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.

Private lot on the Gulf of Mexico in Sargent, Texas. Just walk across the foot path to the Gulf of Mexico. Full RV Hookups - water, electrical (50A/30A/20A), and sewage. 70+ feet of concrete pad and driveway inside the fenced yard with plenty of space for all RVs.
The property is fully fenced. The entrance gate is 16' wide. The yard is all St. Augustine grass. Very clean and maintained. Pets are welcome.
This property is tailored for RVs, 5th Wheels, Travel Trailers, and Motorhomes that have black and grey tanks and can hold their waste water (shower, toilet, and washing) for dumping into the on-site water treatment unit. You must have your own shower, sinks, and toilet on your rig with holding tanks for black and grey water and the ability to dump into the dump location on the property. The property is not designed for tent campers.
The electrical and sewage hookups are on the left side of the property. Motorhomes (Class A, Pushers, and Class C RVs can pull directly into the space with hookups in the usual location. 5th wheels, travel trailers, and campers that are pulled by a vehicle will need to back into the space as there is no room in the front of the property to drive in, unhook your vehicle, and drive the vehicle off the slab. When you back in, the hookups will be on the the opposite side of your connections. Depending upon your travel trailer and where you place your travel trailer on the slab, you may need electrical or sewage extensions to reach the connections.
The vast majority of the renters who use the property used a 5th wheel, travel trailer or camper that is pulled by a vehicle.
The pictures of the property show a line of granite blocks between the property and the beach. The granite forms a seawall (called the revetment wall) that was installed by the Corp of Engineers and prevents beach erosion. Depending on the tides, sometimes the Gulf waters hit the wall and there is very little beach area in front of the property. Sometimes, there is a large beach area. If the water is against the seawall and you’re looking for beach area, there are several beach entrances along Canal Drive within driving and walking distance.

We had a great time at this camp. Well kept and maintained, also private. We were able to fish also our dogs had fun. As expected, since close to water mosquitos can get in the way but come prepared and you will be all right.

Totally will be staying here again! Jim is great with his communication to include the mosquito density. All but one day was breezy so they were only an issue toward sundown.
The lot is mowed regularly and all the hook-ups worked as they should.
We will booking again in the near future!

Awesome place right next to the beach. Plenty of space to stretch out. Have to watch out for the sand burrs here and there but you'll have that with sandy areas. Very peaceful and just the stay we were looking for!

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....

Place is very well maintained. Clean and with good hookups. The fence was great for our dogs so they could run and play. A good kind of isolated.
James provided us with good info and things to take into account. He made us aware of the mosquitos, which is something to plan for and know when and where be outside. The weather while we were at the camp was chilly so we were able to enjoy mornings and late evenings without worrying too much about them. If you are visiting plan ahead - shelter, permethrin, wondercide, citronella and protection for your dogs and yourself.
We will certainly be coming back.

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!

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!

Camping near Matagorda guide
Where to go
Matagorda Bay
Fifty-eight miles of beaches stretch along the Matagorda peninsula, and campers can enjoy primitive camping along much of the seashore. Around 22 miles are accessible by vehicle, but you’ll need a boat to explore further afield. Fishing, kayaking, and surfing are the main activities along the beaches and tidal marshes, while bird-watchers will want to add the Mad Island Marsh Preserve and Matagorda Bay Nature Park to their itinerary.
Galveston Bay
East of Matagorda, coastal wetlands stretch along the coast to Galveston Bay. Nature walks and bird-watching opportunities abound in the San Bernard and Brazoria National Wildlife Refuges, while primitive camping is possible within the Justin Hurst Wildlife Management Area. Campers will find numerous options along Galveston Island, but for the best views, park your RV or pitch a tent by the beachside in the Galveston Island State Park.
South Houston
Urban campers have options around Houston, and camping to the south and West of the city is the best way to avoid the crowds. Riverside campgrounds dot the banks of the Brazos River, where you can camp on a working cattle ranch or choose from RV sites, group camps, and cabins in Stephen F. Austin State Park. There’s also RV camping with electric hookups as well as primitive camping in Brazos Bend State Park.
When to go
When the summer heat kicks in, the Gulf Coast is the best place to cool off from the Texan sun. Summers stretch from May through September, and this is peak season, so reserve campgrounds well in advance. The Gulf waters are often warm enough for swimming and water sports in spring and fall, while winter temperatures are still mild enough for camping along the coast. Birding opportunities are best during the spring and fall migrations.
Know before you go
- You’ll need your own transportation to get to and around Matagorda—better yet, bring your boat. A 4x4 is recommended for beach driving, and a 15mph speed limit is in place along Matagorda beach.
- There are shops in town where you can pick up groceries, camping supplies, and fishing bait and tackle. Bring everything you need with you if camping along the beach.
- Tent and RV camping is permitted on the beaches in Matagorda. An annual beach vehicle permit is required for driving on Matagorda Beach, but there are no additional camping fees.
