Camping -- Quintana Beach County Park (on 5th St., in Quintana; tel. 800/872-7578 or 979/233-1461) is practically on the water. The campsites are fairly close together, but it's a short walk to the beach. There are 56 sites (including 19 pull-through RV sites) and a small group of grassy "tent-only" sites. The campground has paved roads, showers, a self-serve laundry, an RV dump station, picnic tables, grills, a playground, and horseshoe pits. Boardwalks lead from the campground to the beach. Camping rates from May to September are $19 for primitive tent sites and $25 to $27 for RV sites with full hookups. From October to April, rates are $19 for tent sites and $22 to $24 for full hookups. Day use costs $6 per vehicle. There are several cabins with sleeping areas, bathrooms, and kitchens (but no linens or kitchen utensils), which rent for $135 to $160 from May to September and $120 to $145 from October to April. From Tex. 36/288 in Freeport, turn right onto FM 1495, and after crossing the Intercoastal Waterway on a swing bridge, turn left onto Quintana Road, which becomes Lamar Street in Quintana. Turn right on 8th Street, then left on Burnett Street to 5th Street.
