Cabin camping options abound along the Texas Gulf coast near Wallisville. This coastal area sits at elevations typically below 20 feet above sea level with a humid subtropical climate that sees hot summers reaching into the 90s and mild winters rarely dropping below freezing. During summer months, mosquitoes can be particularly aggressive around dusk, especially near marsh areas and water bodies.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Eagles Point RV and Camping provides access to lake fishing where guests can enjoy the water without traveling far from their cabin. According to one visitor, "You can fish on the lake, hike through the land or just relax and enjoy the serenity." The property offers a secluded setting despite being relatively close to town.
Beach activities: Galveston Island State Park Campground offers cabin accommodations with easy beach access. A camper notes, "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." The park features concrete pads with covered structures at each site.
Kayaking and canoeing: Sea Rim State Park Campground provides excellent paddling opportunities through marshlands. A reviewer mentioned, "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." The park offers both cabin accommodations and beach camping options.
What campers like
Privacy between sites: At Trinity Bay RV Park & Lodging, cabins offer good spacing compared to typical RV parks. One camper shared, "The sites are spacious. You can chose from grass shade and concrete pads. Great breeze off the bay." The park maintains level concrete pads that accommodate various camping setups.
Clean facilities: Mont Belvieu RV Resort maintains well-kept cabin areas and common facilities. A guest noted, "Well kept facilities. Friendly staff that were very helpful. Well organized park." The resort's staff responds quickly to reservation inquiries and maintains the grounds consistently.
Waterfront views: Many cabin options provide views of Trinity Bay or other water features. A Trinity Bay RV Park guest commented, "Sunrise/sunsets are picture worthy. Level, concrete pads. Very big rig friendly. Next door to city park with boat ramps and good playground." Several parks position cabins to maximize water views.
What you should know
Mosquito preparation: Sea Rim State Park experiences significant mosquito activity, particularly at dusk. One visitor warned, "But nothing kept them away. And it wasn't just a few...they swarmed. At one point my husband had at least 30 on him (and he usually never gets bitten)...after using Off."
Varied bathroom facilities: Not all cabin locations include private bathrooms. A Trinity Bay camper noted, "We also dumbly wandered looking for toilets/showers (that were not promoted)." Some parks have communal bathhouses while others have limited or no shower facilities.
Gate closure times: Some parks enforce strict gate closure policies. According to a Sea Rim visitor, "This is the only park - national, state, regional or otherwise - that I've encountered that literally locks their gate at night. There is no way in, no way out until the next morning." Check access policies before booking.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Trinity Bay RV Park cabins sit adjacent to public recreation areas. As one camper shared, "Next door to beautiful Trinity Bay and River with nice fishing pier with lights, two boat ramps, and Fort Anahuac Park that is well maintained with a playground." This provides additional activities for children without leaving the immediate area.
Pool amenities: Houston East RV Resort offers cabin rentals with pool access. A visitor mentioned, "There is a small pool that is nice, and a lake behind campground so one row of sites has lake views." The resort also features shaded areas to escape summer heat.
Age restrictions: Some properties limit children. One Houston East RV Resort reviewer cautioned, "This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard from an RV park…no school-age children allowed on the property!" Verify child policies before booking cabin accommodations.
Tips from RVers
Easy access locations: Cabins at USA RV Resorts Marina Bay offer convenient locations for exploring regional attractions. A visitor explained, "The location in Kemah is walking distance to several good restaurants and musical entertainment. Across the street is Clear Lake Shores. A bayside community with boats." This makes it ideal for visitors without transportation.
Concrete pads: Most cabin locations in the Wallisville area feature concrete pads rather than gravel or dirt. A USA RV Resorts Marina Bay guest observed, "We arrived here and this place is very neatly kept and very clean. Cement pads throughout. Cabins available as well." The hard surfaces help maintain cleanliness inside accommodations.
Overnight parking: Trinity Bay RV Park cabins accommodate vehicles for short stays. One visitor mentioned, "The long, big level cement pads saved time setting up-we left our trailer hitched for our overnight stay." This feature allows travelers to avoid complete setup for single-night visits.
