The park was okay, easy check in, a lady escorted me to my site. Some interesting residents. I'm really upset that the Coast to Coast rate is 25.00, the regular rate is 28.00! I also have PPA but couldn't use it on the weekend, although they were no where near full. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a Coast to Coast rate. Like other reviewers: the amount of permanent residents seemed concerning at first, but their sites were kept up and very clean. Staff here was very friendly and took the time to give us advice on local eateries, etc. I also have to agree that this place was very tight for pulling a camper. We camped here in a 38' 5th wheel and if that end spot on the curve heading out to the exit had been occupied when we left, I think I would still be trapped there!! The bathhouse facilities were extremely clean (cleaned every morning in fact). They have individual bathrooms containing the toilet/showers/sinks that I thought was great and they had A/C. Being August, this was a plus! This park is also a little off the Corpus Christi "beaten path" which we liked. I gave this place an 8 due to the tight spots and paying for Wi-Fi. In 2009: I don't think anyone should be paying for Wi-Fi, and that includes hotels too. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

After staying one night at this park, my opinion about it changed a little bit. At first, I was turned off by the amount of permanenet residents living there (as their sites were NOT maintained very well and had quite a bit of stuff laying around), however, the staff was very friendly, the public grounds were adequately maintained, and the atmosphere was charming. I spoke to many of the park guests... no one had a negative thing to say about the park. The spaces are very narrow. One of the staff seemed put out by my truck being in the road DURING HOOKUP to leave, so this is why I rated the park as an 8. Otherwise, our stay was great! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Greyhound is a crowded city-type park with mostly long term residents. The restrooms are clean but small. It's okay for over night stay but not for the long-term. The park's best feature is the great 'real' Mexican restaurant across the street. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground gets 4 W's in Woodall's and I can't understand why.I was pretty shocked when I saw it. The host was very friendly and nice and told us that many first- time visitors are put off by the "trailer court" look of the park. (I know I certainly was.) It was a very small park and we were given a narrow spot to park and were soon hemmed in by 2 other rigs. It was a tight fit. Another really annoying feature were the speed bumps. I also thought it was a pretty steep price for the night. I think we will look for another park when visiting Corpus Christi. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great central location for just resting, visiting family and friends and sightseeing. There are unique stamped concrete picnic table pads. Our site was nice and large enough for our 38' motorhome and vehicle. The staff at Hatch RV make you feel like family. The pool was very nice and well maintained. We will definitely return to Hatch RV. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We spent 3 nights at Hatch RV Park. The entrance is a little steep, we didn't have a problem with our 32' FW but from the looks of the road many have. Office staff was polite upon check in and provided a package of fliers of things to do in the area. The site was very clean and accessible, however the grass has horrible stickers in it. No fenced dog run, but a large area is provided to walk your dogs around in under trees. This park is mostly resident occupied, but the residents are quiet and it was not a bother to us. Laundry room was clean and kept cool with excellent WiFi availability. Interior roads are paved but have several rough speed bumps, sites are paved with small patios and picnic tables. Couldn't hear any road noise, campground runs along a graveyard, one resident did tell us to keep our bikes tightly secured due to the local high school kids. Overall a good place to stay to see local sites and visit family, wouldn't choose as a place to just camp out. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The Wi-Fi Internet was excellent. The pull-through sites were very spacious and level. As far as Big Rig access we found maneuverability difficult. The entrance and exit were steep as evidenced by the multiple scrap marks on the street. Our hitch scraped as we entered the park. When leaving the park we had to exit via the entrance as the road leading to the exit was difficult to maneuver due to vehicles partially parked in the roadway. It seems that this park has a high number of permanent residents as evidenced by the clutter and unkempt camp sites. The park is located near downtown attractions, however, it is in an industrial area. The security of the park was an issue that ultimately prompted us to leave the park earlier than anticipated. On our second night there was an altercation between a park resident and unknown speeding vehicle. There was a verbal exchange between the two individuals that involved profanity and resulted in the resident striking the vehicle with a pipe. Upon our departure we informed the office staff of the last night's events and they seemed indifferent to the situation. That lead us to believe that this either happens frequently or the staff just didn't care. