Fishing & Area
Deep water fish and barrier island views
Spend some time fishing for deep water fish like sailfish, marlin, tuna, dolphin, and wahoo, or for red snapper, king, ling, and jack fish. You can arrange to ship out on a fishing charter, take a boating trip across the bay, or just spend some time swimming in our warm southern waters.
Fishing In Port O'Connor
Bay and offshore
Fish the bays, run the Gulf, clean it at camp
Port O'Connor is a fishing town first. The bays hold redfish, trout, and flounder, the jetties and the Gulf beyond them hold snapper and more, and the park is set up so the work is done before you are back at the site.
Bring the boat. Super sites are sized for the camper, the boat, and the truck together, and the public ramps are a few minutes away.

Redfish off the jetties, a catfish out of the park pond, and a cleaning table that stays busy. All of it shot by the folks who stay here.
Nearby
Matagorda Island & the beach
Bird watchers will love touring through the Matagorda Island Wildlife Management Area, a great spot for wildlife viewing and enjoying the views of the barrier islands. Look for species like the Red-necked Grebe and Swainson's Warbler.

Getting Here
From Hwy 185
Coming into town on Hwy 185, turn left on Byers Drive, then right on Harrison Avenue. The park is on the left, with a large sign posted at the entrance.
Winter Texans
A season-long home on the coast
Fishermen, families, and winter Texans settle in for long-term stays and find a community waiting, from the clubhouse potlucks to familiar faces at the pond. Doug and Mary Jo are on the property every day, so the park runs like a neighborhood, not a lot.
Monthly stays
Weekly and monthly rates with electric billed separately.
Potluck dinners
Themed dinners at the clubhouse through the season.
Propane on site
No town run to refill the bottles in January.
Owners on site
Doug and Mary Jo answer the phone and stop by the sites.
“We had a great 3 week stay at Beacon 44 RV. The owners, Mary Jo and her husband, Doug, were so friendly and stopped by several times to check in.”
