Our Story: Where It All Began
Fort Amarillo RV Resort didn't start as just a business idea. It started with a man who loved people, adventure, and building something meaningful for his family.
Gary Prescott was the kind of man who never met a stranger. He had a bigger-than-life personality, a sharp sense of humor, and a heart that made everyone feel welcome.
He spent his life working hard, raising his family, and chasing the things he loved—whether that was the mountains of Red River, a good story, or the thrill of finding hidden treasure at an auction or flea market.
After years in the family business, Gary had a dream that most people would have called a little crazy…
He wanted to build an RV park.
Not just any park—but a place where people could come, stay awhile, and feel like they belonged.
With his son Bobby by his side, that dream slowly started to take shape. What began as an idea turned into long days, hard work, and a whole lot of faith. And piece by piece, Fort Amarillo RV Resort was built.
Today, when guests pull in under those flags and settle into their spot, they're stepping into something much bigger than a place to park. They're stepping into Gary's vision—a place rooted in family, hospitality, and genuine care for every person who comes through.
"You can't ruin my happy."
— Gary PrescottAnd that spirit still lives here.
It's in the way guests are welcomed. It's in the pride behind every detail. And it's in the legacy he left behind—a place built with heart, meant to be shared.
After Gary passed in October 2023, the dream didn't stop.
His son Bobby and his wife Tammy, along with a team that feels more like family than employees, have continued building and growing what Gary started.
This place is the result of hard work, long days, and a whole lot of heart. You can see it in the details, and you can feel it the moment you arrive.
Fort Amarillo is more than an RV park.
It's a legacy we're proud to carry forward—with hopes of passing it down for generations to come.
So when you come in and stay awhile, you're not just visiting… you're part of the story.
