2026 Refinery Turnaround Schedule – Texas City & Galveston Area
Planned and rumored turnaround schedules for major refineries within 30 miles of Hitchcock, TX — updated monthly. Book your RV site early during peak turnaround season.
Why Turnaround Season Fills Our Park Fast
Refinery turnarounds bring thousands of contract workers to the Texas City and Galveston area every year. Lazy D RV Park — just 3–5 miles from the major Texas City plants — is one of the closest full hook-up RV parks to the refinery row. Sites fill up weeks in advance during peak turnaround months. Book early.
Schedule Disclaimer
Turnaround dates are based on publicly available information, industry sources, and historical patterns. Schedules are subject to change without notice. Always confirm directly with your contractor or staffing agency. This page is updated monthly — last updated July 2026.
Why Stay Near Galveston Instead of On the Island?
Galveston Island itself has very few RV parks, and those that exist tend to be crowded and expensive. Staying in nearby Hitchcock, Texas City, or La Marque gives you lower rates, more space, full hookups, and an easy 20–25 minute drive to everything Galveston has to offer.
Lazy D RV Park — Hitchcock, TX (Our Top Pick)
Located just 22 miles from the Galveston Seawall, Lazy D RV Park offers full-hookup sites with 30/50 amp electric, water, and sewer. Daily ($65), weekly ($220), and monthly ($590) rates available. Pet-friendly with easy I-45 access. Call (409) 974-0122 or book via RoverPass.
What to Look for in an RV Park Near Galveston
Always confirm full hookups (water, electric, AND sewer), 50 amp availability for large rigs, and monthly rates if you're staying 30+ days. Lazy D's monthly rate of $590 works out to under $20/night — one of the best values in the Galveston area.
What "Full Hookup" Actually Means
A true full hookup RV site includes electric (30/50 amp), water, and sewer. Some parks advertise "hookups" but only offer water and electric — no sewer. At Lazy D, every site has all three. No shared dump stations, no waiting in line.
Why Full Hookups Matter for Texas City Workers
If you're on a refinery turnaround working 10–12 hour shifts, full hookups mean unlimited water use, no tank anxiety, 50 amp for two AC units, and the ability to cook in your rig without worrying about gray water. For workers staying 2–8 weeks, full hookups aren't a luxury — they're a necessity.
Rates and Site Details
Every site at Lazy D includes 50/30 amp electric, water, and sewer. Daily: $65 | Weekly: $220 | Monthly: $590. Level gravel pads, adequate site spacing, and pet-friendly. Located in Hitchcock, TX — 12–15 minutes from Marathon and Valero Texas City refineries.
Why Contract Workers Choose RV Living
A decent hotel near Texas City runs $100–$150/night — $3,000–$4,500/month. A monthly RV site at Lazy D is $590. Workers who own their RV and use monthly RV parks consistently report saving $20,000–$40,000 per year compared to hotels, with the added comfort of their own bed, kitchen, and bathroom.
Location: Petrochemical Facilities Within Reach
Lazy D is in Hitchcock, TX — 12–15 min from Marathon and Valero Texas City refineries, 8–10 min from INEOS La Marque, 35–40 min from LyondellBasell Houston, and 40–45 min from Shell Deer Park and ExxonMobil Baytown. The closest quality full-hookup park to Texas City refinery row.
Book Early — Sites Fill During Turnarounds
Monthly sites at Lazy D fill quickly during major refinery turnarounds. If you know your project start date, book as early as possible. Call (409) 974-0122 with your arrival date, rig length, and amp requirements. Monthly rate: $590/month for full hookup 50 amp site.
Galveston Island (20–25 Minutes)
Galveston is the crown jewel of the area — Historic Pleasure Pier, 32 miles of Gulf beach, the Strand Historic District, and Moody Gardens (aquarium, rainforest pyramid, IMAX). East Beach and Stewart Beach are the most popular public spots. The causeway puts you there in 20–25 minutes from Lazy D.
NASA Johnson Space Center (30 Minutes)
Space Center Houston is one of the most impressive attractions in the region. See actual spacecraft, walk through a space shuttle replica, tour Mission Control, and learn about human spaceflight from Mercury through Artemis. Plan a full day — it's worth every minute.
