Best Campgrounds near Brownsville, TX

We came down for a 2 week vacation and decided to stay 3 months instead! Will definitely be making Isla Blanca our new home for the winter!

Stayed an entire month and loved every single day! Beach area is one of the best and well maintained. Sites are small in certain areas, but others are generous.

Volley Random is a multiplayer volleyball game where players compete in fast-paced matches, aiming to score points by strategically hitting the ball over the net while dodging opponents' moves.

Very nice park, 3 pools, friendly people

Jake from the Dyrt here! We're excited to have this campground on the Dyrt and ready for you to book, check them out and make sure to leave a review!

Stayed here for about a week in July 2023. Very nice pool, hot tub, showers and bathrooms.  Verizon was about 1 bar 4g

Interior roads are in need of repair. Outside loop new.

Loved all the activities/entertainment they offered. DID NOT like the daily winds of 13-40 mph.

If your looking for a spot to winter over this could be the spot for you. It is crowded, but as a solo nomad I find it refreshing to be in a community setting from time to time. Big clubhouse with a full kitchen and full size pool table plus all kinds of events like fish fries, chilli cook offs, live music, bingo, karaoke and more. I am not into public swimming pools but they have one that is very nice and well maintained. Individual mail boxes to transfer your mail service to and of course package delivery in the library. Located 20min. from the SpaceX launch pad on Boca Chica Beach which you can drive on and allows dogs. Also South Padre Island which is like Daytona Beach on steroids. Monthly rates are O.K. but with location and amenities a fairly good deal. Thinking of making this my winter home!

Very nice place and the people are great. Mostly used by winter Texans, visiting from Wisconsin and Michigan. Very clean and well maintained.

Adult resort, lots of activities and super friendly residents!

Place was very well kept. Nothing fancy though. Rinse off area, restroom and picnic area at the main entrance. Great place for a quick beach walk or a swim. The location is regularly patrolled as well. Parking wasn’t packed for it being a weekend so that’s always a plus!

Spiritual awakening

An enjoyable place next to South Padre Island that offers golf swimming pools hot tubs social events and a lot of friendly people

Llano Grande was a nice park and we enjoyed our stay there, but it sounded lime there were some issues with pools being heated and communication on events. We dont really use ammenities, so didnt affect us, but could hear grumbling among guests. We had a nice pull thru site, level and plenty long and were close to the laundryroom/pool. Everyone had a golf cart and it was nice to see all the activity going on. There is a big canal behind the park with a levy you can walk on, a nice rec room, a shuffleboard area, horseshoe area, three pools, pickleball courts, a golf course and very nice people. I was bummed that it was so far from the beach. There is a bird viewing state park near, costco and walmart were fairly close and South Padre Island was about an hour away.

So close to the beach. Bathrooms were clean and they have a lock so only campers can use. Pickle ball courts were used every morning. They did not allow wood fires.

I stayed here for February and March while visiting my aunt, who snow birds at Fig Tree. While it’s marketed as a 55+ community, they do allow a small portion of spots to be booked by younger singles or couples (I don’t think they would allow families with children, however). They have a wide array of events weekly that can be fun to attend, and the residents and staff are kind and enjoyable. The park is clean but could use some upgrades/fixing up (a fence needs to be replaced, 1-2 washer/dryers are usually out of order, the gate was broken during my stay, etc), but they are actively working on improvements. Pets are welcome, it’s about 45 minutes from South Padre, and great for day trips into Mexico.

Don’t count on their WiFi working (it is also not secured), but I did have great service with Verizon and good service with AT&T.

Overall, I would definitely consider coming back next winter.

Camped here three nights in my campervan in mid February in the dispersed camping area a.k.a parking lot. Pros: 1 minute walk to the beach, close to the very popular Clayton's, bathrooms with showers, trash cans, parking lot has a slight incline to it but I was able to compensate with levelers. Cons: bathrooms chained closed at 5:30 pm and not reopened until 7:30-8 ish. Only one of three showers worked and only cold water, bathroom sinks were inoperable, children's play area was closed and looked to be in disrepair. Feeling generous about giving it 3 stars. It wasn't great, it wasn't terrible. Might be better during the summer season. Still, at $20 a night, they could at least let you pee after 5:30. Yeeesh!

From the park map, it looked like the campsites were pack in like sardines. When we got there, we found very nice, spacious site right on the water. We were there on a Sunday, so there were lots of families grilling and fishing, but we would not have known if we didn’t leave the campsite. The bathrooms were clean, but sparse. They were also used by day-trippers. We enjoyed watching the birds, particularly the pelicans which entertained us by diving into the water in front of our campsite.
