Absolutely the best beach bar none Wild and wooly natural and free Just like beaches of yonder!drive to get here and definitely stop in when near! read more

I didn't check out the restrooms but we went to the drive-on part of Quintana Beach. It's convenient to be able to park on the beach and hang out with easy access to your car and all your gear. However, compared to Surfside Beach, it seemed to have more trash on and next to the sand, and the sand was hard packed - maybe good for running, sunning yourself, playing games, but not ideal for kids who want to play with the sand and make sand castles for example. read more

Enjoyed the waves and looking for unique shells at this beach. Unfortunately there's a lot of trash. read more

I think I have a new favorite beach for a family day at the water. I love that this beach isn't too crowded, the parking lot is right next to the boardwalk, the facilities are well maintained, and there isn't a ton of traffic getting there either. Bonus - the drive along 288 near Lake Jackson is beautiful. The only downside is most of the area neighboring the town of Quintana is industrial and shipping, which doesn't doesn't do much for the shore-side view. But no one goes to the beach to look at the land, LOL! Overall, it's a gem and I suspect a new family favorite for us. We will definitely be back. read more

Starting off with BEWARE of mosquitoes- all the other reviews start off with the good but THiS is important! Family OFF or non scented will not work on these guys! They are vicious! You need DEEP WOODS off and we still have bites! If you leave the beach re-apply before walking to the RV Park because you will be attacked! We couldn't even enjoy being outside at most times of the day!!!! Second- the cockle burs are horrible. You can't walk without shoes. Pets are allowed but poor things have to get in grass and it's a nightmare too! The Park Host was super nice and polite - However the other lady that seems to run the park seems a little over the top. I get that people try to take advantage of the park to use the beach but she seriously stopped and accused me of going into the men's bathroom when I was standing in between the two trying to figure out how my husband was gonna get me the soap all while being eaten alive by mosquitoes. It's like she just wants to harass people for no reason. You can't have more than one car at each RV spot, we didn't but some friends from another campsite stopped by for a few min with their baby ( prob trying to avoid being eaten) and she harassed them too. It's almost like she harassed even the people who paid to be there. Again- a lil over the top. I would have loved to make this place one of my favorites but the mosquitoes- cockle burs and crazy lady will deter me from ever returning! Maybe if they focused on mosquito control and good grass it would be tolerable to put up with her but we were miserable with the bugs! Camping is about being able to get out and enjoy the outside and company and we felt TRAPPED in our camper unless we were at the beach. This is a RV Park Is nice. The Grounds are clean, & playgrounds are nice. Beach is nice but quite a walk from RV Park. Bring a wagon for sure. Beach could use a little clean up from debris. Found quite a bit of glass in the ocean so be careful even though no glass is allowed. I really wanted to love this place. It had so much potential. read more

You are supposed to review the place, not all the stuff around it which doesn't even belong to the park. This place is very nice and always clean. Tons of room for families to play and enjoy the outdoors. They are made this place so enjoyable. Nice clean bathrooms with showers, laundry mat, event hall, rental cabins, playground and bbq pits. This is a real Rv park, not a 2017 rv park with Wifi. People are afraid to enjoy themselves without social media and television. I think y'all are doing a great job and offer such a wonderful place to spend time at!! read more

Had such a wonderful time! Tried to stay in Galveston campgrounds but they were full, and I'm glad because we found this place. Loved the campground and how much space you had. Facilities (bathrooms, showers, laundry, playground, etc) were great. Even though you can't see the beach you are a short walk, and can hear the waves from your campsite. Fishing pier was an added bonus. Yes there are bugs but that's part of camping, bring bug spray. Will defiantly be back. read more

Quintana Beach County Park - Beach pic - Parks Near Me - Quintana, Texas

Nice people answering the phones and setting you up for the park. The beach access from the park is some of the best in Surfside. I recommend it for both camping and day trips. read more

Nice Rv park all sites have full hookups & are $30 for brazoria county residents. $2 more for out of county residents. We thought the beach was much cleaner than Matagorda beach. Outdoor showers & boardwalk to the beach. We were worried about mosquitoes but they came out only after dark & were gone in the morning. read more

