Padre Island in an RV
The longest undeveloped barrier island in the world, where you can camp on the sand itself. Most people give it 3 days.
When to goOctober through April. Summer brings heat and seaweed.
What fitsUp to 35 feet. Access matters more than space here. A van gets where the big ones cannot.
What catches people outBeach driving south of the five mile marker needs real clearance. Malaquite is the paved option.
Where you would actually stay
Picked for the trip rather than a list somebody was paid to be on. Anything with a link books direct with them, and we will do it for you if you would rather not spend the evening on hold.
