Malaquite Campground - Corpus Christi, TX

No, this is not California or the Caribbean or Hawaii or Florida. It's Texas! This is just a quiet, peaceful, family friendly beach. I love that it is further away from the city, so there are fewer people visiting. This is a part of the national seashore park system. It's amazing miles of the unspoiled beach!!! No rowdy party goers with loud music and alcohol. We enjoyed this beach. Can't wait to go back!

The Longest Stretch of Undeveloped Barrier Island in the World
Padre Island National Seashore separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Laguna Madre, one of a few hypersaline lagoons in the world.  The park protects 70 miles of coastline, dunes, prairies, and wind tidal flats teeming with life.  It is a safe nesting ground for the Kemp’s ridley sea turtle and a haven for over 380 bird species.  It also has a rich history, including the Spanish shipwrecks of 1554. 

Ratcliff Lake Recreation Area 2017 One of our favorite places to stay!!

We were very pleased with the scenery and the surroundings.
Well maintained,  clean,  quiet,  friendly. You get a lot of space to yourself, so we definitely felt like we had a lot of privacy. One of our favorite places to stay!! Spending some time at this park will differently re-charge your batteries.
Will definitely go back.

Blueberry Hill Farm & Nursery 2017

A very nice day outdoors! So glad we did!  We all had a great time! It was a lot of fun being able to pick your own berries. I did it once when I was a kid and enjoyed the event then too. Wonderful place, people, and experience!
