What campers like

What you should know
Seasonal insect conditions: Mosquitoes can be intense, especially at dusk near water. A visitor to Sea Rim State Park Campground warned, "Once the sun goes down. An army of vampire mosquitos descend on you and your pets... They would be on you all over. Once sunrise came. They were gone." Bring plenty of repellent.
Cabin amenities vary significantly: Most require bringing your own supplies. "The cabin we've used was flooded and has not been rebuilt so we are looking for other places to hold our Spring Camp out," reported one camper, highlighting the importance of checking current availability and conditions.
Gate hours: Some parks strictly enforce closing times. A traveler noted, "I've been camping around the country for four months straight now and this is the only park - national, state, regional or otherwise - that I've encountered that literally locks their gate at night."
Tips for camping with families

Tips from RVers
Site selection: Look for level sites with proper hookups. At Eagles Point RV and Camping, visitors appreciate that "There's plenty of space for dispersed camping and the lake is magnificent." One camper noted they "got to choose a site right by the water."
Weather considerations: Be prepared for Gulf coast storms and heat. A Sea Rim visitor cautioned, "Not a great beach to camp on in stormy weather. No rock/sea wall to slow the surge or wave action."
Local amenities: Most cabin rental areas have nearby conveniences. Brickhouse RV Resort offers "plenty of restaurants and quite a few are in walking distance. Big name stores are close by as well as Kemah Boardwalk with all the touristy stuff you want to do."
