How to Get Here from Houston & Freeport
From Houston, take Hwy 288 South — the most direct route from the city. The drive is approximately 60 miles and takes 60–75 minutes depending on traffic. Hwy 288 is a divided highway with few traffic lights once you clear the Beltway 8 interchange. Traffic is heaviest on weekday mornings (7–9 AM) and afternoons (4–7 PM) near the 610 Loop and Beltway 8 — plan accordingly if you're arriving on a weekday.
From Galveston, take I-45 West to TX-332 West toward Freeport (approximately 50 miles, 55 minutes). From Corpus Christi or the Valley, take Hwy 35 North to Angleton, then TX-288 South to FM 523. The resort entrance is clearly marked on FM 523 with a large sign and a playground visible from the road.
Big rig and fifth-wheel friendly: FM 523 is a paved two-lane state highway with wide shoulders and no low bridges or sharp turns between Hwy 332 and the resort entrance. The resort's internal roads are concrete-paved and designed for rigs up to 47 feet. Pull-through sites are available — call ahead to request one if you need extra length.
