M D Anderson vicinity Campground?

Has anyone gone to M D Anderson in Houston and taken RV? If so, where did you camp?
Thanks, JT
  • I know of two on South Main, the closest (South Main RV Park) just beyond the 610 Loop on the west side of the street, making it three miles to Medical Center. The other (LakeView Resort) is a few miles further south. After our first visit, I choose not to "camp." We rather stayed at Rotary House (more than 10 times over three years of treatment).

    Being further away from the facility would not have worked, as my wife's appointment schedule had us going back and forth to the different clinics from 4 AM to 10 PM any day of the week, and the times she had surgery, it was me going back and forth at those hours. We would not have had time for trips back and forth to the campground. But your treatment program may be different.

    More generally, there are about 20 RV parks in the greater Houston area, or within 30-45 miles. That can be less than an hours travel to Medical Center, or it can be a lot longer, even the close ones, depending on time of day.
  • We just left Lakeview after spending 9 months there for treatment at MD Anderson. Park very nice, safe and managers Chris and Jim are excellent. 5 miles to hospital. About 70% of park residents are patients, rest oil workers and a few transients. They also have a daily shuttle to the hospital for free, will save parking costs and fuel.

  • I have never camped at around MD Anderson but I know it well, good luck and best wishes.
  • The Elks lodge on West Airport has 10 or 11 spots with full hookup 30 and 50 amp. It is about 13 miles to the medical center. I am an Elk but when I was there they would rent to non Elks also. Address is 10150 West Airport
