Depending on the time of day you are starting out and how well you travel...towing or not...frequent stops or not... 8 to 8 1/2 hours out is the Milton Gulf Pines KOA that is an easy over night spot.

If you are starting out at Dallas, then the Lakeside RV Park at Livingston, LA is a good over night at about the 8th hour of driving. This might would require another stop before making it to the Fort though.

In the Houston area, we (42' fifth wheel) stayed a couple of days at Rayford Crossing. It was pretty pretty.

It might be a little ways off of the highway, but we were visiting friends in Spring.

We didn't stay in Dallas, but did stay off of I-10 pretty much the whole way from San Diego to Lake City, FL.

I live in Houston and there are several RV parks  - in or near the city.  Depending on where you are meeting your friends, there is a really nice RV park at the corner of 288 and Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway).  We take the tollway to I-10 when leaving for Florida.  (I think the Dallas tollway pass is reciprocal with Houston.  I know we can use our pass in Dallas.)  There is another RV park south on I-45 near Clear Lake.  There is a Cracker Barrel very near.  

I've stayed at Rayford Crossing and would certainly recommend it, also.  That's the only one I'm familiar with in north Houston.

Going east, we've stayed at the KOA in Baton Rouge (really it's Denham Springs, but is listed as Baton Rouge.)  We stay at Avalon RV Park in Milton, FL, and a really lovely Rv park in Williston, FL.  We've also spent the night at Mazalea RV park in Biloxi (right off the freeway) and Hollywood Casino in Bay St. Louis, MS.  All of these are pretty decent parks with either concrete or blacktop pads.

If you get caught running late at night and do not mind boon docking in a rest area, the Stennis Space Center rest area at exit 2 in Mississippi has some really great turn outs for RV's to park at complete with a picnic table. They are located away from the commercial truck parking, though all the traffic exits past you to leave the rest area.

We tried this in November we went through there about midnight. Not one empty space. We drove another 2 hours and slept at a Walmart.

This past Saturday night there were only 4 RV's parked there counting us.

 

We're traveling from Arlington, Texas this June.  I am going to try staying there, thanks for the tip!
