    Brazos Bend State Park

    Hidden Gem in the Texas Swamp

    We stayed at spot 128 in the Burr Oak. It was very easy to back into, the site is super wide and full asphalt. Site was very level. Bathrooms were somewhat close, about 4 or 5 sites down with a shortcut through the woods. Not a lot of street lights throughout the campground made things nice and quiet at night. The site had good Verizon cell service, around 25-50 mbps. The Tmobile service was around the same. This place is very remote and the park itself is huge, we only stayed one night but it has a ton to offer! Overall the campground was clean, very quiet, with a ton of activities.

    Great! Will return!

    Stayed on the beachside & loved it. Concrete pads, clean shower house, picnic table under gazebo, leashed dog allowed on beach, close to boardwalk for beach access.

    ONE OF OUR FAVORITES

    This park is really back in there as from the office to the sites it's a good distance which is nice. Level sites and more than enough room between sites. If you like hiking, you can get it done here, just watch out for the gators.....

    very positive camp

     It sounds like you had a memorable experience during your stay! Friendly staff, clean facilities, and great beach walks definitely contribute to a positive impression. It's wise to prefer the bay side sites for a quieter atmosphere and fewer crowds. Watching interesting birds adds to the charm, but it's essential to stay cautious of snakes, as you mentioned encountering a rattler. Making reservations in advance seems like a good tip to avoid any hassle, especially during busy weekends. If you need any assistance with your writing tasks, consider checking out https://payforessay.net/ for reliable help. Additionally, having reservations in advance can provide peace of mind and ensure a smoother experience during your stay, allowing you to focus more on enjoying the surroundings and less on logistical concerns.

    Great State Park for Hiking/Biking

    We stayed in spot 112 in February 2024.  

    • Sites are very nice, wide, and (mostly) level.  
    • Campground is kept clean.  
    • Bathroom is a bit outdated, but still clean.
    • Trails are very nice and appear top be kept up regularly.  Just watch out for the alligators.
    • Don't forget to reserve a spot at the observatory on Saturday nights...

    Great Spot—Busy!

    We stayed here almost 10 days. Did some jockeying around because we didn’t have reservations. Friendly staff, clean facilities, great beach walks, large sites. We prefer the bay side sites—quieter and fewer people. Lots of interesting birds to see, and watch out for snakes! We saw a big rattler on the boardwalk but we gave it space and it moved off right away. I would recommend a reservation to save hassles as this place fills up on the weekends.

    Galveston Island State Park

    Awesome location , great facilities

    Starting to get busy, probably the best time of year - before it warms up and the bugs return. Short walk to beach, close to town if you need anything. Did not use facilities so no comment other than great 50 amp and good water.

    Only negative is dump station is a challenge if using tote (no ramp, gotta haul up curb). Campground facilities says there is sewer hookup. There is not ( other than for hosts)

    Follett’s Island Beach

    Amazing experience

    We drove our 32ft class C (with tow dolly attached) on the beach without any issue getting in or out, and we saw multiple 2 wheel drive vehicles drive allllll the way down the beach. The sand is compact basically all the way throughout the entire beach. The weather was cloudy when we were there but the potential for a beautiful sunrise on the beach is there. There weren’t a lot of people on the beach during the week, but the weekend was slammed with all sorts of trucks and cars parked on the beach. Some small businesses drove by selling goods from their vehicles, like ice cream trucks and flags.

    Oh! And you know the scenes in movies where they have a campfire on the beach? But no beach ever allows a campfire? They allow them here!

    South Main RV Park

    Good for proximity to NRG stadium

    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.

    Basic stop over park

    Mostly full timers. Older rv’s. They have a couple spots for stop overs. The people are really nice and friendly. Lots and lots of dogs but there is no off leash area for them. There is also a mommy and her teenager donkeys who like carrots and apples.

    Galveston Bay RV Resort & Marina

    Galveston Bay RV Resort & Marina is THE BEST place we have ever stayed at!!!

    Annie, the manager, was very helpful and answered all my questions. She even came in on her day off to make sure we were given the correct waterfront site. I also noticed all the people staying were very nice and would say hello or wave if driving by. There is 2 nice swimming pools. One pool for kids and the other for adults. The Marina for our boat was perfect and inside a cove that was nicely made out of wood. I could see my boat from where our motorhome was and took 2 minutes to be out fishing. The fishing is absolutely AMAZING! If you don't have a boat, the resort has 2 big fishing docks with very bright night lights. You will catch a fish in under 30 seconds at night using a live shrimp. On weekends, they have a Palapa and do Karaoke. Also, there was Bingo and a painting party in the large community room. The Resort reminds me of being in Hawaii with the way they built and decorated. They just need steel drum or tropical music playing in the background and you wouldn't think you were in the US Mainland. 5 stars and highly recommended!!!

    Nice beach park, recently reopened

    We stayed in the RV loop by the beach. Quite a few sites but they aren't as crowded as some beach campgrounds. Really nice covered concrete pad with a picnic table. Nice new bath houses. The hiking trails are all through grassy areas with ticks so be aware. The beach in this area is nice and pretty flat so you can go out into the ocean pretty far.

    Quiet spot right on the water

    We camped out on the beach for three days at a few different locations and had no problems other than soft sand at one of the access roads (check before you drive into the sand) Minimal traffic in September and the beach was still cleaned of seaweed and debris daily due to the hurricane and higher tides - but we only had water touch our tires one night. Overall, great spot! Just pick your driving lanes and parking spots carefully without 4x4

    Back to nature with an astronomical view!

    The birds singing in the meadow wake you gently in the morning. There's numerous trails to hike or bike. the observatory and nature centers a bonus to this well appointed state campground.

    Hike Bike Gaters and Birds

    Might as well make this a national park. Was amazing. Campground has huge level pads with big campsites. Well groomed and very clean. So many walking and biking trails. We saw around 30 alligators, 100s of birds and 2 beavers (I think). Was humid and around 85 degrees most of the time.

    Riverside Park

    Great campground for reasonable price

    This park is about 7 miles from Bay City and is between the Colorado River and Hossey Slough. There are two camping loops. The Wilderness loop has electricity and water on the Hossey Slough and is accessed on a gravel road and the sites are also gravel. It has a very rustic feel and is beautiful. The only downside is the showers and bathroom are about a quarter mile away at the office. The bathrooms are older, but spacious and clean. The other loop is on the Colorado River and has full hook-ups. The sites are very close together. We were here on a February weekend and there was only one other camper in the Wilderness loop. Would definitely stay here again.

    Great free beach camping spot

    Free beach camping between access 3 and 5. Stayed here end of December. Nice temperatures and great view on the gulf. A lot of space. Some campers but a lot privacy. Sand is not soft so no 4x4 required. You have to he self sustained since there is nothing here...just you and the gulf.
