The best camping near Port Arthur with surfing

·

In Port Arthur, surfers have six RV camping options where the Gulf winds deliver steady waves and salt air. Sites like Gulfview RV Port (14 reviews) sit minutes from the sand, offering easy board access and a solid shower to rinse off after a session. Prices average around $80 a night, with some sites starting at $50. You’ll find campfires allowed—perfect for warming up after a late surf—plus pet-friendly spots if your dog tags along. Fishing and wildlife-watching round out the days, but here, it’s the surf that sets the pace. Nauti Pelican (6 reviews) and The Tiny Turtle (1 review) both keep you close to the water and offer the basics without fuss. Expect a laid-back scene, reliable facilities, and a steady supply of coastline to explore.
