OFM Webcams

Comfort Castle Location: Rockport, Texas
Adventure Location: Rockport, Texas

These are the webcams that are used in viewing areas of interest to me.

The first is of the Rockport Beach Park area. It is convenient to check the fog, traffic etc before setting out from the campground to go play.

This next one is of the Port Aransas beach front a short distance from the jetty. It gives me a good idea of what the waves are behaving like and if the tides are running low or high.

This next one is located in Marathon Texas at the north end of the road going to the Persimmon Gap entrance to Big Bend National Park. The view is to the west but the park is to the south. It is about 35 miles to the park gateway.

A view of the Diablo East boat ramp at Amistad National Recreation Area is seen in this next camera view. It allows the usual checks on sky, water level and water roughness. This is a main boat ramp to the lake and is also the location of the free RV dump station and potable water.

The next link takes you to the ferry cameras at the Port Aransas ferries. By checking all the cameras you can check the weather and traffic load to see if it is worth your bother to try to use the ferries. The ferries sometimes have back ups of over an hour to board the ferry.
