The best camping near Rosenberg with campfires

·

For urban campers looking to escape the high rises of Houston, Rosenberg makes a strategic choice, just a half-hour drive from downtown. The Rosenberg Historic Downtown District should be your first port of call, lined with heritage buildings, museums, and independent shopping boutiques. Once you’ve taken in the highlights, set out for the nearby Brazos Bend State Park, where bird-watching, fishing, and wildlife spotting are the main pastimes. There’s plenty of camping in the park, including primitive tent camping sites and an equestrian camp. Campers can also stay at one of the RV parks in town or along the Brazos River.

Quiet natural location away from the busy city. Located on a private access uneven dirt road so a 4x4 or all wheel drive vehicle is recommended. There is a firepit but please burn inside the cinder blocks area and keep it under control (not too big). Do not burn when it is windy. There is plenty of firewood to use for the fire pit. Please make sure to completely put fire out when done. There are 6 acres and you are welcome to camp anywhere you like, in the open areas or in the woody areas in the back. We have a RV barn area that can be used for shade, sitting, eating, relaxing, etc. You can use the tables and chairs. There is also a white water container on the table that you can use for washing. There is a 32 gallon trash bucket that you can put trash in but make sure lid is closed when you're done to keep animals out. This site does have limited solar electric power in RV area. To turn on, flip the switch on the surge strip on the wall behind the microwave. There is no running water so please plan accordingly. There is currently not a toilet available but I'm planning on building a composting toilet soon. For now, use the natural way and make sure to bury. For security, there is one camera on the property located near the front entrance and it is mainly for monitoring the front entrance area. There is also another camera near the north side of RV barn for security of storage room and RV. This site can also be used for long term parking/storing your RV or vehicle but we are not liable for anything that happens. If interested, please contact me or use the app called "Neighbor". The RV barn currently already has a RV inside it so that parking space can't be used. Our long-term plan is to also make the RV available but we would need to install an in ground septic system and electricity first.

The property borders a small creek and has abundant trees, and wildlife. Beautiful views from every vantage with a high field on one half of the property and a low bottom land near the creek where there are many options for a relaxing, private stay. Chose big sky or a more secluded spot. Incredible wildflowers on display in the spring. The property is not bordered by close neighbors or dense housing, just more land so sunsets and rises are wonderful and open. Low ambient light pollution at night means the stars are very bright (and so are the fireflies)! Guests are required to communicate estimated time of arrival well in advance. When arriving, make sure to meet Aaron or a designate at the red gate before entering further into the property. If tent camping, please do not bring glass containers, also you must pack out all garbage and waste. Inquire ahead of time to see if firewood is available to be gathered on site, or if you will need to bring your own. No uninvited guests without 24 hour prior approval, and additional guest fees paid. Also please no more than one dog per site.

The best camping near Rosenberg with campfires guide

Where to go

North Houston

Lakes and woodlands fringe the northern boundaries of Houston, providing a natural playground for adventurers. Boating and fishing are the main reasons for a visit to Lake Houston, while the Lake Houston Wilderness Park has trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Camping is possible in the park as well as in Sheldon Lake State Park to the south. 

Galveston Bay

Birding enthusiasts and beach lovers flock to Galveston Bay, south-east of Rosenberg. Camp right on the beachfront in the Galveston Island State Park, and you’ll have easy access to the beaches and wetlands. Kayaking tours are the most scenic way to explore, and you’ll get to enjoy some of the best bird-watching in Texas.

Gulf Coast

South of Rosenberg, the Gulf Coast is the place to cool off from the Texan sun. Discover the wildlife-filled wetlands of the San Bernard and Brazoria National Wildlife Refuges, or enjoy primitive camping in the Justin Hurst Wildlife Management Area. Further West, the Matagorda Peninsula has miles of sandy beaches with choppy surf and beach camping.

When to go

The most pleasant temperatures for camping in Rosenberg are spring and fall, which is the best time for hiking, birding, and other outdoor activities. Summers can be extremely hot and humid with average highs of 94°F, so leave the tent at home or head down to the Gulf Coast to cool off at the beach. Mild winter temperatures mean RV camping is enjoyable year-round. 

Know before you go

  • It’s possible to reach downtown Houston via public transport, but getting to and around Rosenberg is much easier with your own transportation. 
  • Rosenberg 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 Brazos Bend State Park.
  • Most Texas State Parks require reservations for both day passes and campgrounds, and fishing permits are often required.
