Apparently, I am not making myself clear. I was simply following up the OP who asked about free camping or boondocking in Texas I have stayed at all the parks mentioned. What I am looking for is the free camping that some talk about on SPI (South Padre Island). There are about a dozen of us who would like to spend a weekend camping in a wide variety of rigs on SPI and not have to pay to park there. We can pay, but the ides of boondocking on the beach appeals to some of my buddies more than parking in a conventional campground. We have all done that plenty of times and places. Thanks for all the replies.
Only place to boondock is at the very north end of the main road on the shoulder. Sand drifts are very common as is high winds. You can pay to drive out onto the beach north of town, but no-one (and I mean no-one) ever boondocks out there. I would think you would be up to your axles in sand and salt water within 24 hours. YMMV
