BL SR 27 Roadside Picnic Area

On BL SR 47, Jolly, Texas 76365 USA

Independent

Description

January 6th, 2020: RVer reports that Overnight RV Parking is Permitted, confirming multiple reports Jan 2018 & earlier, & info provided by Texas DOT. The State of Texas allows parking for up to 24 hours in Roadside Picnic Areas unless there is signage to the contrary. This rest area is off, parallel to & separated from highway, with entrances at both ends. Level, unlighted, appears safe. Very close to US 82 & 287, so expect highway noise. Room for 2-3 rigs. Two picnic shelters.

Directions

From US 82 & 287 at Jolly, TX, Exit to FM 2392, then S on FM 2393 ~ 0.1 mi, L on BL SR 49 ~ 0.4 mi to Picnic Area on L

HELPFUL INFO:

Traveling east, just 15 miles further there is a much larger picnic/parking lot that seems much more appropriate, with the added benefit of the railway much further away (on the north side of the highway).

Smaller than expected, but yes it works.

US82 & 287 on the north side as noted ... Railroad on the south side, so expect to hear the train whistle as there is a road crossing the railroad just 1/4 mile west of the picnic area. Honestly, it wasn't too bad.

I've added photos showing the 4 total parking cutouts. 2 for cars, and 2 for bigger rigs. Our 37' motorhome with a jeep in tow barely fit, but worked (especially since we don't expect this to be a popular stop for the night due to its proximity to the highway and railway.
