10 RV Resorts In Texas To Visit This Winter

Warm up this Winter at Texas RV Destinations

As the ads used to say, “Texas is like a whole other country.” As the second-largest state in the United States at approximately 27,000 square miles, it is home to a variety of ecosystems from dry deserts, to swamps, lakes, and marshes. It is also home to the Chihuahuan Desert, one of the largest deserts in the world.

In my travels through Texas, from the Oklahoma border through Dallas, Austin, and Corpus Christi to the Gulf Coast, we saw multiple RV parks. Most probably will not make this list, but rest assured if you are traveling through this massive state, you won’t have far to go to find a place for the night.

Where to Find the Best RV resorts in Texas

Check out a few of the many beautiful parks you will find. You can find many more locations, and learn more about their amenities, with a quick search on RV LIFE Campgrounds or RV LIFE Trip Wizard.

1. Gulf Waters Beachfront RV Resort

I am probably a little prejudiced in listing this one first. I am currently work camping at this beautiful resort on Mustang Island near Port Aransas on the Gulf Coast.

With some 158 landscaped sites and approximately 1,600 palm trees on the property, this is one of the lushest parks in the area. Sites in the park are individually owned and therefore each is a little different based on amenities the owner has chosen. Some include shade structures and an outdoor wet bar area. Many back up to a pond where you can enjoy the wildlife or a beautiful sunset.

Sites average 40 X 80 and have level concrete pads. All sites have full hookups and access to free Wi-Fi and cable. A heated pool and Jacuzzi are available to use year-round.

The beach is a short walk from any site and the boardwalk over the dunes can accommodate a golf cart. The beach is also accessible by car from nearby beach access sites.

The park is not far from Port Aransas where you can find plenty of restaurants and shops, purchase shrimp fresh off the boat, or just enjoy dolphin watching and fishing.

Gulf Waters RV Resort has an excellent 8.7 average rating on RV LIFE Campgrounds with over 136 reviews. Reservations are by phone only at 361-749-4978.

“We enjoyed our stay at Fredericksburg RV Park. We found the park to be clean, manicured, and within a convenient walk to restaurants and entertainment. The pull thru sites were level and easy to access. The staff was friendly, helpful, and made our visit comfortable. We look forward to staying here again! We camped at Fredericksburg RV Park in a Motorhome.”
