Dump station at Intracoastal Camp site
Drove right in and use their dump station. Easy peasy; nobody said boo. It was clean so I kept it that way.

Great Find
Our RV GPS and Waze took us right to White Oak Park. We went directly to pull through site 6 with FHUs. All sites are pull-throughs and the 3 FHUs nearest the bathhouse have long pads(easily fit our 40” 5th wheel and F450 plus are more spacious than their 5 water and electric sites. All the sites have a really nice stand-up barbecue and their own trash can. Water pressure was good at 50 psi and we had no issues with utilities. There are some trees, but we were able to get a north sky shot for Starlink. We got 2 bars on Verizon. There’s a playground and a boat ramp into the river not far away. Right about dusk when the mosquitos started coming out, a spray truck came in, which was nice. The campground (CG) host who lives in the Thibodeau house across from site 6, came by to get one of our driver’s license numbers as check-in. Two roosters were running around the CG that started crowing at about 3:00 AM. Our Riley friends had suggested this quaint little 8-site CG and we wished we had stayed more than just overnight in this quaint little city park.

Rutherford Beach Campground
beach camping
Great spot to pull over your car to park on the sand. Lots of other RVs but not crowded and theres a long stretch of hard packed sand that i was able to access without a truck or RV. More people showed up around 5 but stayed a bit and left. Quiet night and morning.
anyone I talked to was friendly but reiterated it wasn't safe to swim, kind of disappointing but oh well.
One review here mentioned mosquitoes and its true, spent about an hour before bed slapping myself silly from all the ones that had gotten inside.
overall really easy place to pull up to, really pretty.

Mosquitos ruin it
The views are alright and it’s nice to have free beach access and a few amenities but I have never seen such thick clouds of mosquitos in my life. Made the grave mistake of opening the van door at night and spent the next TWO DAYS hunting down hundreds of mosquitos in our van from those two seconds. It was a nightmare.

Peaceful paradise
This location, the hosts, the animals and ponds all place you in a calm cocoon. My dog was thrilled to be allowed of leash. I loved the convenience of having electric and a beautiful pond view.
If you are an animal lover this is an easy 'yes' for a liason to stay.

Surprisingly Nice
Small little area on the river with nice pull through sites and some additional parking. We just needed a place to park the van for the night and it stormed one of the worsts nights we have stayed out in . 2 bath houses , cleanish . Boat ramp access to the river . If you find Gloria’s Kitchen she will cook you whatever you want .. would stay here again , not far off I-10

Boondocking on the Gulf coast.
Our trailer has narrow tires that are hard to pull on most beaches. The sand here packs well and supports our camper. You will need to be self contained. No hookups here. There are port-a-potties and sometimes food trucks on weekends.

Pretty sweet
Quite and perfect. Beautiful breezes and in the heat I welcome it. I am very impressed and will come Back.
Jasmine P.TravelerRutherford Beach Campground
Nice spot to camp
The sand is packed hard enough to pull a trailer right onto the beach. Plenty of room and there are dumpsters, an outside shower and a water spigot. The kids loved fishing right from camp.

Beach life

New Remodel
They did a fantastic job putting in the new Campground with full hook ups and extra large sites! Bath house is close by but we honestly didn’t use it. Nice wide hiking/biking trails, lots of water access, beautiful new bridges and a nice big playground. We will definitely revisit!

Hidden Gem by the river -Country charmer
Quiet and relaxing in the river with a beautiful bridge. Only a handful of sites but full hookups. Very clean camp areas, clean bathrooms and a nice pet area. Bring a fishing pole.

Unique and Charming
This place is the most unique and charming site to stay. We were greeted by gentle giant dogs (and a few neighbor dogs), a few goats, cute kids, and horses. Woke up to a pig grunting which we found utterly adorable. There is a great... I mean "Insane Sausage" place up the road you wont' want to miss. Loved this place and would stay again.

Clean, neat and an American flag at each site
William is the on-site manager, he is a great guy that cares about the campground and the campers. Big pull throughs and the cost is 12 bucks a night! Power and water.

Good one night stop
You feel like you’re camping in a parking but fine renovations clean restrooms with WiFi. $20 night with senior discount

Ocean view
Not to many campers. Probably because it’s cold and windy today. You can drive on the beach. Plenty of Verizon cell service. The water is cold but the bird watching and drive here was beautiful, serene and no traffic (again cold, windy and February) There is a row of port of potties at entrance of beach. The camping is free

The Mosquito Coast
The Mosquito Coast Dec 2022• We had RV campground reservations for 3 nights but left after one because of the mosquitoes. I had read reviews and came prepared with Thermacell repellent and DEET spray but were overwhelmed by the mosquitoes. My Labrador had mosquitoes swarming him. The campground and park is surrounded by a marsh. The mosquitoes are not bad on the beach where there is a breeze. The park rangers are very nice and the campground itself is nice with spacious flat spots with electric and water hook ups. A dump station is available. Verizon coverage is poor. About half the RV spots were used however I only saw one other camper outside of their RV while we were there. I guess everyone else stayed inside their RV because of the mosquitoes. If you are a first time beach camper to the Texas Gulf Coast, try boondocking on the beach here or further down the Bolivar Peninsula near Crystal Beach. You need to be away from the marsh where the breeze keeps the mosquitoes away.

Improvement road
This are has been hit by multiple hurricanes, flooding and fires. The rebuilding process is taking time but it is on it's way. Large viewing ponds of alligators, turtles and birds are surrounded by walking and biking trails for all different levels of activity. The sites are only full rv hookup because thats where the money is. Hopefully primative tent sites will open in the next year or two. Laundry, bathhouse and wifi are available. Ice, camping needs are NOT available for purchase but only an 8 minute drive away. Slight constant hum of traffic can be heard otherwise very quiet camp.

Paved level sites
This isn’t a destination town so prices are reasonable and the facilities are in great condition. Very friendly camp hosts, and a good spot for a layover. There is a rum distillery almost next door that is a fun free thing to do, otherwise you’re looking at a 15-20 minute drive to other activities in the area. Solid Wi-Fi, great phone reception for AT&T, spacious sites, and quiet park.

Exactly what I needed
For only $12 you get full hookups at a quiet campground. I felt very safe here. No one bothered me but a few friendly neighbors said hello.
Reservations were made online and there was no one to check in with when I got here. I had a nice quiet evening.
