    Brazos Bend State Park

    Hidden Gem in the Texas Swamp

    We stayed at spot 128 in the Burr Oak. It was very easy to back into, the site is super wide and full asphalt. Site was very level. Bathrooms were somewhat close, about 4 or 5 sites down with a shortcut through the woods. Not a lot of street lights throughout the campground made things nice and quiet at night. The site had good Verizon cell service, around 25-50 mbps. The Tmobile service was around the same. This place is very remote and the park itself is huge, we only stayed one night but it has a ton to offer! Overall the campground was clean, very quiet, with a ton of activities.

    Interesting State Park Near Houston

    We had no problem finding this interesting state park as our RV GPS took us right to the gate and we had been to this campground (CG) two years ago. This time, we knew better than to park at the office's stop sign to register, which is where most CGs have you stop when registering. There’s a sign that says not to park there but to pull forward. Last time we, didn't read the stop sign and got our butt chewed by a park ranger. As we are disabled veterans, we also got new Texas State Park passes, so we did not have to pay the additional$5 per person state park entry fee on top of the camping fee. You do not have to be a Texas resident but you need to be at least 60 percent service disabled. The same very nice and knowledgeable lady from last time checked us in and we proceeded to pull through site 17 with FHUs, but only 30 AMP. The utilities are placed centered on the site, which is nice. The water pressure here is on the low side at around 30-35 psi. The sites are nearby, but the spacious yard has a cement patio, picnic table, and fire pit. We had no problem getting our 40’ 5th wheel in the site but had to park our F450 at an angle in front of the rig. We got 2 bars on Verizon and were able to place our Starlink to get a shot of the northern sky. There are a lot of mature trees in this CG, so the satellite is going to depend on the site. As we checked in, we were told several trails had opened back up as the area was recovering from heavy rain and flooding. The golf course, now private, had opened back up as well, but there was still a lot of water on the course when we were there in February.

    Houston West RV Park

    Excellent price!

    Every other campground in the Houston area seems to be $55+, but with AAA discount I only paid $45 here! They were very accommodating when I called and gave us an easy spot up front because we were arriving after 8pm. Level spot, no fuss. Quiet night. Only downside were the mosquitos. Bring repellant! Altogether a good experience for a single overnight.

    ONE OF OUR FAVORITES

    This park is really back in there as from the office to the sites it's a good distance which is nice. Level sites and more than enough room between sites. If you like hiking, you can get it done here, just watch out for the gators.....

    Great State Park for Hiking/Biking

    We stayed in spot 112 in February 2024.  

    • Sites are very nice, wide, and (mostly) level.  
    • Campground is kept clean.  
    • Bathroom is a bit outdated, but still clean.
    • Trails are very nice and appear top be kept up regularly.  Just watch out for the alligators.
    • Don't forget to reserve a spot at the observatory on Saturday nights...

    Houston Central RV Park

    Good for long term

    This RV park resides in the middle of industrial businesses. Not many know it is there. The area around is not the greatest, but you cannot beat the prices. Have stayed over a year and a half.

    Emerald Lake Resort

    What an amazing place. Beautiful Lake and Beach.

    We went there for the first time and were amazed to discover such an awesome place, only 20 minutes from our new home in Houston.

    The staff was great and the accommodations were clean and comfortable. They have an indoor and an outdoor hot tub that overlooks the lake.

    We had so much fun.

    It was surprisingly affordable as well.

    We will definitely return.

    Highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome resort close to Houston.

    Excellent Park for Weekend Camping Trips

    We have been to this park twice.  Once as our very first trip with our travel trailer (Site 24), and once again this year (Site 13).  This park is really nice for hiking, biking, or just relaxing.

    Great trails for all exercise levels.  Lots of places to stop and rest, or just sit and take in nature for a while.

    Just be careful, if Google GPS tries to take you to the back gate... :)  It's a tiny road, and a dead end.

    South Main RV Park

    Good for proximity to NRG stadium

    My husband and I came to the Houston rodeo and stayed here strictly for proximity to the stadium. The RV park did have a shuttle which was very nice to get us to and from. Most sites are large enough for big rigs, you do have to park on the gravel right in front of your rig which can be tight. Nice concrete pads at each site. Traffic can be loud and there are many full-time set ups here with permanent residents. Has a gate with a code so it did feel safe at night. Small dog park that could use some extra TLC. Laundry on premises, no play ground, good wifi and Verizon service.

    Wonderful place!

    I absolutely love it here. The bathroom/shower is clean, the location is convenient and the folks who run the place are very helpful, no one on site but they make it easy for you with instructions and are available on the phone if you need them.

    Basic stop over park

    Mostly full timers. Older rv’s. They have a couple spots for stop overs. The people are really nice and friendly. Lots and lots of dogs but there is no off leash area for them. There is also a mommy and her teenager donkeys who like carrots and apples.

    Nice Park

    Very nice FHU pull thru sites with 5 camp hosts, who, according to signage, they clean the toilets and shower facilities. Quiet NYE weekend with 10 FHU sites vacant! Two New toilet/shower facilities for campgrounds. A herd of whitetail deer wanders thru campground in morning and evening.

    Great State Park Spacous sites

    First. Data. Download enough to watch FIFA final. Upload not the greatest. Visible, Verizon 5G, T-Mobile 5G. All great down but low upload speeds. Too many trees for Starlink

    Awesome friendly gate house staff. Big park with camping loop. Will be back
