Port Aransas, TX

I've heard that it cost little to no money for beach camping in this area. Has anyone stayed? I've visited once and it was pretty dope.

There's a reason it's free, lol. There's still some alright fishing around and if you can find some sort of transport on water you can camp out in unoccupied fishing shacks on the intercoastal

I'm curious, what's some of the issues with the beach camping? It looked pretty decent when I visited, but it was only 1 day, which isn't a lot of time to get a full assessment.

Thanks for the fishing shack info.

nothing wrong with the beach camping there, it's just that Texas beaches suck and are kind of gross (outside of padre). I've spent maybe 8 days ever in port A, but I've spent quite a lot of time around Port Lavaca and the locals there are definitely the type to fuck with dirty kids

Lol, you're right about that. It is a pretty pretty funky beach, but I've seen worse (Biloxi comes to mind). I did see a few crusties camping out in Port Aransas without issue, but I know there are areas that frown upon that kind of lifestyle.
