RV Park for Contract Workers Near Houston Petrochemical Plants
Working a turnaround or long-term contract near the Houston–Freeport petrochemical corridor? Here is why Double Time RV Park in Alvin, TX is the go-to housing solution for plant workers.
RV Park for Contract Workers Near Houston Petrochemical Plants
If you're heading to the Houston–Freeport petrochemical corridor for a turnaround, shutdown, or long-term contract, you already know the housing challenge. Hotels fill up fast, rates spike during major turnarounds, and short-term apartment rentals require credit checks, deposits, and 30-day minimums that don't match your schedule.
Double Time RV Park in Alvin, Texas is built for exactly this situation.
Why Contract Workers Choose RV Parks Over Hotels
The math is simple. During a major turnaround near Freeport or Texas City, hotel rooms within 30 miles can run $120–$180 per night — and they book out weeks in advance. A full hookup RV site at Double Time runs $45/night daily or $375+/month.
If you're bringing your own rig, that's a significant savings. If you're renting a travel trailer or fifth wheel for the duration of the job, you're still coming out ahead — and you have your own kitchen, bathroom, and living space instead of a hotel room.
Location: Central to the Petrochemical Corridor
Double Time RV Park sits at the intersection of FM 2917 and FM 2004 in Alvin, Texas — a strategic location for workers at facilities across the corridor:
- INEOS / Ascend Performance Materials — Alvin area, approximately 10–15 miles
- LyondellBasell — La Porte and Channelview, approximately 35–45 miles
- Dow Chemical / Olin — Freeport, approximately 35–40 miles
- Valero, Marathon, and Texas City refineries — approximately 30–40 miles
- Chevron Phillips — Old Ocean and Sweeny, approximately 30–35 miles
- BASF, Huntsman, Braskem — Freeport corridor, approximately 35–45 miles
Alvin puts you south of Houston's traffic, which means you're driving against rush hour on most routes — a real advantage when you're working 12-hour shifts.
What We Offer Contract Workers
Full Hookups at Every Site
All 50 sites include water, sewer, and 30/50-amp electric service. No partial hookups, no dump station runs. Plug in and you're home.
Flexible Stay Lengths
We accommodate daily, weekly, and monthly stays. If your job runs long or wraps up early, we work with you. No rigid lease terms that don't match the reality of contract work.
On-Site Laundry
Working 12-hour shifts in a refinery means you need clean clothes without driving to a laundromat. Our on-site laundry facility is available to all guests.
Restrooms and Showers
Clean, maintained restrooms and showers on site — useful if you're in a smaller rig or just want to keep your rig's water tank topped off.
Quiet and Secure
We're not a party campground. Most of our long-term guests are working professionals who need rest between shifts. The park is quiet, well-lit, and managed on site.
Special Rates for Plant Workers
We offer special pricing for workers and visitors at INEOS, Ascend, LyondellBasell, and Freeport and Texas City refining facilities. Call 281-309-6007 to ask about current plant worker rates before you book.
Bring Your Rig or Rent One
If you don't own an RV, several rental companies in the Houston area offer travel trailers and fifth wheels by the week or month. A 26–32 foot travel trailer with full hookups at our park gives you more space and privacy than any hotel room — at a fraction of the cost.
Book Before the Turnaround Fills Us Up
Major turnarounds in the Freeport and Texas City corridors bring hundreds of contract workers into the area at once. Sites fill up fast. If you know your job dates, call us early to reserve your spot.
