    A $10 permit is required to drive on the beach, but camping is free.

    If you do not want to drive on the beach, you can walk with your gear and do not have to pay the $10 fee.

    Camping on the beach is welcomed in Matagorda and there are no additional fees to camp. You can camp anywhere on the beaches in Matagorda county including Jetty park for up to 72 hours. Tents and RVs are permitted but beware of the soft sand if you are bringing an RV. See below for information on parking areas if you do not or can not drive onto the sand.

    If you don’t want to drive onto the beach there are a couple of parking areas within walking distance. The first and best area is Jetty Park at the end of FM 2031. This is a County Park and there is no usage fee. There are bathrooms, outdoor showers, and covered picnic tables as well as a walking pier and the Colorado River Jetties.

    Brazoria Beach

    Easy hard packed sand to drive on

    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.

    Small, nice, beachfront !

    Very nice place. Only 14 spaces all with concrete pad, picnic table, and full hookups. Very clean and well maintained. Just steps from the beach with an outdoor shower to clean off the sand before you head home. Also a 6(?) room hotel on site. Staff is always available. The company who does the lawn care accidentally cut both my sewer hoses and The Breeze owners had them replaced in 5 minutes!

    Brazoria Beach

    Great spot during the middle of the week

    Does not have the white sands of South Padre, but not much of a chance of getting stuck unless you really try. Dodge 2wd 1500 pulling 10 ft trailer with no issues getting in and out. Very quite during the week. There is some trash around and that is sad. We picked up every day but still needs help fosterm all. Weekend it get a bit crowed and becouse of the hard pack sand, some people we're going alot faster then the 15 mile an hour speed limit. Weelend also brings vender trucks coming down the beach all the time. We were a bit irritated at 1st but then bought ice-cream LOL  We live in Fort Worth and the trip here is about 200 miles shorter then South Padre so it will be a great place to hit when we dont want to travel that extra 200

    Brilliant

    Wow, I recently had the most incredible stay at Brackenridge Park& Campground! this service helped me with this: https://andersenlab.com/services/security-management. I cannot stop raving about this hidden gem nestled in nature's lap. From the second I arrived, I was captivated by the serene environment and the welcoming atmosphere that enveloped me. 

    The campground itself is a true oasis for nature lovers like me. The lush greenery, towering trees, and the gentle flowing river created an idyllic setting that instantly put me at ease. Whether it used to be a leisurely stroll alongside the scenic trails or simply basking in the splendor of the landscape, I observed myself completely immersed in the tranquility of this place. 

    The amenities were top-notch too! The well-maintained campsites had all the necessities for a comfortable stay, and the clean restroom facilities were an added bonus. But what truly blew me away were the recreational activities available. From fishing and kayaking to bird-watching and star-gazing, there was once never a dull moment. 

    The first-class part was the pleasant and helpful staff who made me experience like a valued guest throughout my stay. I left Brackenridge Park& Campground with unforgettable memories and a rejuvenated spirit. I highly recommend this haven to anyone seeking a peaceful escape and a chance to reconnect with nature. This place truly changed my perspective on camping, and I can't wait to return!

    Free Beach front camping is the best!

    Hard packed sand. Tide is safely far from the rig. Boondocking and waking up to the ocean sound is amazing. Take a walk with a garbage bag and help pick up liter left by others

    Beautiful lake

    Randomly found this campground. There are some shaded spots and some wide open areas. All of the rv area is behind locked gates with codes that change. There is a police car that patrols the area. There are trails, a dog park, the lake, wildlife, an event center up the road, a small ball field and .... Wish I had found this earlier in our travels

    By the water

    Nicely equipped RV park right on water. Paid a few more dollars to have a pull thru site with FHU, cable & level concrete pad to pull on to. Nice big bathrooms with showers, laundry, pool, playground, gym room, small fenced dog run and large heated community room. No pets allowed in laundry/community room.

    Brackenridge Recreation Complex

    A Full Recreation Area with camping

    A minimum of water and electric at every site (which we don’t need) The feel is more community park with camping. There is a 12 mile equestrian trail which bikes are allowed to ride on. Other flat trails are around the park and water. It is completely full this Saturday and there are lots of families, music and fires burning. I do not consider this to be a serene wilderness/wildlife area but a Camping area full of activities. Looks like a great place for a family reunion or wedding. Complete with frisbee golf, boating, swimming, dog park, playground and more. The grounds are very well kept.
