Riverside Park

1 Review Add Review

Boaters and anglers have direct access to both the Colorado River and Hossey Slough at this city-managed campground seven miles from Bay City. The facility operates two distinct camping areas: a Wilderness loop with electric and water hookups on gravel sites along Hossey Slough, and a Colorado River loop offering full hookups with sites positioned close together. RVs up to 60 feet can access either area, though the Wilderness section requires a quarter-mile walk to reach shower facilities at the main office.

The gravel road leading to the Wilderness loop creates a more rustic camping experience, while the river-side sites provide immediate water access for launching boats. Restroom facilities are older but maintained as clean and spacious. February visitors can expect lighter crowds, particularly in the Wilderness section where camping near Bay City tends to be less concentrated during cooler months.

Great campground for reasonable price

This park is about 7 miles from Bay City and is between the Colorado River and Hossey Slough. There are two camping loops. The Wilderness loop has electricity and water on the Hossey Slough and is accessed on a gravel road and the sites are also gravel. It has a very rustic feel and is beautiful. The only downside is the showers and bathroom are about a quarter mile away at the office. The bathrooms are older, but spacious and clean. The other loop is on the Colorado River and has full hook-ups. The sites are very close together. We were here on a February weekend and there was only one other camper in the Wilderness loop. Would definitely stay here again.
