The best camping near Corpus Christi with campfires guide

Where to go

Padre Island National Seashore

You might not expect the world’s largest remaining barrier island to be in Texas, but Padre Island is exactly that. That’s not the only unique aspect of this place: One part of the island is Laguna Madre, one of the saltiest lagoons in the world. Here, you can see over 380 species of migratory birds, and enjoy waterfowl hunting (if you have a permit). The island is also great for windsurfing, in addition to swimming, canoeing or kayaking, all just a twenty minute drive from town.

Mustang Island State Park

Under 30 minutes from Corpus Christi, this is a great state park for enjoying this stretch of Texas’ Gulf coast. Beaching, birdwatching, and boating are just a few popular activities at Mustang Island State Park. The 20-mile paddling trail offers the opportunity to see coastal birds and their natural habitats, or fish the shallow waters, and there’s plenty of room to adventure.

Goose Island State Park

For a shadier camping option, Goose Island has pines and greenery where you can have more privacy. Here, campers can book sites that have access to showers and electricity access, and reservations for these sites are highly recommended. Additionally, this is a popular spot for fishing and boating. Don’t miss The Big Tree, one of the biggest live oak trees in the United States and formerly the State Champion Coastal Live Oak.

When to go

You can go here year round, but late summer and Fall are the best times to visit Corpus Christi. For one, the weather is cooler during this time but the Gulf waters are still warm enough for swimming and boating activities. Additionally, you’ll find much fewer tourists and can enjoy less crowded beaches.

Know before you go

  • The town of Corpus Christi has much to offer in the realm of restaurants and cultural activities, so be sure to stop by if you’re visiting and that interests you.
  • Texas has a ban on public camping, so make sure you’re in a place that allows it before you pitch a tent.
