Weekend Trip to Broken Oak River Park

Nice cool breeze/ weather around the area. Campsite is easy to get to.

Weekend Trip to Dead End Creek

10/10 would definitely recommend. Beautiful relaxing location.

Weekend Trip to Broken Oak River Park

We loved it. Several nice camp sites. We stayed at the RV site.

Weekend Trip to Broken Oak River Park

The host was very responsive all the time and the site was perfect for camping, we enjoyed it so much.

7 nights at Carly's Bait And Boondocking

Always a great stop, Marc is a great host, always willing to help.

Weekend Trip to Broken Oak River Park

Well kept, clean, private, and very dog/family friendly. Host was kind and attentive. Can’t wait to come back after a good rain so we can enjoy the river.

Weekend Trip to Dead End Creek

Secluded and peaceful! What a fantastic spot to get away!

3 nights at Carly's Bait And Boondocking

Please Note: We tent camp to fish so our experience was based on mostly fishing. We had a great time! This spot is about 100 yards from the beach. There is a public bathroom and outdoor showers nearby. There are piers and small jetties to fish from close by. There is a boat ramp about 5mins away at Indianola. Marc has a nice little setup on the back end of the camp for some fishing and we were easily able to launch kayaks into the saltwater lake/marsh. Saw tons of big reds. Unfortunately, the wind (20s sustained & 40mph gust) limited our time and range on the kayaks. Even so, we were able to catch a nice slot red in the marsh that we gifted to Marc. Definitely don't recommend wade fishing back there due to the soil being very muddy/soft and is a major safety hazard. 1 step and your leg is calf deep in the mud (wouldn't wanna get stuck or sucked into the deeper parts of the lake). Marc was great and we definitely plan to revist in the summer.

Weekend Trip to Carly's Bait And Boondocking

Awesome host, great site, hopefully back next year.

Weekend Trip to Carly's Bait And Boondocking

I was impressed with Marc’s friendliness & location of his spot

4 nights at Dead End Creek

Cool camping spot that you wouldn’t expect in a place like Goliad. We stayed in the Skulltree camp and the shade the two oak trees produce is perfect on warmer days. It stays ten to fifteen degrees cooler in the shade. Plenty of space to set up camp, there were quite a few fire ant mounds within the campsite so be careful for that. Hosts were fantastic, great communication prior to showing up, and they leave you be, wish we really loved and appreciate! Would highly recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Broken Oak River Park

Campsite 6 was perfect for our group of 4. I definitely

4 nights at Carly's Bait And Boondocking

Loved the peace and quiet. Spacious camp site practically on the beach Marc is a great host. Will definitely be back if back in the area.

2 nights at Broken Oak River Park

Very secluded spot by the river, was exactly what I needed for a short getaway. Site was well maintained and the host was welcoming and quick to respond.

1 night at Carly's Bait And Boondocking

This is a tranquil spot where you can see the sunrise over the ocean in front of the property and the sunset over an estuary behind the property. Quiet base from which to walk the beach, bike on Ocean drive, fish, and more. Marc is a great host and knows the local scene very well.

Weekend Trip to Broken Oak River Park

The site was fantastic! There was nothing that was negative about our experience/stay. It was nice to disconnect from city life and the owners were very tentative. Thank you so much for the awesome stay!!

Weekend Trip to Carly's Bait And Boondocking

The front side of the property has great views of the ocean and sunrises, while the back side looks over an estuary and peaceful sunsets. Marc is an excellent host with interesting knowledge of the local scene.

5 nights at Carly's Bait And Boondocking

It was as awesome site as cross from small beach, but beach ran for the miles up and down. Quiet, relaxing. Marc and Laura were great hosts. I'm going back.

Carly's Bait And Boondocking

5 sites · RVs, Tents1 acre · Port Lavaca, TX

Beautiful off grid dispersed camping on Lava Bay, steps away from the beach and marsh. Sunrises and sunsets are unobstructed from this location. Quiet and peaceful, yet just close enough to the local marina, shopping, and restaurants. Easy access to camp from Ocean Drive. Zero overhead hazards on property, ex. no overhead power lines or tree limbs. Excellent fishing on both the Lavaca Bay/ beach side, and the marsh side of the property. Bring your own kayak or small boat. Launch from the property or anywhere else near by. Shore fishing can be excellent at times. Bird enthusiasts will love the Magic Bird Sanctuary located directly behind the property. Bring your binoculars to get closer to the action. If you are looking for space, relaxation, beautiful scenery and the chance to wet a line, this may be the place for you. Carly's Bait and Boondocking will soon have a small bait shop. Until then, your host will provide you with bait, fish, and crab traps that will be located in the marsh. Feel free to take as much bait from the traps until the actual bait shop is up and running. We are just starting here, and more amenities will be available soon. Until then, please enjoy your stay, and "tight lines" to everyone.

Magnolia Beach RV Park

2 sites · RVs1 acre · Port Lavaca, TX

Welcome to Magnolia Beach RV Park in Port Lavaca, Texas! We are a small RV park that offers electric, water, sewer, trash, and WiFi. All sites are 50, 30, and 20 Amp and have water and sewer hookups. Pets are welcome! We are close to Magnolia Beach, Port Lavaca business district, and Indianola. When you feel the gulf breezes, you know you've made it to Goose Island. Nestled near St. Charles and Aransas Bays, this Texas state park is all about the water. We're talking boating, kayaking, fishing, and birdwatching along the coast. The only thing you can't do is swim. (Sorry.) That said, there's plenty of luck to be had on the 1,620-foot fishing pier. A boat launch and kayak/canoe launch are also available. Remember to bring your own boat! No stay is complete without visiting the main attraction—a 1,000-year-old oak lovingly dubbed The Big Tree. (Don't worry, it's still standing strong in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.) We primarily cater to month to month guests working in the area so there's not a ton of activities around, but my wife and I are full-time RV'ers so we are hosts as a way to give back to our awesome community. We are located super close to Magnolia Beach though where there is free beach camping for 14 nights! Pets are allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them. We offer discounted rates to HipCampers at $25/night (usually $30) and $150/week (usually $175). We also now have golf carts available for rent!! https://magnoliabeachrvpark.com

Lake Texana stands out as a unique destination due to its expansive 10,000 acres of water and 125 miles of scenic shoreline, making it a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Nestled on the Navidad River, just 8 miles east of Edna in Jackson County, Texas, this reservoir was created by the construction of the Palmetto Bend Dam, which began in 1968 and was completed in 1979. Managed by the Lavaca-Navidad River Authority, Lake Texana serves as a vital source of drinking water for nearby communities and industries, being the only reservoir under the Authority's management. For fishing enthusiasts, Lake Texana offers a diverse range of fish species, including catfish, bass, and crappie, thanks to regular stocking efforts aimed at enhancing recreational fishing opportunities. The lake is also home to a variety of native plant species, such as coontail, spikerush, cattail, pondweed, bull's tongue, pickerel weed, and duckweed, which contribute to the area's rich ecosystem. However, visitors should be aware of three invasive species present in the lake: hydrilla, giant salvinia, and water hyacinth, with the giant salvinia currently limited to the Sandy Creek
