One of the biggest celestial events of the year is just a few months away, the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2023. An influx of visitors is expected to arrive in the path of totality and the Texarkana area is one of those regions.

Many hotels, motels, and places to stay in the area have already been booked up for months however, if you are looking for a different option and you have an RV or camper there are several campgrounds in the surrounding area where you can hunker down to watch this cosmic spectacle.

Make sure to check with each RV campsite to make sure they have accommodations available, many may already be booked. The closer to the event the harder it will be to reserve your spot to watch.
