Texas in the winter?

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

Thanks, that is what I thought. I have heard people say that they have parked for free on the beach at SPI, but I never have found a suitable place. I have stayed at the campgrounds on the Island.

Just north of the convention center is what is called "the flats." At one time lots would boondock there, but then a few started to dump onto the ground. Owner said no more of that, and now it is off limits to all. That is the only place I know where people could park and kinda call it "on the beach."

Everywhere else the police will move you along other than the shoulder at the north end of the island. If it is windy, it can become a very hostile environment to a rig. If there was a good free place to camp, I think the spring breakers would have found it by now ;)
