RangerVery friendly staff, about 30 minutes after arrival the power on the mail pole to our section of the RV park went bad. It was Sunday afternoon. The staff went into high gear and moved 9 RVs to different areas. Some of the RVers were away from their rig and they called them so they would come back and move their rig.
TravelerLocated on the Coastal Bend, Rockport Texas. RV park with lots of trees. Has 2 pools, clubhouse and pickleball court. Clean restrooms and showers. Nice people.
ScoutThe best pools and hot tub around, separate adult and family pool areas. Wonderful RV community, restrooms and showers are very clean. A great clubhouse with pool tables,card games, poker, dice games and ping pong table. They have a pickle ball court.
ScoutBay View is a beautiful park with large, unique sites and gorgeous trees that make the whole place feel peaceful. The people are friendly, and the bathrooms and shower houses are immaculate— some of the cleanest I’ve seen. For the quality you get, the prices are very reasonable. A great place to stay. Travelling in a 5th wheel and Silverado 350.
ScoutA weekend trip this place is fine but any longer you must know this: Rules are made up as the days go and depending on who's working and who you get close with. The people that are long term seem to influence the rule making based off what benefits them. It's almost like high school. No one keeps to them selves, if a situation or problem is brought to the manager or office there is no privacy it becomes the talk of the day over morning coffee, creating gossip and leaving people outcasted. The bathrooms and restrooms don't get changed or Maintained daily. Went a week with no refill on hand soap and constantly walking in on opened canned food with ants. The washers are fine if you don't mind people with pets using them to clean up after thier animals leaving fur behind. I use beads, tide rinse, softner, detergent and still would come out smelling like animals. So if your ok with that then the washers would be fine for you. Half the dryers don't dry. And several times people's clothes have been thrown out so soneone else can use the washers or dryers. The pool is cute but extremely small basically truly getting to know the other people by touching. No one picks up after thier dogs yet its in the policy but again the rules apply to some not all and made up as the days goes. So again this place is great for a weekend stay.
ScoutStaying at this RV park was an absolute pleasure. The large, beautifully maintained sites gave us plenty of room to spread out and truly relax. With two sparkling pools, we never felt crowded—each one offered a different atmosphere, from quiet lounging to family fun. The park is packed with activities, and there’s always something happening, whether you want to join a game, attend an event, or simply enjoy the lively atmosphere. What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. Staff and guests alike were friendly, welcoming, and genuinely fun to be around. We left feeling refreshed, connected, and already planning our next stay. Highly recommended.
ScoutOur family had an amazing stay at Bay View RV Resort! The friendly staff made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. We rented a clean, comfortable park model and a cottage, giving us the perfect mix of togetherness and personal space. The kids loved the large pool and the quick car ferry ride over to Port Aransas Beach. Located just a short drive from Rockport Beach, this park is a clean, affordable, and convenient coastal base. We’ll definitely be back!
RangerNice layout, well maintained but the wildlife was my favorite part
TravelerWe have been dry camping for a week and needed a rv park to dump, fill , charge batteries and do laundry. I called several everything parks and they didn’t want short term stays or was full. This park was happy to have us. Everything is clean and well maintained.
