Tropical Trails RV Resort

There's plenty to do outside when you camp in an RV at Tropical Trails RV Resort. The resort is a 30-minute drive from the waterfront Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge. This beautiful preserve is an ideal place for wildlife watching. An extensive network of trails runs through the park, where visitors can see the wide variety of birds, mammals, and reptiles that are present in the park. Bicycling is also allowed on the trails. Wildlife found within the park include white-tailed deer, grey foxes, and bobcats. Rare Aplomado falcons and endangered ocelots also reside within the refuge. There are also several places to go fishing here - along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico on a designated beach, in the Bahia Grande, and along the Arroyo Colorado. Those who want to explore the refuge in a more relaxed manner can embark on a tram tour, which educates visitors about the local wildlife. Boca Chica State Park is also located very close to the campground. It is home to the stunningly pristine Boca Chica Beach and is an ideal way to enjoy the water on the Gulf of Mexico. The beach is great for sunbathing, and it is also a popular destination for surfers. You can also go fishing in the waters of the gulf, where you might find sea trout, catfish, whiting, red drum, black drum, and more. The park is also a great place to observe the many migratory birds that pass through this area. On South Padre Island itself, you can explore the Laguna Madre Nature Trail. This is a great way to see the sea turtles that South Padre is known for. It's also a very popular place for bird watching and connects many of the beaches on the island. This trail is perfect for an island stroll through the marshland.
