It was great for a fairly isolated spot. I'm sure the fishing in the area is better during other times of the year, but we still enjoyed our visit. Mosquitos and ants were terrible though....

Easy check-in, good price, quiet, and level concrete pads. No luck seeing the northern lights but could see the stars well. Just down the street from the main driving entry to Crystal Beach / the Zoo and the gas station that sells driving permits for the beach.

Lisa's property and RV pad is impeccably well maintained. The location is perfect for relaxing on their property, hanging by the beach right in front of the property or heading down the public beach nearby. We are looking forward to coming back!!

My dog and I enjoyed a quiet peaceful visit to Magnolia Gardens and were so relaxed walking along the San Jacinto River while the train made its way across the old trestle bridge at the far end of the park. Very nice place and the sunset over the river was icing on the cake! Thanks!

Came on Labor Day weekend, so I was expecting it to be crowded. It wasn’t. Not like Galveston or Corpus. Nice, peaceful, seaside town. This property has one side on the intercoastal waterway, the other is the beach. Great for fishing or beach combing. The road in is sand/gravel/shells. It has some potholes from the weather, but 2wd can make it. Just go slow. Property was well kept - clean and mowed. I know the description says the host will be there upon arrival, but they weren’t. But, everything was self evident. Host did respond quickly to my message. There is water, 20/30/50 electric, and sewer. There is a trash bin. The pads are pretty wide, enough room to have your lawn chairs/table etc. next to RV. The pads, though, are pretty close to each other. They are very flat. Bring your mosquito and ant repellent. There’s a small Texaco station on the mainland for gas and such. There’s a BBQ stand about a couple miles inland, and the largest restaurant, The Crab Trap, about 8 miles inland. If you are familiar with driving on the sand and have a capable vehicle, you can drive right out there and go quite a ways. A lot or two over is a mooring park that boats will pull up to rest. There’s not any shade so if this is something you desire, be sure to prepare accordingly. There’s lots of frogs at night, but they aren’t loud. I’ll post a review video in a week or so on YT at Camp Check.

We had a great time. Took the family and three dogs. Has a dedicated fenced dog run. Very private location right on the Bayou. Has a great private dock with good fishing. Caught redfish, blue crabs, spotted sea trout, black drum, catfish, bluegill, ladyfish and alligator gar all in one spot. The hookups were in the perfect location and did not require a long 50amp cord or septic hoses. Surfside beach is only 18 minutes away for your beach fix and good food. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Great host and great spot.

Moss Island was perfect. It was peaceful and very clean. I read previous comments before booking. The ants and mosquitos were minimal. The beach is literally right across the road. We just walked the beach some, it was not crowded and you could fish in the surf. The sites were clean and concrete slabs were nice. There was a large grass area, we were able to set up our chairs, tent, and poles. We caught a variety of fish and an eel. We also had fun crabbing. It was cool looking at all the big barges in the waterway . The only issue we had was the heat, but that is expected in August in Texas. We will definitely book again when it cools off some!

Small RV park very well kept has nice docks for fishing and close to the beach. Pads are oversized so plenty of room for most RVs.

Full hookups right next to the beach, can't beat that! Sunrise on the beach and sunset over the canal. This beach is more remote than Galveston so it's a lot less busy.
Lots of birds to watch, especially the pelicans.
The barges in the canal right behind us were fascinating to watch. The noise might get annoying after a while but for 3 days it was still interesting.

We had an awesome stay at the OceanFront RV Pad in Sargent, Texas. The location is unbeatable — the surf is literally steps from your camper! I spent hours fishing right from the shoreline and caught a variety of species, including a beautiful redfish I grilled up fresh on the charcoal BBQ pit provided at the site.
The site itself was clean, well-maintained, and easy to access, even for a larger rig. What really stood out was the host — incredibly accommodating and responsive, which made the entire experience that much smoother.
If you’re looking for a peaceful, beachfront spot with great fishing and a laid-back vibe, this place is a gem. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful spot right on the Gulf! Just listening to the waves and feeling the breeze on a hot summer day, guarantees us coming back for another stay. Awesome host!

Nice and quiet site. Mostly private. The landscape was very nice and offered multi "textures". There were wildflowers and grassy areas (where we pitched a couple tents) as well as rocky areas with lots of shells heading out towards the sandy beach. The owner's house is near the RV pad but they were gracious with offering their space while giving us our space and were nearby if we needed help. Our AC went out and the host found us a number to call for a tech. The host also offered to take our trash when we were leaving, both of which were above and beyond our expectations.

Perfect little camp spot for teaching the grandkids how to crab and learning how to cast for our 6 year old. No keepers but they had lots of fun! We’ll be back soon to try again! ☀️🏝️⛱️🦀

This is an amazing spot to come bring the family. The host is extremely accommodating and the location is perfect. Just steps away from what feels like a private beach. Water and electrical hookups makes this place a 10 out of 10. Will most definitely visit again!
