Future RV haven on Texas City Dike eyed by city officials
Texas City may host its first recreational vehicle park on the grass field at the tip of the Dike west of the Lighted Pier with 300 to 350 camp pads, full utilities, a pavilion, security, shopping facilities and a clubhouse. The project faces sewer and water planning hurdles and requires a lease of city land. The Dike Road would need repairs to handle RV traffic, with the county asked to review improvements. The developer also plans a second RV park on Highway 146, pending property acquisition.
