Best Campgrounds near Fulton, TX

Coastal camping options near Fulton, Texas range from state parks to private RV resorts, all within close proximity to Aransas Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.

Access to water views and fishing opportunities represent significant draws for the Fulton-Rockport area, with many campgrounds situated along the shoreline. "This is mostly a snowbird camp with a few left over for the rest. Nice pool area, walking distance to the water. Easy highway access to Rockport and the ferry access to Port Aransas," noted one visitor about Sandollar Resort. Weather considerations include hurricane season from June through November, with many RV parks catering primarily to winter visitors seeking milder temperatures. Several campgrounds explicitly identify as 55+ communities during winter months but welcome families during summer.

    Portland RV Park

    SUPER close to Everything, VERY Affordable, All Utils Included

    Portland RV Park is a very simple, well-kept park. The owner maintains it as nice as possible, but it’s not a resort— it’s a practical, affordable place for people who work in Corpus Christi, Portland, Aransas Pass, or anywhere in the area and want to be central to everything happening.

    Rates are just$600/month with all bills included, making it one of the best values in the region. The park offers a great view of the bay, and you can even fish right off the back of the property! 

    It’s just down the street from the new public boat dock for easy access to the water. If you’re looking for a quiet, affordable spot close to work and the water, Portland RV Park is a solid choice— simple, central, and convenient for long-term stays or Winter Texans!

    Aransas Pass RV & Storage

    Very Affordable Monthly and Weekly Sites, Close to Walmart and HEB

    Excellent monthly rate with all utilities included. 

    The site was spacious enough for my 5th wheel and truck side-by-side. 

    Roads are easy to navigate since it’s just one big loop, and the internet worked well. 

    Conveniently located only 5 minutes from Walmart and HEB. We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return next summer for a month or two
