    Mae's Beach

    Soft Sand!

    Sketchy access for my rig. I’m a pickup truck camper at 10,000 pounds and was very uncertain about getting very far in. Do I didn’t! No facilities Close to Sabine NWR and Cameron Ferry

    Rollover Pass

    Great for Fishing

    Rollover Pass, Texas was first used by smugglers that would transfer their loot between the Gulf and Galveston Bay. Their loot was normally packed into the large wooden barrels and they rolled their loot from one side of the bay to the other. So Rollover Pass was very fitting. Now Rollover Pass is mainly used by locals for fishing. Large sand parking lot where they can park, fish, camp, and spend the weekend. There are porta pots and trash containers and you will find the same lots on both sides of the highway. The property is privately owned. There are no signs stating that you may camp but it has been accepted policy for some time. Sand is hard packed.

    High Island Beach

    Love!

    Super pretty. It is the true meaning of dispersed camping, so zero established sites. Plenty of room to go out and turn around with a big rig, and the sand is very hard packed so I wouldn’t be too worried about sinking as long as you hug a little closer to the shoreline versus the grass. There’s a parking lot before the beach that’s asphalt and seems to be fair game. The drive out to the beach is well established and well marked, so it’s easy to find. We went in November so it dropped to 40’ in the night; be prepared for colder temperatures.

    Mae's Beach

    Secluded Beach Front

    Beautiful spot. Unfortunately, the area was hit by Hurricane Laura in 2020 and the nearby neighborhoods have been destroyed. Locals are in the process of rebuilding. I'd suggest having 4x4 to drive on the beach. Waves are non existent for today, but bugs a plenty. Lol.

    High Island Beach

    Nice!

    This was a nice quite place to camp,I arrived late and was the only one on the beach.There was a lot of mosquitos but after I sprayed myself down,and got my tent up it wasn't bad at all.There were a few trucks that drove by me but that was all.When I woke up it was really nice.It did get busy during the day with people fishing and swimming.

    High Island Beach

    Trash everywhere

    Unfortunately this beach is not maintained and individuals seem to not know how to pick up after themselves….
