    Galveston Island State Park Campground

    Awesome campground!

    Love this state park! Sites are nice and wide and level. Beachside has recently (past few years) been redone and they did a fantastic job! You are within easy walking distance to the beach and while Galveston beaches may not be the best in the world, it is hard to have a bad day on the beach. Just sayin’

    Gulf Side Oasis Beach Dispersed

    Gulf Oasis road 4

    Absolutely breathtaking! Parked parallel to the dunes off the packed down sand! We’re a good distance from all the houses to avoid any potential issues. No permits required and the signs upon entering the beach make no mention.

    Brazos Bend State Park Campground

    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.

    Bolivar Peninsula RV Park

    Still needs work

    Pros: office lady very nice, site 1 has 1 tree for shade, ferry w/ our travel trailer from Galveston Island was easier than expected, large dog park, close to Camp Margaritaville.

    Cons: gravel sites, bathroom super gross with no TP, dirt rv road kicks up lots of dust, right on noisy highway.

    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.

    Big City Little Farm

    Great place

    There was plenty of space and a beautiful night sky. We can play geometry dash scratch here. The cozy fire was perfect for s’mores. The directions were clear and not too far from convenience stores. The farm animals give it a nice nature’a touch. I would highly recommend this host. She is responsive and safe. Will be returning!

    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.....

    Galveston Island State Park Campground

    very positive camp

     It sounds like you had a memorable experience during your stay! Friendly staff, clean facilities, and great beach walks definitely contribute to a positive impression. It's wise to prefer the bay side sites for a quieter atmosphere and fewer crowds. Watching interesting birds adds to the charm, but it's essential to stay cautious of snakes, as you mentioned encountering a rattler. Making reservations in advance seems like a good tip to avoid any hassle, especially during busy weekends. If you need any assistance with your writing tasks, consider checking out https://payforessay.net/ for reliable help. Additionally, having reservations in advance can provide peace of mind and ensure a smoother experience during your stay, allowing you to focus more on enjoying the surroundings and less on logistical concerns.

    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...

    Fort Anahuac Park

    Decent Spot on the water

    Good little park off the beaten path. You can camp with water views. Flush toilets with running water, but those mosquitoes will eat you alive.

    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.

    At the Beach RV Park

    Great beach spot. Above water

    Easy set up. Friendly host. No facilities but all hook ups. Close quarters on rigs. On the water so it’s all good regardless. A little messy. Needs some repairs on utilities. But. On the water.

    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.

    Great Spot—Busy!

    We stayed here almost 10 days. Did some jockeying around because we didn’t have reservations. Friendly staff, clean facilities, great beach walks, large sites. We prefer the bay side sites—quieter and fewer people. Lots of interesting birds to see, and watch out for snakes! We saw a big rattler on the boardwalk but we gave it space and it moved off right away. I would recommend a reservation to save hassles as this place fills up on the weekends.

    We had fun here with our 3 year old granddaughter. Campsite was nice & large, well spaced out. Bathrooms are clean, and the trails are awesome. Saw about 20 alligators on Elm Lake

    Nice free camping

    Free camping, just send a picture of your 🆔. Plenty of room, no sites just pop your tent wherever. No electric or hookups. They do have a restroom with flush toilets. Don't forget the "OFF" tons of mosquitoes. Overall a nice place.

    No school age children allowed on the property

    This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard from an RV park…no school-age children allowed on the property! I didn’t stay there with my family and I won’t stay there.

    Rio RV Park at Turtle Bayou

    Great spot!

    Stayed one night and was pleasantly surprised with what the park had to offer. Great views of the water a short walk from my stall, fully renovated and clean bathrooms and decent separation between the sites. My site backed onto the highway but wasn’t very loud. I’d stay here again for the affordable price of $26

    Galveston Island State Park Campground

    Awesome location , great facilities

    Starting to get busy, probably the best time of year - before it warms up and the bugs return. Short walk to beach, close to town if you need anything. Did not use facilities so no comment other than great 50 amp and good water.

    Only negative is dump station is a challenge if using tote (no ramp, gotta haul up curb). Campground facilities says there is sewer hookup. There is not ( other than for hosts)
