I found this website in Brownsville, Texas, with access to the recreation and hiking areas nearby . I have never been there, but it looks like something I might try . This is near the Gulf and the islands that make up the state and National Parks. I am sure there are many others. Check the Texas Tourism Board and other websites. Good luck. John B.

Gotta agree with Ninja. Although in Big Bend you might not want to camp too close to the Rio Grande. When I was there they were warning of thefts of gear left in locked cars. Apparently someone(s) were coming over the border, stealing stuff and going back. That was a number of years ago, don't know how it changed. Still, was beautiful! go to nps.gov.
