The 4th of July week on the Texas Gulf Coast is something special. Redfish are stacked on the flats, speckled trout are biting at dawn, and Port Lavaca is gearing up for its 9th Annual Star Spangled Bay Bash on July 3rd and a full America’s 250th Birthday celebration on July 4th at Bayfront Peninsula Park. If you’re looking for the perfect home base to fish, celebrate, and soak up the coastal Texas summer — Magnolia Beach RV Park puts you right in the middle of all of it.
Located just minutes from Magnolia Beach and a short drive from Indianola, this quiet, full-hookup RV park on the Coastal Bend offers everything a summer angler or coastal traveler needs — without the resort price tag.
Late June through August is peak season on Lavaca Bay and the surrounding Coastal Bend waters. Here’s what makes a summer stay at Magnolia Beach RV Park so compelling:
