Favorite Texas beach to camp

Waking up to the ocean is a dream come true at Mustang island. The park has 4 designated areas. Close to the entrance and facilities there’s a camp ground with water and electric hookups those are reserve only so make sure if you want that you reserve in advance. Primitive camping is a bit down the way to the right this is where primitive campers can find a nice spot if the day users are crowding the area. There’s portal potties, picnic tables and trash bins day uses tend to navigate to the primitive camping area and take up the picnic tables. Then there’s day use that’s straight ahead from the entrance there’s a big portal potty at the parking lot and a path to the beach. Then there is fisherman pass this is a drive on beach with a few pavilions and tables and the jetty. The park is cleaned every morning and midday by the park staff and park rangers. The staff really does put in a lot of work to keep the beaches and facilities clean. Its $5 per head and $10 for primitive camping and $20 for the hook up campsites. The park usually keeps the beaches at a decent occupancy putting up signs when it’s getting full and won’t let you in. After 6 the non paying people start to flood in at the primitive side during the summer. Make sure to bring lots of sun block and baby powder.
