Tips for Snagging a Campsite Reservation
- You can reserve campsites at all of the park’s campgrounds and cabins in advance via the Texas State Parks website.
- Campsite reservations open five months in advance.
- Campsites can book up as fast for summer and holiday weekends—book as early as possible, especially for Piping Plover.
When to Go
Sea Rim State Park is open year-round, but the busiest season is from April through July. Beach conditions vary, but it’s often warm enough to swim from April through October, and beach camping is most pleasant during this period. Bird-watching is popular throughout the year, but sightings are most common during the spring migration.
Know Before You Go
- Sea Rim State Park is located 45 miles south of Beaumont or about a 50-minute drive away.
- Park entrance fees are required in addition to camping fees, and general entrance reservations can be made up to one month in advance.
- Facilities in the park include restrooms, picnic and day-use areas, a boat ramp, and kayak launch ramps. You can rent kayaks, canoes, and fishing gear within the park, or bring your own. Equestrian camping is also possible, but you must bring your own corrals or tethers.
- You can fish along the coast and marshes—fishing licenses are not required if fishing from the shore. However, daily bag limits are in place.
- Alligators are common in the park. Swim only in designated areas and never swim after sunset.
- There are accessible restrooms and boardwalks at Sea State Park.
Sea Rim State Park
Five miles of beaches, marshlands, and coastal camping along the Texan Gulf Coast.
Let the wild beaches and wildlife-filled wetlands tempt you to Texas’ far southeast corner at Sea Rim State Park. Swim, fish, or camp along the Gulf Coast beaches, saddle up for a horseback ride along the sand, or admire the views from the coastal boardwalks. Inland, enjoy bird-watching and saltwater fishing at the lakes and lagoons, launch your canoe or kayak along the waterways, or follow one of the graded paddling trails around the marshes. RV sites and cabins are available, but if you’re feeling adventurous, why not pitch your tent right on the beach?
