We spent the month of May 2026. Everything was great, we were in site #166 in the back of the campground. The neighbors around us were all polite and friendly. The pool & hot tub was nice and clean. My wife liked the laundry facilty. I liked they have a free dog wash station. They have a stocked catch & release pond which has bass, catfish and bluegill. The campground was close to local stores. We enjoyed it so much were going back for the cold winter months.

Park manager is not friendly to guests
I do not recommend staying here. I was bothered by park manager repeatedly. When I stayed here manager was nosy. He only cares about his reputation and how his park looks, he does not like kids and sent out messages to the people staying here recommending them to call Child Protective services if they see any kids playing outside. Bathrooms were frequently dirty, especially on Saturday and Sunday. I am never staying here again. I stayed with my wife and four children. This park is NOT family friendly. We would get mass text messages detailing various different authorities to call to complain about things as simple as children playing outside. The policing by the manager and Clear Lake Shores/Kemah was very excessive. Police would stop at people's homes at midnight to ask for directions to calls where guests should not be bothered by police absent involvement in the call. I saw this happen multiple times. A friend of mine who used to stay out in the park alleged she was assaulted and reported it and retaliation/harassment twice. The manager did not want to assist her by making the man leave or provide video evidence to have the man prosecuted for making it appear he was going to ram her ebike coming up the driveway. There is a convicted sex offender in the park. There were recently criminals staying in the cabins on and off as they do not do background checks. I do not reside in the park anymore. Lee is only concerned about maintaining a resort-style image and his own reputation and ignored significant guest safety concerns, allowing people to be touched against their will and harassed with slurs and name calling. Someone should not be called a B or F by another guest and then that harassment is ignored by management. Management should be addressing those situations. They need to address the steel rebar and unsafe wood hand railing on the docks before some gets seriously injured by the metal rods sticking out of the shore line. A child is going to fall off that pier and there will be a lawsuit to follow if that happens. One guests was even firing a projectile weapon out of his cabin door. The person later disappeared. I observed it when I was taking trash out. The park is not lgbtq friendly. If you take concerns about someone calling you by homophobic slurs to the park manager, the park manager will not get involved or assist you in preventing further anti-gay or lesbian insults being spoken against you by other ill spirited guests. I saw this happen to someone. It was mostly Republicans and rich people passing through. Edit: after I left the manager asked another guest that is staying there where I live. The manager appears to be trying to get at me personally since I have left 2 reviews for his park staying my experience.

Close to the beach
I was in a beach site with no hookups. Site was level and paved. But no bathrooms near by. Beach is a short walk. Wind was constant and it rained often. Staff was nice and was inexpensive for an out of stater.

Anna W.ScoutBlue Water RV Resort
Be Prepared !
It is a well-maintained resort, unfortunately when we were there, the restaurant was not open which was a disappointment. there are a few restaurants a short car ride away. Camp store is well stocked. More importantly, the property sits between two areas of wetlands, so be prepared for the mosquitos in the evening, they are everywhere! Be prepared, bring your own Wi-Fi, the resort Wi-Fi is not strong enough to support streaming connectivity or telecommuting. Electricity, surge protector is a must...ours activated three times in a two day stay, shut our camper off, the protector marked it as a brown out.... granted there was a windstorm but better safe than sorry. We ended up having to cut our stay in half because we needed to take our camper to the factory as we had some wind damage, naturally I did not expect any refund and did not receive one

What to do

What you should know
Summer bug activity: Insects can be problematic, particularly at dusk. "The only downside? The mosquitoes!! Right at dusk they attacked with a vengeance. Be prepared for that!" warns Ashley C. about Galveston Island State Park. Pack insect repellent regardless of which property you choose.
Seasonal considerations: Winter visitors will find a different atmosphere at cabin rentals. At Stella Mare, "Lots of longer term retired guests over winter months, but they like to party!" reports Michelle G. Many properties offer reduced rates during off-season months.
Beach proximity varies: Some "beachside" properties require crossing roadways. "The beach was right across the street, beach access was a quick golf cart, or walk," explains Jackie H. about Galveston Island KOA Holiday. Other properties advertise beach access but may require short drives.

Budget planning: USA RV Resorts Marina Bay offers cabin accommodations with different price points. "Cement pads throughout. Cabins available as well," mentions Lynn N. Families should budget for both accommodation costs and nearby attractions in Kemah and Galveston.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose locations based on your preferences. "The perimeter sites are smaller than the pull through, but are more private," advises April Y. about Stella Mare. Many properties offer different cabin styles and locations within their grounds.
Supply considerations: Most cabin rentals provide limited kitchenware. "We needed a place for 3 nights near Bacliff, TX and this was it. When we arrived the office was closed but the maintenance worker escorted us to a site and said we could register later," explains Russell B. about Jackie's Place RV Resort. Bring essential cooking tools and supplies.
Reservation timing: Book well in advance for prime locations. "If you plan to visit during peak season, make reservations in advance to secure a good spot, as this campground can get busy. Especially if you want a cabin," advises John E. about Galveston Island KOA Holiday.
