Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Alvin, TX

Great campground with wonderful staff who are very friendly. Full hookup, paved sites with heated saltwater pool and hot tub, workout facilities, clubhouse with games and puzzles, laundry facilities, a small camp store, and pet friendly with two small dog parks. The best thing about the location is that it backs up to Tom Bass park that has wonderful dog parks along with playgrounds and frisbee golf. Would definitely be staying here again!

It’s a large campground and spaces are very small. There’s a grass strip between camp sites. No picnic tables or grills. The office gave us a map and showed us how to get to our site but virtually impossible to understand. A very nice gentleman that stayed here took us to our site. He said they have no idea how to do directions and a buddy of his really messed up his camper by trolling around looking for their site. It’s very crowded and no room for awnings or for both campers side by side to put out awnings. There is a pool but it doesn’t look well maintained and there’s absolutely no chairs. Just the pool and it’s small. Laundry room is large. There’s no dog park or anywhere to walk your dog. Signs everywhere that say no pets, yet they are allowed. The flea market is only on the wknd. It’s close to a lot of restaurants and in a nice area.

Great, roomy site, full hookups, showers, laundry, dog park, pavilion, and more. Easy access to the beach.

This was such a blissful place to start my Texas snowbird trip. As a solo female traveler in a campervan I felt so incredibly safe and welcomed to this campground. Nancy and Butch are the kindest campground hosts I've ever encountered. They ensured to check in with me regularly during my two week stay, the bathroom, shower and laundry facilities were maintained consistently, and the dog park and closeness to the beach was perfect for my dog's daily exercise. For the reasonable price, I felt this campground delivered above and beyond. If I hadn't scheduled another campground, I would have stayed longer. Thank you to all at Beachside RV. You made my stay memorable.

The park is clean, but the sites are tight. The further you get to the front the louder the traffic noise is, but the sites are larger and spaced out more. It is a five and take. It has three locations with washer and dryers, two dog parks, a recreation room and easy access to Tom Bass park.

My family and I stayed her for a couple months. I loved the community and the friendly hopsilitaty the staff brought us. The dog park is huge and my labrador loves it. The beach is just a short walk there and super easy to get to. We love the quietness of the park also.

My husband and I came to the Houston rodeo and stayed here strictly for proximity to the stadium. The RV park did have a shuttle which was very nice to get us to and from. Most sites are large enough for big rigs, you do have to park on the gravel right in front of your rig which can be tight. Nice concrete pads at each site. Traffic can be loud and there are many full-time set ups here with permanent residents. Has a gate with a code so it did feel safe at night. Small dog park that could use some extra TLC. Laundry on premises, no play ground, good wifi and Verizon service.

We chose this RV park because it was one of the few that had power after hurricane. Full hook ups for 25 a night which was half the price of the other RV parks in the area. RV spots are tight but manageable. It appears that a large percentage of RVs are there on monthly rates. We met one person who was working at one of the refineries which explains the early morning activity with cars leaving. Beautiful little pond in the RV park with a little flock of domestic ducks that live in the pond. There is also a dog park surrounded by water. Restrooms are small but clean. Staff was very helpful. If we were planning a return trip we would definitely stay there again.

Month long stay, $730, water, 50 amp. End of October/beginning of November the park is booked out as well as during warmer months. Half of the facilities washers and dryers didn't work. Staff is great about communicating lawn days and other news for long term guests. Trash valet and 2 free parking spots. 2 dogs parks, one for large and another for smaller dogs.

This campground is on the water of Offatts Bayou which makes it a more reasonable price than the locations on the beach.  Many sites have a water view.  It is very convenient to all the places in Galveston as well as Houston.  The campground is very quiet at night.  The facilities are good.  There is a $25 pet fee to cover the cost of their two pet bag stations; be aware of that extra fee.

Just purchased my 1st RV. This was a "test run" with my dogs and cat. It's a huge park. Well maintained. Traveled alone and felt 100% safe. Lots of trails close to the campsite (burr oak). Only reason I have it 4 stars is my AT&T service was virtually non existent.

General: Huge RV Park located on the Gulf of Mexico (not Gulf of America!) on the Bolivar Peninsula; a Phase 2 expansion will eventually double the size of the park. (We stayed here two years ago and it looks like some of that expansion has already taken place.) There is just about every kind of amenity you can imagine here, including many facilities and activities geared toward families. There is a 10% discount for military and first responders.

Site Quality: As would be expected in an RV park, sites are close together with no privacy/separation between them. Sites include back-in sites (some are very close to the road), lakeview back-in sites, lakefront patio sites, premium pull-through sites, and beach club sites. All sites are FHU. IMO, the lakefront patio sites are the best as you back up to the lake. 

Bath/Shower house: Likely the most immaculate facilities we’ve ever encountered. Staff was constantly cleaning them throughout the day. The showers were heavenly. The only frustrating thing is that the electrical outlet was located across the room from the mirror, making it challenging to dry/style your hair. 

Activities/Amenities: Two pools: a family and an adult pool (with a full bar), kids park, golf cart rentals (you can drive them or your own personal vehicle on the beach with a permit), a stage for concerts, a bouncing pad, ball pits, and a dog park. There is also a camp store and a restaurant on-site. 

This was our first time staying in a resort RV park and we were overwhelmed but in a good way. Our site was a lakefront patio site which we booked at the off-season rate. The park was between a quarter and a third full, but I would not want to stay when it was completely full. The beach wasn’t the greatest, but we appreciated direct beach access for walks and runs. Five stars for the cleanliness and amenities even if it is not our typical camping experience.

Come here to see gators. I saw 19 in one weekend! No, they do not try to camp with you. That's in another section, so don't worry about that. The lakes used to be rice fields. The hiking is very flat. Actually is a little hard on the feet after a few miles. Humidity can be bad. Check out the observation tower and the nature store where you can pet a baby gator. Maybe go to a star party on a Saturday night.

Brazos Bend is know as the Alligator Park…and for good reason! Of you go on a moderate temperature day (this is the key. If it is too hot or cold you won't see Gators) you can see literally dozens of massive alligators. We are talking 6 feet long and right on the pathway. It's a fun adventure! There is a small nature centre where you can pet baby Gators and learn about them. Lots of pretty trails and look outs.

Camp Mohawk is a great get away close to home for many of us.  The staff is very

helpful and and kind.  They have cabins, dorms, tent camping, hiking trails, stocked

ponds for fishing, playgrounds, volleyball, basketball courts, pavilions for rent with

bar b q grills, plenty of picnic  tables throughout the park for convenience of park goers.

 Pet friendly with waste stations around for disposal of their waste.  Free  for day use
