West Mooring Dock Park
Google Maps has this spelled as “West Moring” when it should be “West Mooring” because this serves as a mooring for boats to tie up to. Owned and built by the Army Corps of Engineers, it’s maintained by the County of Matagorda as a public park.
While there are no signs prohibiting camping, there are no signs saying camping is allowed. It’s frequently used as an overnight for travelers and truckers, but by the weekend it’s popular destination for beach-goers and fishermen. At night, it’s popular with teenagers with muscle cars.
The adjacent beach is actually private property owned by a real estate investment firm called Sargent Ventures, LLC, but there is no signage, no gate, no fencing, hence it remains a popular beach access area.
