Orders to Fort Bliss come with a familiar scramble. Whether you are PCSing in, riding out a TDY, waiting on a spot in on-post housing, or house-hunting before you commit to a lease, the first question is always the same: where do we land in the meantime that does not blow the housing allowance or cram the whole family, and the dog, into one hotel room?
Here is the move a lot of Fort Bliss families and service members make. They skip the hotel and the rushed short-term lease, and they set up at Great Escapes RV Resort in Anthony, TX, just up I-10 from El Paso. Full hookups, room for the rig and the pets, and month-to-month flexibility for the way military timelines actually work.
If you are searching for a Fort Bliss RV park or PCS-friendly housing near El Paso, give this two minutes.
The quick answer
Great Escapes RV Resort at 901 S Leisure Fun Road in Anthony, TX offers flexible monthly, full-hookup RV sites near El Paso, a practical base for military members on PCS or TDY orders to Fort Bliss. Every site has 20/30/50-amp electric, water, and sewer, with big-rig-friendly pull-thrus up to 80 feet, two fenced dog parks, on-site RV storage, and an easy I-10 drive to post. For orders of any length, the move is to request current monthly or long-term availability for your dates.
Built for the way military moves actually go
A PCS or a TDY is rarely tidy. Report dates shift, on-post housing has a waitlist, your household goods are in transit, and you may not want to sign a 12-month lease for an assignment that could change. A monthly RV site is the flexible middle ground the military life is missing.
This works whether you are:
- PCSing to Fort Bliss and need a place to land while you house-hunt or wait for on-post housing
- On a TDY or training rotation and just need a comfortable monthly spot, not a nightly hotel
- Living the RV life and bringing your rig with you to your next duty station
- A retiree or veteran passing through, or settling into the El Paso area
- Between leases, with the household goods still on a truck somewhere
Different orders, same smart play: a flat monthly rate and a real site beats a hotel that drains your per diem or a lease that boxes you in.
The math that stretches your allowance
Nightly hotels near El Paso quietly eat your budget one room at a time, and a short-term lease often costs a premium for the privilege of being short. A monthly RV site flips it. You bring your rig, you pay one flat monthly rate with full hookups, and you keep the difference.
Great Escapes keeps it simple with flexible nightly, weekly, and long-term stay rates, so you can match your stay to your orders instead of the other way around. For a service member watching a housing allowance or a per diem, that flat rate is money that stays in your pocket. Ask the park about current monthly pricing when you check availability.
Room for the whole family, the rig, and the dog
Anybody who has PCSed with pets knows the special pain of finding a place that takes the dog. Solved here. Great Escapes El Paso is pet friendly with two fenced dog parks, so your dog gets real room to run instead of being cooped up during an already stressful move.
There is room for everything else too. The 92 sites include big-rig-friendly pull-thrus running 80 by 35 feet and roomy back-ins, accommodating rigs up to 80 feet, so there is no wedging a fifth wheel into a compact spot. Every site has full hookups with 20/30/50-amp service on level gravel pads, with clean showers and restrooms and on-site laundry so the workday and the family routine both keep running.

Deploying or training? Store the rig here
If orders send you out for a stretch, the resort also offers on-site RV storage, so your rig has a safe home base while you are away. It is one less thing to figure out when a deployment or a long training rotation lands.
An easy I-10 run to post
Sitting right off I-10 on the Texas and New Mexico line, Anthony keeps you connected.

There is an upside to basing a little outside the busiest part of the city, too. You get quieter, well-lit grounds, wide desert and mountain views, and a calmer place to decompress after a long day of in-processing, all in the Sun City's famously sunny, mild climate.
