  Brazos Bend State Park Campground

  Ranger Review: Kameng Boots by Mishmi Takin at Brazos Bend State Park

  Campground Review

  It's incredible that I was born and raised in Houston and have lived here the past four years but haven't made it out to Brazos Bend State Park until now! A quick, 45 minute drive southwest will get you out of the concrete jungle that is the sprawling Space City metropolis and into one of the lushest, greenest parts of Texas. Brazos Bend is a "Nature Lover's Paradise" - there is abundant wildlife. There is great fishing, ample bird watching, and lots and lots of alligators (!). Lots of trails for walking, running, biking, and horseback riding. The George Observatory is a pretty amazing feature of this park (but only open Saturdays).

  We arrived at Brazos Bend on a Friday afternoon and were able to walk-in no problem. Walk-in rate is $12/day + the daily park entrance fee ($5 for adults, free for kids). I have a Texas State Parks Pass so we didn't have to pay the entrance fees (saved us $40 for two nights of camping!). Additionally there were several other great options including: Full-Site RV hook-up ($25/night), Standard Camping ($20/night, incl. water & electricity), and 14 Cabins ($80-200/night but have everything you could ever need or want).

  We did a lot of nature walks, game playing, and swimming during our two days at Brazos Bend State Park. Summer is probably not the best time to visit any park in Texas - its hot and muggy and the mosquitos are out in full force. Bring your DEET. Seriously. Despite that though, we were very pleasantly surprised by the amenities (swimming pool, screened in picnic tables, fire pits, and tent pads!)

  Product Review

  As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get products to test from time to time - this past weekend at Brazos Bend I tested out the Kameng Mid eVent Waterproof Hiking Boot by Mishmi Takin.

  These boots have got it all.

  First, these boots are hella comfortable! I was blown away how comfortable they were right out of the box. Over the years, I've owned many pairs of hiking boots and they all required a significant break-in period. Not these!

  Second, they're waterproof AND breathable. Not water resistant, like actually water proof.

  Third, the look great. All 3 color schemes are fantastic I had a tough time choosing between green, grey and orange.

  Fourth, so lightweight. These only weigh 1.5lbs so even though they are boots, they won't weigh you down.

  5/5 Would Recommend.

  Matagorda Bay Nature and RV Park

  Colorado River Waterfront Camping

  Pros:

  • Quick and friendly check-in

  .• Large parking area that is rig-friendly for check-in.

  • Knowledgeable park personnel

  • Nature center with interactive exhibits and gift shop

  • Well maintained. Daily we saw the camp hosts working diligently, even hosing down and scrubbing bird poop from campsites.

  • Saturday morning 1.5 hour guided Gulf beach walk($5/pp) by Paige and Whitley. Paige knew her“stuff” as she was pelted continuously with questions and she never missed a beat!

  • Complimentary early Saturday morning coffee and pastries.

  • Along the Colorado River but you can hear ocean roar where the river meets the Gulf of Mexico.

  • Level concrete parking pad surrounded by grass. Back-ins and drive-thrus.

  • Two sewer hook-up outlets.

  • Large concrete picnic table.

  • Very nice and clean toilets/shower building in an elevated building accessible by a ramp. Must have code to enter.

  • Laundry facility in toilet/shower building with code entry.

  • Nice Colorado River fishing piers with fish cleaning tables with freshwater spigot and a super pier over the beach/ocean.

  • Primo sunsets

  • Bay City, 20-minute drive, for the closest Walmart, HEB and other retailers and restaurants.

  Cons:

  • LCRA $6 on-line reservation fee.

  • Absolutely no trees or vegetation between sites which equals NO SHADE and NO PRIVACY.

  • Ocean“breeze” made it impossible to deploy trailer awning.

  • No fire pits, but if you bring your own with a screen cover, you may have a fire, if you bring wood as no wood is sold at this park.

  • NOT A DARK SKY FRIENDLY CAMPGROUND due to way too many street lights throughout the campground, along the river bank and on the fishing piers.  This would be a 5 star campground if there was more darkness!

  • Complimentary LCRA WIFI was weak and unreliable.

  • When the ocean"breeze" died down and the humidity was up, we were attacked by swarms of mosquitos which required us to heavily apply repellent in mid-February

  • Not much in the town of Matagorda, basically a fishing village, and of those businesses, not many operating in mid-February.

  Lakeview RV Resort

  Rude Staff

  I stayed here for 3 months and the manager Robert was very biased and unhospitable towards me the entire time. So I complained to the district manager Marty and told him I would not be extending my stay and would leave at end of month. He agreed and said I would get back my $50 deposit which is required for 5 days notice to move out (I was giving 2 weeks notice which is much more than the required 5 days). Upon checking out at the end of my stay Robert of course did not refund my $50 forcing me to call Marty again (Will update if I ever get my $50 back). On the final email they sent me with my electricity usage I noticed they changed my name to BLACKLIST and when I asked Marty he said 'correct you will never stay at one of our resorts again since you seemed unhappy' so to sum it up if you complain aboout how they treat you; you will be Blacklisted and have to fight for your deposit back.

  *not kid friendly *not pet friendly *not people friendly *very very noisy *pool failed inspection and water seems to be chemically inbalanced even after reopening (water smells rotten) *hot tub jets do not work *dog yard is not cleaned

  Galveston Island State Park Campground

  Great Spot!

  The beachside campsites offer electric hookups and shaded picnic tables that are great for tent and RV camping! Keep in mind, the beach is not visible from any electric campsite- but it is a close walk to the beach and conveniently located next to a comfortable restroom with accessible private showers. The beach itself is clean/not littered and is perfect for skim boarding!
