RV Rental El Campo, TX

Aransas National Wildlife Refuge began as a remote island when melting ice from continental glaciers raised the sea level; much later, river sediment created barrier lagoons and joined the island to the mainland once again. Today the area is a sanctuary for migrating bird species such as the whooping crane, which in 1941, numbered only 15. The park today consists of marshland, low sandy prairie, and oak woodlands; it hosts more than 400 bird species, turtles, and alligators, and a diverse variety of plant species. Visitors are allowed to hike and bike on the nature trails, go fishing and hunting and enjoy nature and wildlife observation.

San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge is a haven for migrating and wintering bird species that stretches from the gulf to the Brazos and San Bernard River basins. The refuge is part of a group of nature preserves that includes Brazoria and Big Boggy, but it also serves as a public outdoor recreation area. Visitors can enjoy wildlife watching, participate in environmental education programs, or go fishing or hunting. Photography is another popular activity practiced within the park. Park your El Campo RV rental nearby and use it as a photography or viewing blind while sipping on a fresh cup of coffee.

There is lots to see and do when you book a campervan rental in El Campo, starting with a natural history museum. The museum has stuffed versions of some local wildlife displayed in exhibits that replicate their natural environment. Young children are allowed to touch the exhibits, and the staff on hand are friendly and willing to answer questions. The tour ends with some make-believe environments for young children, such as kids pretending to be veterinarians and tending to stuffed animals who may need medical attention. For adults, there is a wine bar where you can sample the local products and maybe even pick up something to have with your dinner. Don't forget that the best part of an RV vacation is hitting the open road, and your El Campo motorhome rental is your chance to do exactly that.

Now that the sun is setting, it is time to think about food and relaxation (you have most likely earned it). There are a number of barbecue establishments in town, and one of them is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This venue has a bakery and cheese section in addition to its smokehouse, and guests can purchase barbecue from the showcase if they choose. Guests dining here should try the Bison & Pork Summer Sausage with Cheese (you may not find this anywhere else).
