Jamaica Beach RV Resort

This is our 4th visit to this resort. My entire family looks forward to this trip each year. There is a similar setup much closer to home, minus the beach but with the addition on a wibit course, that would charge the same rates in a weekend, as we get during a peak summer season for a week. With what this resort offers, it is more than worth the drive and price!

I will say, this year there were just a couple things that put a damper on the trip, that we’ve never experienced before. People parking along the narrow driveways or along the narrow roads, making it difficult to drag our rig in, was a negative mark as soon as we pulled in. Again, we’ve never had this issue before, but it made things difficult as the paths are just big enough for one vehicle. The second negative was a charter bus with a bunch of kids of all ages, pulled in. It wouldn’t have been too big of an issue except, this kids were WILD!! They were not RV guests. They came with a church just for the day. Which would have been fine, except they flooded the lazy river, and had no etiquette or manners. They jumped in the river on top of people, we’re throwing footballs, frisbees, and tubes- hitting guests with the objects, and most of the rv guests evacuated the area until they departed. I realize this is a business and they can do with it what they want, but when I’ve spent $500 to sleep in said resort, I hope for the amenities to be to MY advantage and safely. My children were hit with many of the objects thrown.

Now, on to the positives. Like I mentioned, this is our 4th summer spent at this resort. We truly do enjoy it. There are so many things available to do, you truly don’t have to leave, if you didn’t want to. Multiple pools, a jacuzzi, sauna, lazy river, mini golf, movies, bouncy pillow, and a brisk walk to the beach. That doesn’t include the multiple bath houses, laundry facilities, and the pavilion. We were disappointed to see the original hot tub filled in with soil, plants and mulch, but figured there must have been a really expensive issue with it, which it why it was filled in and an external one was brought in. Granted, it didn’t seem that the new jacuzzi was operating properly, as it didn’t get hot enough. But it was a nice additional, all the same. The gates to the pool and splash pad were locked, making it difficult for kids to go back and forth from the splash pad to the pool. We mentioned it to the office, but when we left the pool area 4 hours later, no one ever unlocked the gate.

The grounds are kept up daily. There’s always someone mowing, weedeating , or inspecting things to ensure everything is tidy. Most guests follow the guidelines and keep their sites neat.

We were put up against the road, which we were t thrilled with. It’s a good distance from the amenities, especially since we don’t have a golf cart, but it wasn’t as noisy or as bad as we thought it might be.

There are great places to eat nearby. There are also a couple of little stores, should you need anything!

This campground has everything. It’s very close to the beach, has 2 pools and a lazy River, mini golf, pavilion and even has a Hunts Brothers Pizza in the shop and an on-site food truck. Spots were plenty long for tow vehicle and travel trailer. Hookups we’re super easy. Everyone was very friendly inside and outside. Even get visits from the neighboring donkeys.

Walk to bayside for birdwatching (resort's property) and walk to beach! Great staff, all the amenities you could want!

Our site is good, just the right size. The location is a little far from galveston and the town area is a little small.

The splash pad is cool but aged. The pools are really neat but the water cleanliness is subpar. All the pools need vacuuming with sand and dirt on the bottom. The infinity spa pool was cloudy. The other pools didn't feel quite right.

The lazy river was very fun and enjoyed that.

Huge resort campground with lots of amenities. Putt putt, a couple of pools, a pond, hot tub, laundry, camp store. Friendly folks in the office. A real downer for us was that the bath house was far from our site. We had a pop-up so that was inconvenient. Many high end motorhomes and trailers. It is a well run and clean campground.

Had an amazing time here, so much to do. The lazy river was great. Amenities were clean and staff was fantastic. Will be back!

We were so looking forward to staying here. The pictures online looked amazing! Once we arrived we were a bit disappointed. We arrived at 5 pm. Office was already closed and no packet or information was left for us. Had to pull into a random site for the night. The following morning a young girl came knocking on our door. Explains that they had no way of reaching us the day prior. Hard to believe when they had our phone number and email address. Anyway, we were told we had to move sites. Not once but twice. This was during our four night stay. Then we find out that the lazy river had been drained. So many of the amenities that were supposed to be available weren't. Had I known I wouldn't have even booked with these people. Such a shame. It seems like this place used to be great.

