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.

We will not be liable for anything that happens on the land so please be careful.

Eric and Jay’s RV Resort is a chic resort consisting of 114 RV pads in a gated, access-controlled community. The RV pads range in size with 30-foot back-ins, 40-foot extended length, and luxury pull-throughs. Each slip is outfitted with a picnic table and includes water, sewer and electric hook-ups as well as a fast fiber internet connection. The drive lanes are 20 - 28 feet wide allowing for easy maneuvering. Select pads feature a lake view, quick amenity access, private yards and/or covered parking. The resort is a stylish, amenity-laden destination offering a charming Texas Hill Country vibe in the midst of the exciting city life. The property is anchored by a clubhouse and pool terrace with a heated jacuzzi, a gazebo grilling/dining area, and an outdoor fire pit overlooking the large pond stocked for fishing. The modern Clubhouse features individual restrooms with showers, a fitness center, a game room, a business center, a lounge, a hospitality kitchen, and a laundry room. A major perk of staying at Eric and Jay’s is the immediate access to the City of Houston’s vast retail and transportation network. We have short-term guests coming for a long weekend to visit Houston and long-term guests embracing the close-knit community while not having to worry about a long commute.

Where to go

North Houston

Houston’s northern suburbs are hemmed in by a green belt of state parks, lakes, and national forests. Camp, hike, and fish at Lake Conroe or Huntsville State Park, explore the sprawling Sam Houston National Forest, or continue north into the adjoining Lake Livingston State Park. Closer to the city, Lake Houston is a popular recreation ground, and you can camp at the lakeside Wilderness Park

Along the Brazos River

South of San Felipe, country campgrounds and RV parks pepper the banks of the Brazos River. The Brazos Bend State Park should be top of the to-do list for fishing and birding enthusiasts, and camping options include primitive sites and an equestrian camp. Further south, the sandy beaches and coastal wetlands of the Gulf Coast are easily reached on a day trip. 

South Austin

West of San Felipe, the Colorado River winds its way to Austin, passing several state parks, lakes, and camping spots. Enjoy fishing, canoeing, and lakeside camping in Buescher State Park, or choose between walk-in campsites, full hookup sites, and cabins in Bastrop State Park. Just 20 minutes from downtown Austin, McKinney Falls State Park is ideal for urban campers looking to escape the crowds. 

When to go

Camping is possible year-round in San Felipe, but spring and fall bring the most pleasant weather. Summers are scorching in Texas, with daily temperatures averaging 94°F and high humidity—you might want to rethink hiking and tent camping and take your RV to the riverside instead. Migrating birds pass through the Stephen F. Austin State Park in spring and fall, while forest hiking is most scenic against the colorful backdrop of autumn leaves.

Know before you go

  • There are no public transport links to Houston, so you’ll need your own way to get to and around San Felipe. 
  • San Felipe 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 Stephen F. Austin State Park.
  • Most Texas State Parks require reservations for both day passes and campgrounds, and fishing permits are often required.
