      Brickhouse RV Resort

      Park manager is not friendly to guests

      I do not recommend staying here. I was bothered by park manager repeatedly. When I stayed here manager was nosy. He only cares about his reputation and how his park looks, he does not like kids and sent out messages to the people staying here recommending them to call Child Protective services if they see any kids playing outside. Bathrooms were frequently dirty, especially on Saturday and Sunday. I am never staying here again. I stayed with my wife and four children. This park is NOT family friendly. We would get mass text messages detailing various different authorities to call to complain about things as simple as children playing outside. The policing by the manager and Clear Lake Shores/Kemah was very excessive. Police would stop at people's homes at midnight to ask for directions to calls where guests should not be bothered by police absent involvement in the call. I saw this happen multiple times. A friend of mine who used to stay out in the park alleged she was assaulted and reported it and retaliation/harassment twice. The manager did not want to assist her by making the man leave or provide video evidence to have the man prosecuted for making it appear he was going to ram her ebike coming up the driveway. There is a convicted sex offender in the park. There were recently criminals staying in the cabins on and off as they do not do background checks. I do not reside in the park anymore. Lee is only concerned about maintaining a resort-style image and his own reputation and ignored significant guest safety concerns, allowing people to be touched against their will and harassed with slurs and name calling. Someone should not be called a B or F by another guest and then that harassment is ignored by management. Management should be addressing those situations. They need to address the steel rebar and unsafe wood hand railing on the docks before some gets seriously injured by the metal rods sticking out of the shore line. A child is going to fall off that pier and there will be a lawsuit to follow if that happens. One guests was even firing a projectile weapon out of his cabin door. The person later disappeared. I observed it when I was taking trash out. The park is not lgbtq friendly. If you take concerns about someone calling you by homophobic slurs to the park manager, the park manager will not get involved or assist you in preventing further anti-gay or lesbian insults being spoken against you by other ill spirited guests. I saw this happen to someone. It was mostly Republicans and rich people passing through. Edit: after I left the manager asked another guest that is staying there where I live. The manager appears to be trying to get at me personally since I have left 2 reviews for his park staying my experience.

      Brazos Bend State Park Campground

      Beautiful park just outside of Houston

      We have made day trips to this park for years, but haven’t taken a few nights and camped here - we have been missing out! Gorgeous park with miles and miles of hiking trails. Tons of wildlife - and not just the Alligators. Sites were level and spacious and very well maintained. Will be back again for sure!

      Close to the beach

      I was in a beach site with no hookups. Site was level and paved. But no bathrooms near by. Beach is a short walk. Wind was constant and it rained often. Staff was nice and was inexpensive for an out of stater.

      Very large RV Pads, short walk to sunrise!

      The pad had 50 Amp and Water, there is a dump station as you come in or leave. The pictures on their website don’t show how large and nicely paved the area is. The table is under a large covering and you have plenty of space to enjoy the ocean breeze!
      The beach is very nice and quiet (in February) and we enjoyed wonderful sunrises and walking/beach combing. There were a few mosquitos at dusk…but the seems to disappear. The walkway to beach is very smooth and accessible. There are other RV parks in the area that you have to cross the road to get to the beach, we appreciated that it was on the beach! Bath houses were nice. Seemed pretty well kept and recently built. (A couple years maybe?)

      Very well maintained park with easy access and tons to do

      Campsites are concrete, level, with a very nice shelter. We stayed on the beach side and easy access to the beach from pretty much any site. Restrooms are clean and well maintained all park. Rangers were very friendly and helpful. With such close proximity to Houston, it is a great weekend getaway!

      Excellent campground.

      This is an excellent campground. In my opinion, the camper pads are really nice. Long and wide can accommodate small or large campers and motorhomes. They are fire rings picnic tables. There's firewood for sale, lots of wildlife sightings. I got 5G network with T-MOBILE service and excellent television reception. The bathrooms and showers are really clean.

      Nice Beachside Park

      Everything seems updated and well maintained with a covered pavilion at each site and beach access close by.

