Camp McAllen Opens for Weekend Camping Reservations

Overnight camping is now available at Camp McAllen, an outdoor recreation space in the heart of McAllen, Texas. 

The city-operated site officially began accepting weekend reservations on October 1, offering an urban camping option for residents and visitors in the Rio Grande Valley.

The campground is part of the City of McAllen’s broader investment in outdoor recreation, designed to provide a unique destination for locals and tourists while generating new opportunities for the region’s hospitality and tourism sectors.

“Ready to sleep under the stars? Starting October 1st, you can reserve your weekend escape with us!” the campground indicates in a Facebook post.

According to an article published by My San Antonio on October 3, camping is permitted on weekends only, from Friday through Sunday. Guests may bring their own tents or rent four- and six-person tents along with LED lanterns from the McAllen Parks and Recreation Department. 

Campers must also pay a fee for the campsite pad regardless of whether they bring their own gear or rent equipment.

The campground offers an accessible option for residents who want the outdoor experience without traveling far from the city. Located within city limits, the site provides a balance of nature and convenience, allowing campers to access supplies and services nearby.

Camp McAllen spans more than 20 acres and is designed to provide outdoor adventure and family-friendly recreation within the city. 

Visitors can take advantage of amenities such as a kayak dock, multiple fishing docks, and a shaded gazebo, making it an accessible spot for both relaxation and activity.

The park also features scenic trails that cater to a range of interests, from those looking for a quiet walk to others seeking a more active outdoor experience. 

With its mix of natural spaces and recreational facilities, Camp McAllen offers opportunities for all ages to enjoy the outdoors close to home.
