The best pools
The 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.

Bay View, a great place to stay in Coastal Bend Texas!
Bay 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.

Made up rules; gossip spreads
A weekend trip this place is fine but any longer you must know this: Rules are made up as the days go and depending on who's working and who you get close with. The people that are long term seem to influence the rule making based off what benefits them. It's almost like high school. No one keeps to them selves, if a situation or problem is brought to the manager or office there is no privacy it becomes the talk of the day over morning coffee, creating gossip and leaving people outcasted. The bathrooms and restrooms don't get changed or Maintained daily. Went a week with no refill on hand soap and constantly walking in on opened canned food with ants. The washers are fine if you don't mind people with pets using them to clean up after thier animals leaving fur behind. I use beads, tide rinse, softner, detergent and still would come out smelling like animals. So if your ok with that then the washers would be fine for you. Half the dryers don't dry. And several times people's clothes have been thrown out so soneone else can use the washers or dryers. The pool is cute but extremely small basically truly getting to know the other people by touching. No one picks up after thier dogs yet its in the policy but again the rules apply to some not all and made up as the days goes. So again this place is great for a weekend stay.

Great RV park in Rockport, TX
Staying at this RV park was an absolute pleasure. The large, beautifully maintained sites gave us plenty of room to spread out and truly relax. With two sparkling pools, we never felt crowded—each one offered a different atmosphere, from quiet lounging to family fun. The park is packed with activities, and there’s always something happening, whether you want to join a game, attend an event, or simply enjoy the lively atmosphere. What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. Staff and guests alike were friendly, welcoming, and genuinely fun to be around. We left feeling refreshed, connected, and already planning our next stay. Highly recommended.

Very rustic
About half of the people live here long term, some very long term. There are zero restrictions on the rv. It’s a field, sandy loam covered in weeds. The spots have no gravel, concrete, firm ground, just deep ruts from previous vehicles. The dumpster is not hidden, and it’s surrounded by trash furniture and lumber on the ground around it. It’s very quiet. It’s located 1.5 miles to the ferry. There is no one on site. There is no gate or fence. But it’s tucked in the back of a neighborhood. The management company has 7 properties and can be reached at the one that’s listed in the confirmation email.
I do feel safe. The neighbors are polite. Dogs are kept on leash. Cute feral(?) neighborhood cats hang around the place. Each site does have electric, water, and sewer. The WiFi is the best! I work from home and haven’t even set up my Starlink.

Beach front camping
There is a $10 entrance fee per vehicle. This beachfront campground is perfect for stargazing. We arrived at our camp stop after 5 pm. There are plenty of camping spaces. There are restrooms right before you turn onto the beach. There are showers and restrooms 3 minutes' drive up the road.

Bay View RV Resort
Perfect Family Getaway! Great Staff & Location
Our family had an amazing stay at Bay View RV Resort! The friendly staff made us feel incredibly welcome from the moment we arrived. We rented a clean, comfortable park model and a cottage, giving us the perfect mix of togetherness and personal space. The kids loved the large pool and the quick car ferry ride over to Port Aransas Beach. Located just a short drive from Rockport Beach, this park is a clean, affordable, and convenient coastal base. We’ll definitely be back!
Guide to Robstown
Camping sites near Robstown, Texas provide access to both Gulf Coast waters and inland lakes within a 30-60 minute drive. The region sits at an elevation of less than 100 feet above sea level and experiences humid subtropical conditions with winter temperatures averaging 60-70°F during the day. Most campsites in this coastal plains region have minimal tree cover, requiring campers to bring their own shade structures during summer months.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Lake Corpus Christi State Park Campground offers good fishing access with an aluminum floating fishing pier and fish cleaning facilities. A camper noted, "Not too much hiking here, but you can also walk the roads. Beautiful CCC building. Saw turtles near it in the lake. The campground has a good view of the water and is near the fishing pier."
Beach activities: Mustang Island State Park Campground provides direct beach access approximately 45 minutes from Robstown. "You can drive right on the beach like a highway, in fact people do even in big rigs. You can park right on the beach," according to one visitor's experience.
Wildlife viewing: Family-friendly wildlife observation opportunities exist at several area campgrounds. One camper at Lake Corpus Christi State Park mentioned, "We camped with 2 kids and a dog and had a great time. There was fishing and a lake some were swimming in. We searched for wildlife and made s'mores."
What campers like
Clean facilities: Lake Corpus Christi State Park Campground maintains well-kept restrooms and grounds. A visitor reported, "Great camping area. Pull through camping pads. Clean sites fire ring grill combos. Nice lake clean restrooms. Small town is really close if you need something."
Water views: Campsites with waterfront locations remain popular in the Robstown area. A camper at Mustang Island State Park described, "One side is the bay and the other is the ocean, lovely water views everywhere. Some of the beach shelters are pretty cool but everything is still exposed to the weather (heat, sun, wind) and your neighbors."
Affordability: Budget-conscious campers appreciate the reasonable rates at regional parks. One visitor to Lake Corpus Christi State Park mentioned, "Only $25 for full hookups, $15 for just water and electric, $10 for tents, $5 day fee. Lots of shade, lots of room in the FCU sites."
What you should know
Site conditions: Campgrounds vary significantly in site quality and layout. At Mustang Island State Park Campground, a camper warned, "I'm not sure who came up with the layout of the sites here but it is beyond bizarre. The utilities are on the wrong side of camper and your site is behind your camper in a shared space."
Variable water levels: Lake levels fluctuate seasonally, affecting boat access and swimming areas. A camper at Lake Corpus Christi State Park observed, "Water is really low so no boat access, still beaches though. Surprisingly nice place."
Bug preparation: Coastal locations experience significant insect activity. One camper at Sea Breeze RV Community Resort reported, "Due to the location though, bring bug spray! We got eaten up by the mosquitoes even with bug spray - they are huge and there's a ton of them!"
Tips for camping with families
Pack for exposure: Lack of natural shade requires preparation. A camper at Mustang Island State Park advised, "Don't expect much from this state park. It's basically just a beach. There are camping sites. For RVs. There are no trees at the camp sites. So if you go in the hot months, you'd better have a canopy."
Wildlife activities: Wilderness Lakes RV Resort offers family-friendly activities near water. "We stayed here in a 40' fifth wheel for 2 winters. Loved the area. Driving distance to Corpus, Port Aransas, Padre, Victoria, King ranch, We visited all these places. Right next to Corpus Christi Lake & park."
Cabin alternatives: Some families prefer cabin accommodations during extreme weather. A visitor to Lake Corpus Christi State Park shared, "Stayed in a cabin out here and although it was very busy, it still felt like you had a bit of privacy."
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose sites carefully based on size requirements. At Hitching Post RV Park, a camper reported, "The pads are gravel but relatively level. They are easily accessed. We would definitely stop here again when passing through."
Hookup quality: Full hookup reliability varies between parks. A visitor to Puerto Del Sol RV Park noted, "Enjoyed a night here before visiting USS Lexington and Port Aransas. My site was right on the gulf and the view was great. Very friendly office staff. Level site with full hookups."
Ant precautions: Prepare for ant issues at coastal campgrounds. At Sea Breeze RV Community Resort, one RVer warned, "We ended up having an infestation of fire ants in our water bay that we're currently trying to get rid of. There are ants all over the park. Be careful where you step and bring diatomaceous earth and fire ant killer to sprinkle around."
