When you’re thinking about an RV rental, you’ll soon find out that there are several RV classes to consider. When you want to visit a beautiful town like Galveston, Texas, you’ll learn that just about any RV works very well in the city. For example, larger RVs are accommodated thanks to the presence of campgrounds with full-sized spaces, and smaller teardrop campers work well in beach environments.
Still, not everyone knows what’s available, so here’s a rundown of a few types of vehicles that you can select for your Galveston RV rental:
Galveston, the island city, has some of the best RV park options in the state. Dellanera RV Park offers full hookups as well as back-in and pull-through sites. This is also a dog-friendly location, so you can easily bring along Fido for a fun RV trip. Additionally, places like Stella Mare RV Resort offer amenities like pools and hot tubs. Â
While Texas is home to two national parks, the closest national park to Galveston is in neighboring Arkansas. Hot Springs National Park is in the town of Hot Springs, Arkansas. As you might expect, this national park and its surrounding city are named appropriately, so if you would love to experience thermal baths during your trip, this national park is over 450 miles from Galveston, making for a great road trip.
After your RV rental in Galveston, you might want to store your vehicle to keep it clean and safe. Fortunately, this island city has some options like Bayside Storage Inc and Hideout Cove Boat and RV Storage. These facilities will keep your RV protected when not in use.
Now and then, you’ll have to dump your sewage, and typically, in an RV, this requires a dedicated dumpstation for gray and black water. In the Galveston area, there are plenty of RV campgrounds that offer this service for registered guests or for a small fee. These include Sandollar RV Park and Bolivar Peninsula RV Park. Galveston Island State Park also allows dumpstation access for a user fee.
When you’re RVing in Galveston, it’s all about fun in the sun, and with places like Schlitterbahn Waterpark, Moody Gardens, and Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier to visit, you can rest assured that your days will be full of enjoyment. You can even opt to take classes that will teach you how to build epic sandcastles. There are also various tours to take advantage of, including ones that will let you explore the island via Segway.Â
Galveston doesn’t have sports teams, but if you want to enjoy arts and history, then the town has a lot to offer. Galveston has 16 museum-style experiences, which include options like the Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig and Museum, the Galveston Railroad Museum, and the Galveston Naval Museum. If you’re up to see some of the art of the area, check out the MiArt Gallery.
For professional sports and world-class entertainment, head the nearly 60 miles up to Houston. Watch the Astros battle their American League West rivals at Minute Maid Park. Take in a performance of the Houston Symphony or the Houston Grand Opera.
 Galveston's unique geography means that there are only a few highways and major roads that travel through the area. Interstate 45 takes you from Galveston to Houston. On the island itself, main roads include routes 87 and 275.
Motorhomes are divided into Class A, B, and C vehicles. On average expect to pay $185 per night for Class A, $149 per night for Class B and $179 per night for Class C. Towable RVs include 5th Wheel, Travel Trailers, Popups, and Toy Hauler. On average, in Galveston, TX, the 5th Wheel trailer starts at $70 per night.
