Location and Admission
The Houston RV Show has been a tradition since 1965 and serves as the largest RV show in Texas. The event is located at NRG Park, and it will feature camping and RV dealers from all over the state, as well as many other vendors from around the country.
Children ages 6 to 12 are allowed in with a ticket costing $5, and adult tickets cost $15. You can purchase tickets at the entrance box office of the RV show or online via Ticketmaster. Make sure to purchase your tickets in advance if you’re getting them online as tickets won’t be available for four hours prior to the show.

Additionally, there will be seminars, demonstrations, competitions, and fun activities for the whole family.
Parking
There’s plenty of parking available at the NRG Center, with lots located on both sides of the venue. There’s also a designated RV-only area, so make sure to check that out if you plan on bringing your rig to the show.

Do Your Research
It’s always a good idea to do your research before going to any RV show. Make sure you know which brands and models are available, as well as their prices. Not every booth will be worth your while, so scan the exhibitor list first. If you’re planning to purchase or rent an RV, consider your budget, your party size, the destinations where you plan to travel, and any other factors you find relevant that will aid in your discussions with exhibitors.
