Winnie Stowell Park

Plusieurs sites avec eau et électricité et quelques uns avec égout. Avant de vous installer vérifiez si la prise électrique fonctionne car plusieurs sont hors service. Lors de notre passage le sol était très mouillé et mou dû à une récente inondation. Épicerie et facilités à proximité de marche. Attention si vous avez un animal gardez le sous surveillance. Certains citadins laissent leur chien sans laisse et un pitbull est venu attaqué le chien de notre voisin qui était attaché sur son emplacement. Svp respectez le maximum de 3 jours autorisés. La ville coupe eau et électricité lorsqu'elle note que certain demeurent longtemps sur place. Idéalement téléphoner pour annoncer votre venue.

Several sites with water and electricity and some with sewer. Before you install check if the electrical outlet is working because many are out of order. During our passage the soil was very wet and soft due to a recent flood. Grocery store and facilities within walking distance. Beware if you have an animal keep it under surveillance. Some townspeople leave their dog without leash and a pitbull came attacking our neighbor's dog who was tied to his location. Please respect the maximum of 3 days allowed. The city cuts water and electricity when it notes that some remain long on the spot. Ideally call to announce youre coming."

I needed a quick and easy place to stop before dark and near a grocery and supplies. It was perfect for that. Nothing is marked and took me a while to figure out where to park. Basically anywhere off the road is okay. There are many hookups but you aren't allowed to use them. Looks like they are for booth merchants during festivals as it is a fairground. There are quite a few free places in Anahuac, Fort Anahuac Park being particularly nice if you want to fish or birdwatch. That's where I went on my drive back through.

Stayed here on a Saturday night on the way to San Antonio. You do need to call ahead or grab a permit. It was the weekend so I could not grab a permit but I had called 409-267-2644 a few days in advance. The lady on the phone was super nice, took info on my RV and car including license plate, and said I was more than welcome, show up any time. I arrived at dusk and set up behind the bleachers. There is a open bathroom that’s decent. There are a lot of visitors! On foot, skateboards, and cars. A lot visit the bathroom, looks to be run down vehicles or possibly people that live out of their cars. No issues though, everyone kept their distance. Lots of grassy space if you have dogs!

There are LOTS of spaces here. Mostly on grass. Good drinking water. No electricity. FREE DUMP AT EVERY SITE!
You do need to let them copy your ID at 211 Broadway St. Winnie, TX 77665
Continue on Broadway, about fifty feet, turn r on 2nd ave. Go to nearly the end. Open field on the left, with gravel road. Camping is On the gravel road. Some fulltime campers. Dumpster, not barrels.
Clean. No attendant on site.
Four bars of t mobile
Stores etc within a short driving distance.
There are electrical boxes, but they do not work.

This was a great stop after the weary drive through 10 LA. We called ahead and gave our vehicle info and length of stay. She said up to three nights, free, no hook-ups. There was one other 5th wheel all the way across park. Mostly paved, gravel with some inactive RV sites (for their county events).

We parked in the back of large parking lot off E. Park Ave. Signs for park are small, low-to ground, wood signs. You can enter from S. Park or E. La Blanc.

Dannay’s Donuts has great kolaches, apple fritters right around the corner, coffee and other breakfast items.

I called the phone number listed and the woman was very helpful. She let us know we could stay for free for three nights. We are staying just one on our way back to Arizona. We parked by the grandstands on the side of the parking lot. It was a little hard to see as we pulled in after 9 pm in a downpour. Perfect stop and thank you to the county for allowing visitors to stop!

For a quick safe overnight boondocking spot, this is a good stop off point. We were heading down to the Bolivar Peninsula to take the ferry over to Galveston TX and this park is right on the way. Had we been willing to brave the Houston traffic, this still would have been a great spot as it is just a few miles from I-10. We chose to park in the far corner of the large asphalt parking lot along the gravel road as we are totally self-contained and didn't want the trees to shade the solar or the satellite dish. Opps, forgot to check the cell coverage, but we had decent cell coverage on T-Mobil and good data on both Verizon as well as At&t.

I called the number listed and the woman at the county office was very friendly and took my name so the sheriff would know I'd be camping. It looks like there are a couple of options for places to camp, one with more trees and grass near the playground but closer to the road and a large asphalt area near the stables with a walking path behind it. I chose the asphalt area to be further from the road. There was a nice couple in a class B+ camped there when I arrived. I chose to line myself up against the stables, as it was a bit more level over there. Fun to watch people ride their horses out my window. Lots of good amenities within a 5 min walk including a supermarket, liquor store and a few restaurants. The only issue was that, on the Saturday night I stayed, there were a lot of locals cruising the nearby streets and bumping loud bass until around midnight or so. A couple times locals drove into the area we were camped in and hung out for a while with music bumping, which was a little unpleasant. That said, it felt safe and the county is quite nice for letting travelers rest here for free. I'd return if I needed a stop in this area but wouldn't go out of my way to come here.
