Large brand new resort with comercial laundry, pool, hot tub, great internet pool and hot tub. Very clean
ScoutBeen trying for two months to get my deposit refunded. When I call they just give me the run a round. Campground was ok. Hot tub only worked two weeks of the two months I was there.
I will visit again but not to stay. Just to get my deposit back. I paid it on time but they aren't responding in kind. There are many other places in this area. I suggest you stay at one that takes credit cards and fies business in this century.

Came across this place while camping at Goose Island State Park in Rockport. Julie is the owner and she is super nice and accommodating. Amenities are endless: laundry, shower, pool, electric hookup, full kitchen, fridge, hot tub, TV and lounge area and lots of shade. Lots of RV spots and a few places to set up tents. Usual rate is 25$ for RVs but Julie was so nice and allowed me to set up a tent and use the park for 15$ for the night. Highly recommend coming here and camping. Located right near town and 5 minutes from the water.

Mr.& Ms. Scout, We were Winter Texans for 3 years at (Circle W) until it was taken over by RJourney. We never were part of the cliques that you indicated were in the park. We were part of a large family of friends, both Winter Texans and year round residents. The main reason we left was the taking away of the tow sewing rooms for "family" rooms. There were several sewers that used these rooms to make quilts that were given to local charities and organizations in the community. With all the activities they have taken away there is not much for all to do. They do have a nice pool & hot tub. Also no hot water in bathrooms in the clubhouse.
LegendColonia Del Ray is a nice little park, nothing to fancy. We usually stay here when visiting family that lives in Flower Bluff. It is a very convenient location, about five minutes from an HEB and within thirty minutes of most of the Corpus Christi attractions. They have a lot of rental spots for such a small park, so there is not much room between you and your neighbors. If you going for a fun trip at the beach you wouldn’t be spending much time at your RV anyway.
The rate is forty bucks a night for an RV with free wi-fi and cable. The facilities are clean, but don’t expect much scenery. There are not many trees, but at least you can see the ocean. There are coin laundry machines, pool, playground, and a mini gated dog area. I believe they have rental cabins on one side of the park. It seems like locals use this park to post up their boats and RVs as well. You can make reservations online, and the owners of the place are very kind.
Flower Bluff is a great town with wonderful people. Make sure you check out some of the locally eateries. About two blocks from the park is a seafood restaurant located on the water with a huge deck. They have excellent food and it is in walking distance which is a plus! Also if you have kids take them to the U.S.S Lexington! It is so awesome and hands-on with airplanes on the top deck!

Stayed in a cabin out here and although it was very busy, it still felt like you had a bit of privacy
ScoutMy ranking system: Five stars is a non-starter, because I do not award any business this ranking. There are always improvements to be made. A four star ranking is "Excellent", and a three star ranking is "Satisfactory". The others are "Marginal" and "Unsatisfactory". This park receives a Satisfactory grade because it is an average park, with plusses and minuses found in most average parks. Some features are above average, and other features below average.
In looking at the facilities, I rate this park as Excellent. It has a swimming pool and hot tub, a playground for children, floor shuffleboard, horseshoe pits and lanes, and corn-hole game set-ups. The park offers use of BBQ grills, having several to choose from, located under a covered picnic area to shade users from an unrelenting sun or torrential downpour. There are three small lakes or ponds that people can fish from without requiring a fishing license, on a catch and release basis. The RV park has a laundry room, handicapped accessorized bathrooms in three areas of the park, two of them being brand new to the facility since Hurricane Harvey, some years ago. There is a small card playing room in the building that houses the laundry machines. A lending library of the park contains books, movies, and jigsaw puzzles, of which there are a good number of books and puzzles to be borrowed.The clubhouse is quite nice and big, capable of supporting large crowd bingo games and dances. There are four 8-foot billiard tables in their own dedicated room inside the clubhouse.
On the downside, but on an improvement schedule, are the roads in and about the park. About a third of the park's roads are in terrible shape. The entry area of the park has had a rock chip covering to smoothen the drive through the park's entry and to the general office and clubhouse. Plans for future area road improvements have been discussed. So, while a downside, at this point in time, I expect this evaluation to improve as the roads are improved in the future.
One things the new owners really liked when they bought this park is the community-mindedness of the Winter Texan population, many of whom have returned to this park for upwards to 10-15 years. It is this family attitude that has run the vast number of activities weekly during the Winter Texan Season, to include numerous card games, dice games, board games, bingo, line and trail dancing, beanbag baseball and karaoke. Winter Texan volunteers take care of potluck meals and breakfast. There used to be about 20-25 ladies who maintained a sewing club and used to make honor quilts for veterans and other deserving individuals and organizations, but the vast majority of these ladies have indicated a desire to move on to other RV parks in upcoming seasons.
