Happy Camp RV Park

With all the buzz of the city life about, a beach day might be just what you need in between. Handily, Bryan Beach (20 minutes’ drive) has just the three-mile stretch of sand for laying back, fishing or birdwatching. Further along the coast, you might want to comb through the beach park at Surfside Jetty County Park (25 minutes) in search of shells or move onto the nearby Seahorse beach (45 minutes), near to a kayak launch that's well-situated for a paddle around Christmas Bay. If you’re looking to have a nosy into the local wildlife too, Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge (15 minutes) is to the east, and with 43,000 acres across the refuge, you’ll be in a prime spot to spot wildlife and birdlife. Those of you looking to face off with crocodiles instead will find these sharp-toothed beasts at Crocodile Encounter (15 minutes) – options include feeding the giant tortoises, stroking snakes or coming face-to-face with the big Nile crocodile. Into the big city… Houston (45 minutes) has plenty to do, whether it’s a stroll around the city parks, the zoo, a space centre or chucking a few back in a beer garden. Closer by, there’s the Stephen F. Austin statue in Angleton (five minutes) or the Brazoria County Historical Museum (five minutes).
