TravelerWe had a great stay at the park. We stayed there for 2 weeks for a baseball tournament. Has a wide, spacious area with plenty of room. There is also a bay area where you can fish and relax. The location is convenient, with easy access to the main road. Overall, a nice place to stay.
GuideWe stayed at Portland RV Park for a weekend while attending an event in downtown Corpus Christi, and the location couldn't have worked out better. It's just a quick drive across the bridge, but what really made this stay memorable was the water access. One morning I launched my kayak directly from the park and paddled across the bay to downtown Corpus Christi, tying up at one of the public docks. It's definitely not for inexperienced paddlers because of boat traffic and changing conditions, but if you're comfortable on the water, it's a really fun adventure. Even if you don't want to paddle across the bay, there's a brand-new public boat ramp just down the road on the same side of the highway. It has plenty of parking, floating docks, an excellent launch, and even a fish cleaning station, making this a fantastic place to stay if you bring a kayak or boat. The park itself was clean, quiet, and easy to access. The full hookups, reliable Wi-Fi, and contactless check-in made everything simple. I also noticed their monthly rates are an incredible value since they include electricity, water, sewer, trash, and Wi-Fi. It seems like a great option not only for a weekend like ours but also for anyone looking to spend an extended stay near Corpus Christi without paying resort prices. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area.
GuideWe stayed at Portland RV Park for a weekend while attending an event in downtown Corpus Christi, and the location worked out perfectly. It was an easy drive across the bridge, but what really made the trip memorable was discovering you can actually launch a kayak right from the property. I paddled across the bay and tied up at one of the downtown docks before heading to the event. I definitely wouldn't recommend it unless you're comfortable kayaking in open water and paying attention to boat traffic, but it was an awesome experience and a fun way to get into town. Even if kayaking isn't your thing, there's a brand-new public boat ramp and dock just down the road on the same side of the highway. It has plenty of parking, a nice launch, floating docks, and even a fish cleaning station, making it a great base camp for anglers and boaters. The park itself was clean, quiet, and well maintained, with full hookups and a very easy contactless check-in process. After seeing the property, it also struck me as an excellent option for longer stays. Their monthly rates are extremely competitive, and they include electricity, water, sewer, Wi-Fi, and trash, which is a fantastic value compared to many other parks in the area. We'll definitely stay here again the next time we're in the Corpus Christi area.
GuideThe only thing I'd add is as a long term resident here management does regularly fill in the ruts and things, but during rainy season it can get a little bumpy and muddy in certain areas, but as soon as it dries up they come along and fill it in with new road base.
Overall it's a great place to live long term on a budget. I know that my expectations are not the same as an RV resort here, But I get all my bills paid for, electric, water, sewer, WIFI, all included in the lot rent, and being so close to the ferry as Monique mentioned and being so close to HEB and Walmart, this place is ideal for someone wanting affordable housing in Aransas Pass. The managers are no nonsense and they kick people out when they need to, I've seen it a couple of times.
ScoutThe sites are quite nice...$50.00 per night seems like maybe should include a bit of amenities...ie: maps of the area...and a helpful staff would be awesome.
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.
