Best Glamping near Sabine Pass, TX

Glamping Yurts on Crystal Beach stands as one of the standout luxury outdoor accommodations near Sabine Pass, with six distinctive yurt units situated directly on the Gulf shoreline. These specialized glamping units combine the beachfront experience with comfortable interiors, providing an upscale alternative to traditional camping. "We stayed for a few nights and enjoyed it. The beach was clean and nice and the campsites are close," notes one visitor about the coastal accommodations in this region. The yurts feature proper beds, climate-controlled interiors, and beach access just steps from your accommodation. Fort Anahuac Park also offers glamping options within driving distance, combining waterfront views with resort-style amenities in a more secluded setting.

Guests should note that coastal insects, particularly mosquitoes, can be prevalent in certain seasons, so proper preparation is essential. Both glamping locations operate year-round, though advance reservations are highly recommended during peak summer months.

    Sea Rim State Park Campground

    The mosquitoes are serious here, but the beach is gorgeous.

    This was a spur-of-the-moment trip from NW Arkansas so we could dip our toes in the ocean in the middle of winter. It's unfortunate that you have to go through Port Arthur to get to the state park, but totally worth it once you get there. WARNING: the mosquitoes are serious here. We have an Aliner and although we use pool noodles to seal gaps in the A-frame's roof, they found a way in--hundreds of them. We only stayed the one night because of it. Having said that, if you have a class A/B/C camper, you should be fine. I wouldn't recommend it to tent campers even with the best bug spray...and we went in December! Clean, beautiful facilities. You can park in a site, or if you don't want/need utilities, you're allowed to camp on the beach.

    Little Hidden Gem

    This is a small hidden state park that has rustic beauty. 25 campsites with electric and water, that can be used for campers or tents (tent pads at each site). We camped with a 27 ft camper, with barely enough room. Slightly unlevel, needed 2 blocks on left side. Each site has a tent pad, table, and firepit. There is a dump station. Extremely clean shower and bath house. Several hiking and biking trails, as well as a small beach area, kayaking, fishing, gazebo and playground. A nature center was on site which has activities for families on the weekends! Walk in tent camping without electric and water available. Our site #4 was only 16 dollars a night. Park rangers and camp hosts were knowledgeable and kind.

    Sea Rim State Park

    This is part of a huge refuge with marshes and seashores. We got a cabin (not sure if there is a tent or RV area) and it was really nice: AC, unfurnished kitchen, comfy bunkbeds, screened deck (bring your own kitchen supplies and bedding). I’m pretty sure the cabins are relatively new (as of 2014) because of a hurricane sometime in the past decade. Absolutely beautiful for a day or the weekend.

    Primitive Camping

    This location is close and convenient and one of our favorite spots! Admission for primitive camping is under $20. You WILL need mosquito repellant and the beach is fairly clean. The bathroom is a simple hole in the ground, similar to a port a potty and there are no showers on site.

    Floating campground has potential but fell short for us!

    Do not do the floating campground. Yes it looks cool on Instagram and yes it is a unique experience, but for all the wrong reasons. We booked two nights on it and only stayed one. It was covered in bird poop and rusted so badly that when I accidentally cut my hand on it I went to get a tetanus shot. It is kind of difficult to get up on the platform and we ended up having to lay our bodies on what we referred to as the "poop deck". So by the end of the day you are covered in bird poop.

    Keep in mind you have to bring your own waste bucket. There is a nook to place it in so you aren't just doing your business in the middle of the platform for the world to see. Not that it matters, we saw one other boat while we were there (I see this as a positive). Definitelt bring your own toilet seat. The one they provide is gross.

    It is a decently long paddle to get there (especially when loaded down with gear). No problem if you are in good physical shape, but it is not for everyone. It stormed violently the one night we were there. Very cool but terrifying. The whole platform shook. We learned that the storm worked in our favor though because we didn't see many mosquitos (see my other review). We saw several alligators and caught some fish as well. This is a beautiful park with a wide array of wildlife.

    Maiden Voyage

    Our first stop in the maiden voyage of our travel trailer and this park was good and kind to us. Beautiful, level pull-thru sites with plenty of space from others, shade and sun and within walking distance to bathhouse and swim beach. Mosquitoes abound and there is no cell signal or wi-fi. Prepare to drive 20 minutes to grocery.