A new activity the managing staff hopes to grow is the renting of the central clubhouse for outside events requiring a sizable area for entertainment. The clubhouse can probably house close to 200 individuals for these events, which are hoped to come from the communities of Rockport and surrounding areas. It is the hope of the general management at the park to have people look at the RV park as a wedding venue location, given the size of the clubhouse. Rooms upstairs, previously used by the sewing club, have been transformed into dressing rooms for these future events. The clubhouse is closed to Winter Texans during these events.
As with all changes in management, things change to suit the goals of the new leadership. This sort of thing typically upsets people who had been conducting activities at the park for numerous years. That's the case at this park, as well. The new owners seem driven to adjust the focus of this park from one of Winter Texan retirement community to one that also attracts the attention of working families that are looking for a beautiful park to visit. The expected result of this adjustment is to broaden the clientele for the make up of the community population. Done smoothly, with a broad respect for the current community, these changes would bring minimal alteration to the lives of the long term Winter Texan families that call this park home. Done more aloofly, as appears to be the case, and the existing community may feel "under assault" by the new management, yielding the field to anger and discontent on both sides of the line. That seems to be the case as the new owners more fully assume command and control of this RV park.
An initial town hall meeting was called by the new leadership and I thought the thing was conducted in a highly professional manner. Questions and concerns were voiced by the existing community and answered respectfully by the staff. Rumors were set to bed and the game plan for the park was briefed in a way most could appreciate. Promises were made, and so far, several have yielded fruit. A general timeline is probably in place to address promises of future action. That said, the office management has failed to take advantage of this forum type to inform residents and to quash rumors, thus allowing a rumor mill to fester unnecessarily.
Downside changes made have changed the way the Winter Texan community views the park. The park indicated it will no longer provide a mail service to the Winter Texan community that typically spends from 4-6 months at a time at the park, unless they are owners of permanently affixed park model mobile homes within the park. From the point of view of long term transient residents, who need this service to receive their medicines and bills from home, this decision will likely cause those Winter Texans to seek out other venues at which to spend their winters in the Coastal Bend area of Texas. While most changes can generally be adapted to with minimal fuss, the age category of Winter Texans is such that most of them receive their medicines through the mail while residing at this RV park. If the general office staff is unwilling to assume responsibility for the mail service of their transient long term residents, a solution would be to have the US Postal Service install an NBU bank of mailboxes that can be serviced by the letter carrier that brings the mail to the RV park. In this way, mail service will be available to these Winter Texans and the office will be also be out of the mail business. Other RV parks provide mail service to their clients in this manner, so it should be a consideration for the new owners of the RV park.
All in all, this is a beautiful RV park with lots of potential for growth in character. The management needs to remember they are in the hospitality business and are to manage an environment conducive to the interest of the demographics that either have used the park loyally for years in the past, as well as those who might be convinced to spend their hard earned money at the park in the future. Respect begets respect, from both sides of the coin. One must trust the new ownership wants nothing but the best for their new acquisition. That said, the new owners should remember and respect that which made the park attractive to them in the first place. The previous local management team restored a completely destroyed RV park, thanks to Hurricane Harvey, into one that was vibrant and made returning exciting. Those Winter Texans who impressed the new owners during their visit have become some of those greatly disillusioned by the perceived lack of respect from an aloof new management team, and have left the community for greener pastures. The new owner was really impressed by the quilting club during his inspection of the park, so I wonder how disappointed he would be if he were to learn of the departure of most club members due to the perceived disrespect they received from the current office management.
I have noticed animosity between previous posters and the ownership of the park, and this review is not intended to throw gasoline on either side of the arguments made by the two parties. Mine is a review of the RV park so others interested in staying here might have some ideal of what this park offers, and what things are changing at the park. As I've stated, there are many improvements being made to the park, but some have come at the cost of a tight-knit community. A future community will likely grow from the ashes of the old community, and I'm sure the ownership and those who continue to reside and visit this RV park fervently hope this will be the case. There are few RV parks in the Rockport area that offer the area afforded to visitors at this RV park. The area is green with life, and experiences to be made.
