They are about five times bigger than the mosquitoes I’m used to and have stingers about a quarter inch long, which means they can get to you right through your pants and shirt.
They say things are bigger in Texas, and they aren’t joking. I was camping at Malaquite Campground, and when the wind was blowing there wasn’t a mosquito in sight, but when it died down, they were perched on the outside of my tent just daring me to come out. However, there’s no way I’d camp here from June through September.ĭuring the warmer months, if the wind isn’t blowing, mosquitoes are a big problem everywhere on Padre Island. I camped in late October, and it was extremely hot during the day with the sun beating down, but the night wasn’t too bad. With no shade, even mildly hot summer days can be brutal. One thing to keep in mind when deciding to camp at Padre Island National Seashore is that there isn’t a shade tree in the entire park. The primitive campground and all beach camping is free, but you do need to fill out a permit. There is a fee at the two developed campgrounds, and these are paid at the self-service pay stations at the entrances.
There is, however, a dump station at the entrance to the Malaquite Campground that is available to all campers.Īll campsites are taken on a first come, first served basis. Amenities are sparse even at the developed campgrounds, and while RVs are welcome, there are no electric or water hook-ups anywhere in the park.
