    The Breeze Hotel & RV Park

    Small, nice, beachfront !

    Very nice place. Only 14 spaces all with concrete pad, picnic table, and full hookups. Very clean and well maintained. Just steps from the beach with an outdoor shower to clean off the sand before you head home. Also a 6(?) room hotel on site. Staff is always available. The company who does the lawn care accidentally cut both my sewer hoses and The Breeze owners had them replaced in 5 minutes!

    Medical Center RV Resort

    Clean, quiet, and inviting

    Wide roads to maneuver and large spaces made it easy to get in and get setup, no cars clogging the lanes.  Private rooms in the bathhouse let you feel comfortable and not like a locker room.

    Everyone was so friendly and nice and the park feels like you are not in the city despite so close to everything.  At night the string lights overhead give a warm and comforting feeling to walk around and enjoy the cool evening air.

    No trees or picnic tables at the sites, but, we had our own table and chairs to use.

    Highly recommend to all!

    Brazoria Beach

    Great spot during the middle of the week

    Does not have the white sands of South Padre, but not much of a chance of getting stuck unless you really try. Dodge 2wd 1500 pulling 10 ft trailer with no issues getting in and out. Very quite during the week. There is some trash around and that is sad. We picked up every day but still needs help fosterm all. Weekend it get a bit crowed and becouse of the hard pack sand, some people we're going alot faster then the 15 mile an hour speed limit. Weelend also brings vender trucks coming down the beach all the time. We were a bit irritated at 1st but then bought ice-cream LOL  We live in Fort Worth and the trip here is about 200 miles shorter then South Padre so it will be a great place to hit when we dont want to travel that extra 200

    Galveston Island State Park Campground

    very positive camp

     It sounds like you had a memorable experience during your stay! Friendly staff, clean facilities, and great beach walks definitely contribute to a positive impression. It's wise to prefer the bay side sites for a quieter atmosphere and fewer crowds. Watching interesting birds adds to the charm, but it's essential to stay cautious of snakes, as you mentioned encountering a rattler. Making reservations in advance seems like a good tip to avoid any hassle, especially during busy weekends. If you need any assistance with your writing tasks, consider checking out https://payforessay.net/ for reliable help. Additionally, having reservations in advance can provide peace of mind and ensure a smoother experience during your stay, allowing you to focus more on enjoying the surroundings and less on logistical concerns.

    Bolivar Flats Dispersed Camping

    Great Sunrises . Not Busy In Winter

    Bolivar Beech: A nice experience during the week. However, there is lots of activity on the sunny weekends. I have heard that it is very crowded with campers during spring break and in the summer. Also, there is a gated community being built behind the section of beach near Retilion Rd. I spoke with two city officials with Nuisance Abatement. There is talk of instituting a 2 week limit.
    (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

    (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer.)

    Overall Rating: 4 - would be a 5 but for heavy usage of day users during sunny weekends. Many are great. Few are not. One child came behind our camper and helped herself to our collection of shells while her mom watched. Careful of your belongings.

    Price 2023: $10 to the right of Rettilon Rd. Free to the left of Rettilon Rd. Security: None Usage during visit: Campers: Light this time of year Site Privacy: None Site Spacing: Plenty of room to spread out and most campers do. ‘Pad’ surface: Sand Reservations: No Campground Noise: Noisy on weekends. Quiet, for the most part at night, but for the occasional party persons.
    Road Noise: None Through Traffic in campground: Lots of folks driving the beach on the sunny weekends. Minimal during the week. Dispersed Camping . Potable Water Available: Bring what you need. Generators: Allowed. Bathroom: One pit toilet in our area, at the beach end of Rettilon Rd . It is very full after the weekend. Bring your own TP. It runs out.
    Showers: No Cell Service (AT&T): 2 to 3 bars Setting: Beach, dispersed Recent Weather: S50s at night and 60s during the day.
    Solar: Great Host: No Rig Size: Largest.

    I spoke with someone who is camping here for one month. He loves this place. Clean, friendly, and good location., He says. I spoke with the owner over the phone. He is very, very friendly. If I was looking for a monthly residence, I would definitely be checking this place out. I’m not sure if they offer weekly rates or not.

    Best place in Bolivar Peninsula

    This was such a blissful place to start my Texas snowbird trip. As a solo female traveler in a campervan I felt so incredibly safe and welcomed to this campground. Nancy and Butch are the kindest campground hosts I've ever encountered. They ensured to check in with me regularly during my two week stay, the bathroom, shower and laundry facilities were maintained consistently, and the dog park and closeness to the beach was perfect for my dog's daily exercise. For the reasonable price, I felt this campground delivered above and beyond. If I hadn't scheduled another campground, I would have stayed longer. Thank you to all at Beachside RV. You made my stay memorable.

    Great Spot—Busy!

    We stayed here almost 10 days. Did some jockeying around because we didn’t have reservations. Friendly staff, clean facilities, great beach walks, large sites. We prefer the bay side sites—quieter and fewer people. Lots of interesting birds to see, and watch out for snakes! We saw a big rattler on the boardwalk but we gave it space and it moved off right away. I would recommend a reservation to save hassles as this place fills up on the weekends.

    Loved the Sandpiper RV location. Nice access to the beach and really nice morning walks on the beach. Has amenities like showers and laundry room. There is also a pool. The only issue we had was the mosquitoes. There were so many and sitting outside was difficult. We did buy some things to help. Not sure it was very effective though.
