  Quintana Beach County Park

  Nice relaxing beach park

  We stayed here during the week in April, and the weather was perfect. A nice steady breeze kept the mosquitoes away, which we heard can be pretty bad. They have 30 amp FHU sites as well as 50 amp. Also have nice looking cabins for rent. A short walk over a nice boardwalk to the beach. Also half mile walk to the bird sanctuary, which is awesome for bird lovers. Free wifi, but the connection kept dropping. Great 5G connection with Verizon. Level, concrete pads. We required no leveling. Sites are spacious and patio is surrounded with well mowed grass. Campground is on a ship channel and it was fun watching the huge tankers go by. We really enjoyed this park and will return. No shade, so it would be quite hot in summer.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  The Breeze Beachfront Resort

  Small, nice, beachfront !

  Very nice place. Only 14 spaces all with concrete pad, picnic table, and full hookups. Very clean and well maintained. Just steps from the beach with an outdoor shower to clean off the sand before you head home. Also a 6(?) room hotel on site. Staff is always available. The company who does the lawn care accidentally cut both my sewer hoses and The Breeze owners had them replaced in 5 minutes!