Nope! We will NEVER waste our time or money booking this place again. Every single time we have gone here something has gone wrong. We tried to look past it because stuff happens but never again. We made reservations in December and showed up (after paying in full) and the office was closed for lunch. So we went to our site and set up. One of the roads were closed so we went up the other side, like the sign said to do. Some of the concrete was new and of course our site was one of them. So we ended up backing in. Took time to set everything up and then headed up to the office. We walked in to check in and she handed us a map with another spot highlighted. I told her that wasn't our spot. She said they emailed us (Yes, emailed us) to change our spot number. I have gotten every email from them but nothing that said they were moving our spot. Our camper is big so we pick certain spots that we know it will work in. She of course she was rude about it. I asked for a refund and she said ok but not the first night. Not ok! This was in no way our fault. Avoid this place!!! They don't even have working restrooms or laundry room! And they don't let people know that before they go. We had friends go months ago and they needed the restroom and laundry room and never were told about it. There were no signs saying that any sites were closed! The site they were trying to move us to holds water when it rains. So we left and will NEVER go back! read more

I gave up looking for blue water when it comes to looking for beaches out here but one thing that I never get tired of is grilling and sand. This was my first time coming to the Quintana Beach and I must say that I prefer this beach over Galveston and Surfside. The only thing that I didn't like was that I couldn't park on the beach but there is a parking lot available. This is definitely a family oriented beach. There were kids all over the beach and the grilling area. The beach is pet friendly just make sure to leash your dog. Please have all that you need when you get out here. The closest store is about fifteen minutes away. The park itself seems to be very clean and organized. It has bathrooms and showers, playgrounds, barbecue pits, and a volley ball area. read more

After they took our money to enter , we discovered it was not a "pet friendly " Quintana Beach Brazoria County park. The manager of the park Patty Brismar was disrespectful , rude. She saw that my sister's German Shepherd dogs were swimming, barking and having a good time, she decided to come to us and say she had numerous complaints all day in regards to the dogs being off leash and barking. We were only there for 30-45 minutes at most. The county park was not too crowded. The families that were there were spread out along the beach. We were basically minding our own business until she approached us and went on to tell us that she knew better than my brother in law the way his dogs should be behaving and acting at the beach. She was extremely rude!!!! She chose to decide for Brazoria County who was "Welcome" at their county park and beach... Needless to say the park is not worth the trip to drive to from Houston... read more

The park is a great place to go and relax. The park is well maintained and it is a great place to take friends or family. There are three beaches within that 15 mile stretch of beach, and the major difference between the three is 1) how you access them and 2) how much seaweed they have. Quintana- (1) Has a park with a parking lot (+). (2) Lots of seaweed (-). Surfside- (1) Can park on the beach or some of the side roads next to the beach. (2) Seaweed varies. Bryan- (1) Have to drive on the beach to get anywhere (-). (2) No seaweed and the best sand. The choice of beach really just depends on what you are in the mood for. Quintana is probably the most family friendly. Bryan is probably the best place for you and a couple of buddies to go hang out and enjoy some drinks. read more

The park is tiny and the road leading to the park is really bad. Full of big potholes. Jetty area needs a major clean up. There's trash everywhere. Only reason I gave this place two stars is because of the seclusion. Most people end up going to the surfside jetty park (directly across the water) so it's not very crowded. I only saw fisherman at this place. This park is Not very family friendly. You get to see big ships coming in to the Freeport port, which is kind of cool. I wish city clean this place up every now and then. read more

PROS: Stayed for 3 nights in the RV area, my son and family stayed in the cabins. Very clean grounds. The sites are full hookups, which was nice. Didn't visit the restroom/showers. Cabins were cute, just basic. Camp host walked his dog or drove the golf cart around, and even stopped and said hello. Clean beach area. They were nice and let us check in early, as our spot was empty. Kids got to see wildlife....field mice came out at night..no worries, they didn't bother anyone. large toad, scorpion, crabs on the beach after dark and lots of different birds. CONS: LOTS of mosquitos, and they are big and resilient Take plenty of repellant and stay off the grass if you can. Lawn people decided to mow as we were setting up, so cut grass was blown all over our site and stuff. Hated to complain since they were nice enough to let us come in early. Kind of a far walk to the beach from RV area. Bring a wagon to carry your stuff to the beach. Closest convenient store we found was several miles away, so just plan accordingly. read more

We stayed one night in the cabins and had a great time. This was a week day and before Halloween so we had practically the whole place to ourselves. Cabins are cute and all decked in wood and include bedrooms with bunk beds, restroom with shower and small kitchen. The drive in is not the most picturesque but once you get settled the surrounding area is very enjoyable with quite a few things to do. The photos I've posted tell the tale and overall a great local getaway. read more

