Best Campgrounds near Vidor, TX

I was surprised this campground had not been reviewed.  We stayed here in Jan '24 on the way to Houston for business.  Grand Pines is located on I-10 southeast of Beaumont TX.  Sites are all full hook-up, back-in concrete 60' x 20' leaving room for us to park our tow car. Grand Pines has high speed WIFI and free laundry facilities.  Grounds were well kept when we were there. Sites are a bit close together. They may now have more long term usage than transient. Still, it is a great stop over to catch up on domestic duties.

Free laundry, Wi-Fi, a pool, and an awesome rec room everything you need for a comfortable stay. I absolutely love it here!

Clean, quiet, and well-kept with great amenities like a pool, rec center, and Wi-Fi. Friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere make it a top choice. Highly recommend!

Only $375/mo for Long Term, All Utilities Included, Free Wi-Fi and Free Laundry!

We were heading back to Texas after Spring Break and needed a quiet, easy stop for the night. Vinton RV Park ended up being a perfect fit for our family. It’s right off I-10, super easy to find and book, and felt peaceful the moment we pulled in. At first, we had looked at a few other parks online that looked a bit more“luxury” in the photos, but when we got here, we were honestly surprised—in a good way. The amenity center here is actually really nice and has more of a resort feel than some of the other places nearby. Our boys had a blast riding their bikes around the park. It’s a big property, and we felt totally comfortable letting them run around since it’s well off the main road. There's even a gate at the entrance, which adds an extra layer of peace of mind(it was open when we arrived, but I imagine it gets closed later on). All in all, it was a great family-friendly stop, and we’ll definitely keep it on our list for future trips.

Drove right in and use their dump station. Easy peasy; nobody said boo. It was clean so I kept it that way.

Vinton RV Park is fantastic! The spacious concrete pads made parking easy, and the full hookups were a big plus. We enjoyed the refreshing pool and the fun rec and game rooms. The park is clean, quiet, and well-maintained, with plenty of space to relax. Highly recommend it for a comfortable stay!

The clubhouse at this park just outside Lake Charles is seriously impressive. It’s huge and offers everything you could need from billiards, shuffleboard, a cozy reading nook, restrooms, a full kitchen, and tons of seating for parties or events. 

There's also a super spacious co-working office space, which is rarely used, making it even better if you need a quiet spot to work. 

The park also has a great pool, perfect for relaxing. 

For $575/month it’s an incredible deal as electric, Wi-Fi, free laundry and the premium amenities are all included in the rent!

This Park is a hidden gem just outside Lake Charles.

The pool is great, but the massive clubhouse is most impressive with billiards, shuffleboard, a cozy reading nook, a full kitchen, restrooms and plenty of seating for events or parties. And they also have a separate large co-working office space, all available to the guests and rarely used I might add making it even nicer.

Free laundry, Wifi and Electric (included in your lot rent).

$575/mo for grass/gravel pad may sound high, but when you realize that it includes all of this you realize it's actually a great deal!

Loved our time at the Pickled Pelican. Hosts very communicative & helpful. $75 did seem a bit high since there are no amenities, but the beach is close, clean, & quiet! Very soft sand compared to Galveston. Concrete pads & full hookups. Trash has to be driven about 2-3 min away.

Great park if you want to get outside, but still want access to civilization.

Park is somewhat of a mix between wetland and forest. While this is an awesome ecosystem with lots to see and explore - take bug spray! Especially if going in May - when the Horseflies are out. We made the mistake of forgoing the Off and got eaten alive. This is our fault, and not the parks, though.

The park is conveniently located just outside of Beaumont. In fact, you may feel like you haven’t left the city until you are there. This can be helpful if you want to grab a bite and not cook, or if you run short of supplies. I would recommend this park especially for someone new to camping.

I have camped with friends numerous times at the Pickled Pelican. March 2024 was my first trip with my own camper. The RV spots are all level concrete in excellent condition. There are twelve spots as close to the beach as you can get, with a covered picnic table and grill. There are also 8 spots that do not have the covered picnic tables, across the street from the cabana sites. Four of those are set up to be used as buddy sites where two RVs can park with their camp sides facing each other and have no problems reaching hookups. Water/sewer/electric hookups are all well maintained. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Ice, bait, and some seafood is available in Holly Beach. No convince stores or gas stations thanks to hurricanes. Closest grocery store, gas/diesel, and general merchandise is in Hackberry, 20 minutes north. There is a convenience store a little closer in Johnson Bayou to the West, as well as in Cameron to the East. Going to Cameron requires crossing via a ferry, not always in service.

Great stop along our way. Nice staff. Clean bathrooms. Good hiking and biking trails. Campspots are well wooded. A little wet this time of year but to be expected.

Very nice lady called prior to our arrival to ask if she could charge our card so she could prepare the packet. When we arrived it was all ready and maybe took 5 minutes. Didn’t use baths or laundry. Park was clean, plenty of length for our 42’ 5th wheel and truck. Hookups were in good spots. The sites are very narrow and pretty close to fellow campers but it was all good.
