Best Campgrounds near Lake Jackson, TX

We love this beach. It’s our third time staying here, and each time it’s been quiet, peaceful, and hardly any other campers. We worried a little about the tide this time, but we kept an eye on it and it didn’t come near us. We stayed here in early December without a permit, and it was fine. The permits you buy are valid from January to December and we had heard that they don’t really enforce the permit rule this late in the year. The sheriff drove by a few times, as well as some beach workers and others who looked to be in an official capacity, and nobody stopped to check our permit. Nice sunrise and an amazing sunset behind the houses. Good cell reception. Beach isn’t really flat, it slopes down towards the water, but it’s close enough.

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.

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

Staying here as a pass through for a few nights. VERY clean campground. Very happy with the tidiness and keep up of it. The staff were great at check in. Sites are far enough away that you have privacy. Nice bathrooms and playground area. My dogs have enjoyed walking the big loops. Have also seen lots of alligators, as advertised, which has been pretty cool! Only downfall is the mosquitos, which isn’t the campgrounds fault. Just with the heat and swamps/lakes they are particularly bad. Large clean sites with water and electricity. My starlink is a little spotty with the trees but am still able to work remote with no major issues.

Very quiet so far but we’re here through the week! Lots of people are leaving trash behind! Please don’t be that person and ruin it for everyone! Friendly atmosphere quiet beaches! Great place to camp

There were approximately 8 boondocks here, there is adequate space to accommodate more. The weekends are loud and busy, during the week it calms down and gets quiet. There are also paramotors that fly over head, they are fun to watch.

Turn on to Rettilon road going towards the Gulf to get here.

We stayed to be close to the jetty to fish. That’s the only positive. Very run down. Sites very close together. Bathroom/shower was frightening. Did not check out the laundry facility.

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. Close to commercial/tourist area. The beach is a short walk from campground.

Love this state park! Sites are nice and wide and level. Beachside has recently (past few years) been redone and they did a fantastic job! You are within easy walking distance to the beach and while Galveston beaches may not be the best in the world, it is hard to have a bad day on the beach. Just sayin’

Absolutely breathtaking! Parked parallel to the dunes off the packed down sand! We’re a good distance from all the houses to avoid any potential issues. No permits required and the signs upon entering the beach make no mention.

Month long stay, $730, water, 50 amp. End of October/beginning of November the park is booked out as well as during warmer months. Half of the facilities washers and dryers didn't work. Staff is great about communicating lawn days and other news for long term guests. Trash valet and 2 free parking spots. 2 dogs parks, one for large and another for smaller dogs.

We stayed at spot 128 in the Burr Oak. It was very easy to back into, the site is super wide and full asphalt. Site was very level. Bathrooms were somewhat close, about 4 or 5 sites down with a shortcut through the woods. Not a lot of street lights throughout the campground made things nice and quiet at night. The site had good Verizon cell service, around 25-50 mbps. The Tmobile service was around the same. This place is very remote and the park itself is huge, we only stayed one night but it has a ton to offer! Overall the campground was clean, very quiet, with a ton of activities.

Drove in on a Monday and love it already. They were combing the beach section I came in on and I picked the first spot that was at least 100 yds away from the only two others that were there. So far so great.

Stayed on the beachside & loved it. Concrete pads, clean shower house, picnic table under gazebo, leashed dog allowed on beach, close to boardwalk for beach access.
