    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.

    Serendipity Bay RV Resort

    Peaceful but sites too close together

    Very well-maintained and pet-friendly RV park with various amenities such as a pool, fishing pier, and dog park. Sites are very close together with little room to set up outside between RVs. Very little room to park vehicle once RV is in place and limited space to back in. Enjoyed the peaceful sunrises and sunsets and the constant breeze was a plus to keep the humidity and heat down. Take plenty of anti-mosquito repellent, as around mid-morning and late afternoon, the mosquitoes come out in force. A good location for those wishing to fish, but not sightseeing. The town has very few amenities and only a couple of restaurants and small stores.

    Brackenridge Park & Campground

    Beautiful lake

    Randomly found this campground. There are some shaded spots and some wide open areas. All of the rv area is behind locked gates with codes that change. There is a police car that patrols the area. There are trails, a dog park, the lake, wildlife, an event center up the road, a small ball field and .... Wish I had found this earlier in our travels

    KOA Port Lavaca Matagorda Bay

    Up and Coming!

    This New Holiday Campground is really getting off the ground. Staff is amazing and very welcoming. They have great amenities and the campsites are great sized. Facilities are clean and nice upgrades. Laundry on site and machines work really well and its open 24/7. They have a camp store that is really great and well stocked. They are very dog friendly with a dog park and daily trash pick up at your site. The kids loved the pool and us parents enjoyed the hot tub.

    Brackenridge Recreation Complex

    A Full Recreation Area with camping

    A minimum of water and electric at every site (which we don’t need) The feel is more community park with camping. There is a 12 mile equestrian trail which bikes are allowed to ride on. Other flat trails are around the park and water. It is completely full this Saturday and there are lots of families, music and fires burning. I do not consider this to be a serene wilderness/wildlife area but a Camping area full of activities. Looks like a great place for a family reunion or wedding. Complete with frisbee golf, boating, swimming, dog park, playground and more. The grounds are very well kept.

    By the water

    Nicely equipped RV park right on water. Paid a few more dollars to have a pull thru site with FHU, cable & level concrete pad to pull on to. Nice big bathrooms with showers, laundry, pool, playground, gym room, small fenced dog run and large heated community room. No pets allowed in laundry/community room.

    Matagorda Bay Nature and RV Park

    Colorado River Waterfront Camping

    Pros:

    • Quick and friendly check-in

    .• Large parking area that is rig-friendly for check-in.

    • Knowledgeable park personnel

    • Nature center with interactive exhibits and gift shop

    • Well maintained. Daily we saw the camp hosts working diligently, even hosing down and scrubbing bird poop from campsites.

    • Saturday morning 1.5 hour guided Gulf beach walk($5/pp) by Paige and Whitley. Paige knew her“stuff” as she was pelted continuously with questions and she never missed a beat!

    • Complimentary early Saturday morning coffee and pastries.

    • Along the Colorado River but you can hear ocean roar where the river meets the Gulf of Mexico.

    • Level concrete parking pad surrounded by grass. Back-ins and drive-thrus.

    • Two sewer hook-up outlets.

    • Large concrete picnic table.

    • Very nice and clean toilets/shower building in an elevated building accessible by a ramp. Must have code to enter.

    • Laundry facility in toilet/shower building with code entry.

    • Nice Colorado River fishing piers with fish cleaning tables with freshwater spigot and a super pier over the beach/ocean.

    • Primo sunsets

    • Bay City, 20-minute drive, for the closest Walmart, HEB and other retailers and restaurants.

    Cons:

    • LCRA $6 on-line reservation fee.

    • Absolutely no trees or vegetation between sites which equals NO SHADE and NO PRIVACY.

    • Ocean“breeze” made it impossible to deploy trailer awning.

    • No fire pits, but if you bring your own with a screen cover, you may have a fire, if you bring wood as no wood is sold at this park.

    • NOT A DARK SKY FRIENDLY CAMPGROUND due to way too many street lights throughout the campground, along the river bank and on the fishing piers.  This would be a 5 star campground if there was more darkness!

    • Complimentary LCRA WIFI was weak and unreliable.

    • When the ocean"breeze" died down and the humidity was up, we were attacked by swarms of mosquitos which required us to heavily apply repellent in mid-February

    • Not much in the town of Matagorda, basically a fishing village, and of those businesses, not many operating in mid-February.
