Spring has arrived on the Texas Gulf Coast, and that means one thing for anglers: redfish, speckled trout, and flounder are running in Matagorda Bay. If you’re planning a spring fishing trip to the Magnolia Beach or Indianola area, you need a base camp that’s close to the water, easy on the wallet, and stress-free to book. Magnolia Beach RV Park in Port Lavaca, TX checks every box — and then some.
This guide covers everything you need to know about using Magnolia Beach RV Park as your spring fishing headquarters: what’s biting, where to launch, what’s nearby, and how to lock in your site before the season fills up.
April through June is widely considered the prime window for saltwater fishing along the Coastal Bend. Water temperatures in Matagorda Bay climb into the mid-60s to low 70s, pushing baitfish into the shallows and triggering aggressive feeding behavior from the species anglers come here for.
Texas Parks & Wildlife reports consistently strong catches across the Gulf Coast region this spring, with live shrimp and artificial lures both producing well in the Matagorda Bay system.
Magnolia Beach RV Park sits at 352 Margie Tewmey Rd, Port Lavaca, TX 77979 — just a short bike ride from Magnolia Beach and minutes from some of the best fishing access points on the Texas Gulf Coast. It’s a quiet, no-frills coastal RV park built for people who are here to fish, not to sit by a resort pool.
The park’s contactless operating model is a genuine advantage for anglers. You’re not waiting around for an office to open — you book at Campspot, get your site info, and you’re fishing by dawn.
One of the biggest advantages of Magnolia Beach RV Park is the all-inclusive pricing. Unlike many competitors in the Port Lavaca area that charge electricity separately (adding $50–$100+ per month to your bill), every rate here covers electricity, water, sewer, WiFi, and trash.
| Stay Length | Rate | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | $40/night | All utilities + WiFi + trash |
| Weekly | $175/week | All utilities + WiFi + trash |
| Monthly (Concrete Pad) | $350/month | All utilities + WiFi + trash |
| Monthly (Gravel Pad) | $250/month | All utilities + WiFi + trash |
Note: RVs 10 years or older require exterior photo approval prior to booking. Maximum 2 pets per reservation.

You’re staying in the right zip code. Here are the top fishing access points within easy reach of the park:
The beach itself offers wade fishing access directly into Matagorda Bay. Spring mornings on the flats here can produce excellent speckled trout and redfish action, especially on incoming tides. No boat required — just waders and a rod.
Located just down the road from Magnolia Beach, Indianola Fishing Park is a beloved Calhoun County gem. The park features a fishing pier, boat ramp access, and open shoreline fishing. It’s one of the most productive and accessible spots on the entire Texas Gulf Coast for shore-based anglers. Redfish, trout, drum, and flounder are all regularly caught here.
For those who want to get out on the bay, Indianola Fishing Marina offers boat launch access, live bait, ice, and local knowledge. It’s a full-service stop for anglers heading out into Matagorda Bay or Espiritu Santo Bay.
Matagorda Bay is one of the most productive bay systems on the Texas Gulf Coast. Spring fishing here targets speckled trout on sandy flats and grass edges, redfish along oyster reefs, and flounder near passes and structure. The bay is accessible by kayak, skiff, or larger bay boat.
Powderhorn Lake, adjacent to Powderhorn Ranch (a Texas Parks & Wildlife managed area), offers additional wade fishing and kayak fishing opportunities in a more secluded setting. Black drum and redfish are common catches here.
