Noise-Sensitive? You’re Not Alone
Not everyone loves the sound of fireworks, especially pets and folks with sensory sensitivities. If you’re looking to keep things low-key, we’ve got your back. Consider playing calming music inside your rig, using noise-reducing headphones, or heading over to our air-conditioned clubhouse. It’s a great place to unwind with arcade games, a round of cards or board games, or catch the KBTX live broadcast of the drone show: body rattling shockwaves averted!
Safety First
Texas DPS has intensified patrols through July 6 under Operation CARE:watch for speed, seat belts, DUI, and Move Over violations. Whether you drive or walk to events, stay alert and keep hydrated!
Weather & Travel Tips
Expect hot temps and a chance of scattered storms this weekend.
- Choose shaded areas and earlier daytime activities
- Keep water and hats on hand
- Cool off back at Galloping Snail in our air-conditioned clubhouse

Whether you’re here for the parade, fireworks, drones or just relaxing on this holiday, Galloping Snail is your perfect 4th of July pit stop. Grill your own cookout (remember your gear!), refresh in our clubhouse, and then join in the evening fun, all without the long drives.
