Camp & Clean
Welcome 2025 Partners!
Join us for our free annual cleanup on the world's largest undeveloped barrier island!
November 7th, we'll make our way down to the Texas coast for a night of camping on North Padre Island. The next morning we'll participate in a cleanup that Calvary has organized with local businesses. Then that evening we will drive the entire island to camp at one of Texas's most remote locations.

Wildlife
Padre Island National Seashore is the most important nesting location in the U.S. for the Kemp's ridley, the most endangered sea turtle in the world. It's also not uncommon to see coyotes, dolphins, and deer while traveling the island!
Garbage
See trash on the beach? Nine out of ten times, that trash originated offshore, and the currents brought it to the island. Padre Island has lots of beach cleanups, but struggles reaching the areas that require 4 wheel drive. That's where we come in!
Camping
Primitive camping is permitted on the entire 60 miles of beach. That is an overlanders paradise! There are no facilities or resources after entering the park, so bringing adequate provisions, fuel, & water for the 150 mile out & back is paramount.
4 Wheel Drive
The first 25 miles is accessible by a 2 wheel drive vehicle. As you make your way farther down, the tides & weather can change the terrain within a couple hours. 4 wheel drive is needed to explore the entire island.
