“Great stay”
Reviewed Jan 21, 2019
We had seen reviews and watched a lot of YouTube videos on Magnolia Beach but was not sure if it would live up to expectations. We have had a very relaxing and nice stay here. The beach is clean, people have been very nice and it has not been crowded. The best part is that it is free camping. There are no hookups but they do have a cle... more

“The best things in life aren’t things, or free!”
Reviewed Jan 13, 2019
The posted pictures cropped out the crap. Like the refinery the ship was headed to, or the abandoned shacks, or the travelers vehicles/homes that are certain to become abandoned soon, or the overflowing garbage cans, or the excrement on flush toilets without seats.

“Crowded but not bad”
Reviewed Jan 08, 2019
Seems to be the place everyone knows about. EVERYONE. The beach is crumbles shell almost like broken glass. Hard packed but not barefoot friendly. Our closest neighbor used a generator. I think so did the next guy. It’s fine for a pinch but the cell service was slow on top of the crowd. It just didn’t work for us.

Great FREE dry-camping on the Matagorda Bay, a large Gulf of Mexico estuary bay on the Texas coast. Nice stretch of drivable packed surface beach just south of Port Lavaca. Showers available, but we didn't investigate. Several motorhomes and travel trailers the 3 days/2nights we stayed. Bring what you will need as there's no shoppi... more

Nothing better than waking up to ocean front views 10 feet away. Great ocean breezes. Spacious. Lots of campsites. All primitive. Picnic tables at some w bbq grills. Be cautious of soft sand after beach “renourishment”. Totally worth the drive. Only one oil rig in site of our location, with no noise. Big rigs ok. ATT and Verizon ok. Ab... more

“Danger of flooding well above high tide line”

There were around 30 of us RVers on the beach on a Friday night. My wife and I went to sleep and woke up at 2:30 am to 75MPH cat 1 hurricane level winds. We quickly got up to put the generators inside, and within 5 minutes the gulf waters were high enough to move our trailer off its leveling blocks as the sand washed away. The trailer ... more

We arrived March 5th, 2018 and it overall it was an amazing stay. We were told the weekend would be busier as it was the start of Spring Break and we did experience some "disregard of personal space" from a couple of locals as well as one really disrespectful couple who showed up late on Saturday, set up bright light, a noisy generator... more

We boondocked here for 7 days in February 2018. Our RV was parked 15' from the water! Very nice clean beach. Bathrooms and showers available. When we were there only one of four showers were unlocked and the one that was open looked well used but not horrible. The area was hit directly by Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and still showed some ... more