    Guide to Kemah

    Glamping and camping options near Kemah, Texas include locations on both Trinity Bay and Galveston Bay shorelines. The coastal area maintains a humid subtropical climate with year-round temperatures averaging between 50°F in winter and 90°F in summer. Mosquitoes can be particularly aggressive during summer evenings, especially in bayou-adjacent camping areas like Jarbo Bayou where concrete pads provide stable foundations during occasional seasonal flooding.

    What to do

    Alligator watching: Brazos Bend State Park Campground offers exceptional wildlife viewing with numerous alligators visible on moderate temperature days. "If you go on a moderate temperature day (this is the key. If it is too hot or cold you won't see Gators) you can see literally dozens of massive alligators. We are talking 6 feet long and right on the pathway," notes Ashley C.

    Stargazing: The observatory at Brazos Bend State Park Campground hosts regular weekend events year-round. "The best part of this park is the observatory, which has special events and regular weekend hours pretty much all year. It's absolutely worth staying up late for this!" shares Kim B.

    Fishing: Fort Anahuac Park provides excellent fishing opportunities with dedicated facilities. "This park has a beautiful open expansive green space. Ball fields, play ground, nature trails, boat ramp, fishing pier, fish cleaning station and even fishing from the bank," explains N I.

    What campers like

    Direct beach access: The beachside camping at Galveston Island State Park Campground offers convenient shoreline proximity. "Campsites are concrete, level, with a very nice shelter. We stayed on the beach side and easy access to the beach from pretty much any site. Restrooms are clean and well maintained all park," reports Jim P.

    Updated facilities: The recently renovated beachside camping area at Galveston Island State Park features improved amenities. "Beach side is very nice since being remodeled. Great back in sites. Nice electrical and water service towers at sites. Great walking paths. Electric and water sites; nice dump station," writes James P.

    Waterfront views: Fort Anahuac Park offers no-cost camping with panoramic bay views. "Free camping on beautiful Trinity Bay. You must be self-sufficient and park on the gravel. We stayed three nights. The bay is teeming with fish and beautiful birds," shares Leigh D.

    What you should know

    Weather considerations: Thunderstorms can roll in quickly at coastal campgrounds. Tucker B. describes Fort Anahuac Park: "Arrived here just before a big thunderstorm rolled in. But it was super cool to watch as the lights of Houston illuminated the sky across the bay."

    Permit requirements: Fort Anahuac Park requires advance registration. "To camp you must be fully self contained, there are no hookups. You may see power in the park but that is for use at festivals, etc. Not for campers. Obtain a camping permit from the Commissioner Office," advises N I.

    Insects: Brazos Bend State Park Campground mosquitoes can be problematic during summer months. "If you go in the summer you need to watch out for mosquitoes. The observatory is amazing on clear nights," notes Joseph P.

    Campground navigation: Some RV parks can be confusing to navigate. Douglas T. observed at Traders Village RV Park: "The office gave us a map and showed us how to get to our site but virtually impossible to understand. A very nice gentleman that stayed here took us to our site. He said they have no idea how to do directions."

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Camp Mohawk County Park offers numerous family-friendly recreational facilities. "This park has pavilions, playgrounds, a pool, baseball and basketball courts. You can boat around the pond. They do have cabins to rent," explains Jeannette V.

    Nature trails: Camp Mohawk provides accessible trails for children. "I love this park it's a great place to take your family my granddaughter loves to walk the trails, very clean," shares Angela R.

    Weekend activities: Traders Village RV Park connects directly to a weekend market with activities for children. "Perfect with families with kids to wake up and go shopping and cheap all day pass rides!! This place is a Must go!!!" recommends Roxanne G.

    Tips from RVers

    Site spacing: Brickhouse RV Resort offers level concrete pads but with some limitations. "Nice level concrete pads. Very tightly packed together. Had a pool and clubhouse. Very nice clean bath/shower rooms and laundry facilities," notes Lawrence Robert T.

    Amenities: Brickhouse RV Resort provides waterside sites with convenient facilities. "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," reports Pat M.

    Power concerns: Electrical issues can affect equipment at some RV parks. At Palms RV Park, Heidi C. cautions: "Incorrect wiring with the 50 amp service destroyed our fridges and microwave. Owner was verbally aggressive and denied all responsibility."
