Port Aransas Permit Beach Camping

Very long beach, you can stay up to the 3 nights but first you need to buy a permit, we got ours at IGA groceries store, it's 12$/year At beach you have to park behind the wooden posts and perpendicularly to the beach. There are toilets and trash containers everywhere; some beach showers are available at the main entry on E Avenue G. A... more

Hard packed sand so no concern about getting stuck. And, the tide never got even close to wooden posts. Very busy during the day, but cleared out at night. The big negative is that they don't allow parking parallel to the ocean. I got away with it the first night, but the police came by in the morning and told me to park perpendicu... more

Fun beach camping. Trash cans located very 300 feet. Portable toilets located throughout the beach. Enjoyed watching the vessels come into the port. You can use vessellocater.com to see real time information on the vessels.

Nice beach. We Rv camped for 2 nights and had a great time. We were there during spring break. It gets a little noisy until after 2 am. We loved the sun, sand, and water. It was windy!!

A great beach camping spot in Port Aransas, Texas. Cost is $12 for an annual pass if you buy it at the Chamber of Commerce. The sand is packed down so it safe for even the biggest class A. There’s no worries about the tide as long as it’s below 2’ high tide. Close to town seems to have more bigger rigs. Smaller rigs are camping around... more

Great beachfront sites. Very clean. Roar of the waves to relax us. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back again. Dozens of places to park. Garbage and portable toilets but no water.

Excellent clean sand beach. Lots of locals come in at the evening and light up beach fires. They have portables and a rinse station. Gorgeous sunrise and beautiful jetty. We had a blast watching fishermen and fisherwomen surf fish. The water is clear and fresh. Could get crowded but it clears up by 8 or 9 pm. Star gazing is awesome.

Drive on beach was easy with very packed sand. Get your $12 annual permit from Stripes gas station in Port A before coming to beach. Definitely worth spending a couple days right on beach. Beach was a little dirty as we arrived day after Memorial Day and looks like heavy weekend usage. People driving motorized golf carts around on... more

We liked this place. Really would have been better if not here over memorial weekend. It was super crowded and people are just trashy. They leave garbage and tents and easy ups, flip flops and cans etc. we cleaned up the area most of our last day. Be careful of high tides or rain as it’s easy to get stuck.

Beautiful place to stay for three nights. We only stayed two. Take a rake to clean an area from sea weed. You will have an awesome beach front. Stay 5 to 10 feet behind sea weed. The tide does come in while you are asleep. Lol.
