Camp Right On The Gulf Coast At These 5 Beaches In Texas
We’re all about camping here in Texas, but I never hear much talk about camping on the beach! It’s probably because most people don’t know it’s possible, but I assure you it is. There’s just something about being in near seclusion with the lulling sound of waves lapping against the shore that’s unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. These five beaches definitely belong on your summer 2017 bucket list.

Sea Rim has 15 campsites with electricity, located right next to the beach and boardwalk. These sites include picnic tables, an outdoor grill, a tent pad, water hookup, a lantern post and a 50/30 amp hookup. There are also 75 primitive campsites that don't require a reservation and one boat-accessible site in the park's marsh.

There's a primitive campground at the docking area with 13 sites available on a first come/first served basis. You'll find barbecue pits, fire rings, and plenty of shade to keep you comfortable, and a shower and bathroom facility is located nearby. Just a heads up, though - you will need either a Limited Use Public Permit or an Annual Hunting Public Lands Permit to camp here.

South Beach is much the same as North Beach in terms of campsites, amenities, etc, the only notable differences being that South Beach is a much longer stretch of land (60 miles) and has a chemical toilet and dumpster at the entrance.

Mustang Island is incredibly camp-friendly, with 48 sites with electricity and 50 primitive. The former aren't actually located on the beach but rather 40-75 yards from the water, while the latter are on a 1.5 mile stretch of sand.