In conclusion, the question is whether or not I would advise new RV travelers to accept this park or avoid it like the plague. To be honest with my evaluation of this park, I think it is one where people can become a part of a community, even to such extent that they return year after year. There are good amenities at this park for visitors to take advantage of, in addition to the local area and its beaches and fishing opportunities. The management is adequate to their task, but could become more community conscious in their demeanor and actions. Some aspects of this park fall easily into the Excellent rating, while other aspects of the park are merely Satisfactory. Overall, this is a Satisfactorily evaluated RV resort park. People need to remember that average is just that - a bit of good, a bit of bad, as found in all similar parks. And with all reviews, take each with a grain of salt. Each review is a vision of the park from a unique viewpoint, whether from a visitor or from the ownership. Each coin has two sides. If you are interested in visiting this park, short or long term, call them and ask questions. Make sure this park suits your needs and wants. If not, go elsewhere to a location that satisfies your needs. If so, then come to the park and inculcate yourself into the local community and don't sweat the adequacies or inadequacies of a managing hospitality crew. Their job is to welcome you to the park and keep things up and running. They work for the corporation, but also for you the visitor. Do not expect them to be your friends. That's not in their job description. Just come and enjoy yourself. Texas has a lot to offer, and this RV resort park is one of them.
ScoutRockport RV Resort sounds like a lovely coastal getaway, perfect for connecting with new friends, just like on omegle! The location and amenities seem ideal for a relaxing vacation.
Traveler
Firefly Coastal Bend Resort in Corpus Christi is the perfect getaway! The resort is incredibly family-friendly and pet-friendly, making it an ideal destination for everyone. The private beach is stunning, and the fishing spots are fantastic for those looking to relax by the water. The staff is amazing—always helpful and welcoming—and the management company is doing a phenomenal job keeping everything running smoothly. We can’t wait to come back and make even more memories here!

We stayed the month of January. It is 55 and older park during the winter months. All concrete roads and sites. The sites are level and very close to each other. We could not put our awning out all the way. Very friendly staff. The only WiFi is at the clubhouse and is slow! You can wash your vehicle and camper at the site for $5-$10. Laundry room has several washers and dryers. Propane is available at the office. Our site was across from the Park Models where two different owners “yelled” at us when our dachshund walked on their small grass area!!!!!!! We will be somewhere different next winter. We love Rockport, Texas. Lots to do.
TravelerGood day- My name is John and my wife and I live in Dana, North Carolina... Just south of Asheville. Back in May, I had booked two(2) RV spots(one for us and one for dear friends coming in from California). I booked for a week, running from 5- 12 October, at a total(pre-paid) cost of$1,433. However, on Friday, 27 September(8 days before our trip), our region experienced Hurricane Helene. One hundred and twenty feet of our driveway was wiped out- totally washed away. The main road to our home was also washed away. Roads in and out of the area were destroyed and there were thousands of downed trees and power poles. The destruction was and remains hard to convey. We lost power and all communications for 13 days. We had no way in or out of our property for over a week. On Monday, 30 September, I was able to hike out to our local post office where I found I had one bar on my phone. I called family and friends, including the other couple that we were supposed to meet At the Firefly RV Resort. I explained the situation to them and asked them to call Firefly, cancel the reservation and,(given the circumstances) ask for a refund. The staff at Firefly were beyond rude and refused any consideration of a refund. When pressed on the matter by our friends, and stressing the dire conditions that all of North Carolina was facing, the Manager at Firefly told our friends the following-- and this is a direct quote:"Well, if the government would stop sending money to Ukraine, maybe they would have money to give to North Carolina." Enough said. I would strongly ask all conscientious RV-ers to BOYCOTT the Firefly RV Resort.
TravelerThis place is centrally located near a lot of services and activities. There's lots of pavement, which is not a huge selling point, but the dust is greatly reduced as a result. There's a small swimming pool and a large laundry. Bathrooms and showers are very clean. Personnel are very accommodating. There's a mix of short and long term residents. There's a decent amount of walking within the park, but outside the park is not that great. I didn't feel terribly safe. There are dogs running around without humans present and some homeless in the local park. The car wash next door is a great value and I was able to get my truck with extra high canopy washed for cheap. All in all, I thought it was a good place to stay.
ScoutIf you come her, don’t get the cheat site. No shade! Trees everywhere else but here. They have a swimming pool but nobody is using it! Don’t know why. It’s the middle of June!!
TravelerWe stayed here for 2 months prior to moving. The park is nothing fancy as far as scenery goes, however, the people and community here is top notch. The park is close to H-E-B and not too far from multiple beaches.

The resort personnel were wonderful over the phone and at check in. After that we were escorted to our site by a very stern man. He stated we should follow his instructions which caused us to hit another campers truck when our rear end swung around. He made a very big deal out of it and told the other party, who was very nice, that it was our fault for not listening to him. If parks weren’t so money hungry that they try to put big rigs like ours in such tight spots. Speaking of spots you have exactly 12 feet between you and your neighbor. Great location and amenities but this park goes overboard with rules. If your truck wheels are over the line at front of driveway you are given a citation. You constantly feel like the gestapo was coming because you broke a rule. Ruined our trip.
