South Padre Island KOA

KOA do a nice job catering to the RV and family camper community. This location is no exception and is loaded with amenities and a great location as a full service RV resort.  This place is nearly full most of the year.   So, reservations are a must here.  The campground is located on the Laguna Madre side of the island near the bridge leading to South Padre Island.  They have a variety of camping option for RVs, campers, tents, and cabins.  The site has a great boat dock for those wanting to try their luck at fishing.  The ocean is about 1/2 mile walk across a couple of busy roads.  The sites have sewer, water, and power for even the largest RVs.  They even have spaces to walk your dog and a pet playground.   Like many RV resorts, you do not have any privacy and most of the sites are in the direct sun.   Tenters and campers without AC will need to time their visit around the hot spring and summer temperatures.  The night time temps average around 85 degrees and over 90 in the daytime in the summer.  The Pier 19 restaurant is next door.  Otherwise, you will need to bike or drive to restaurants.   

Nice Place for Big RVs

Very easy to get to and convenient to everything. 


beautiful campground and great location

We have stayed at this park twice and it's been fantastic each time!  The bathrooms and showers are always very clean.  The outdoor pool is a nice size and clean. 

  

Some of the sites have water views.  

  

My kiddo loved the playground and the ice cream socials on the weekends.

Beautiful

This campground is a very crowded KOA but we were still impressed.  While it was a challenge to get into our site because of the closeness of each rig, the staff guided us in safely.  We weren't sure how it would be being so crammed in but soon we discovered that this KOA is filled with seasonal folks who love to have a good time.  Every night there were happy hours, parties, and gatherings and the regulars were very welcoming. They also had a full agenda of activities from morning to night put on by the KOA.  From morning coffee to bingo to ice cream socials, you can stay busy here.  It's also in an easy to reach location, right near the entrance to SPI.  Overall a great stay!

Great Community in SPI

Beautiful area. Pull thru site was level and not too close proximity to the neighbors. Great staff. Clean facilities. The sunset was gorgeous. Close proximity to all SPI has to offer. I would definitely stay here again.

We spent 8 days here for a vacation.  The sites are small, but level and include FHU's and cable.  It was very crowded, but still relatively quiet.  A lot of winter Texans spend the season here, as the weather is really nice in winter.  There are not many places to walk your dog, but they do provide waste pickup bags and there is a small dog park.  The campground is right on the bay and there is a wonderful restaurant on a pier that is walking distance.  You can also take tours of the bay via boat here.  The county beach is pretty close, and you can walk or ride the free city bus to the end of the line (a few minutes ride) and get off and walk to the beach.  Very nice beach with modern facilities. You can also take the free city bus (bus stop is at campground entrance) into S Padre island or over the bridge to the mainland.

Crowded But Well Kept and Great Restaraunt

Can't beat the price and the location!  Nearby to South Padre 
Island Bay, amenities offered were very nice (pool, laundry room, game room, store). Would definitely stay here again, even with the tight spaces, since our RV neighbors are typically very friendly.
