A small post office with the name Half Moon was opened at a trading post in 1885. That trading post eventually became the site of what is today known as Shiner, Texas. Henry Shiner donated 250 acres designated as a right-of-way and depot for the railroad that had initially bypassed Half Moon. The town grew once the train depot was established. When you book an RV in Shiner, you will truly be in the heart of Texas, partway between San Antonio and Houston. You’ll be a little more than an hour’s drive away from the Gulf of Mexico, but you’ll also have plenty of amazing opportunities to visit a host of wonderful destinations.

One of those is Matagorda Island near Corpus Christi. This is a small outer bank that nestles right along the Gulf of Mexico, so if you love warm water activities, that could be an option to consider. If you’re willing to take a bit of a hefty drive to the west past San Antonio in that luxury RV rental from Shiner, you can check out Big Bend National Park that sits right on the U.S.-Mexico border. If you’d rather stay a bit closer, to the north of Houston is the Sam Houston National Forest near Conroe.