TravelerVery friendly atmosphere with quite a few permanent residents. The staff is helpful. The spaces are a little tight but adequate. The location is excellent with beach access. It is a nice area of the beach.
ScoutPrice are so good compare with around area
ScoutI love this park. Plenty of spots, different options. Two pools, rec center, activities. Best part is the boardwalk to the beach where you can drive over with your golf cart and get to the town via the beach access roads.
TravelerStayed here many days!
TravelerOn the island but away from the Port A traffic. Quiet and very clean. One of our favorites.
GuideAccess to the beach! Drive your vehicle or golfcart out onto the sand. Sites are paved. Wonderful clubhouse with numerous activities. Nice pool. Clean restrooms and laundry. Best park and value we have found in 12 states. We will be going back for winter 2022!

Great Place, very friendly staff and you can fish off the ship channel wall
TravelerQuaint, quiet and clean. Right on the water. Quick access to Port Aransas and Rockport.
ScoutWhat a shame to see such a great park go downhill so fast under new, clueless, management. They bought the park a year ago when it was known as Circle W RV Ranch. Ray and Debra, the previous management team, were at the helm for 7 years and turned this park into a wonderful place, especially for"Winter Texans". Since the new owner takeover Ray has been fired and Debra has been moved to"Activities Director". The problem is that Debra is apparently not consulted regarding major changes that should fall under her responsibility. In my opinion, this has never been a"destination" park. The infrastructure is crumbling. What makes the park special is the activities and the people, who selflessly volunteer their time and money to make the park a fun place to be. That is all changing under the new ownership Residents are being pitted against one another and activities are being cancelled. Residents are not allowed to escalate their concerns beyond the local, inept, management. Recently one of the park"guests" brought a concern to the"manager" and was told"No one is forcing you to stay here. You are welcome to leave anytime". Does this sound like a corporation that values you and your business? It is impossible to find out who the President of the LLC is or even a contact number or email for the Region Manager. They only seem to care about increasing their summer business at the expense of their steady winter income from their long term winter residents. They want us to tell our grandchildren about the playground equipment that is"coming soon". Most of our grandkids are in their 20's and 30's. This park should be named"Titanic Acres" because it is steadily on course toward an iceberg and losing its winter income. Update: Sent 2 emails to corporate executives....crickets. Tells you all you need to know about this organization and your value as a guest! More than 30 RV's are not coming back next year but will not post until they leave for fear of being evicted(which they just did to a guest that was critical of them). Me, I don't care. Lots of other parks in the area that still respect the first amendment.
ScoutWe travel 6 months a year in a 42 ft. 5th wheel. We often travel with my mom and dad and their pup, who have a Class A. We made reservations for 2 sites for 3 months (January, February and March of 2023) last June, 2022. I advised the reservation desk up front that we travel with 4 small rescue pups and was told it was not an issue. She required detailed information on each pup, which included name, age, weight and breed. Within an hour of our arrival, we were informed that RJourney had a 2 dog limit. I advised Becky, the interim manager, that I advised reservation desk last June that we have 4 pups and that I had given detailed information. We were allowed to stay but received many snide and negative comments during our stay from other RVer’s. Our pups are walked on 6 foot leashes ( no 15 foot retractable leashes for us) and are never outside without being leashed and with us. We did walk the park several times a day with our pups and my parents pup often joined us.
There are many cats that also reside in the RV park and are allowed to roam freely outside without restraint and their poop is not picked up. In most of the parks we have stayed in, there are requirements for cats to be leashed or have an outdoor cat “tent.”
There is a wonderful club house for those that choose to join in activities, such as cards, pool, pot luck, bingo etc. That is not our thing, but we did use the outdoor pool and it was very nice. It didn’t take very long to realize that there was a lot of drama, passive aggressive behavior, and infighting occurring in the park and with management. Our neighbors around us were wonderful and we just interacted with them.
There are lots of issues of junk and hoarding around rigs, especially in the older area of the park. It was not unusual to see refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, and tons of totes and large containers sitting under and around rigs.
The roads in the park are in terrible shape. Tons of huge cracks and potholes. Very poor lighting on parks roads at night. Huge risks of trips and falls for older folks. RJourney did come in during our stay and lay tar and chat in the parking lot and and road beside club house but stopped after those repairs.
When the wind blows out of the north, there is a horrible sewage smell those on the wrong side of the north wind.