The campsite was azing

The first time we visited this resort was in 2020, for 4 days. It wasn’t long enough. We went back in July 2021, and had to stay for a week! 

The resort is clean and has so many things to offer. This year, an enclosed/covered pool was new, and a canopies over the wading area in the lazy River were also an added feature. Mini golf is always a hit, and we enjoyed the nightly movies. There’s public beach access across the road, offering a great opportunity to hunt seashells. Each time we visited the beach, it was very clean.  The splash pad is great for the kids, and it’s conveniently located right next to one of the pools.

There is a small store in the office. You can also order pizzas there. Just down the road is a grocery store and a few restaurants. You can drive further down to the sea wall and enjoy all the benefits of Galveston!

Awesome place. 800' lazy river, indoor 30' hot tub, adult pool, indoor pool, kid water park area. Golf cart and pet friendly. Beach access across from park. 18 hole putt putt golf. Two dog park areas. Showers and laundry available. Small pond for catch and release fishing. Outdoor games for kids and an outdoor movie weekly. Cabins available to rent. Pull through sites with full hookups for 30 and 50 amp. Pizza available to order from office. Small store on site.

This place is so much fun! They have everything you could want to do right there on the camp grounds. My family and I enjoyed our stay here and made lots of new memories in our new travel trailer.

Very clean rv park. Very friendly staff. Walk to public beach is .4 miles.

They do not allow tent camping Place looks nice though.

Definitely resort-y, lots of fun things to do, very well kept, and very clean! Not for those looking for nature camping experience as you are close from neighbors (mostly big rigs). Beach is right across the street:)

We just started RV'ing and going fulltime all at once. Our backs were starting to feel the road so I looked up, "RV parks with hot tubs" and found Jamaica Beach RV Resort. This place is amazing, it literally has everything! 2 hot tubs, 1 indoor and 1 outdoor, 2 pools, 1 lazy river (so relaxing), 1 miniature golf course, 1 duck pond, 1 outdoor movie screen, 1 Pavillion with grills, and an awesome splash pad for the kids, both young and old. It is right across from the Gulf at the front and a trail to the Bayside with docks for fishing, 2 bench swings, and a nice bike path. We also saw chickens, horses, cattle, ducks, cranes, fish, and a lot of turtles. 

It has 2 separate laundry areas and several spots to just relax. 

We were wondering where fulltimers go for vacation and we just found it! We will definitely be back!

The park has two pools an extra large hot tub,lazy river and a kiddo section access to beach is a block Down . There is fishing piers on the bay to fish. There is a little cafe to get food. The park is kept up as far a grass being cut and clean restrooms.

I have tried several times to book here but the moved me around, upgraded my campsite without speaking to me. When I did speak to the staff, they continuously put me on hold. They were less interested in speaking to me than whomever was in the office. I understand that sometimes they are busy checking in new people but he had back up staff there assisting. When the site was corrected, I let him know of the hassles I've had trying to get a site (calmly, not like a crazy mean person), he stated that maybe I'd like to cancel. So I did. I'm really disappointed as I've heard this is a nice resort.

This is a nice RV park - the sites are close together but they are level and give you full hook ups. There are multiple pools, putt putt golf and a lazy river. Be sure to grab your spot next to the lazy river early in the day if you are wanting to stay all day. There are a few umbrellas but you can bring your own easy up shade tent.
The park runs activities all day for the kids but most are already engaged in one of the pools. We went with another family and got sites that faced each other. Made things really helpful and gave us a little more space than normal.
The gulf side of the beach is a short drive away. You can walk it but you have to cross a busy two lane highway which I wouldn’t recommend. When we were there they were making a path to the bay side of the beach to make it easier to get to.
We have been here twice and will certainly come back again.

Nice campground, lots of activities, nice lazy river and pools, putt putt golf course. About 10 to 15 minutes from Galveston.

We love this park. We go every summer. It’s about 20 minutes outside of Galveston. Beach is across the highway but easy to get to. Pools are the place to hang out. They have plenty of activities for the kids. Putt putt and movie night.

A lot of stuff for families. Lazy riverb putt putt, splash pads, and pools. No easy access to the beach. 15 minute drive from main part of Galveston.
