Description

Located on the waters of the Laguna Madre, the Bird Island Basin Campground is a great place to windsurf, kayak, boat, bird, and fish to your heart’s desire. Let’s talk about that windsurfing though... This area is ranked by Windsurfing Magazine as the “best flat water sailing site in the continental USA.” Sounds like a good place for beginners and pros if you ask us! Both RV and tent camping sites are available at $5/day (cash or check only). And, early birds rejoice: sites are not reservable!
