Best RV Parks Near Lockheed Martin Fort Worth — A Contractor''s Guide
If you have landed a contract at Lockheed Martin's Fort Worth facility — or at NAS Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base next door — you already know that short-term housing in the DFW area is expensive and hard to find. Hotels run $100–$180 a night. Corporate apartments require 3-month leases. Furnished rentals are scarce.
That is exactly why hundreds of traveling workers, defense contractors, and military personnel choose to bring their RV and park it close to the job site. It is cheaper, more flexible, and — if you pick the right park — surprisingly comfortable.
This guide covers everything you need to know about RV parking near Lockheed Martin Fort Worth, including what to look for, what to avoid, and why Settlers Haven RV Park is the closest full-hookup option to the plant.
How Far Is Lockheed Martin from Fort Worth RV Parks?
Lockheed Martin's Fort Worth facility sits at the intersection of Hwy 183 and Lockheed Blvd in the western Fort Worth / White Settlement area. NAS Fort Worth JRB shares the same airfield immediately to the south.
Settlers Haven RV Park is located at 410 N Cherry Lane, White Settlement, TX 76108 — approximately 3 miles from the Lockheed Martin main gate. That is a 7–10 minute drive with no highway required. Most mornings you can be at your workstation before the coffee finishes brewing.
Compare that to RV parks on the east side of Fort Worth or near downtown, which can put you 20–35 minutes away depending on I-30 traffic.
What to Look for in a Contractor RV Park
Not all RV parks are built for working professionals. Here is what matters when you are on a multi-week or multi-month contract:
Full Hookups (Water, Electric, Sewer)
This is non-negotiable for a long-term stay. Full hookups mean you are not dumping tanks every few days or hauling water. Look for 30-amp and 50-amp electric service — most modern rigs need 50-amp.
Settlers Haven offers full hookups on every site: water, 30-amp and 50-amp electric, and sewer. Monthly electric is metered separately so you only pay for what you use.
Monthly Rates That Make Financial Sense
A hotel at $120/night runs $3,600 a month. A furnished apartment near the plant starts around $1,800–$2,200 with a lease.
Settlers Haven monthly rates start at $750 — all-in for water and sewer, with electric metered at cost. For a contractor on a 3-month engagement, that is a potential savings of $3,000–$5,000 compared to hotel living.
Weekly rates start at $250. Daily rates start at $59 if you only need a few nights.
Proximity to Groceries, Restaurants, and Services
White Settlement is a fully built-out suburb with H-E-B, Walmart, and dozens of restaurants within 5 minutes of the park. You are not roughing it — you are living in a neighborhood.
Security and Quiet Hours
A park full of long-term working residents tends to be quieter and more orderly than a transient campground. Settlers Haven enforces quiet hours and has on-site management.
Laundry On-Site
When you are working 10-hour days, the last thing you want is a laundromat run. Settlers Haven has on-site washers and dryers available to all guests.
Monthly vs. Weekly vs. Daily: Which Rate Makes Sense?
| Stay Length | Rate at Settlers Haven | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1–6 nights | $59/night | Full hookups included |
| 1–3 weeks | $250/week | Best for short rotations |
| 1+ months | $750/month | Water/sewer included; electric metered |
NAS Fort Worth JRB Personnel
Active duty, reserve, and civilian personnel assigned to NAS Fort Worth JRB have the same proximity advantage. The base's main gate on White Settlement Road is less than 4 miles from Settlers Haven. Many service members use the park during PCS transitions, TDY assignments, or while waiting for on-base housing.
