Best RV Parks & Resorts near Brenham, TX

Several RV parks serve the Brenham area with varying amenities and site configurations. Artesian RV Campground on Highway 290 offers big-rig-friendly spots with electric, sewer, and water hookups including 50-amp service.

"It's a comfortable place to stay along the 290," notes one traveler about Artesian, though they mentioned preferring other nearby options.

    Big Creek Resort, Marina, & Campground

    One of my favorite local campgrounds

    I like this park because it's close to home. It's got a good space between sites and is broken into 3 or 4 areas so you're not just piled in like sardines. You can being 4-wheeled vehicles that have a steering wheel. No sewer hookups, but there is a dump station. Unfortunately, subsequent major floods have caused them to lose much of the tree cover. It's great when camping in groups though, which we do quite often. All sites have views of the lake. They have a really good fireworks display on 4th of July. 

    Type of Park: Private-owned 

    Check In: 4p Check Out: 3p 

    Site#79- Back-In

    $35 per night($105 total) 

    Water 20/30/50 amp

    Grass site. No rock or concrete base

    On the end of the line so no one is on the"front" side of the camper 

    Good area for camping in groups 

    Close to good swimming areas and store 

    Close to boat ramp

    👎🏻 Cons: Split-level site- table is down a slight hill from parking area. No shade 

    Across from the cabins on stilts, lake view is a little blocked 

    Cabins are being refurbished and the equipment and materials are stacked near the site(and some construction noise) 

    No grill or fire ring at this site

    📝 Park Notes: Gates closed and locked from midnight to 6 am on weekends. 

    Closed at 10 pm on week days. 

    Can bring golf carts, ATV's(machines with steering wheels, not handle bars) 

    Dump Station- a little hard to get to for big rigs. Also hard to leave the park from there. You may have to go back into the park to turn around. 

    Park Store- has fishing bait and supplies, too 

    Cabins are under re-construction There is a Places Munzee here

    Boat Ramp

    🐦 Wildlife: Birds: Cormorants(Water Turkeys), barn swallows, scissor-tail

    Stagecoach RV Park

    Clean, well kept and friendly host.

    This is more like a mobile home park for RV’s than a camping experience. Each space is a pull through that has a picnic table and full hookups including sewer. Most sites have trees. Most spaces are occupied by long term tenants as evidenced by skirting around the rigs. Evidently several children live here as well. There is a dedicated area to take dogs so they can do their business.
    Quite a few speed bumps. No gates so anyone can enter/exit at will. Laundry room and bathrooms have locks. Bathrooms are clean and free hot water. Pool/hot tub were closed. I stayed 3 nights in April. It felt safe, so I’d stay here again. People said hello when walking and waved when they drove by.

    Worst thing was the number of speed bumps…useful but not really RV friendly. I’ve added photos, and although I copied them from another source, they are valid photos of what I saw and experienced.

    Stephen F. Austin State Park Campground

    Pleasant Texas State Park

    We had a really nice relaxing stay at Stephen F Austin State Park near San Filepe, Texas. Great little state park easily accessed from I-10. The 38 RV sites are all asphalt pad pull throughs with 30/15 amp electric, water and sewer complete with concrete pad for table, fire pit, lantern and all well spaced for plenty of privacy...big rig friendly. They have an additional 39 tent only sites with water and 25 primitive. Screened shelters are reservable for tent camping with 20 amp electric and water plus one rustic cabin with amenities. There is a$5 daily entrance fee in addition to camping fees. The bathhouse facilities are brand new. It's a small park but they do have five miles of trails for hiking/biking with views of the Brazos River. We enjoyed the wildlife; deer strolling in the campground every morning and evening, birds, rabbits, frogs, turtles, a bobcat and numerous owls. They have a Nature Center; however it was not open during our visit. The park office has a small store with sundries and park souvenirs. The nearby San Felipe de Austin State His­toric Site tells the story of early settlers to Texas and is worth a visit. We made a run to the nearby town of Sealy to do a much needed laundry stop...small community with grocery, dining and fuel to meet most needs.

    wonderful

    We stayed here for almost five weeks, and we had a wonderful time! A wonderful team and a multitude of wonderful amenities! There is not a lot of traffic or noise because there are a lot of full-time residents and friendly neighbors. The park was spotless, and it featured wide roads, concrete pads that were level, with complete connections. Pet-friendly; our two canine companions absolutely adored the dog wash station. Recommendation heartily! contexto
