RV sites near Missouri City, Texas provide convenient access to Houston's attractions while offering full hookup capabilities. Most parks in this urban camping area feature concrete pads designed for larger rigs, with varying levels of amenities depending on price point. Many resorts have enhanced security features including perimeter fencing and gated entry systems to ensure camper safety in this metropolitan setting.
What to do
Explore adjacent parks: Houston Med Center KOA Holiday backs up to Tom Bass Park which offers extensive recreation options. "The city park has a 2 mile and 6+ mile walking path. It seems to be the only real place to get out and exercise in the area," notes one camper at Jetstream RV Resort (formerly Advanced RV Resort).
Visit downtown Houston: South Main RV Park provides transportation options to city attractions. "This is about 3 miles from MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the RV Park runs a shuttle to and from the Med Cen. There is a bus stop near the entrance to this RV Park that will take you a mile or so away to the Red Line Rail, which takes you downtown."
Attend sporting events: Lakeview RV Resort offers proximity to major stadiums. One visitor mentioned they were "extremely close to downtown, NRG, MD Anderson and Minutemaid Stadium," making it ideal for sports fans or those attending conventions.
What campers like
Pool facilities: Highway 6 RV Resort provides upscale swimming amenities. "The pool was so fancy and the water was lukewarm from the warm son so night swims were the best. They have adult pool hours from 8pm-10pm so. Bring your cocktails and music and have a good time!" writes one enthusiastic visitor.
Dog washing stations: Multiple parks offer pet care facilities. A camper at Highway 6 RV Resort highlighted their "free dog wash! both our doggos got washed and it was easy to use with hot and cold water and a larger blow dryer!"
Clean facilities: Medical Center RV Resort maintains immaculate common areas. "Private rooms in the bathhouse let you feel comfortable and not like a locker room," shares one visitor who appreciated the resort's cleanliness standards and added, "the park feels like you are not in the city despite so close to everything."
What you should know
Highway noise considerations: Traffic sound varies significantly by site location. At Eric & Jay's RV Resort, visitors note "you are right next to interstate, but it's convenient to stores and easy to get in & out of gate."
Entrance challenges: Some parks have complicated access points. Medical Center RV Resort has "road construction right in front that makes it a bit confusing to get into," though once inside, visitors find the facilities well-maintained.
Internet connectivity: Connection methods vary across parks. At Eric & Jay's Resort, "the internet situation had us scratching our heads. 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."
Shuttle services: Several campgrounds near medical facilities offer transportation. "A shuttle ran between the park and MD Anderson which made it very convenient for us," noted one visitor staying at Lakeview RV Resort while receiving treatment.
Tips for camping with families
Limited kid-specific amenities: Shiloh RV Park offers some child-friendly features, but most Missouri City area resorts primarily serve adults. "This campground is small, however it is very well shaded and has a great swimming beach," notes a visitor to this more family-oriented option.
Pool restrictions: Check pool availability schedules during your stay. At Highway 6 RV Resort, "They have adult pool hours from 8pm-10pm," which means families need to plan swimming time accordingly.
Pet entertainment: For families with dogs, consider parks with dedicated pet areas. Highway 6 RV Resort provides "2 dog runs, one of them being the largest dog run we've seen at a campground so our mali really got to sprint it out."
On-site recreation: Some parks provide indoor activities. "They have a recreation room that had a pool table, shuffle board table and large television. Each day there was coffee and popcorn available," shares one Highway 6 RV Resort guest.
Tips from RVers
Leveling challenges: USA RV Park and some other properties may require additional preparation. One visitor to Eric & Jay's notes some concrete slabs are "unlevel. Perhaps the most unlevel that we've experienced in our travels," recommending extra leveling blocks.
Site selection strategy: Location within a park significantly affects experience. "The front of the RV Park is by the toll road, and you can hear the traffic. We were in site 223 in the back, by the city park, and we could barely hear any vehicle noise."
Gate access protocols: Most parks use secure entry systems. At Southlake RV Resort, visitors appreciate the "gated campground located at the end of a one lane no outlet road" which provides additional security for overnight guests.
Parking constraints: Check site dimensions before booking. One Eric & Jay's visitor found their "back-in spot was also very narrow with hardly any room to walk between the picnic bench and trailer once we were pulled-in," recommending extended sites for more space.
