South Texas off-grid camping at its most rugged. No running water, no paved roads, no electricity.... but you get total privacy! Get away from it all and pitch your tent, hang a hammock or boondock your camper van in total seclusion. Approximately 20 acres on a creek to explore with lots of curious wildlife including turkey, deer, and armadillos. Walking trails abound with 2 reservable campsites with firepits, and an unbeatable sunset view overlooking a quiet creek. Contactless check in, unique gate code provided prior to arrival.

Circle Z Camp

1 site · RV10 acres · Runge, TX

There are 9 acres on high ground with a stocked pond(catfish, bluegil, bass). 1 acre on the San Antonio River. Great for kayaking (4 kayaks are available). There is also a golf cart and bikes on property. ATv's are allowed. Great for family get togethers. You can fish, swim, bbq, or hang out around the fire and watch the sun set or star gaze.

Broken Oak River Park

12 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Edna, TX

40 acres – “Big enough to explore, but not too big to get lost!” Hike alongside the meandering Navidad. The 2/3 mile-long developed walking trail offers pristine views and a good opportunity to scout your campsite. Each area features a distinct slice of Texan wilderness, whether you prefer wooded terrain or a lookout over the river. One site features a handmade brick firepit and a perfect spot for stargazing. During the day, you can follow the river to some waterholes and try your luck at catching catfish and perch. Celebrate your success with a picnic under a sprawling oak, keeping an eye out for deer, rabbits, and other playful animals. If exploring is more your style, head into the woods and hunt for Bandit’s Hideaway, a hollow old sycamore with secrets to tell. Depending on the season, you might stumble on wild dewberries or an ancient grove of pecans. At night, grill your family dinner over the firepit (or sneak ‘em back to town for some Tex-Mex!) and then tell ghost stories at the south fence overlooking Enon Cemetary. After a long day, settle in together with the stars and the sounds of nature. They say life’s what you make it, and at the 40, you’ve got everything you need for a little piece of heaven! While the property is largely undeveloped as of now, we plan to add pubic bathrooms, a stocked pond with a swimming area, and much more! Pets allowed. Please be sure to pick up after them.

River, stream, or creek camping near Victoria with campfires guide

Overview

Camp under the starry Texas sky in Victoria, a friendly town on the Guadalupe River. There’s a campsite for every taste—pitch your tent on the plains or book a lakeside RV park. Just 30 miles away, oceanfront campgrounds line the Gulf of Mexico. With the hot Texas summers and mild winters, camping is possible year-round.

If you like your camping with a little luxury, check out the RV resorts near town. Amenities like Wi-Fi and hot showers keep you comfortable after a day in the sun. Near the Athey Nature Area, the city-run Victoria RV park has 18 pull-thru spaces. A few steps away, you can hike, bike, and golf.

Explore 61 miles of shoreline at Coleto Creek Park. Select RV sites with hookups and picnic tables, or go rustic with primitive tent sites. Families love the park for its lighted fishing pier, sandy beaches, and playgrounds.

Craving cool sea breezes? An hour south, Goose Island State Park provides bayfront and forested campsites. Fishing, birdwatching, and boating are popular in the park. Nearby, hike and bike through the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge.

Get ready for the heat from April through October; temperatures stay in the 80s and 90s. Book or arrive early to find shaded campsites. Winters are cooler but pleasant, with the weather in the 60s. A mid-weight jacket is all you need to stay warm around the evening campfire.
