Traveling to Woodway by RV

Interstate 35 runs right through the heart of Central Texas, making Woodway easily accessible from major cities across the state. From Dallas, it's a straight 90-mile shot south on I-35, while Austin sits about 100 miles southeast via the same route. The drive from Houston takes roughly 2.5 hours via I-45 north to I-35, with plenty of truck stops and motorhome-friendly fuel stations along the way.

Highway 6 provides a scenic alternative route that runs parallel to the Brazos River, offering glimpses of Texas countryside and historic small towns. This route works well if you're coming from College Station or the Gulf Coast region. Most Motorhome drivers stick to the major highways since they're well-maintained and have adequate shoulder space for larger rigs.

Fuel up before you arrive, as Woodway has limited gas stations compared to larger cities. The Love's Travel Stop at exit 330 on I-35 offers motorhome-friendly diesel pumps and a large parking area for maneuvering bigger rigs. Waco has several Walmart locations that welcome overnight parking if you need supplies or a quick stop before reaching your campsite. The roads around Woodway are generally motorhome-friendly, but some residential streets have low-hanging tree branches, so stick to main thoroughfares when possible.
