Stella Mare is a very nice location, very clean or organized! Staff are very nice and welcoming. One thing to note is that there isn't tons to offer, but they do keep their pool open year around, they have a pool heater which is cool. They have a bar but it wasn't open the whole time we stood there. I hope they work on offering more stuff for us RV folks :)

5 nights at The Retreat RV Resort

My family really enjoyed The Retreat. We had 8 people in our group and stayed in one of the cabins. It was a tight squeeze but we made it work. We really liked the pool and other amenities that were provided. The staff were very friendly and attentive. We bothered them a lot with towel, toilet paper, and trash bag requests. There was wifi in the clubhouse and in the cabins. You can rent golf carts to drive around in and cabanas around the pool. My only complaint is that the only shade around the pool was the cabana, and the Texas sun is not forgiving. All together, it was a great stay and we would definitely return.

We LOVE Stella Mare and would stay here again in a heart beat! So clean and quiet. We loved the pool and walking around the RV "park". We drove our car on the beach in Galveston, and you have to get the pork chops at Doc Holidays! If you're leaving here and going east (we were headed to Florida), look into taking the ferry. We didn't and it added an hour to our drive.

The best big rig friendly camping near Crosby guide

Where to go

Around Lake Houston

North of Crosby, the 160,000-acre Lake Houston is teeming with bass and crappie, and you can find quiet fishing spots along the shore or BYOB (bring your own boat) to cruise the lake. On the north shore, the Lake Houston Wilderness Park has trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding, as well as backcountry camping.

Far North Houston

Further north from Lake Houston, the Sam Houston National Forest is an all-natural playground with miles of forest trails, woodland walks, and tranquil camping spots. Ardent hikers can set out along the 128-mile Lone Star Hiking Trail, but there are also plenty of shorter trails, many accessible for bikes, OHV, and horses. The forest is bounded by two lakes—Lake Conroe and Lake Livingston—where you can also swim, fish, and enjoy water sports.

Gulf Coast

The San Jacinto River winds its way south all the way to the Gulf Coast, where the coastal wetlands and beaches afford some of the best birding in Texas. RV parks dot the shores of Trinity Bay, but for beach camping, head south to Galveston Island State Park. Work up an appetite kayaking around the wetlands, then catch some fish shoreside to cook up around the campfire.

When to go

Camping is a year-round pastime in Crosby but the most pleasant weather for outdoor activities in spring and fall. Summers are hot and humid (expect daily averages of 94°F), so choose a camping ground close to the water or cool off along the Gulf Coast. Forest walks are almost magical in autumn with their rainbow of fall foliage.

Know before you go

There are no public transport links to Houston, so you’ll need your own transportation to get to and around Crosby.
Crosby has a selection of shops where you can purchase groceries, camping gear, and fishing supplies. Pick up everything you need in town before heading out to the lakes or riverside.
Most Texas State Parks require reservations for both day passes and campgrounds, and fishing permits are often required.