The free WI-FI only lasts a week and then you have to sign up. Not very workable for us.
TravelerIf you want a rude, uncaring, unfriendly park this is the place to be.
4 years ago we arrived in TX and found this gem of a park with amazing managers. It wasn’t just an RV park it was a true community where people loved and helped each other. We had tons of activities. Many people in the park volunteered their time(and money) to keep the activities going. Very few things were actually run by the park. If you were bored it was your own fault. The clubhouse was open at all times to anyone that wanted to play cards or games or just gather for a bite with their friends.
Fast forward to last spring. The park was purchased by RJourney. They came in and assured us that the activities would remain and that they appreciated winter Texans. They had plans to fix the bad roads and remove some Harvey damaged buildings.
We arrived back in the fall to find out that one of the managers had been fired for questioning some of their decisions. The other manager was moved to Activities director. They brought in interim managers that are so rude! They refuse to have a conversation with you. No how are you, nothing. Just a blunt “What do you need?” when you go in the office. No smile, nothing. They make you feel like you’re a burden rather than a guest. Just hateful. If you question anything or bring a concern to them their standard response is “If you don’t like it you can leave. No-one is forcing you to stay here”. They have made it very clear that they don’t need or want winter Texans. This is going to be a destination park for families. You know….. All those families that travel in the winter when the kids are in school…… To a small fishing town……
We, as winter Texans bring our families here. Our kids/grandkids come and stay in the park over holidays. But apparently that's not family enough for them.
And how about this. The regional manager, who dresses like a slob and hasn’t ever spent a night in an RV, said “I hate having to dress down to come here and deal with the Trailer Trash!” WHAT???? Really??? She doesn’t realize (or doesn’t care) that all of us trailer trash have enough money to be away from our homes for 4-6 months out of the year and spend time in Rockport. We bring a LOT of money into this park and community. She’s absolutely clueless about the RV Community as a whole. And clueless as to how to run an RV Park.
Don’t plan on receiving any mail while you’re here. No UPS, No Fedex, No USPS, no Amazon, nothing. They will not accept it (this was just announced). In our 4 years of full time RVing we have never been to a park that won’t accept a package for you. The only mail they will receive is for the park models. So, if you live here, on a permanent basis, in and RV you can’t get mail.
The clubhouse is now only open during business hours. Guests (permanent residents) can no longer use it in the evening for card or game playing. They’re planning on turning it into an event center for weddings. The bride room is a joke! The little (and I mean little) loveseat and dressing table are fit for a 7 year old. The makeup mirror is maybe 10” tall and about as wide. There isn’t even a full length mirror in the room. You can no longer use the kitchen in the clubhouse. There was breakfast every Saturday (open to anyone that wanted to come including people in the community) that was done by volunteers. RJourney went into the kitchen and threw away things that were personally owned by these volunteers without enlisting their help to organize things.
They closed down the sewing room where we made hundreds of quilts for local charities. We raised money and donated thousands of dollars to local charities. Anything that doesn’t make the park money they’re getting rid of. Activities, pot lucks, sewing room, Saturday breakfast, library (thousands of books are being disposed of) etc.
Their fix for the roads was a little tar and chipseal…… really? It’s already looking bad and is horrible to drive and walk on. They only did the parking area around the clubhouse. Most of the roads in the park need to be fixed.
Plan on paying a$200 deposit (not unreasonable), but also plan on paying your entire 1st month rent if you’re planning a long stay. Oh, wait, that’s only for some people. Other people have been asked to pay for their entire stay. And others have only been required to put down a deposit. Read their 9 page contract carefully. I guarantee there are things in it you won’t like!
Over 80% (that's over 50 families) of long time winter Texans will not be returning to the park next winter. This new owner has torn apart the biggest family that the park will ever see. It’s so sad. Oh, and in their comment back they said that we are a small group and have been asked to not return. Well, we were not asked to not return. On the contrary, they were disappointed that we weren't returning.
Are they deliberately trying to run this park into the ground? Kind of feels like it.
ScoutThe audacity of these new owners to blame all of the upheaval on the guests that have been coming here for years and leaving themselves spotless is shameless. They moved in, tore this park to shreds and are now saying it’s all our fault. Why, may I ask, would we decide not to have our mail delivered here? Why would we beg to have the roads fixed and only pretty up the ones around the clubhouse? Why would we close the clubhouse to park guest use and rent it to strangers? Why would we staff the front office with people that are not only unfriendly, but don’t seem to know what the word hospitality means?
We have people that have lived in this park for over 10 years, survived hurricane Harvey, but are now talking about selling their home. Shame on you RJourney.
