Houston Space Center

Looking for a clean and safe campground near the Space Center. I don't have to have full hookups Just W/E

  • Please note that Space Center Houston is different from Johnson Space Center. There's a constant stream of RV's being turned around at the JSC gates. You cannot get into, or 'tour' JSC except for a limited area called 'Rocket Park'.

    Please provide a report on wherever you stay and on Space Center Houston. I'm sure some here would like to know.
  • All good suggestions above. Marina Bay is nice and new - spaces are pretty close together. Dellanera is beach-front, if that appeals to you - Galveston is worth a visit if you haven't been there before. Space Center is right on I-45, so - convenient, easy freeway access, lots of traffic too. You can't go wrong with any of these.
  • We're at Green Caye which is about 20 minutes from Space Center Houston. Lots of pull throughs, all concrete pads, easy access, clean. It's the best deal around for longer stays, one of the better prices for nightly stays ($30).

  • Marina Bay RV Resort and Space Center RV Park are the closest and best choices. Both are nice parks and both are near Space Center Houston.

    Space Center RV Park is right on I-45 which is convenient but noisy. Marina Bay is quiet and near restaurants and shopping but is about 7 miles off I-45. It's also near the Kemah Boardwalk. (Look it up.)

    Have fun!

    Space Center RV Park on I45 is the closest. Clean and safe but tight.
    You can boondock overnight in the Space Center Houston parking lot. No hookups but the genny can run all night if needed.
  • We were planning a trip down there too.

    Although I haven't been there ... Dellanera RV Park in Galveston had good ratings and was only 40 min from Johnson Space Center.
