  Karankawa Camping Area — Goliad State Park

  Loudest campsite on earth

  Close to road, 9 million dogs barking all around, loud music after midnight. Awful.

  Malaquite Campground - Padre Island National Seashore

  Great beach camping!

  Awesome place to pull up the beach, listen to waves and make a fire. No trash collection so make sure you pack it out. Also, I did see some rats or something running around the dunes so just be aware

  Good luck getting your deposit back!

  Been trying for two months to get my deposit refunded. When I call they just give me the run a round. Campground was ok. Hot tub only worked two weeks of the two months I was there.

  I will visit again but not to stay. Just to get my deposit back. I paid it on time but they aren't responding in kind. There are many other places in this area. I suggest you stay at one that takes credit cards and fies business in this century.

  Bay View RV Resort

  Affordable Coastal Bend

  Bay View is at the northern end of the peninsula where Rockport-Fulton is. It's a little out of the way, but still within an easy drive of Port Aransas, Corpus Christi and all of the barrier islands. Granted, the park is shabby-chic, and a little short on chic. It does have 1 functional laundry house, 1 functional pool and a large community center. The sites are large and tree-shaded, the sites are widely spread apart. The monthly site rate is SO much less than anywhere in Port A! Give it a try!

  Malaquite Campground - Padre Island National Seashore

  Dry camping

  This is a national park. $25 to enter or free with the America the Beautiful pass. The campground is $14/day or $7 with the park pass. What I didn't know before I got here is that there's free camping right on the beach just after the visitor center. 14 day max stay.

  Gulf Waters RV Resort

  Steps from the beach

  Stayed here when a freak cold front came through complete with gale force winds. Although the internet service was effected, all other utilities remained online thankfully! As other reviews may have mentioned, this resort is comprised of privately owned lots, upgraded by the owners, and these are rented out when available. The site I stayed in was level, sewer 30/50 amp, water, and had a tiki hut with a wet sink, but I didn’t use the latter much because of the cold snap. 

  The resort sits in the middle of Mustang Island, so no walking to Padre or Port A. However, this makes it quiet and it is well cared for. I especially appreciated the beautiful mature palm trees, landscaping and the clean bath house with nice showers. There’s a laundry on site. $2 per load and the office has quarters. It’s quiet and friendly. If you stay 1 week or more, then there is a meter reading for the electric, on top of the rental fee. 

  The highlight for me was the proximity of this resort to the beach. Just a short walk to the boardwalk over the dunes and you’re there! Just beautiful. Very clean beach with portable potties available.

  Corpus Christi KOA

  Very Clean!!

  When you arrive, the KOA team member escorts you to your site. This eliminates someone being in your spot. The KOA offers free delivery of ice and bait and curbside trash pick up. I had a weird sound when turning on my propane. I called the office to see if by chance they knew what it could be. They sent over the site managers and they tightened up my propane line and checked my fridge to make sure all was good. Only downfall is the price visitors have to pay to visit ($10).

  Wilderness Oaks RV Resort

  Okay but next to airport with poor park drainage

  The previous reviewer is correct about the airport noise.

  Pros:

  • Our RV site was a back-in with plenty of room on a concrete pad with a picnic table. We were in the back row.

  • Our site did not have trees hanging over like a lot of sites (we have solar panels).

  Cons:

  • The campground wifi sucked. We relied more on our own Verizon wifi hotspot (we never assume park wifi is good).

  • Next to airport.

  • RV park, especially on eastern half, has seriously poor drainage. We were trapped in our RV lot, unable to leave, because the water was too deep for our Class A to go through without damage/mess of some sort.

  Not very Quiet !

  It is a Airport near here, and they take off every 3 to 5 minutes ! If that is not enough, than you have the major Hiway next to you ! But hey, what you expect for $ 20 ? Cause that much you pay with Pasport A.erica ?... The Staf, is very friendly.

  Malaquite Campground - Padre Island National Seashore

  Simple campground just a short walk from the beach

  We were in site 8 for 4 days. Sites are first come, first served and spacing varied from fairly well spaced to somewhat close, but appeared to all be fairly level. The beach side campsites were asphalt surrounded by grass and these filled up first. The campsites on the opposite side were basically just parking lot stalls and generally had several empty sites while we were there during the week. Showers were clean, if somewhat dated, but also rather chilly, i.e., no hot water. The beach was nice, but there was a lot of trash, debris and Man O’ Wars that had washed up. I found AT&T coverage to be essentially nonexistent here, without a signal booster. With out it, my iPhone fluctuated between no service and 1 bar, but no connectivity either way. However, with the booster, I was able to get 2-3 Bars of LTE service, with speeds up to 4.5 MB/s. Since there are no trees, satellite coverage is not an issue, so we didn’t try to get any OTA channels. When we pulled into the dump station, we noticed that one side had backed up on a previous dumper, so we used the other side, which worked fine. We notified the office, so presumably that has been resolved.

  Magnificent

  This was a great park. Camp on beach with a weekly fee of 25.00. Also has three paid camping no hookups but have dump station and water feel up. Beaches are clean and Park Rangers are a lot of help.

  Crummy CG

  Old, poorly maintained roads & pedestal. 50amp tripped breaker, so used 30amp. 

  Shower/toilets very nice.  IMO not worth $40/night.

  Karankawa Camping Area — Goliad State Park

  Lots of bugs

  The sites weren’t too bad, but there were a lot of ants and insects around that’s even more than usual. Definitely bring a tent screen. I don’t think it’s specific to the campsite as there were insects all around town, or probably due to the time of the year. Other than that, campgrounds were clean and easy to enter. Historic sites were close by and interesting.

  Wonderful and new

  We stay for three days and we wish could be more. Easy to park in spacious sites all facing water. You can enjoy fishing boating and a lot of other water activities. Absolutely beautiful and a great experience for all the family.

  Malaquite Campground - Padre Island National Seashore

  Miles of amazing beauty

  Make sure to fill up on gas, water and ice before heading out on the 63 miles of available beach! You can drive for hours along sparkling waves with shell laden sand, passing isolated camps and groups fishing. If you want privacy, this is it! You must take all you need The cell reception is spotty, around mile 25.5 if you walk towards the bayside you’ll get a signal best with Verizon, and at Mansfield Cut. Any Texas beach camping is not for the inexperienced... BEACHES ARE WINDY, CAMP LIKE YOU’RE IN A TORNADO! METAL POLE TENTS WITH SAND RATED STAKES, & SECURE EVERYTHING!! Solar yard lights are great to set perimeters to late night drivers. There are jellyfish, wear long pants or bring meat tenderizer for the stings!! The Turtle Patrol passes several times a day. Yes there is strewn garbage, it’s deposited every high tide from all around the world, bring a rake, garbage bag and a reality check. People do speed, pay attention. Showers, dumpsters and toilets are only at the entrance to the beach/Malaquite Visitors Center. This is our favorite place to go because of the privacy, beauty and the fishing. Nights are gorgeous with starry skies, waves, and a fire. Make the time to check this place out, sit and pretend you’re the only person on your private island, you will be hooked!