Local Gems: Fishing, Seafood, and Nature
The Texas City Dike is a 5-mile jetty perfect for fishing redfish, flounder, and speckled trout — free and accessible by car. Brazos Bend State Park (45 min) has alligators, hiking, and stargazing. For seafood, Benno's on the Beach, Gaido's, and Topwater Grill in San Leon are all within 30 minutes.
Lazy D RV Park Is Pet-Friendly
Lazy D RV Park in Hitchcock, TX welcomes well-behaved dogs and cats. Our open layout gives pets room to stretch after a long drive, and the gravel pads and grassy areas around the park make it easy to walk your dog morning and evening. We're 20 minutes from Galveston Island — close enough for a beach day, far enough to keep rates affordable.
What Makes an RV Park Truly Pet-Friendly?
Not every park that says 'pets allowed' is actually set up for pet owners. Look for open space to walk, no excessive weight or breed restrictions, clean grounds, proximity to pet-friendly beaches or parks, and on-site management. Lazy D checks all of these.
Pet-Friendly Spots Near Galveston for RV Travelers
Galveston Island has several pet-friendly beaches — East Beach and Stewart Beach allow leashed dogs in designated areas. The Texas City Dike is a wide-open fishing jetty where dogs are welcome on leash. Brazos Bend State Park (45 min) has miles of hiking trails and is one of the best outdoor spots in the region for dog owners.
Rates and Booking for Pet Owners
Daily rates at Lazy D start at $65/night, weekly at $220, and monthly at $590. There's no additional pet fee. Call (409) 974-0122 to confirm availability and let us know you're traveling with pets so we can place you on a site with extra space if available.
Why Texas Gulf Coast for Snowbirds?
The Texas Gulf Coast — particularly the Galveston–Hitchcock–Texas City corridor — is one of the most underrated snowbird destinations in the South. Average winter highs run 60–70°F from November through February. You're 20 minutes from Galveston Island, 30 minutes from NASA Johnson Space Center, and within an hour of Houston's world-class dining, museums, and medical facilities.
Lazy D RV Park — Hitchcock, TX
Lazy D RV Park offers monthly rates starting at $590/month for full hookup 50-amp sites — one of the lowest monthly rates in Galveston County. Sites include 30/50 amp electric, water, and sewer. The park is gated, has on-site management, 24-hour laundry, and air-conditioned restrooms and showers.
What to Do During a Texas Gulf Coast Winter
Winter is one of the best times to visit the Galveston area — crowds thin out, temperatures are comfortable, and the fishing is excellent. Galveston Island beaches, the Texas City Dike, Moody Gardens, the Galveston Historic District, Brazos Bend State Park, and the Houston Museum District are all within easy reach.
Book Early for Winter Season
Monthly sites at Lazy D fill up in October and November as snowbirds arrive for the season. If you're planning a winter stay, call (409) 974-0122 in September or early October to reserve your site. Monthly rate: $590/month (50 amp) or $570/month (30 amp).
Why Amenities Matter More for Workers Than Vacationers
A vacationer can tolerate a shared dump station or spotty Wi-Fi for a weekend. A contract worker on a 6-week turnaround cannot. When you're working 10–12 hour shifts six days a week, the RV park is your home base — and the wrong amenities will grind you down fast.
Must-Have Amenities
50 amp electric service, full hookups (water + sewer on site), on-site management, 24-hour laundry, gated/secure entry, and reliable Wi-Fi. These are non-negotiable for a multi-week turnaround stay.
How Lazy D Stacks Up
Lazy D RV Park in Hitchcock, TX checks every must-have: 50/30 amp electric, full hookups on every site, on-site management, 24-hour laundry, gated entry, free Wi-Fi, and air-conditioned restrooms and showers. Monthly rate is $590/month (50 amp) — one of the lowest in Galveston County. 12–15 minutes from Marathon and Valero Texas City refineries.
Why Stay Near Kemah Instead of On-Site?
Kemah Boardwalk itself doesn't have RV camping, and the immediate area around Clear Lake is expensive and congested. Staying at an RV park 20–30 minutes away — like Lazy D in Hitchcock — gives you a full hookup site at a fraction of the cost, with easy access to Kemah, Galveston, NASA, and the rest of the Gulf Coast.
