Matagorda Bay has the best of both! Located about 100 miles southwest of Houston, Texas, this park is perched where the mouth of the Colorado River feeds into the Gulf of Mexico, surrounded by magnificent marshes and wonderful wetlands. Whether you are camping or glamping, stopping by for the day, or participating in our youth summer camps, a great adventure awaits.
