfect for the serious shopper who wants to go back multiple days.

Austin City Limits Music Festival (ACL) — October, Austin, TX
ACL Fest takes over Zilker Park in Austin for two back-to-back weekends every October. With 100+ artists across nine stages — rock, country, hip-hop, folk, EDM — it draws 450,000 people and is one of the most beloved music festivals in the country. The 2026 festival runs October 2-4 and October 9-11.
Austin hotels during ACL are expensive and scarce. A Pampered Pioneer trailer parked at a campsite outside the city gives you a quiet retreat between sets, without the downtown chaos or the price tag. We deliver throughout the Austin area.
