"Tents are allowed at Surfside sites but they are more difficult to get reservations then at the tent sites a couple miles from the surf. we stayed in the tent sites away from the surf."
"Friendly staff, clean facilities, and great beach walks definitely contribute to a positive impression. It's wise to prefer the bay side sites for a quieter atmosphere and fewer crowds."
"Very clean, spacious, and literally steps from a private beach. Great location, close to the fishing pier and all Galveston has to offer"
"It is as close to the beach as you would want. Nice cement drives and pads! The beach is away from the crowds. Not far from stores and piers in Galveston. I will be returning to this little gem!"

"With what this resort offers, it is more than worth the drive and price!
I will say, this year there were just a couple things that put a damper on the trip, that we’ve never experienced before."

"This was such a blissful place to start my Texas snowbird trip. As a solo female traveler in a campervan I felt so incredibly safe and welcomed to this campground."
"The park is right off the main highway, so there is a bit of road noise, but nothing too bad. A short walk behind the RV park and you are on the ocean. "
ScoutIt was a quick overnight visit, so the flat concrete pad with a tree and grass made for a nice reprieve from the Interstate travel! On the river with cure cottages available for rent as well. Dominoes delivery right to the gate!
TravelerBeautiful location. You can park right up to the water. Wind was blowing around 30mph from the south so the waves were amazing to listen and watch. Kid had a blast too! Only gave 4 stars because of the biting flies... They were swarming out dog, we had to keep her in the tent most of the time.
GuideListening to the ocean waves is relaxing enough. I can hang out here for a week. Is green and spacious. The beach is few hundred feet away. There’s power and water. The site is level. Is sooo nice. Once the sun goes down. An army of vampire mosquitos descend on you and your pets. We were enjoying being outside and we had to get into our trailer. Spent a while killing them. Good thing we had walked the dogs. In the trailer the vampire mosquitos would be sucking on you as you killed them. They would be on you all over. Once sunrise came. They were gone. Even with a breeze they came.
LegendWe love this beach. It’s our third time staying here, and each time it’s been quiet, peaceful, and hardly any other campers. We worried a little about the tide this time, but we kept an eye on it and it didn’t come near us. We stayed here in early December without a permit, and it was fine. The permits you buy are valid from January to December and we had heard that they don’t really enforce the permit rule this late in the year. The sheriff drove by a few times, as well as some beach workers and others who looked to be in an official capacity, and nobody stopped to check our permit. Nice sunrise and an amazing sunset behind the houses. Good cell reception. Beach isn’t really flat, it slopes down towards the water, but it’s close enough.
RangerStayed here overnight for a catch up on groceries, laundry, and some errands. Staff was great & has a large onsite laundry room that takes card. Also has daily trash valet that is nice. Only reason I’m giving 4 stars is there are some cars parked along the road inside and it’s a tight campground. If you are a large rig could be a little more difficult to maneuver through & the private shower was dirty (there were a lot of kids at the pool and I believe they had been playing in it). You are right next to interstate, but it’s convenient to stores and easy to get in & out of gate.
ScoutEverything seems updated and well maintained with a covered pavilion at each site and beach access close by.
ScoutVery quiet so far but we’re here through the week! Lots of people are leaving trash behind! Please don’t be that person and ruin it for everyone! Friendly atmosphere quiet beaches! Great place to camp
RangerI was surprised this campground had not been reviewed. We stayed here in Jan '24 on the way to Houston for business. Grand Pines is located on I-10 southeast of Beaumont TX. Sites are all full hook-up, back-in concrete 60' x 20' leaving room for us to park our tow car. Grand Pines has high speed WIFI and free laundry facilities. Grounds were well kept when we were there. Sites are a bit close together. They may now have more long term usage than transient. Still, it is a great stop over to catch up on domestic duties.
TravelerThere were approximately 8 boondocks here, there is adequate space to accommodate more. The weekends are loud and busy, during the week it calms down and gets quiet. There are also paramotors that fly over head, they are fun to watch.
Turn on to Rettilon road going towards the Gulf to get here.