    The Mosquito Coast

    The Mosquito Coast Dec 2022•  We had RV campground reservations for 3 nights but left after one because of the mosquitoes. I had read reviews and came prepared with Thermacell repellent and DEET spray but were overwhelmed by the mosquitoes. My Labrador had mosquitoes swarming him. The campground and park is surrounded by a marsh. The mosquitoes are not bad on the beach where there is a breeze. The park rangers are very nice and the campground itself is nice with spacious flat spots with electric and water hook ups. A dump station is available. Verizon coverage is poor. About half the RV spots were used however I only saw one other camper outside of their RV while we were there. I guess everyone else stayed inside their RV because of the mosquitoes. If you are a first time beach camper to the Texas Gulf Coast, try boondocking on the beach here or further down the Bolivar Peninsula near Crystal Beach. You need to be away from the marsh where the breeze keeps the mosquitoes away.


Guide to Sabine Pass

Sea Rim State Park offers beachfront camping 17 miles west of Sabine Pass, Texas. Situated directly on the Gulf of Mexico at 46 feet elevation, this park provides primitive beach camping without designated sites alongside more developed facilities. Coastal wind patterns create consistent breezes across the shore camps, and visitors should prepare for significant mosquito activity during warmer months.

What to do

Kayak paddling trails: Sea Rim State Park features marked kayaking routes through marsh habitats. "Great kayaking trail map and recommendations from the rangers on where to go. There is hiking as well. Spend an afternoon or a week here," notes a Sea Rim State Park Campground visitor.

Wildlife observation: The coastal ecosystem hosts diverse wildlife, particularly alligators and shore birds. "The nature trail over the marsh was really cool, we saw lots of alligators and birds," mentions one camper about their experience at Sea Rim.

Shell collecting: The Gulf shoreline provides opportunities for beachcombing. "The beach was ok, not the nicest I've ever seen but the kids loved it. Lots of shells and treasures to be found. And very few other people around," shares a Sea Rim visitor.

What campers like

Secluded beaches: Unlike more populated coastal areas, camping spots offer relative privacy. "Wonderful absolutely wonderful... if you pull onto the beach and drive either on the west or east to beach you find a spot in the sand that you really like that can be your campsite," explains a Sea Rim State Park camper.

Accommodations diversity: Options range from primitive beach camping to cabins and RV sites. "We got a cabin and it was really nice: AC, unfurnished kitchen, comfy bunkbeds, screened deck. I'm pretty sure the cabins are relatively new because of a hurricane sometime in the past decade," reports a Sea Rim visitor.

Waterfront proximity: Many sites offer immediate water access. "Spending our time at Fort Anahuac was great - we camped with water views right near the fishing pier," mentions a Fort Anahuac Park visitor.

What you should know

Insect preparation: Mosquitoes are exceptionally aggressive in coastal areas. "We had read reviews before going and thought we knew what we were in for...but there was nothing to prepare us for these mosquitoes. We covered ourselves with deet, had a bug zapper, I even fogged the area with an essential oil blend for bugs. But nothing kept them away," warns a Sea Rim camper.

Weather vulnerability: Coastal storms can affect camping conditions with little warning. "Not a great beach to camp on in stormy weather. No rock/sea wall to slow the surge or wave action," cautions a Village Creek State Park Campground visitor who also explored Sea Rim.

Gate schedules: Some parks enforce strict closure times. "This is the only park that I've encountered that literally locks their gate at night. The time listed is a hard closing time, not just when the ranger goes off duty. There is no way in, no way out until the next morning," notes a Sea Rim visitor.

Tips for camping with families

Supply planning: Limited shopping options require advance preparation. "Prepare to drive 20 minutes to grocery," advises a Village Creek State Park visitor, a consideration relevant to the entire Sabine Pass region.

Historical learning opportunities: Incorporate educational activities into your stay. "I absolutely love the history of the area and think the area should be very proud of the display here!" shares a visitor about Fort Anahuac Park, which has "connections to The Alamo."

Entertainment preparations: Cell service varies dramatically between glamping locations close to Sabine Pass. "Mosquitoes abound and there is no cell signal or wi-fi," mentions a Village Creek visitor, suggesting families bring offline activities.

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: Electrical connections vary between locations. "We had 30 amp and water hook-ups. Dump station nearby with two sides," notes a Village Creek visitor about facilities relevant to RVers exploring glamping options near Sabine Pass.

Site dimensions: Some campgrounds have length restrictions. "Level campsites (some look a tad shorter than most)," mentions an RVer at Village Creek, a consideration when selecting glamping accommodations near Sabine Pass, Texas.

Self-sufficiency requirements: Some locations require complete independence. "To camp you must be fully self contained, there are no hookups. You may see power in the park but that is for use at festivals, etc. Not for campers," explains a Fort Anahuac Park visitor about their camping arrangement.