Lazy D RV Park — 25 Minutes from Kemah
Lazy D RV Park is located at 6202 Delaney Road in Hitchcock, TX — about 25 minutes from Kemah Boardwalk via I-45 and TX-146. Full hookup sites with 30/50 amp electric, water, and sewer. Daily rates start at $65/night, weekly at $220, and monthly at $590.
What to Do at Kemah Boardwalk
Kemah Boardwalk sits on Galveston Bay and offers rides, restaurants, live entertainment, and waterfront dining. The boardwalk is walkable and family-friendly — plan 3–5 hours for a full visit. Landry's Seafood, the Aquarium Restaurant, and Flying Dutchman are popular dining spots right on the water.
Day Trips from Lazy D — The Full Gulf Coast Loop
From Lazy D, you can hit Kemah Boardwalk (25 min), Galveston Island (20 min), NASA Johnson Space Center (30 min), and the Texas City Dike (10 min) — all in a single multi-day trip. The park's central location on I-45 makes it one of the best-positioned RV parks for exploring the entire upper Gulf Coast.
What to Look for in an RV Park Near Texas City
True full hookups (water, electric, AND sewer), 50 amp service, monthly rates under $650/month, gated security, on-site management, and laundry/showers. Lazy D in Hitchcock checks every box.
Lazy D RV Park — 12 Minutes from Refinery Row
Located at 6202 Delaney Rd in Hitchcock, TX — 12–15 minutes from Marathon and Valero Texas City refineries. 70 full hookup sites, 30/50 amp, gated, laundry, showers, Wi-Fi. Daily $65 | Weekly $220 | Monthly $590.
Power: Get 50 Amp If You Can
Texas summers are brutal. If your rig has two air conditioners, you need 50 amp service. Both 30 amp and 50 amp sites are available at Lazy D — specify your requirement when booking.
Water and Sewer: Full Hookups Are Non-Negotiable
After a 12-hour shift, the last thing you want is to worry about tank levels. Every site at Lazy D includes water, electric, AND sewer. No shared dump stations, no tank anxiety.
Security: Protect Your Rig During Long Shifts
Lazy D is a gated park with on-site management. Add a hitch lock, wheel chock lock, and a motion-activated camera for extra peace of mind during long shifts.
Top Fish Species in Galveston Bay
Speckled trout, redfish, flounder, and black drum are available year-round. Fall (September–November) is the best overall season — the flounder migration in October is exceptional.
Best Fishing Spots Near Lazy D RV Park
Texas City Dike (10 min) — free, drive-to-the-end access. Galveston Island surf (20 min). San Leon bay shoreline (25–30 min). Galveston Bay flats by kayak or small boat.
Lazy D RV Park — 8 Minutes from La Marque
Located at 6202 Delaney Rd in Hitchcock, TX — 8 minutes south of La Marque via I-45. 70 full hookup sites, 30/50 amp, gated, laundry, showers, Wi-Fi. Daily $65 | Weekly $220 | Monthly $590.
About La Marque, TX
La Marque is home to INEOS Oligomers and several chemical/industrial facilities in Galveston County. It's a frequent destination for contract workers and turnaround crews — and Lazy D is the closest full-hookup RV park to the area.
3–5 Miles from Refinery Row
Lazy D RV Park sits at 6202 Delaney Road in Hitchcock, TX — just off I-45, putting you 3–5 miles from the Marathon, Valero, BP, and INEOS plants in Texas City. That's a 10-minute drive with no highway traffic, compared to 30–45 minutes from Houston-area parks.
Built for Working Crews
70 full hook-up sites with 30/50 amp electric, water, and sewer. Gated entry for security. 24-hour laundry. Air-conditioned restrooms and showers. Free Wi-Fi. On-site management. Everything a working crew needs after a long shift.
Monthly Rates That Make Sense
Monthly rates start at $570/month (30 amp) or $590/month (50 amp). Weekly rates at $220/week. Daily at $65/night. For a 6-week turnaround, a weekly rate works out to $1,320 total — far less than a hotel room for the same period.
