Broken Oak River Park

12 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Edna, TX

40 acres – “Big enough to explore, but not too big to get lost!” Hike alongside the meandering Navidad. The 2/3 mile-long developed walking trail offers pristine views and a good opportunity to scout your campsite. Each area features a distinct slice of Texan wilderness, whether you prefer wooded terrain or a lookout over the river. One site features a handmade brick firepit and a perfect spot for stargazing. During the day, you can follow the river to some waterholes and try your luck at catching catfish and perch. Celebrate your success with a picnic under a sprawling oak, keeping an eye out for deer, rabbits, and other playful animals. If exploring is more your style, head into the woods and hunt for Bandit’s Hideaway, a hollow old sycamore with secrets to tell. Depending on the season, you might stumble on wild dewberries or an ancient grove of pecans. At night, grill your family dinner over the firepit (or sneak ‘em back to town for some Tex-Mex!) and then tell ghost stories at the south fence overlooking Enon Cemetary. After a long day, settle in together with the stars and the sounds of nature. They say life’s what you make it, and at the 40, you’ve got everything you need for a little piece of heaven! While the property is largely undeveloped as of now, we plan to add pubic bathrooms, a stocked pond with a swimming area, and much more! Pets allowed. Please be sure to pick up after them.

Camping near El Campo guide

Overview

Named “The Camp” by Mexican cowboys who used to set up camp in the town during cattle drives, El Campo remains a welcoming pitstop for campers to this day. Just an hour’s drive from both Houston and the Gulf Coast, you’ll be within easy reach of the city’s foodie scene and Space Center, as well as the sandy beaches of Matagorda Bay. But the appeal of El Campo itself is peace and quiet. Pitch your tent or park your RV at one of the town’s many campgrounds and enjoy rural life in the country town, or go kayaking, fishing, and hiking at nearby Lake Texana. There are several RV parks and Hipcamps in and around town, some with full hookups and pull-through sites with plenty of space for big rigs, and others with luxury facilities, a swimming pool, and cottage rentals.
