    Galveston Island KOA Holiday

    The KOA is beautiful. It has the feel of a southerneque plantation meets the beach. The lazy river is a fun additional. Everything is clean. Mosquitoes are our of hand but would stay here again !

    The Breeze Hotel & RV Park

    Small, nice, beachfront !

    Very nice place. Only 14 spaces all with concrete pad, picnic table, and full hookups. Very clean and well maintained. Just steps from the beach with an outdoor shower to clean off the sand before you head home. Also a 6(?) room hotel on site. Staff is always available. The company who does the lawn care accidentally cut both my sewer hoses and The Breeze owners had them replaced in 5 minutes!

    Medical Center RV Resort

    Clean, quiet, and inviting

    Wide roads to maneuver and large spaces made it easy to get in and get setup, no cars clogging the lanes.  Private rooms in the bathhouse let you feel comfortable and not like a locker room.

    Everyone was so friendly and nice and the park feels like you are not in the city despite so close to everything.  At night the string lights overhead give a warm and comforting feeling to walk around and enjoy the cool evening air.

    No trees or picnic tables at the sites, but, we had our own table and chairs to use.

    Highly recommend to all!

    Brazoria Beach

    Great spot during the middle of the week

    Does not have the white sands of South Padre, but not much of a chance of getting stuck unless you really try. Dodge 2wd 1500 pulling 10 ft trailer with no issues getting in and out. Very quite during the week. There is some trash around and that is sad. We picked up every day but still needs help fosterm all. Weekend it get a bit crowed and becouse of the hard pack sand, some people we're going alot faster then the 15 mile an hour speed limit. Weelend also brings vender trucks coming down the beach all the time. We were a bit irritated at 1st but then bought ice-cream LOL  We live in Fort Worth and the trip here is about 200 miles shorter then South Padre so it will be a great place to hit when we dont want to travel that extra 200

    Galveston Island State Park Campground

    very positive camp

     It sounds like you had a memorable experience during your stay! 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. Watching interesting birds adds to the charm, but it's essential to stay cautious of snakes, as you mentioned encountering a rattler. Making reservations in advance seems like a good tip to avoid any hassle, especially during busy weekends. If you need any assistance with your writing tasks, consider checking out https://payforessay.net/ for reliable help. Additionally, having reservations in advance can provide peace of mind and ensure a smoother experience during your stay, allowing you to focus more on enjoying the surroundings and less on logistical concerns.

    Bolivar Flats Dispersed Camping

    Great Sunrises . Not Busy In Winter

    Bolivar Beech: A nice experience during the week. However, there is lots of activity on the sunny weekends. I have heard that it is very crowded with campers during spring break and in the summer. Also, there is a gated community being built behind the section of beach near Retilion Rd. I spoke with two city officials with Nuisance Abatement. There is talk of instituting a 2 week limit.
    (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

    (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer.)

    Overall Rating: 4 - would be a 5 but for heavy usage of day users during sunny weekends. Many are great. Few are not. One child came behind our camper and helped herself to our collection of shells while her mom watched. Careful of your belongings.

    Price 2023: $10 to the right of Rettilon Rd. Free to the left of Rettilon Rd. Security: None Usage during visit: Campers: Light this time of year Site Privacy: None Site Spacing: Plenty of room to spread out and most campers do. ‘Pad’ surface: Sand Reservations: No Campground Noise: Noisy on weekends. Quiet, for the most part at night, but for the occasional party persons.
    Road Noise: None Through Traffic in campground: Lots of folks driving the beach on the sunny weekends. Minimal during the week. Dispersed Camping . Potable Water Available: Bring what you need. Generators: Allowed. Bathroom: One pit toilet in our area, at the beach end of Rettilon Rd . It is very full after the weekend. Bring your own TP. It runs out.
    Showers: No Cell Service (AT&T): 2 to 3 bars Setting: Beach, dispersed Recent Weather: S50s at night and 60s during the day.
    Solar: Great Host: No Rig Size: Largest.

    My Happy Place

    Friendly w Satisfied Campers

    I spoke with someone who is camping here for one month. He loves this place. Clean, friendly, and good location., He says. I spoke with the owner over the phone. He is very, very friendly. If I was looking for a monthly residence, I would definitely be checking this place out. I’m not sure if they offer weekly rates or not.

    Fort Anahuac Park

    Decent Spot on the water

    Good little park off the beaten path. You can camp with water views. Flush toilets with running water, but those mosquitoes will eat you alive.

    Beachside RV Park

    Best place in Bolivar Peninsula

    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. Nancy and Butch are the kindest campground hosts I've ever encountered. They ensured to check in with me regularly during my two week stay, the bathroom, shower and laundry facilities were maintained consistently, and the dog park and closeness to the beach was perfect for my dog's daily exercise. For the reasonable price, I felt this campground delivered above and beyond. If I hadn't scheduled another campground, I would have stayed longer. Thank you to all at Beachside RV. You made my stay memorable.