My family and I recently visited the Quintana Beach County Park. We were hoping to find a well-kept RV park within close proximity to the beach that had reasonable nightly rates. QBCP checked off all the criteria! The campsites, office, and boardwalk are immaculately kept and provide welcoming scenery. I was fascinated with cleanliness of the public restrooms. From our campsite to the beach was a short walk of no more than a quarter of a mile with the lighted fishing pier just a bit further. We did bring a wagon along which made hauling a cooler, lawn chairs, and fishing equipment down to the water a breeze. I was especially impressed by the reasonable rates. Rarely are you able to find an RV park that has access to any form of entertainment that are this inexpensive. Some may see the park's remote location and distance from eateries to be a pain, but we made sure to bring everything we needed. In the event that there was a need incidentals, Lake Jackson is a nice twenty minute drive from the park. All in all, we were very pleased with our experience and will definitely be back! read more

I stayed here 3 nights in a tent for 4th of July. My family and I had a great time and would definitely stay here again. During this time of year the seaweed was really bad but it didn't keep us or anyone else we saw out of the water, but they did use heavy equiptment to help manage it. To add though, this beach is a naturally maintained beach that does not use traditional raking methods that erode the beach. Also, my power went out at my breaker which could happen anywere, but the camp host was very friendly and helpful and resolved the issue, not to mention all of the guest and my neighbors were very friendly. Sites were very spacious with concrete pads, picnic table and fire ring. There was plenty to do in the area with great shoreline fishing access at the port entrance that neighbors the park. The attatched jetty has a walkway that makes it easy to fish from or just sight see with the family. read more

My mom and I enjoyed our stay here. I have not been here for 11 years now, and a lot has change. This Park is great for having events, and also renting cabins to stay here for the holidays. It has bathrooms, showers to rinse off the salt water, play ground, bar b que pits, games to play shoe horse, and of course the beach. With the bathrooms being outside I thought they were not going to be clean, but surprisingly they were very clean and well organized. Everything about this park was very well organized. I for sure will be coming here again. Probably to rent a cabin because they are not that expensive they range from 120 to 218 a night, and the cabins have everything. read more

great little rv get away... very well maintained, bath house is one of the cleanest we have been at. fishing from bank,peir,or jetty they have you covered. alot of the people who stay here work in the area plants so it gets nice and quiet early. definitely a trip back for more relaxing times. read more

Mosquitos everywhere! Beware! No one warned us and we have 3 young children. We arrived around 8:30pm and the minute we got out to set up our tent, they started attacking. It was so bad that we ended up tearing everything down and driving to a hotel 2 hours away. Also, if you arrive after hours you need a code that they are supposed to email you but they never did. Campground host was very nice and I bet it would've been a great place without the bugs. Close to the beach! read more

This is the most unsafe place I have been to. There is no security on site and no emergency line you can call if you need something. We had the reservation for 2 nights and ended up leaving in 2 hours. When we got there, we had asked Patti who we can contact if we needed anything. She told us the office closed at 5 and if we needed anything we would have to drive to the Park Host's trailer. In the two hours we were there, we sanitized the place and went down to the beach for a walk. As soon as it got dark, we came back to our cabin to see a man peeking inside our cabin (He was in a cabin next door by himself). It was really suspicious and we decided to leave. We went to the park host to explain what had happened and he said he couldn't help. So we left the keys with him and drove away. Next day, we called Patti (the park Superintendent) to explain our situation, but her exact words were "it is all in your head." She was not helpful at all. Please, take my advice and don't go there. It is not at all a family friendly place and there is nothing there to keep you safe - not a security guard and not an emergency phone line. Also, the beach was very disappointing. It was not very clean. It's better to pay a few extra bucks and go somewhere nicer and safer. read more

Although the park is pretty to the eye, this 4th of July weekend is the worst I have spent at the beach in many years and we camp the Texas beaches at least twice a year. The beach was not being cleaned off although the seaweed was awful and when we asked them about it we were told that no one was cleaning the beaches off as well as them although we did find several cleaner beaches where we spent our Saturday. The mosquito issues were unbearable and the standing water issues around the bathrooms and patios only added to this issue. The children were unable to play in the parks even though we went thru can after can of Deep Woods Off. The showers were draining directly onto the ground leaving standing water under the bathrooms causing the worst issues with the mosquitos. Other beach areas had fogged for mosquitos and I am amazed that this was not done at this park especially since this is a county park. We left early due to being unable to stand the mosquitos. This experience did show us that we will always go back to the state parks where we pay less for a better campout. read more
