32.5565° N, 95.8633° W

Quick Overview

Canton has several motorhome dump stations available, with some offering free access and the rest being paid facilities. This East Texas town is best known for First Monday Trade Days, the massive monthly flea market that draws thousands of RVers from across the region. The sanidump situation here reflects that reality -- you'll find stations primarily at motorhome parks and campgrounds that cater to the trade days crowd.

Located about 60 miles east of Dallas, Canton sits at the intersection of US Highway 19 and State Highway 243. The town transforms into an motorhome hub during First Monday weekends, when the population swells from around 4,000 to over 100,000 visitors. Most RVers heading here are coming for the trade days, which means the service point landscape is geared toward short-term stays and weekend warriors.

Your sanitary service point options include several motorhome parks that welcome overnight guests and day-use customers. Lone Star Motorhome Ranch is the newest addition to the area's facilities, offering modern amenities for RVers. The stations here typically feature standard setups with rinse hoses, though it's worth calling ahead during trade days weekends when everything gets busy. Most facilities can handle big rigs, but the narrow roads around the trade grounds themselves require careful navigation.

Getting to Canton is straightforward via Interstate 20, then north on US 19 for about 15 miles. The route is motorhome-friendly with no major restrictions, though you'll want to plan your arrival time carefully if you're coming during First Monday. Traffic backs up significantly, and finding parking becomes a challenge. Motorhome waste disposal needs are well-covered outside of the peak weekend rush, but during trade days you might face longer waits at popular stations.

The stations listed below will help you handle your waste water dump and gray water needs whether you're staying for the trade days or just passing through East Texas.

Traveling to Canton by RV

Canton sits just off Interstate 20 at Exit 527, making it easily accessible for RVers traveling east-west across Texas. From Dallas, take I-20 east for about 45 miles, then exit north on US Highway 19. The 15-mile drive north on US 19 is motorhome-friendly with wide shoulders and gentle curves that accommodate big rigs without issues.

If you're coming from the north via Interstate 30, you'll connect to US 19 through Tyler, about 20 miles north of Canton. This route involves some rolling hills typical of East Texas, but nothing that should concern most RVs. The roads around Canton itself are generally well-maintained state highways, though some of the smaller roads leading to individual motorhome parks can be narrow.

Overnight parking options are limited in Canton proper. The Walmart on US 19 has historically allowed motorhome parking, but policies change frequently, so call ahead. There's a Love's Travel Stop about 10 miles south on I-20 that welcomes RVers for overnight stops. During First Monday Trade Days weekends, expect heavy traffic and plan extra time for navigation. Many RVers arrive early in the week to avoid the weekend rush and secure better camping spots at the various motorhome parks around town.

Explore the Canton Area

Hit the dump stations early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday rush, especially during First Monday weekends when everyone's trying to dump and dash. Most stations here have decent water pressure for tank rinsing, but bring your own rinse water jug just in case -- East Texas clay gets sticky and you'll want extra water for cleanup.

Propane fills are available at several locations along US 19, with Tractor Supply Company offering competitive rates and good access for RVs. If you need fuel, the Murphy USA station near Walmart can accommodate most rigs, though you might need to unhook your toad for easier maneuvering. For Motorhome repairs or parts, there's a small motorhome dealer on the south side of town, but for major work you're better off heading to Tyler.

The service point at Old Mill Marketplace Camping gets busy during trade days but offers some of the best facilities in the area. They've got a solid rinse setup and plenty of room to maneuver. Stock up on groceries and supplies before First Monday weekends -- everything gets picked over quickly and prices jump. The local H-E-B is your best bet for supplies, and it's got decent motorhome access if you're careful with the turns in their parking lot.
