"Is next to a busy road and we heard traffic all night."
ScoutEasy access to Rockport and Aransas Pass Texas. Only 10 minutes from Port Aransas Texas. Sites are large and quiet.
TravelerThis is mostly a snowbird camp with a few left over for the rest. Nice pool area, walking distance to the water(no beach). Easy highway access to Rockport (nice city park beach) and the ferry access to Port Aransas. Nice pads but the stickers in the back corner of the park were a problem for all of us, dog included.

We stayed here 16 days in a 34 ft. Travel Trailer. Our site had an outdoor kitchen, cement picnic table and benches and a lovely palapa. The resort grounds are gorgeous and very well maintained. There is a pool, hot tub, showers and gorgeous private beach. The sites are each individually owned and decorated. We enjoyed the nice walk, up and over the dunes on the boardwalk, right onto the beach.
Staff was super courteous and helpful. Grounds were kept clean. Great location, located between Corpus Christi& Port Aransas.
I can’t say enough about this amazing experience.We will be back! Excellently maintained RV resort!
GuideVery clean and scenic campground. Plenty of space between sites if you park away from the seafront. I personally wouldn’t want to be right by the ocean as it’s just a 5 min walk from the more peaceful sheltered sites. We had campsite 115 and were very happy with it. Close to bathrooms and easy access in and out. Lots to see in the area, and if you want the beach we’d recommend Port Aransas which is only about 30 mins away. That beach is dog friendly and nicer than the closer Rockport. The short ferry ride across is also fun and free. Dolphins alongside the ferry. The only negatives would be mosquitos and humidity. Both were manageable given when we went, but only just. I’d aim for early spring or late fall to try to minimize these.
GuideWe frequent this RV resort. It’s new to Port Aransas and recovered quickly after hurricane Harvey. It is adjacent to the nature preserve, which gives it a feeling of seclusion. This campground is close to restaurants and stores. We typically ride our bicycles around to eat, sightsee, or just enjoy the island. They recently opened a second area of the campground with its own pool, bathhouse/clubhouse and gym. All of the facilities are new, modern, and well maintained. The staff is friendly, helpful, and always available to help guests.
Port Aransas, Texas, offers a variety of pet-friendly camping options for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors with their furry companions.
