Tips from RVers
Location advantages: USA RV Resorts Marina Bay offers proximity to attractions. "The location in Kemah is walking distance to several good restaurants and musical entertainment. Across the street is Clear Lake Shores. A bayside community with boats," reports a long-term camper. The Kemah boardwalk is a short drive away.
Medical access: Lakeview RV Resort provides shuttle service to medical facilities. "We stayed here for five days while visiting MD Anderson. A shuttle ran between the park and MD Anderson which made it very convenient for us," explains a visitor. This makes the location practical for those needing medical care during their stay.
Site selection: Back-in sites require planning. "Only real problem was the people park on the main thruway making getting in and out with the trailer difficult. We had to wake a guy up to move his truck to get into our spot," advises a camper at Brickhouse RV Resort. Arrive early for easier setup.
