At first glance, Magnolia Beach RV Park isn’t the cheapest option on the list — but when you factor in what’s included, the value picture changes significantly.
Every site at Magnolia Beach RV Park includes electricity (50/30/20 amp), water, sewer, WiFi, and trash service — all bundled into the rate. Compare that to parks like Powderhorn ($450/mo + electricity), Bay View ($395/mo + electricity), or Texas Lakeside ($550–$685/mo + electricity), and Magnolia Beach’s $350/month all-in rate becomes one of the most competitive true costs in the area.
For a summer fishing stay or extended coastal visit, knowing your monthly cost upfront — with no electric meter surprises — is a real advantage.
Magnolia Beach RV Park offers 16 full hookup sites with mostly concrete pads, comfortable site spacing, and compatibility with travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes of all sizes. The 50/30/20 amp power pedestals handle everything from small campers to large Class A rigs.
The park’s location on Margie Tewmey Rd puts you within easy biking distance of Magnolia Beach — the only natural shell beach on the Texas coast. Spend your mornings fishing the pier, afternoons shelling on the beach, and evenings back at your rig without a long drive.
Magnolia Beach RV Park enforces quiet hours and operates as a contactless, low-drama coastal park. No loud resort atmosphere, no crowded amenity buildings — just a peaceful place to park your rig, fish hard, and sleep well. The large open dog area is a bonus for traveling pet owners (max 2 pets per reservation).
Security matters when you’re leaving expensive fishing gear and equipment in your rig. Magnolia Beach RV Park maintains 24/7 video surveillance throughout the property — a feature not all smaller parks in the area offer.
July and August are peak season on the Texas coast — and Port Lavaca delivers a packed calendar of events and fishing action:
Magnolia Beach RV Park operates on a contactless booking model — easy to reserve online, no check-in hassle.
