Most glamping sites require advance reservations, especially during peak seasons when these unique accommodation options fill quickly.

    Matagorda Bay Nature and RV Park

    The campground is nice but the bungalow’s furniture and mattresses are bad

    The furniture is out  door furniture even in doors. They are not comfortable at all. U slide off the couch . Never did get the tv to work. The mattresses are the worst I’ve even slept on. My body hurts and is bruised on my hips from laying on the hard mattresses. There is no back support on the chairs of the dining table. The backs of the chairs are short so u can’t lean back in them. They need to redo the furniture because it’s cheap junk. And they made all of them with one bathroom. Six people with one bathroom and they have a bungalow that sleeps eight still with only one bathroom. Also the front door needs a blind because anyone can look in at night .

    Close to whatever you need

    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. There is a convenient laundry facility on site as well as a clubhouse. Staff is very friendly. There are 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.

    Brazos Bend State Park Campground

    Getting back to nature

    We recently decided we wanted to spend more time outside and over the last year started accumulating camping supplies. When it was finally time to put them to use we chose Brazos Bend because it wasn't to far from the city and had a lot of hiking trails. This park is amazing! We saw around 15 alligators while hiking, and these are animals in the wild in their habitat (not like the gator farms where some dude is sticking his head in ones mouth). The have a nature center where park rangers give you info about the animals in the park and let you see snakes and baby alligators up close. The campsites have a fire pit, table and grill and for the most part lots of shade trees. All the hiking trails were accessible right from our site. Since we only camped overnight we didn't use any of the facilities but heard they were very clean. We ended up buying the texas state park pass and cannot wait to come back!

    Ranger Review: Kameng Boots by Mishmi Takin at Brazos Bend State Park

    Campground Review

    It's incredible that I was born and raised in Houston and have lived here the past four years but haven't made it out to Brazos Bend State Park until now! A quick, 45 minute drive southwest will get you out of the concrete jungle that is the sprawling Space City metropolis and into one of the lushest, greenest parts of Texas. Brazos Bend is a "Nature Lover's Paradise" - there is abundant wildlife. There is great fishing, ample bird watching, and lots and lots of alligators (!). Lots of trails for walking, running, biking, and horseback riding. The George Observatory is a pretty amazing feature of this park (but only open Saturdays).

    We arrived at Brazos Bend on a Friday afternoon and were able to walk-in no problem. Walk-in rate is $12/day + the daily park entrance fee ($5 for adults, free for kids). I have a Texas State Parks Pass so we didn't have to pay the entrance fees (saved us $40 for two nights of camping!). Additionally there were several other great options including: Full-Site RV hook-up ($25/night), Standard Camping ($20/night, incl. water & electricity), and 14 Cabins ($80-200/night but have everything you could ever need or want).

    We did a lot of nature walks, game playing, and swimming during our two days at Brazos Bend State Park. Summer is probably not the best time to visit any park in Texas - its hot and muggy and the mosquitos are out in full force. Bring your DEET. Seriously. Despite that though, we were very pleasantly surprised by the amenities (swimming pool, screened in picnic tables, fire pits, and tent pads!)

    Product Review

    As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get products to test from time to time - this past weekend at Brazos Bend I tested out the Kameng Mid eVent Waterproof Hiking Boot by Mishmi Takin.

    These boots have got it all.

    First, these boots are hella comfortable! I was blown away how comfortable they were right out of the box. Over the years, I've owned many pairs of hiking boots and they all required a significant break-in period. Not these!

    Second, they're waterproof AND breathable. Not water resistant, like actually water proof.

    Third, the look great. All 3 color schemes are fantastic I had a tough time choosing between green, grey and orange.

    Fourth, so lightweight. These only weigh 1.5lbs so even though they are boots, they won't weigh you down.

    5/5 Would Recommend.


Guide to Brazoria

Brazoria, Texas sits along the Gulf Coast with elevations near sea level, creating a unique wetland ecosystem where wildlife thrives year-round. Summer humidity reaches above 90% with temperatures often exceeding 90°F, while winters remain mild with occasional cold fronts. Camping options range from established campgrounds with modern amenities to unique yurt accommodations that blend canvas walls with solid structural elements.

What to do

Wildlife observation: near water: Camp Mohawk County Park offers multiple hiking trails through wooded areas where campers can spot native Texas wildlife. One visitor noted, "I love this park it's a great place to take your family my granddaughter loves to walk the trails, very clean."

Stargazing: Saturday evenings: Brazos Bend State Park Campground features the George Observatory where astronomy enthusiasts share their equipment and knowledge. "The observatory is also incredible. There are so many friendly astronomy enthusiasts who are willing to share a peek through their telescope and share their knowledge," reports one camper.

Fishing: various species: At Matagorda Bay Nature and RV Park, you can fish directly from piers along the Colorado River. The park provides "fish cleaning tables with freshwater spigot and a super pier over the beach/ocean," according to a recent visitor.

What campers like

Spacious sites: with concrete pads: Galveston Island State Park Campground features recently renovated beachside sites with concrete pads. A camper mentions, "Sites are nice and wide and level. Beachside has recently been redone and they did a fantastic job! You are within easy walking distance to the beach."

Clean facilities: daily maintenance: Camp hosts at Matagorda Bay Nature and RV Park work "diligently, even hosing down and scrubbing bird poop from campsites," according to a reviewer who appreciated the well-maintained grounds.

Yurt camping: alternative lodging: For those interested in yurt camping near Brazoria, Texas, the canvas-walled yurts at Matagorda Bay provide a comfortable middle ground between tent camping and cabin rentals. The structures include "furnished interiors and nearby shower facilities," making them a popular choice for families new to camping.

What you should know

Weather considerations: humidity and insects: The Gulf Coast climate brings mosquitoes, especially in warmer months. At Serendipity Bay RV Resort, a visitor warns, "Take plenty of anti-mosquito repellent, as around mid-morning and late afternoon, the mosquitoes come out in force."

Reservation requirements: plan ahead: Most campgrounds require advance booking, particularly for specialized accommodations like yurts in the Brazoria area. Sites fill quickly, especially during peak spring and fall seasons.

Limited shade: sun exposure: Many Gulf Coast campgrounds lack natural shade. A Matagorda Bay camper noted, "Absolutely no trees or vegetation between sites which equals NO SHADE and NO PRIVACY," so bring portable shade structures when camping in summer months.

Tips for camping with families

Interactive nature programs: guided walks: Camp Mohawk County Park offers family-friendly amenities including "pavilions, playgrounds, a pool, baseball and basketball courts. You can boat around the pond. They do have cabins to rent," making it ideal for families with varied interests.

Child-friendly trails: accessible paths: Brazos Bend State Park features multiple trails suitable for children of all ages. A regular visitor shares, "It's always fun to hike or bike around the trails and see all types of birds, alligators, and other wildlife."

Safety near water: wildlife awareness: When camping with children near waters containing alligators, maintain a safe distance. Brazos Bend State Park is known for alligator sightings, with one camper reporting, "Have also seen lots of alligators, as advertised, which has been pretty cool!"

Tips from RVers

Full hookup availability: amenities vary: Brickhouse RV Resort provides concrete pads with full hookups. A visitor notes, "This is a newer resort with concrete pads and level sites. The resort is clean and well kept."

Site spacing: privacy considerations: Many RV parks in the Brazoria region have closely spaced sites. At Brickhouse RV Resort, one camper observed, "Very tightly packed together," while another mentioned parking challenges: "Only real problem was the people park on the main thruway making getting in and out with the trailer difficult."

Coastal wind factors: awning precautions: Gulf breezes can be strong enough to damage RV awnings. A Matagorda Bay camper warned, "Ocean 'breeze' made it impossible to deploy trailer awning," suggesting RVers secure or retract awnings during windy conditions.
