Vidor, Texas offers several RV campgrounds along the I-10 corridor between Beaumont and the Louisiana border. The area experiences humid subtropical climate with hot summers reaching into the 90s and mild winters rarely dropping below freezing. Most RV parks in this region sit at elevations between 15-30 feet above sea level, with drainage concerns during Gulf Coast rain events that can drop several inches in a single day.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Hidden Lake RV Park features a small lake with complimentary canoes and peddle boats for guests. "A small lake with free use of canoes and peddle boat available," notes one visitor to Hidden Lake RV Park.
Golf access: Several courses within short driving distance of RV parks. "Bayou Den Golf Course is approximately three miles away. Tyrell Park features a golf course, horseback riding, botanical gardens, and scenic boardwalks approximately five miles from the RV park," mentions a reviewer from End Of The Road RV Park.
Water recreation: Some parks offer swimming areas when weather permits. "There is a pool and hot tub in the expansion as well. The lake has really great fishing and there is a small swimming/beach area," reports a visitor about Boomtown USA RV Resort.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Many parks maintain spotless common areas. "Very nice and attentive staff and park is clean and well maintained," reports a camper at Boomtown USA RV Resort.
Security features: Several parks implement safety measures. "You have to have codes to enter the gates and they have cameras around the property for safety keeping," shares one camper about their stay at Boomtown USA RV Resort.
Accessibility to urban amenities: Location near cities provides convenience. "Close to food, shops, the mall, and the hospital," mentions a visitor about Hidden Lake RV Park. Another notes: "Beaumont is within 5 miles" at Boomtown USA RV Resort.
What you should know
Highway noise considerations: Proximity to interstate can affect certain sites. "RIGHT on I-10 and the highway noise is bad," cautions a reviewer at Boomtown USA RV Resort, while another notes "Minus 1 star because we were parked by the high way so the noise was a little annoying throughout the night."
Weather impacts: Seasonal conditions can affect camping experience. "It had rained and it was rather flooded! The small areas of grass were unkempt," reports a visitor at Gulf Coast RV Resort.
Limited shopping access: Some areas require driving for provisions. "No convince stores or gas stations thanks to hurricanes. Closest grocery store, gas/diesel, and general merchandise is in Hackberry, 20 minutes north," notes a camper at Pickled Pelican RV Park.
Tips for camping with families
Recreation options: Look for parks with multiple activities for children. "They have everything you need for a great family vacation," says a reviewer at Boomtown USA RV Resort, while another mentions "The lake has really great fishing and there is a small swimming/beach area."
Playground considerations: Check seasonal conditions before planning outdoor play. "A playground is on site, but that was very wet as well," warns a visitor at Gulf Coast RV Resort.
Swimming amenities: Pools provide relief during hot months. "The pool area is wonderful. Very well maintained. Huge lake to enjoy," shares a camper at Pickled Pelican RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Site dimensions: Check specific site measurements before booking. "Our site had dog poop over it when we arrived so they do not check the sites before you arrive. The pad is buried into the ground which cause hills into the grass. A great way to break an ankle. It also caused a hill for the sewer hose to run uphill," reports a visitor to Gulf Coast RV Resort.
Spacing considerations: Some parks have tight configurations. "Pull through sites close together as typical of rv parks," notes a camper at Boomtown USA RV Resort, while another RVer at Gulf Coast RV Resort states "The sites are very narrow and pretty close to fellow campers but it was all good."
Hookup placement: Verify utility connections suit your rig setup. "All concrete pads with FHU. Long pull throughs some even long enough for 45' motorhome and tow. Mine 50 Amp and 65' pull through," shares a camper at Gulf Coast RV Resort.
