RV Camping at Follett's Island on the Gulf Coast Near Freeport, Texas

Surfside Beach, about 40 miles southwest of Galveston, Texas, is the largest developed area on Follett’s Island, a long, narrow strip of land bordered by the Gulf of Mexico and Christmas Bay. Palm trees sprout along sandy beaches where anglers surf-cast and sunbathers laze. The island has a handful of RV parks where big rigs reign.

    • The RV park at The Breeze, a property with a hotel and condos in addition to a campground, is a short walk from the Gulf of Mexico beach. Concrete pads, large enough for the biggest self-contained RV, have full hookups including cable, 30- and 50-amp service, sewer, water and Wi-Fi. Sites, some pull-throughs, are separated by a strip of grass. The Breeze is open year round, with reduced rates from October through February, and accepts monthly rentals in the off season. The proprietors recommend reserving the single beachfront RV site well in advance.
