Calhoun County is going all out for America’s 250th birthday this year. Here’s what’s on the calendar right in your backyard when you stay at Magnolia Beach RV Park:
All of these events are just a short drive from the park — making Magnolia Beach RV Park the ideal staging ground for a full holiday weekend on the Texas coast.
Holiday weekends fill up fast on the Texas coast. Here’s why savvy RV travelers choose Magnolia Beach RV Park over the alternatives:
Unlike most RV parks in the Port Lavaca area that charge electricity separately (adding $50–$100+ to your monthly bill), Magnolia Beach RV Park bundles everything into one flat rate:
Run your AC all weekend. Stream the fireworks playlist. No meter anxiety. It’s all included.
Most of the 16 full-hookup sites feature concrete pads — a real advantage during summer when Texas heat and rain can turn gravel or dirt sites into a muddy mess. Pull in, level up, and relax.
Magnolia Beach is just a short bike ride from the park. Spend your July 4th morning on the sand, catch the sunrise over Matagorda Bay, and be back at your rig in time for coffee before the day’s festivities begin.
Quiet hours are enforced. This isn’t a party-all-night campground — it’s a well-managed, contactless RV park where you can actually sleep after the fireworks. 24/7 video surveillance keeps the property secure.
Bringing the dogs for the holiday weekend? Magnolia Beach RV Park has a large open dog area where your pups can stretch their legs. Up to 2 pets per reservation welcome.
