Memorial Day weekend is almost here, and that means one thing for Texas anglers: it’s time to load up the rig and head to the coast. Matagorda Bay, Lavaca Bay, and the waters surrounding Magnolia Beach and Indianola are firing up for one of the best fishing seasons in years — and Magnolia Beach RV Park puts you right in the middle of all of it.
Whether you’re chasing redfish and speckled trout for a long weekend, planning a week-long fishing trip, or looking for a quiet coastal base camp for the entire summer, this guide covers everything you need to know — including how our rates stack up against other RV parks in Port Lavaca, TX.
Late May through early fall is prime time on the Texas Gulf Coast. Speckled trout, redfish, flounder, and black drum are all active in the shallow flats and bay systems surrounding Port Lavaca. Add in the Formosa Hook & Cook for Charity Fishing Tournament happening right here in Port Lavaca in 2026, and the Ladies Powder Puff Fishing Tournament (June 12–13 at Fisherman’s Wharf), and you’ve got a full season of angling action within minutes of your campsite.
Here’s why anglers keep coming back to Magnolia Beach RV Park as their home base:

When you’re running air conditioning during a Texas summer fishing trip, electricity costs add up fast. A typical RV running AC can use $80–$150/month in electricity during summer months. That means a park advertising “$395/month” can easily become $475–$545/month in real cost — putting Magnolia Beach RV Park’s $350/month all-in rate at a significant advantage.
For weekly fishing trips, the math is even clearer: our $175/week rate with all utilities included beats most competitors who charge $225+ before adding electricity.
Just a short bike ride from the park, Magnolia Beach is one of the most unique beaches on the Texas Gulf Coast — a natural shell beach where you can fish from shore, crab in the shallows, or simply watch the sunrise over Lavaca Bay. No crowds, no admission fees, just pure coastal Texas.
Located at the mouth of Powderhorn Bayou, Indianola Fishing Marina is a full-service angler’s paradise. Pick up live bait, launch your boat, grab a cold beer, and fish under the lights for speckled trout and redfish. The covered deck with ceiling fans makes it a great spot even on hot summer evenings.
The Indianola Fishing Park offers free public pier access to Matagorda Bay — ideal for shore anglers targeting flounder, black drum, and sheepshead. It’s also a stunning sunset spot with views of the historic Indianola lighthouse ruins.
Serious wade fishermen know Powderhorn Lake as one of the most productive shallow-water fisheries on the middle Texas coast. Trout and redfish stack up in the grass flats, and the bayou channels hold fish year-round.
The broad, shallow waters of Lavaca Bay offer excellent bay fishing for speckled trout, redfish, and flounder. Multiple public boat ramps provide easy access, and the bay’s protected waters make it ideal for kayak fishing.
Staying at Magnolia Beach RV Park puts you within minutes of all these events. Book early — tournament weekends fill up fast.
Memorial Day weekend (May 23–26, 2026) is one of the busiest weekends on the Texas coast. Here’s how to make the most of it from Magnolia Beach RV Park:
Check in contactlessly — no need to coordinate with a manager. Get your rig set up, connect to utilities, and take an evening ride to Magnolia Beach to scout the shoreline and watch the sunset.
Hit Indianola Fishing Marina at first light for live bait and a boat launch. The early morning bite on Matagorda Bay is legendary during late May — trout and redfish are actively feeding in the shallows before the heat sets in.
Spend the morning wading the Powderhorn Lake flats, then cool off back at the park. The large open dog area is perfect if you’ve brought your fishing buddy (the four-legged kind).
One last morning at Magnolia Beach for shore fishing and crabbing before heading home with a cooler full of fresh Gulf Coast seafood.
Many of our guests aren’t just weekend warriors — they’re serious anglers who set up camp for weeks or months at a time. At $350/month with all utilities included, Magnolia Beach RV Park is one of the most affordable ways to spend an entire fishing season on the Texas coast.
