Brazoria Beach

Stayed two nights out of 14 days free camping. Well maintained. Area and porta potties were clean, and trash cans were emptied regularly. A couple in a truck and a car were doing donuts the first night. Second night was more peaceful. Tip is to camp as far as you can from the porta potties if you don't want to be disturbed by people driving there during the night to use them. Overall a good experience for first time solo SUV camping.

I gave it that particular headline because travelers can stay a while if you have an RV or SUV. It's a tad too windy fo consistent tent camping. The FREE Beach is clean, people are polite, and the sunrises are exquisite.
Of course, there are several positive reviews about all that.
Locally, there's a place called the Jetty Shack that has excellent burgers, and the fishing is good. Don't drink the local water, it's contaminated. The other little restaurants I did not find enjoyable. Yes, people smoke in restaurants and bars in Surfside Beach.
If you need supplies, Lake Jackson is less than 15 miles.

I work remotely: Att jetpack was about 15 upload and download speeds with a $20 booster. Verizon mifi was 60 download and 8 to 15 upload. Working all week was fine!

High tide still leave plenty of space even during bad weather so dont be afraid to drive on a beach. Really gorgeous! This may be one of my favorite campsites ever. I could do this for a long time. The ocean is beautiful!

Directions: Make a right onto seagull ave, make a left on beach, drive and look for two wood posts in the middle of the sand and after that starts free camping with no permit. There are three beach access roads and seagull is #1. Beach is a two way road. Hard packed sand but I'd recommend 4 wheel drive. I had to use it to get out of the softer sand where you park.

People living in their cars here. Lock your stuff. Men were creepy as hell to women. A few people have definitely moved in permanently and the parks service that comes by every other day doesn't care.

We boondocked here in February. We had a huge stretch of beach to ourselves. It's so quiet, clean, and calm. Really beautiful sunrises. We followed the directions on the reviews but entered at the #2 entrance. We're glad we missed the first entrance because after the second entrance the crowds really thinned out! I think the entrances go up to 4 or 5 for this beach. The sand is hard packed so really easy to drive on. We parked at a 45 degree angle to the water all the way against the dunes, it was perfect. The closest town with stores open during the winter is about 15-20 miles away. The whole beach is lined with vacation houses that were vacant during our stay, but I'm sure it's very different during the summer. I would definitely recommend camping here for a few days!! This view cannot be beat.

MILES of free beach. Hard packed so no worries to drive on.

What could be better than falling asleep to the sounds of waves outside your window and waking up to a sunrise over the water out your front door. Truly magical!

Internet and TV signal was perfect here so we were able work and watch the super bowl, literally 40 feet from the water line. 😍

This was a great place to spend the night. The crash of the waves lulled us to sleep. The beach was clean. We saw the local police drive by twice during our stay. There are a couple stores within walking distance. The best part of being here in the winter there were only two other campers on the beach. The sand is packed. We saw a large class cruise past us.
