If you’re planning a summer fishing trip to the Texas Gulf Coast, you already know that where you stay matters just as much as where you fish. Matagorda Bay and the surrounding waters near Port Lavaca are producing some of the best redfish, speckled trout, and flounder action on the entire Texas coast right now — and Magnolia Beach RV Park puts you right in the middle of it all.
Located at 352 Margie Tewmey Rd, Port Lavaca, TX 77979, Magnolia Beach RV Park is a quiet, no-frills coastal RV park designed for anglers, beach lovers, and anyone who wants to be close to the water without paying resort prices. With summer fishing season in full swing and Memorial Day weekend approaching, now is the perfect time to lock in your spot.
The waters around Magnolia Beach and Matagorda Bay are legendary among Texas inshore anglers. Here’s what draws fishermen back year after year:
Whether you’re wading the flats at sunrise, launching a kayak from the beach, or running a bay boat out of a nearby marina, Magnolia Beach puts you within minutes of world-class inshore fishing.
Magnolia Beach RV Park isn’t a resort — and that’s exactly the point. It’s a clean, quiet, well-managed coastal RV park built for people who are here to fish, relax, and enjoy the coast. No crowds, no noise, no distractions.
The park is located just a short bike ride from Magnolia Beach — one of the most accessible and beloved stretches of Texas Gulf Coast shoreline. You can walk the beach, wade fish the flats, launch a kayak, or simply watch the sunrise over Matagorda Bay. A nearby gas station with food and grocery options means you can grab bait, snacks, and supplies without driving far.
Staying at Magnolia Beach RV Park gives you easy access to some of the best fishing locations on the Texas Coastal Bend:
The beach itself is a productive wade fishing spot, especially during early morning and evening hours. Speckled trout and redfish cruise the shoreline regularly during summer months. No boat required — just wade out and work the flats.
Located just down the road, Indianola Fishing Marina offers a full-service boat launch, live bait, ice, kayak rentals, and a covered fishing deck. It’s one of the most popular access points for Matagorda Bay and the surrounding waters. Fish under the lights at night for trout and flounder.
Matagorda Bay is one of Texas’s most productive inshore fisheries. The bay system includes Matagorda Bay, San Antonio Bay, and Espiritu Santo Bay — all within reach of Port Lavaca. Shell reefs, grass flats, and deep channels provide habitat for virtually every inshore species.
Powderhorn Lake, just west of Port Lavaca, is a shallow, productive fishery known for redfish and trout. The lake connects to Matagorda Bay and offers excellent kayak and wade fishing opportunities in a more sheltered environment.
The lighted fishing pier at Lighthouse Beach Park in Port Lavaca is a local favorite for evening and night fishing. Free to access, it’s a great option when you want to fish without launching a boat.
