What to do
Water activities at Galveston Bay: Take advantage of proximity to Galveston Bay at Bay RV Park in San Leon, just two blocks from the water. "Bay RV Park is just two blocks away from Galveston Bay. We have huge, Texas-size sites with full hook-ups," according to a campground representative.
Space Center exploration: Located near NASA's Johnson Space Center, Space Center RV Park in League City offers a strategic location for space enthusiasts. One camper shares, "We uber to NASA and it was so convenient. We also had a shipt delivery to us for groceries!"
Kemah Boardwalk visits: Drive just 15 minutes from Friendswood to enjoy the rides and restaurants at Kemah Boardwalk. A camper at Jackie's Place RV Resort notes, "Located in BACLIFF, Texas Galveston County... Short Golf Cart Ride from Bay... Lots of places to eat and/or hang out."
What campers like
Resort-style amenities: Friendswood Texas RV parks offer extensive recreational facilities. One camper at Jamaica Beach RV Resort reports, "2 hot tubs, 1 indoor and 1 outdoor, 2 pools, 1 lazy river (so relaxing), 1 miniature golf course, 1 duck pond, 1 outdoor movie screen, 1 Pavilion with grills, and an awesome splash pad for the kids."
Clean facilities: Most parks maintain high cleanliness standards. A reviewer at Jackie's Place RV Resort mentioned, "Pads are all cement with room to park next to your rig. Beautiful pool, clean restrooms and showers."
Convenient location: The area provides easy access to both urban and coastal attractions. One visitor to Lakeview RV Resort observed, "You are extremely close to downtown, NRG, MD Anderson and Minutemaid Stadium."
What you should know
Site dimensions vary: While many parks accommodate large rigs, some sites have limitations. At Jamaica Beach RV Resort, a camper noted it's "Definitely resort-y, lots of fun things to do, very well kept, and very clean! Not for those looking for nature camping experience as you are close from neighbors (mostly big rigs)."
Traffic considerations: Some campgrounds experience road noise due to proximity to highways. One camper at Eric & Jay's RV Resort shared, "You are right next to interstate, but it's convenient to stores and easy to get in & out of gate."
Weather preparation: The Gulf Coast experiences hot, humid summers and occasional severe weather. A visitor at Alvin RV Resort mentioned, "Really enjoyed my multi-month stay here. Starting with the fast and friendly check in process and on to the concrete sites, well equipped monuments, and nice gated grounds."
Tips for camping with families
Water features for kids: Select campgrounds with dedicated children's water areas during hot months. A Jamaica Beach RV Resort visitor reported, "We enjoy the lazy river, putt, putt, and kayaking on the bay. It is an easy walk to the beach."
Schedule organized activities: Some parks offer planned events for younger campers. According to one parent, "The park runs activities all day for the kids but most are already engaged in one of the pools."
Consider proximity to attractions: Choose campgrounds based on your planned activities. At Eric & Jay's RV Resort, a family noted, "Loving life here at E&J Rv Resort. Very family friendly atmosphere with tons of amenities."
Tips from RVers
Accessibility considerations: Some parks have challenging entry points. One RVer cautioned, "If you are a large rig could be a little more difficult to maneuver through & the private shower was dirty."
Reservation timing: Book well in advance, particularly for winter months when snowbirds visit. A long-term camper at Lakeview RV Resort shared, "Has everything I need for a long term stay. Computer room, exercise equipment, showers, laundry. The grounds are well kept."
Connectivity options: Internet access varies between parks. At Eric & Jay's RV Resort, one reviewer explained their unique approach: "They have a 'no wifi' slogan, and the campground wifi is rendered obsolete within the confines of your designated space, instead favoring a hard-wired ethernet connection to your router."
