Myers Landing

48 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

Along the Mermentau River in the coastal prairie of Jefferson Davis Parish, Louisiana, Myers Landing has served the fishing, hunting, and outdoor recreation community of southwest Louisiana since 1983—a well-established river landing and RV park in the quiet community of Lake Arthur that combines genuine Southern Louisiana character with the practical amenities of a full-service campground. The property sits on a working river landing where boat traffic on the Mermentau comes and goes throughout the day, providing an aquatic backdrop that connects guests to the rice, crawfish, and waterfowl culture of the Louisiana coastal prairie in a way that no manufactured resort atmosphere can replicate. A boat launch, private fishing dock, kayak rentals, miniature golf, and cabin rentals give Myers Landing a recreational completeness that extends well beyond the standard RV park. Pull-through and back-in sites with 20/30/50-amp hookup options accommodate RVs of varying sizes alongside cabin rentals sleeping 6-8 guests with full kitchen facilities for extended stays and family groups. An 18-hole miniature golf course, a children's playground with slides and swings, and a country store stocked with cold drinks, groceries, snacks, and LP gas provide on-property infrastructure for both short and long stays. Laundry, restroom, and shower facilities serve the practical daily needs of the camping community, and kayak rentals provide a paddle-powered alternative to motorized boat traffic on the Mermentau for guests who want to explore the river's cypress-lined banks at a quieter pace. The Mermentau River is the life-system anchor of the southwest Louisiana coastal prairie—a slow-moving blackwater river connecting Lake Arthur to Grand Lake and the lower Mermentau basin's extensive marsh complex before draining into the Gulf of Mexico. The private dock at Myers Landing produces largemouth bass, catfish, sac-a-lait (white crappie), and the bream species that inhabit the tannin-stained water year-round, and the river serves as a wildlife corridor for alligators, otters, and the waterfowl that move between the coastal marsh and the freshwater impoundments of the surrounding rice and crawfish farm country. Lacassine National Wildlife Refuge, one of Louisiana's most productive waterfowl refuges, lies just a few miles from the landing and manages 35,000 acres of freshwater marsh for the nesting and wintering waterfowl that use the coastal prairie as a major waypoint in the Central and Mississippi flyways. The Lake Arthur town park and surrounding Jefferson Davis Parish landscape provide a genuine immersion in the rice and crawfish farming culture that defines southwest Louisiana's agricultural identity. Jennings, the parish seat, offers restaurants, supplies, and the Lacassine Museum's early oil-well heritage exhibits that tell the story of how petroleum transformed this coastal prairie economy. The southwest Louisiana coastal prairie climate supports year-round camping with mild winters attracting snowbirds and fishing enthusiasts from the upper South and Midwest. Duck season—running from November through January—represents the peak demand period at Myers Landing, when the Mermentau basin's waterfowl hunting draws serious hunters who appreciate the river access, boat launch, and country store's early-morning provisions for a pre-dawn hunt. Spring crawfish season brings a second wave of enthusiasm to the surrounding parish, and the warm months provide active bass and catfish fishing in the Mermentau's productive river system year-round.

