    Sea Rim State Park Campground

    The mosquitoes are serious here, but the beach is gorgeous.

    This was a spur-of-the-moment trip from NW Arkansas so we could dip our toes in the ocean in the middle of winter. It's unfortunate that you have to go through Port Arthur to get to the state park, but totally worth it once you get there. WARNING: the mosquitoes are serious here. We have an Aliner and although we use pool noodles to seal gaps in the A-frame's roof, they found a way in--hundreds of them. We only stayed the one night because of it. Having said that, if you have a class A/B/C camper, you should be fine. I wouldn't recommend it to tent campers even with the best bug spray...and we went in December! Clean, beautiful facilities. You can park in a site, or if you don't want/need utilities, you're allowed to camp on the beach.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    Little Hidden Gem

    This is a small hidden state park that has rustic beauty. 25 campsites with electric and water, that can be used for campers or tents (tent pads at each site). We camped with a 27 ft camper, with barely enough room. Slightly unlevel, needed 2 blocks on left side. Each site has a tent pad, table, and firepit. There is a dump station. Extremely clean shower and bath house. Several hiking and biking trails, as well as a small beach area, kayaking, fishing, gazebo and playground. A nature center was on site which has activities for families on the weekends! Walk in tent camping without electric and water available. Our site #4 was only 16 dollars a night. Park rangers and camp hosts were knowledgeable and kind.

    Palms RV Park

    Don’t go!

    Incorrect wiring with the 50 amp service destroyed our fridges and microwave. Owner was verbally aggressive and denied all responsibility. He offered nothing. Muddy, loud road, loud party, no laundry, murky creepy pond, no place to walk a dog.

    Galveston Island State Park Campground

    Right on the Beach

    I have been going to this campground since I was a little girl, I won’t even mention how many decades that is LOL. But I’ve never had a bad experience.  The campground was completely redone after Hurricane Ike in 2008, so all the campsites are newer, with updated tables, BBQ pits and so forth. You can literally camp on the beach if you choose to. There are even full hook-up campsites within mere feet of the beach.  But book early because these sites fill up fast.  Lots to do of course. Swimming, laying on the beach, birdwatching,  Fishing, crabbing, surfing (yes you can surf in Texas)  stand up paddle boarding, boogie boarding, sunbathing, the list is really only limited by your imagination. You can even build a campfire right in the beach at night and listen to the waves roll in while making s’mores. The campsites themselves are not very private because it’s an open setup so everyone can enjoy the view of the ocean.  The public restrooms and showers are nice and clean.  There are outdoor showers to rinse off after the beach.   There is even a fish cleaning station. This campsite is far enough out that you feel more isolated yet within a few miles of major restaurants and big box stores and grocery stores too.  The hosts are polite and helpful. If you get tired of the beach, you are within a short drive to the “Strand” downtown, Moody Gardens or Schlitterbahn water park. The location can’t be beat. Beautiful park with nice campsites, what more could you want?


Guide to Anahuac

Glamping and upscale camping options near Anahuac, Texas provide access to both coastal environments and inland forest ecosystems. The region sits at elevations typically under 50 feet above sea level, creating unique wetland habitats where wildlife thrives year-round. The Gulf Coast location means high humidity and mosquito activity during summer months, with milder conditions from October through April.

What to do

Kayaking trails: Sea Rim State Park offers mapped water routes through marshlands that connect to the Gulf. "Great kayaking trail map and recommendations from the rangers on where to go. There is hiking as well. Spend an afternoon or a week here," notes Lynn G. from Sea Rim State Park Campground.

Wildlife viewing: Village Creek State Park provides opportunities to spot native species in the Big Thicket ecosystem. A visitor explains, "About 30 mins to Big Thicket visitors center and hike access. There are several nice hikes in the park but many were closed due to a long-leaf pine reforestation project that involved logging and shredding." The park connects visitors with conservation efforts.

Fishing options: Multiple fishing platforms and shoreline access points exist throughout the region. At Fort Anahuac Park, "The bay is teeming with fish and beautiful birds. Locals fish here, so some traffic at night," according to Leigh D. The park includes fish cleaning stations for those who catch their dinner.

What campers like

Covered structures: Galveston Island State Park provides sheltered areas at most sites. "Each pad has it's own picnic table with covered pergola, a large hook to hang items you don't want critters getting into, a water spigot, and fire pit," writes Ashley C. about the Galveston Island State Park Campground experience.

Historical connections: Fort Anahuac Park preserves significant Texas history. "Call 409-267-2409 for information. Check out the Historical plaques. Fort Anahuac Park has connections to The Alamo," explains reviewer N I. The historical aspects provide educational value beyond typical camping.

Pool access: For those seeking luxury glamping near Anahuac, Brickhouse RV Resort includes water amenities. "This is a newer resort with concrete pads and level sites. The resort is clean and well kept. Pool is located next to Jarbo Bayou for birdwatching, kayaking and fishing," reports Pat M.

What you should know

Gate closures: Several parks enforce strict entrance policies. At Sea Rim, "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," warns Katie M., adding "There is no way in, no way out until the next morning."

Mosquito preparation: Insect protection is critical, particularly in warmer months. One camper at Camp Mohawk County Park advises, "Pet friendly with waste stations around for disposal of their waste," but notes you should bring insect repellent for everyone, including pets.

Seasonal flooding: Hurricane impacts continue to affect several parks. "Hurricane Harvey flooded most of the park in 2017 but now it is completely open. The park is very nice," explains Bradley H. about Village Creek State Park, highlighting the recovery but also the ongoing vulnerability.

Tips for camping with families

Recreational amenities: Look for parks with multiple activity options. One visitor at Camp Mohawk County Park explains, "This park has pavilions, playgrounds, a pool, baseball and basketball courts. You can boat around the pond. They do have cabins to rent," making it suitable for children with varying interests.

Beach access considerations: Galveston Island campsites require short walks to shorelines. "Sites are nice and wide and level. Beachside has recently (past few years) been redone and they did a fantastic job! You are within easy walking distance to the beach," reports Jim P., noting the comfort combined with accessibility.

Cabin alternatives: Glamping Yurts on Crystal Beach provides specialized accommodations with six yurt structures available for families seeking upscale options near Anahuac. The site offers trash collection and allows pets, making family stays more comfortable without requiring full camping equipment.

Tips from RVers

Power concerns: Electrical hookups vary significantly between sites. "Incorrect wiring with the 50 amp service destroyed our fridges and microwave. Owner was verbally aggressive and denied all responsibility," warns Heidi C. about one private park, suggesting electrical surge protectors are essential equipment.

Site dimensions: Some parks have limited space between units. At Palms RV Park, a visitor notes the park has "More long term tenants than over nighters. But still a good park. Quiet and kid friendly," though spaces may feel tight between permanent and temporary campers.

Dump station access: Most state parks provide centralized waste facilities rather than site hookups. "Easy walk to clean restroom with hot showers. We had 30 amp and water hook-ups. Dump station nearby with two sides," explains Craig J. about Village Creek State Park, detailing the practical layout for RV needs.
