Port Aransas Permit Beach Campground offers direct beach camping on hard-packed sand suitable for RVs and tents, requiring only a $12 annual parking permit and an additional $40 camping permit.

Camping is limited to three consecutive nights per 21-day period, with amenities including portable toilets, trash facilities, and allowance for small campfires; multiple beach access points and nearby I. B. Magee park provide dump and fill services for $10.

The location features excellent cellular coverage and is popular for both daytime recreation and overnight boondocking, though it can get crowded during peak seasons and weekends.