The Retreat RV Resort & Camping

The Retreat RV Resort and Camping in Huffman, Texas, is a comprehensive camping destination in northeast Harris County offering extended-stay RV sites, glamping wagons, and the full range of outdoor accommodation in the Lake Houston corridor — a resort property in the Huffman community that gives guests the natural setting of the Big Thicket transition forest and the Lake Houston shoreline access within the Greater Houston metropolitan area, where the proximity to Houston's urban services and the forested, lakeside campground environment give The Retreat the specific character of a nature-immersed resort within practical reach of the metropolitan Houston area's employment, entertainment, and transportation infrastructure. Huffman's northeast Harris County position on FM-2100, 30 miles northeast of downtown Houston, gives the resort the specific suburban-to-rural transition zone that the Lake Houston watershed and the San Jacinto River's bottomland sustain at the edge of the Greater Houston suburban growth corridor. Extended-stay RV sites, glamping wagon accommodations, and the complete camping resort amenities give The Retreat the full-spectrum accommodation range that serves both the long-term resident who values the natural setting and the short-term adventure traveler who wants the glamping wagon's curated outdoor experience in the Lake Houston area — the glamping wagon format specifically gives couples and families the elevated accommodation format that the northeast Harris County forest setting sustains as an authentic outdoor escape within the Houston metropolitan area's suburban reach. Pets are welcome. Lake Houston, three miles west of The Retreat in Harris County on the West Fork of the San Jacinto River, is the primary municipal water reservoir for the City of Houston — a 12,000-acre lake with boat ramps, fishing, and the Lake Houston Wilderness Park's 4,900 acres of bottomland hardwood and riparian forest that give the Harris County park the most significant municipal wilderness area in the Houston metropolitan region. The San Jacinto River's bottomland forest corridor from Lake Houston north into Liberty County sustains the freshwater bass, catfish, and crappie fishery that the northeast Houston angling community specifically targets in the San Jacinto River and its tributaries. Sheldon Lake State Park and Environmental Learning Center, 20 miles southwest of Huffman on Garrett Road in east Harris County, manages the 1,200-acre Sheldon Reservoir's freshwater marsh, bottomland hardwood forest, and the native prairie restoration in the most complete wetland ecology state park in the Houston metropolitan region. The park's neo-tropical migrant bird diversity during the spring migration from late March through May and the wintering waterfowl from November through February give the urban-edge park its specific birding significance in the Houston Audubon Society's Important Bird Area network for the Harris County marsh and bottomland bird community. The Retreat RV Resort and Camping serves guests year-round in Harris County's subtropical Gulf Coast climate, where the mild winters sustain the extended-stay resident market and the spring and fall seasons provide the most comfortable conditions for the Lake Houston recreation, the Big Thicket National Preserve day trips, and the Houston metropolitan area activities that the Huffman location's northeast Harris County highway access enables. The Big Thicket National Preserve, 40 miles northeast of Huffman in Hardin and Liberty Counties, protects the unique biological crossroads where the eastern deciduous forest, the Gulf coastal prairie, and the Pineywoods overlap in one of the most botanically diverse forest ecosystems in North America. Reserve sites and glamping accommodations well ahead for the spring and fall outdoor recreation seasons.

Rusted Rail RV Park

1 RV Site

On the eastern fringes of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, in the gently rolling prairie of Kaufman County, Rusted Rail RV Park serves as a well-appointed suburban base camp for travelers who need Dallas access without Dallas prices or traffic. Eighty-six full-hookup sites spread across all-asphalt streets and pads—a detail that eliminates the muddy entry roads and uneven pull-throughs that plague so many metro-adjacent parks—and the 70-foot pad length accommodates even the largest Class A rigs and fifth-wheels without squeezing. The park's proximity to Cedar Creek Lake and the Rusted Rail Golf Resort adds a recreational dimension that elevates this well beyond a highway stopover. Every site features 30/50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections on 70-foot asphalt pads that keep rigs clean and level regardless of the season. A children's playground and laundry facilities serve family travelers, and the park's fully pet-friendly policy welcomes dogs of all sizes to the grounds. High-speed Wi-Fi connects throughout the park, making Rusted Rail a comfortable choice for remote workers who need a reliable Dallas-area address for a week or a month. A dog park and picnic area are in development, further rounding out the amenity package for extended-stay residents. The Rusted Rail Golf Resort sits just five minutes from the park entrance—an 18-hole course set in the cedar-dotted Kaufman County landscape that regularly draws players from across the greater Dallas area and provides guests a polished golf experience without a long drive into the city. Cedar Creek Lake, 20 minutes east, spans more than 32,000 acres and offers boating, waterskiing, bass fishing, and a marina community that has attracted a significant vacation-home following from Dallas and Terrell. The lake's largemouth bass population sustains an active tournament fishing circuit that runs throughout the spring and summer months. Downtown Dallas lies roughly 30 miles to the northwest, putting the AT&T Discovery District, the Dallas Museum of Art, and Fair Park within a manageable drive for guests who want a city day without a city hotel bill. Five Points Whiskey Distillery, a craft spirits producer 10 minutes from the park, offers tours and tastings for those who appreciate small-batch American whiskey made from locally sourced grains. The town of Kaufman itself provides a historic courthouse square with local dining, an antique district, and the understated character of a small Texas county seat that rewards a slow afternoon stroll. Kaufman County's mild winters make Rusted Rail a year-round destination that draws both passing travelers and extended-stay residents who appreciate the park's combination of solid infrastructure and metro convenience. Summer weekends see increased activity from Dallas-area families heading to Cedar Creek Lake, making advance reservations advisable for holiday periods. The park's all-asphalt infrastructure makes it particularly appealing during rainy spring months when other area parks struggle with rutted gravel and standing water—a practical advantage that repeat visitors cite as a primary reason to return.
