Labonte Park offers free camping on the Nueces River with 20 gravel sites featuring picnic tables, trash cans, and port-a-potties; a free permit (3-6 nights) is required from Corpus Christi City Hall.

The riverside location provides direct access for fishing and kayaking, though be aware of highway noise from nearby I-37 and note that the northbound approach has a 12'6" underpass that may be lower during high water.
