Kemah Boardwalk sits near several glamping sites, providing dining and entertainment options within driving distance. Most glamping accommodations remain open year-round, though mosquito protection is essential, particularly during summer months when coastal insects become more active.

    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.

    Village Creek State Park Campground

    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.

    Palms RV Park

    Don’t go!

    Incorrect wiring with the 50 amp service destroyed our fridges and microwave. Owner was verbally aggressive and denied all responsibility. He offered nothing. Muddy, loud road, loud party, no laundry, murky creepy pond, no place to walk a dog.

    Galveston Island State Park Campground

    Right on the Beach

    I have been going to this campground since I was a little girl, I won’t even mention how many decades that is LOL. But I’ve never had a bad experience.  The campground was completely redone after Hurricane Ike in 2008, so all the campsites are newer, with updated tables, BBQ pits and so forth. You can literally camp on the beach if you choose to. There are even full hook-up campsites within mere feet of the beach.  But book early because these sites fill up fast.  Lots to do of course. Swimming, laying on the beach, birdwatching,  Fishing, crabbing, surfing (yes you can surf in Texas)  stand up paddle boarding, boogie boarding, sunbathing, the list is really only limited by your imagination. You can even build a campfire right in the beach at night and listen to the waves roll in while making s’mores. The campsites themselves are not very private because it’s an open setup so everyone can enjoy the view of the ocean.  The public restrooms and showers are nice and clean.  There are outdoor showers to rinse off after the beach.   There is even a fish cleaning station. This campsite is far enough out that you feel more isolated yet within a few miles of major restaurants and big box stores and grocery stores too.  The hosts are polite and helpful. If you get tired of the beach, you are within a short drive to the “Strand” downtown, Moody Gardens or Schlitterbahn water park. The location can’t be beat. Beautiful park with nice campsites, what more could you want?


Guide to Wallisville

Coastal wetlands and marshes dominate the landscape around Wallisville, Texas, creating unique camping environments where freshwater meets saltwater at the Trinity River delta. Mosquitoes can be exceptionally abundant during summer months, particularly at dusk, with campers reporting swarms that require specialized protection beyond standard repellents. Yurt camping options near Wallisville provide alternatives for those seeking more protection from insects while still experiencing the coastal environment.

What to do

Kayaking on Trinity Bay: Launch from Fort Anahuac Park to explore the bay's ecosystem. "We stayed three nights. The bay is teeming with fish and beautiful birds," notes Leigh D., highlighting the accessible water recreation opportunities directly from the camping area.

Wildlife observation: Alligator sightings are common along the nature trails at Sea Rim State Park. "The nature trail over the marsh was really cool, we saw lots of alligators and birds," reports Vanessa L., who visited with her family.

Night sky viewing: Trinity Bay offers excellent stargazing when weather permits. "It was super cool to watch as the lights of Houston illuminated the sky across the bay," shares Tucker B. about his Fort Anahuac Park stay, suggesting evening hours provide distinctive celestial views.

Historical exploration: Learn about Texas history at Fort Anahuac, a site connected to events leading to Texas independence. "Check out the Historical plaques. Fort Anahuac Park has connections to The Alamo," advises camper N.I.

What campers like

Concrete camping pads: Brickhouse RV Resort offers upgraded surfaces for stable camping. "This is a newer resort with concrete pads and level sites. The resort is clean and well kept," explains Pat M., who appreciated the solid foundation.

Privacy between sites: Natural barriers at Village Creek State Park enhance camping experiences. "There are trees and shrubs between most of the sites," points out Charles S., noting how vegetation creates separation despite relatively close spacing.

High-quality shower facilities: Several parks invest in comfortable bathhouses. "The high pressure, hot shower is great. Nicely maintained public facilities were great," emphasizes Kevin H. about Village Creek's amenities, an important consideration for extended stays.

Abundant fishing opportunities: Multiple locations offer shore fishing without requiring a boat. "The park has a beautiful open expansive green space... fishing pier, fish cleaning station and even fishing from the bank," details N.I. about Fort Anahuac's angling accessibility.

What you should know

Mosquito preparation is essential: Sea Rim visitors consistently mention insect intensity. "Once the sun goes down. An army of vampire mosquitoes descend on you and your pets... They would be on you all over. Once sunrise came. They were gone," warns Evelyn O., suggesting timing activities around peak mosquito hours.

Gate closure times are strict: Some parks enforce rigid entrance policies. "This is the only park that I've encountered that literally locks their gate at night... There is no way in, no way out until the next morning," cautions Katie M. about Sea Rim's 10 PM closure.

Electrical service quality varies: Check connections carefully. "Power outlets everywhere," mentions Freddy F. about Fort Anahuac Park, though other campsites may have limited or unreliable service.

Weather impact on camping: Coastal locations experience rapid condition changes. "Not a great beach to camp on in stormy weather. No rock/sea wall to slow the surge or wave action," advises Kelly E. about Sea Rim State Park Campground, highlighting vulnerability to coastal weather events.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Camp Mohawk County Park offers multiple recreation options beyond camping. "This park has pavilions, playgrounds, a pool, baseball and basketball courts. You can boat around the pond," explains Jeannette V., making it suitable for families with varied interests.

Yurt accommodations for comfort: Specialized yurt camping near Wallisville at Crystal Beach provides six units designed for families seeking more structure. The Glamping Yurts offer coastal proximity without tent setup challenges.

Wildlife safety protocols: Parks with alligators require specific precautions. "Watch out for the gators and put your food up or it will be gone," advises Matt S. about Fort Anahuac Park, emphasizing proper food storage is critical for safety.

Bathroom proximity: Consider campsite location relative to facilities. "The RV campground is open, along with the restrooms with showers. The RV sites are mostly level on asphalt pads," notes Charles S. about Village Creek State Park's layout, important when camping with children.

Tips from RVers

Beach access considerations: Galveston Island State Park Campground offers proximity to Gulf waters. "Beach side is very nice since being remodeled. Great back in sites. Nice electrical and water service towers at sites," reports James P., highlighting the upgraded facilities.

Limited cell service: Prepare for connectivity gaps in some areas. "There is no cell signal or wi-fi. Prepare to drive 20 minutes to grocery," warns Phoebe M. about Village Creek State Park, important for RVers who work remotely or need regular contact.

Dump station availability: Check park facilities before arrival. "Dump station nearby with two sides," notes Craig J. about Village Creek State Park, a practical consideration for longer stays.

Supply accessibility: Stock up before arrival at remote locations. "No utilities, but large open camping area near fishing pier," explains Tucker B. about Fort Anahuac Park, indicating limited on-site resources.
