Gulf Camping Texas Style Port Lavaca to Corpus Christie

Looking for some help here...we will be spending a week or so in Galveston then heading south along the coast of Texas. This is unchartered territory for us, so we are looking for some help. RV Park Reviews have very limited reviews and a lot of them are from 2009..:S

When we leave Galveston we plan on hitting the Port Lavaca area give or take 30 miles. From there we are looking at Corpus Christie, again give or take 30 miles.

We have reservations at Tropic Winds in Harlingin so if you've any advice there that would be appreciated also....thanks to everyone....Dennis
  • Try Serendipity Bay Resort (RV park and marina) at Palacios.
  • the state park just outside of galveston is really nice. Try and ride the ferry, and go check out the seawolf. Plus if you like old architecture, there's plenty there.

    and if you're going now, be real sure you watch the ground. This is last chance for frisky time for rattlers. the story is from new symrna (long ways away) but the park there at galveston sports its own "watch for snakes on dunes" signs.

  • Matagorda Bay Nature Park about 30 mi from Port Lavaca as the crow flies. Further by road.

    They have weekly and monthly rates during the Winter but you have to call rather than use the website.
  • We stay at Aransas Bay RV in Aransas Pass. It's across the bay from Corpus Christi. It's not on the beach but it's just a short drive on the free ferry out to the island. The park is pretty new with all paved roads and long concrete level pads with nice landscaping and grass.
