Follet's Island Coastal Management Area, managed by Texas Parks and Wildlife, allows drive-on beach access at this dispersed site along the Texas Gulf Coast. Vehicles can pull directly onto the sand. Cell service is available, and the campground permits pets, campfires, and alcohol, with trash service provided. Bugs can be significant after dark, so insect repellent is worth packing. Campers planning a broader coastal trip can find camping near Freeport to compare nearby options.
