Downtown Port Lavaca comes alive with live music, local food vendors, family activities, and community fun at Iguana Fest.

According to current Lavaca Bay fishing reports, redfish are consistent on mud and grass flats and speckled trout are extremely active on shell reefs. Flounder are also beginning to show. The Indianola Fishing Marina and Indianola Fishing Park are just a short drive from the park and offer excellent access to some of the best inshore fishing on the Texas coast.
Magnolia Beach RV Park is a quiet, value-focused coastal RV park located at 352 Margie Tewmey Rd, Port Lavaca, TX 77979. With 16 full-hookup sites, all utilities included, and a location just a short bike ride from Magnolia Beach, it’s the kind of no-frills, no-surprises park that serious RV travelers love.
This is not a resort with a pool and a clubhouse — it’s a clean, well-managed, contactless park where you can settle in, enjoy the coast, and not worry about surprise utility bills at the end of the month.

The waters around Port Lavaca, Lavaca Bay, and Matagorda Bay are producing excellent catches right now. Here’s what anglers staying at Magnolia Beach RV Park can expect this spring:
Trout are extremely active on shell reefs throughout Lavaca Bay. Spring is one of the best times of year to target trophy trout as water temperatures warm and fish move into shallower feeding zones. Early morning topwater action can be spectacular.
Redfish are showing consistent action on mud flats and grass beds. As spring progresses, look for tailing reds in shallow water — one of the most exciting sight-fishing experiences in Texas inshore fishing. Both species become highly active as they prepare for spawning season.
Flounder are beginning to appear in the bays and along the beachfront. Spring gigging and rod-and-reel flounder fishing picks up significantly through April and May.
The park’s namesake beach is just a short bike ride away. Magnolia Beach is a quiet, natural Gulf Coast beach — no crowds, no commercialization, just sand, water, and coastal beauty. It’s perfect for morning walks, shell collecting, swimming, and watching spectacular sunsets over the bay.
Just down the road from Magnolia Beach, the ghost town of Indianola offers a fascinating piece of Texas history. Once a major port city, Indianola was destroyed by back-to-back hurricanes in the 1870s–1880s. Today, visitors can explore historical markers, the Indianola Fishing Park, and the iconic lighthouse replica.
The Calhoun County coastline sits directly on the Central Flyway, one of North America’s major migratory bird routes. Spring migration (March–May) brings hundreds of species through the area, including warblers, shorebirds, raptors, and waterfowl. The Texas Mid-Coast Birding Festival (April 9–12) is the perfect organized introduction to birding this remarkable region.
The calm, protected waters of Lavaca Bay and the surrounding estuaries are ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding. Spring conditions — mild temperatures, manageable winds, and clear water — make this one of the best seasons for paddling the Texas coast.
Port Lavaca has a solid selection of local restaurants and seafood spots. From fresh Gulf shrimp and oysters to Tex-Mex and BBQ, the local food scene reflects the coastal culture of the area. A gas station with food and grocery items is conveniently located near the park for quick supplies.
Magnolia Beach RV Park serves a diverse mix of guests, all drawn by the combination of coastal access, value pricing, and a quiet, well-managed environment:
Magnolia Beach RV Park operates on a contactless model, making booking and check-in simple and straightforward. Sites are available for nightly, weekly, and monthly stays.
