    Portland RV Park

    Cheapest Monthly Site in Corpus Christi and Portland

    All bills included. Nothing fancy here, no amenities but they do have wifi and it's included at no additional cost. Nice sized dumpster has come in handy a couple of times.

    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

    Padre Balli County Park

    Best deal in Texas

    I love this site Best in Texas, you can see and hear the ocean from your tent, and its on the Island so there are a lot of attractions for visitors. The price for tent campers is $20 day or $125 weekly & it includes power, water and single private bathrooms and single private showers. You can only stay 14 days, then you have to leave for a day at least, but then you can come back for another 14 days. The showers and bathrooms are cleaned a couple times a day. There is no shade, but it has a couple ponds that make it a nice atmosphere. The office staff are the best in the business, bar none, I cant express how awesome they are. It has RV and tent camping, and it is always peaceful. Never seen any rowdy campers, and there are a lot of county park workers doing stuff so it is well monitored for trouble of any kind. They dont harass you though like a lot of campgrounds. You have a gate code and wifi, although the wifi leaves a lot to be desired at the moment. The beach is just across the street, and its a really fun part of the beach with a lot of things going on- people are friendly and there are a lot of things to do on the main road. It is on Padre Island, so you have to take a long bridge to get on the island from Corpus Christi, and the view is awesome on that bridge, but with all the attractions here on the island, you dont really need to go off the island for much.
