If you’re planning a summer fishing trip to the Texas Coastal Bend, you already know that location is everything. You want to wake up close to the water, launch your boat without a long drive, and come back to a clean, quiet site where you can clean your catch and relax. That’s exactly what Magnolia Beach RV Park in Port Lavaca, Texas delivers — and at a price that leaves more money in your pocket for bait, fuel, and cold drinks.
July is peak season on Matagorda Bay. Redfish are running the flats, speckled trout are stacking up near the grass beds, and flounder are moving through the passes. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a serious angler planning a multi-week stay, this guide covers everything you need to know about using Magnolia Beach RV Park as your summer 2026 fishing base camp.
Magnolia Beach sits on the western shore of Matagorda Bay, one of the most productive inshore fisheries on the entire Texas Gulf Coast. The bay system stretches across Calhoun County and connects to the Intracoastal Waterway, offering anglers access to a wide variety of species and fishing environments — from shallow grass flats to deep channel edges.
Magnolia Beach RV Park is a quiet, no-frills coastal RV park designed for people who are actually here to fish, explore, and enjoy the coast — not sit by a resort pool. With 16 full hookup sites, the park stays small and peaceful, which is exactly what serious anglers want after a long day on the water.
One of the biggest advantages of Magnolia Beach RV Park is transparent, all-inclusive pricing. When you see the rate, that’s what you pay. No electricity surcharges, no water fees, no WiFi add-ons.
| Stay Length | Rate | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Nightly | $40/night | Electric, water, sewer, WiFi, trash |
| Weekly | $175/week | Electric, water, sewer, WiFi, trash |
| Monthly | $350/month (concrete pad) | Electric, water, sewer, WiFi, trash |
Rates are for summer season. All utilities included. Book online at Campspot or call (409) 207-8337.
💡 Angler’s Tip: Booking a weekly or monthly stay dramatically reduces your per-night cost and locks in your site for the full summer fishing season. At $175/week, you’re paying just $25/night — all utilities included. That’s hard to beat anywhere on the Texas coast.
Port Lavaca has several RV parks to choose from, and each has its own strengths. Here’s an honest look at how Magnolia Beach RV Park stacks up for summer fishing stays:
