The best river, stream, or creek RV sites near Galveston

·

Nestled on the Texas Gulf Coast, Galveston offers breathtaking camping experiences where beaches are always close by. Galveston Island is long and narrow with over 30 miles of beaches on the inland side facing West Bay and the ocean side facing the Gulf of Mexico, excellent for sunbathing, beachcombing, swimming, fishing, kayaking, boating, and birdwatching, too. San Luis Pass County Park and Galveston Island State Park feature beachfront camping on the island, but more rustic, primitive campsites are available inland at Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge where campers can spot bobcats, white-tailed deer, marsh rabbits, and waterfowl like herons and sandpipers.

Nestled between the Gulf of Mexico and the Intercoastal Waterway, Sargent Island, with its unique, water-front home sites, was created in the 1950s. A quiet community, we feel Sargent is an oasis away from the crowds and congestion of other beach-side communities. We love taking a break from our busy lives to listen to the waves roaring down the shore. We think you'll love it, too! Learn more about this land: This is a 8000 sq ft privately owned, ocean-side lot. Located on a barrier island in Sargent, TX, the site offers a neighborhood atmosphere, with a secluded, unobstructed beach view. There is an approximately 30x30 gravel pad and long driveway. The property is beach front, but dune area/beach may not be accessible by foot (depends on tidal flow, rainfall, Gulf storms etc.). Full beach access is about 1/4 mile down the road. This is a subdivision--there is a neighbor on our right side. This is an RV lot only. This property suits smaller to midsize RVs and most wheeled campers (but no ground tents--there is too much ground wildlife for safety, though elevated, vehicle-mounted tents are fine).  The property is still in development. We currently have electricity (110v, 30, 50 amp), water, but NO SEWER OR SEPTIC. You must bring your own toilet facilities with you and take the waste away. NOTE: Public Toilet facilities and trash available 1.5 miles away. We do provide a picnic table, but it changes often--we lose them in storms, lol. You'll also have a clothes line and a canopy as wind/storms permit. If you're an introvert, dislike traffic or just like breathing room, you'll love quiet, crowd-free, Sargent beach. It's such a peaceful getaway!  ISLAND LIFE NOTE: This is the Texas Gulf Coast--we have mosquitos, and it's the state bird for a reason! Please bring SPRAY. We never guarantee a bug-free experience. This gorgeous, island property is vulnerable to the extreme weather conditions on the Texas Gulf Coast. It's a dynamic property, shifting and changing, depending on the weather--we try our best to maintain this property in a timely manner, but we can't control this Mother Nature factor! There may be times we cannot put up the shade canopy due to high winds, other aspects of the property may have shifted, there may not be a beach due to high tides, you may not be able to walk to the beach from the property, etc. Please ask questions and we'll communicate what's available at your booking time. Our strict cancellation policy encourages good communication at time of booking. We do not grant refunds for rain, tidal flow, or any other natural element beyond our control. Keep in mind HipCamp may offer weather insurance for you.

Where to go

Galveston Island State Park

On the west end of Galveston Island, this 2,000-acre state park offers beachfront and bayside camping with tent campsites including picnic tables, water pumps, and fire rings, plus nearby restrooms and shared showers. RV campers can choose between dry campsites for their trailers and motorhomes or RV sites with 50-amp hookups for electricity. While staying at or near Galveston Island State Park, Hipcampers can go paddling, mountain biking, hiking, or fishing—no license required for catching mackerel and jacks from shore.

San Luis Pass County Park

Just across San Luis Pass on the far west end of Galveston Island is the 15-acre San Luis Pass County Park, a bay park promising a quieter escape from everyday life. Full-service RV camping with hookups for 30-amp and 50-amp service, plus water and sewage is available, as are back-in and pull-through sites for campers and trailers. While tent camping isn’t allowed, the park has two rental cabins—ideal for catching the iconic sunsets at San Luis Park. Anglers will also appreciate the boat launches and on-site fish cleaning stations.

Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge

A not-so-hidden secret less than an hour’s drive from Galveston’s beaches is Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge. This 44,000-acre wildlife refuge is one of the most biologically rich environments in Texas and home to a stunning variety of migratory birds in winter, including 24 species of ducks and 13 species of sparrows. Alligators, frogs, salamanders, coyotes, and hawks are here year-round. Overnight camping is not allowed in the park, but nearby campsites, rental cabins, and RV parks provide easy access to this wildlife-spotting wonderland.

When to go

Galveston is a great destination for year-round camping in Texas—most campsites are open throughout the year, though some activities may be limited during winter. Campgrounds tend to be less busy in the spring and fall, and the weather is milder with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-80s. Spring brings beautiful wildflowers and greenery to the parks and trails near Galveston. Summer can get hot and humid, as high as the mid-90s, but it’s also a popular time of year for water activities. Winter is a bit cooler, as low as the mid-40s, with opportunities to spot migratory birds, nesting sea turtles, and sun-bathing alligators.