    At the Beach RV Park

    Great beach spot. Above water

    Easy set up. Friendly host. No facilities but all hook ups. Close quarters on rigs. On the water so it’s all good regardless. A little messy. Needs some repairs on utilities. But. On the water.

    Great Spot—Busy!

    We stayed here almost 10 days. Did some jockeying around because we didn’t have reservations. Friendly staff, clean facilities, great beach walks, large sites. We prefer the bay side sites—quieter and fewer people. Lots of interesting birds to see, and watch out for snakes! We saw a big rattler on the boardwalk but we gave it space and it moved off right away. I would recommend a reservation to save hassles as this place fills up on the weekends.

    Medical Center RV Resort

    Clean grounds with services and decent location to downtown.

    Besides the road construction right in front that makes it a bit confusing to get into, the place is VERY clean, clean laundry, guest area with free donuts on Mondays. Large spots with all services.

    About 15 minutes from museum district and downtown. Shuttle to medical center for free.

    Sandpiper RV

    Loved the Sandpiper RV location. Nice access to the beach and really nice morning walks on the beach. Has amenities like showers and laundry room. There is also a pool. The only issue we had was the mosquitoes. There were so many and sitting outside was difficult. We did buy some things to help. Not sure it was very effective though.

    Double Bayou Park

    Nice free camping

    Free camping, just send a picture of your 🆔. Plenty of room, no sites just pop your tent wherever. No electric or hookups. They do have a restroom with flush toilets. Don't forget the "OFF" tons of mosquitoes. Overall a nice place.

    Houston East RV Resort

    No school age children allowed on the property

    This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard from an RV park…no school-age children allowed on the property! I didn’t stay there with my family and I won’t stay there.

    Rio RV Park at Turtle Bayou

    Great spot!

    Stayed one night and was pleasantly surprised with what the park had to offer. Great views of the water a short walk from my stall, fully renovated and clean bathrooms and decent separation between the sites. My site backed onto the highway but wasn’t very loud. I’d stay here again for the affordable price of $26

    Eric & Jay’s RV Resort

    Lovely, heartedly welcoming run place!

    We’re new to RV camping. This beautiful place was the second stop and the heart warming welcome was awesome. I would say it’s all the little extras which give that great holiday feel: lovely deee coffee, all amenities and spa etc you can use 24/7 and: the property is spotless and clean. The outdoor fire place with swings and nice seating area are an beautiful extra. Thank you!

    Jamaica Beach RV Resort

    Repeat visitor- missed the mark this time.

    This is our 4th visit to this resort. My entire family looks forward to this trip each year. There is a similar setup much closer to home, minus the beach but with the addition on a wibit course, that would charge the same rates in a weekend, as we get during a peak summer season for a week. 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. People parking along the narrow driveways or along the narrow roads, making it difficult to drag our rig in, was a negative mark as soon as we pulled in. Again, we’ve never had this issue before, but it made things difficult as the paths are just big enough for one vehicle. The second negative was a charter bus with a bunch of kids of all ages, pulled in. It wouldn’t have been too big of an issue except, this kids were WILD!! They were not RV guests. They came with a church just for the day. Which would have been fine, except they flooded the lazy river, and had no etiquette or manners. They jumped in the river on top of people, we’re throwing footballs, frisbees, and tubes- hitting guests with the objects, and most of the rv guests evacuated the area until they departed. I realize this is a business and they can do with it what they want, but when I’ve spent $500 to sleep in said resort, I hope for the amenities to be to MY advantage and safely. My children were hit with many of the objects thrown.

    Now, on to the positives. Like I mentioned, this is our 4th summer spent at this resort. We truly do enjoy it. There are so many things available to do, you truly don’t have to leave, if you didn’t want to. Multiple pools, a jacuzzi, sauna, lazy river, mini golf, movies, bouncy pillow, and a brisk walk to the beach. That doesn’t include the multiple bath houses, laundry facilities, and the pavilion. We were disappointed to see the original hot tub filled in with soil, plants and mulch, but figured there must have been a really expensive issue with it, which it why it was filled in and an external one was brought in. Granted, it didn’t seem that the new jacuzzi was operating properly, as it didn’t get hot enough. But it was a nice additional, all the same. The gates to the pool and splash pad were locked, making it difficult for kids to go back and forth from the splash pad to the pool. We mentioned it to the office, but when we left the pool area 4 hours later, no one ever unlocked the gate.

    The grounds are kept up daily. There’s always someone mowing, weedeating , or inspecting things to ensure everything is tidy. Most guests follow the guidelines and keep their sites neat.

    We were put up against the road, which we were t thrilled with. It’s a good distance from the amenities, especially since we don’t have a golf cart, but it wasn’t as noisy or as bad as we thought it might be.

    There are great places to eat nearby. There are also a couple of little stores, should you need anything!
