Campgrounds near Rice Tracts
Rice Tracts is a small unincorporated community and census-designated place in Cameron County at the southern tip of Texas, sitting roughly 15 miles northwest of downtown Brownsville and 6 miles south of San Benito. The Resaca del Rancho Viejo, a southeastward-flowing tributary of the Rio Grande, winds through the northern half of the community, and the area falls within the Lower Rio Grande Valley delta system.
RV travelers use Rice Tracts as a quiet base for exploring the wider Valley. Most nearby campgrounds are full-hookup RV resorts oriented toward long-stay Winter Texans, with the closest options including El Ranchito At Resaca Bend MH and RV Park, Fun N Sun RV Resort, Palmdale RV Resort, Anglers Nest RV Park, and River Bend Resort and Golf Club.
The surrounding Rio Grande Valley holds a dense concentration of RV and mobile-home resort communities, ranging from small family-run parks to large gated resorts with pools, pickleball courts, and activity halls. Brownsville, South Padre Island, and the Mexican border at Matamoros are all within an easy day's drive.
Things to do near Rice Tracts
Birding is the headline activity. Resaca de la Palma State Park sits just up the road in Brownsville, protecting about 1,200 acres of Tamaulipan thornscrub and resaca wetland as the largest tract of native habitat in the World Birding Center network. Private vehicles are not allowed inside the park, so visitors move around on foot, by bike, or by hourly tram from the visitor center.
Brownsville itself offers the Gladys Porter Zoo, a walkable historic downtown, and cross-border day trips to Matamoros. Anglers head to the Laguna Madre and South Padre Island beaches, roughly 40 minutes east, for surf fishing, kayaking, and dolphin watching.
Golfers, cyclists, and shoppers have plenty of options across the Valley, and the winter months bring a full calendar of dances, craft shows, and jam sessions inside the larger RV resorts.

The Rio Grande Valley has a humid subtropical climate with a very mild, mostly dry winter and a long, hot, humid summer. Winter daytime highs typically sit in the low 70s Fahrenheit, hard freezes are rare, and measurable snow is essentially unheard of. This is why the region draws tens of thousands of Winter Texans from the northern United States and Canada each year, with most arriving between late October and early November and staying through March.
Spring is warm and generally pleasant, with February and April historically among the driest months and rising humidity by May. Summer is hot and muggy, with August highs averaging around 93 degrees Fahrenheit and heat indices routinely higher.
Fall carries the heaviest rainfall. September is typically the wettest month in Brownsville and coincides with the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, so RVers traveling in late summer and early fall should watch tropical forecasts and confirm site availability before arrival.
Booking an RV site near Rice Tracts
Private RV resorts in the Valley run their own booking systems. Peak season generally runs November through March, and monthly and seasonal sites at popular parks like Fun N Sun RV Resort, Palmdale RV Resort, and River Bend Resort and Golf Club fill months in advance. Nightly and weekly stays are easier to secure in the shoulder and summer months, though many parks require credit and background checks for long stays.
For public land, Resaca de la Palma State Park in Brownsville is a day-use park managed by Texas Parks and Wildlife with no overnight camping. Day passes can be reserved through the Texas State Parks reservation system, and group facility bookings are handled by contacting the park office directly.
What to expect
Terrain around Rice Tracts is flat farmland and resaca wetland, so most RV sites are level, paved or gravel, and easy to maneuver into with a big rig. Larger resorts such as Fun N Sun RV Resort and River Bend Resort and Golf Club offer full hookups, pools, laundry, and organized winter activities, while smaller parks like Anglers Nest RV Park lean quieter and are oriented toward fishing.
Expect a strong 55-plus, snowbird culture at most parks from November through March, with pet policies, quiet hours, and long-stay leases common. Cell coverage is generally good, groceries and medical services are close by in Brownsville and San Benito, and the U.S.-Mexico border adds documentation requirements for any cross-border day trips.
