Memorial Day weekend is here, and that means one thing for Texas RV travelers: it’s officially summer on the Gulf Coast. If you’ve been searching for affordable coastal RV parks in Texas with real beach access, full hookups, and all utilities included, your search ends at Magnolia Beach RV Park in Port Lavaca, TX.
Whether you’re planning a long weekend escape, a month-long summer stay, or you’re a road-tripper working your way down the Texas coast, this guide covers everything you need to know about spending summer at one of the most underrated coastal destinations in the Lone Star State.
Tucked along the shores of Lavaca Bay on the Texas Coastal Bend, Magnolia Beach is a quiet, no-frills stretch of coastline that locals have treasured for generations — and that RV travelers are discovering in growing numbers. Unlike the crowded resort towns further south, Magnolia Beach offers something increasingly rare: genuine coastal peace.
Here’s what makes this area special for summer RV travel:
Magnolia Beach RV Park is a contactless, full-hookup RV park located at 352 Margie Tewmey Rd, Port Lavaca, TX 77979. With 16 full-hookup sites, concrete and non-concrete pads, and a quiet, well-maintained atmosphere, it’s built for travelers who want comfort without the resort price tag.
One of the biggest advantages of staying at Magnolia Beach RV Park is the all-inclusive pricing model. Unlike many Texas coastal RV parks that charge separately for electricity (a major cost in summer when your AC runs constantly), every site here includes:
Note: RVs 10 years or older require exterior photo approval prior to booking. Maximum 2 pets per reservation.
The park offers back-in RV spaces with both concrete pads and non-concrete options, suitable for all RV types including travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes. Sites are comfortably spaced, and the park enforces quiet hours to maintain the peaceful coastal atmosphere guests come for.

💡 Pro Tip: At $350/month all-inclusive on a concrete pad, Magnolia Beach RV Park is one of the most competitively priced full-hookup coastal RV parks in Texas — especially when you factor in that electricity is included during peak summer AC season.
Magnolia Beach is just about a mile from the RV park — an easy bike ride or short drive. This free public beach on Lavaca Bay is perfect for swimming, wading, shell collecting, and watching spectacular Gulf Coast sunsets. Unlike many Texas beaches, it’s rarely overcrowded, making it ideal for families and anyone who wants a relaxed beach day without the chaos.
Summer is prime time for fishing along the Coastal Bend. The waters around Port Lavaca and Lavaca Bay are renowned for:
The Indianola Fishing Park is a popular nearby spot with a lighted pier, making it great for evening and night fishing. The King Fisher Pier in Port Lavaca is another local favorite — and was the site of the Memorial Day Weekend Kids Fishing Tournament (May 23, 2026), a beloved annual community event.
Just a short drive from the RV park, the historic site of Indianola is one of Texas’s most fascinating ghost towns. Once the second-largest port in Texas, Indianola was destroyed by back-to-back hurricanes in 1875 and 1886. Today, visitors can explore the historical markers, the Indianola Fishing Park, and the haunting beauty of a coastline that swallowed an entire city. It’s a must-visit for history buffs and curious travelers alike.
Lavaca Bay and the surrounding waters offer excellent opportunities for kayaking, paddleboarding, and boating. Several boat ramps are accessible in the area, and the calm bay waters are ideal for beginners and experienced boaters alike.
The Texas Coastal Bend is part of the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail, and the wetlands surrounding Magnolia Beach RV Park are home to egrets, herons, roseate spoonbills, and dozens of other coastal bird species. Summer brings active nesting season, making it a spectacular time for wildlife observation right from your campsite.
Port Lavaca has a solid selection of local dining options, and a convenient gas station with food and grocery options is located near the RV park for quick supply runs. The Port Lavaca area offers everything from fresh Gulf seafood to classic Texas BBQ — perfect for fueling up between beach days and fishing trips.
Magnolia Beach RV Park is located at 352 Margie Tewmey Rd, Port Lavaca, TX 77979, along State Highway 1280. The park is easily accessible for all RV types and sizes.
