These two couples have attended all 20 of the Matagorda Madness gatherings that started back in 2006. From left to right, Jim & Carolyn Youngmeyer, and Blair & Jeanette McClure
The Matagorda Madness gathering in 2026 will take place from December 3-5, marking our 21st annual gathering! This fiberglass gathering is halfway between Galveston and Corpus Christi in Matagorda, TX.
We stay at the LCRA Matagorda RV Park, conveniently located along the Colorado River and just a short walk to the beach. Historically, we experience temperatures ranging from 49-69 degrees this time of year, with minimal rainfall, making it a great opportunity for outdoor fun! We’ve seen everything from sunrises over the Gulf to the occasional wild weather, but that’s part of the adventure!
There’s no formal agenda or registration for this gathering because there is no gathering hall. Just come and enjoy fishing, birding, kayaking, Gulf seafood, beachcombing, relaxing, and fellowship. Whether you’re beachcombing or just relaxing, it promises to be a wonderful time among friends. We will have a bonfire on the beach either Friday or Saturday night, depending on the weather, so if you plan to join and enjoy the bonfire, please bring some firewood.
Reserve your spot at the LCRA website as soon as you can!