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I did not camp here. When checking for a longer term stay today, I had trouble getting straight information. The brochure stated a starting monthly rate of $220. Then below that was W/electricity $365, the below that she added summer $390. Then under her breath mumbled about having to sign up with the electricity company for something. As I listened to her take a call, I found out that they expect you to maintain the grass and or shrubs at your sit. She was thinking they were doing me a favor to furnish the mower and gasoline. I use Roundup to control grass. She also made it known that children are not really welcome beyond a day visit. This situation made me wonder what other things she was not being upfront about. I will not stay here with that sucker me attitude. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Big grassy lots, concrete patios, nice rec room, many evening activities, stayed one month plus as a Winter Texan(cost $200.00 + elect @ 0.12 cents per KWH). Walking distance(about 1/2 mile)to Wal-Mart, HEB(grocery store), Post Office and several other stores. Surrounding neighborhood is a bit challenged, but found it to be very safe. Located at the entrance to the Corpus Christi Air Naval Station and you get the "sounds of freedom" (aircraft)at times (music to my ears). Several miles to the outer beach, fishing piers, and Padre Island National Sea Shore. I enjoyed the campground, mostly friendly retired folks spending the winter. I will probably return for a repeat performance. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We found this delightful little place accidentally, as we drove around checking out the other RV resorts listed in the Trailer Life Directory. This place isn't listed there, but their flier indicates that they are listed in Woodalls and in Wheeler's TACO and ARVC. It's an older 55+ community with large grassy sites and lots if big trees and shade. The people were terrific and the whole park was lovely. They make no bones about the fact that they're an older resort, but we saw nothing run-down or in need of attention. Several permanent residents in park models, and lots of snowbirds staying there for months at a time, but no accumulations of junk or debris. The only thing that kept me from giving this a 10 was that it's just outside the entrance to the Naval Air Station, and the planes were noisy a couple times, but nothing near the frequency of the sirens from the fire station across the road from Colonia del Rey, just a mile or so away. When we go back to visit Navy family in Corpus Christi, we intend to stay here the entire time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park has water and elecricity, but only has dump. The beach was was not clean, at a disadvantage due to red tide and dead fish. A bit pricey for a country park with no amenities. The night before we arrived, thefts were reported in the campground with camping items left outside or in the back of pick-ups. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

For a beach park it's not bad. No frills, basically a large parking lot. The spaces are very close together. The restrooms were cleaned every day. The beach is only 100 yards away. The campground is somewhat loud and there's a lot of traffic in and out. We go here several times per year just due to the cost and location. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nueces County operates two RV parks; one at Port Aransas (I.B. McGee Park) and one at Corpus Christi (Balli Park). This review is for Balli. Personnel were courteous and the facilities were neat and clean, but spartan. The park is an asphalt lot with picnic tables and water/electric hookups. There is a bathhouse with washer and dryer, accessible to campers only. A buoy has been installed nearby in the Gulf of Mexico which emits a "HOOT" every 20 seconds, day and night. If you're a light sleeper, this can be annoying. Camping area is protected by a row of high sand dunes, with the beach and Gulf of Mexico on the other side. Very easy walking distance. If you want to camp near the beach with hookups, this is a pretty good place to go. If you want swimming pools, clubhouses, etc. there's a place down the road for about $40 per day. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This review is for the Malaquite Campground. We love the ability to look out the back window and watch the crashing waves, at night listening to those same waves is worth the admission price. Like others have said there are no fancy amenities, but a very nice peaceful place. We will return there. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The national park has 5 miles of open beach camping – no hookups, but they do have a public bath house (with cold water only). The rate is $10.00 for ten days. Quote from NPS Web Page: "Semi-primitive, providing only toilets, rinse showers, picnic tables and 50 designated sites (8 sites are for tent camping only, 26 are for tent or RV camping, and 16 are for RV's only). An $8 fee is required; $4 with a Golden Age or Golden Access passport. There are no hook-ups. There is a gray water dump station and potable water filling station prior to entering the campground. Please do not run generators after 10 p.m. For security, the area is patrolled by rangers. Camping is accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations are accepted. The campground is rarely full; during fall, winter, and spring usually less than half the sites are occupied. A camping permit is required and is available from the campground host, patrolling rangers, the entrance station, or from the information desk at the Malaquite Visitor Center. Campsites are located less than 100 feet (33 meters) from the beach and have an unobstructed view of the Gulf. The Visitors Center is 1/2 mile south along the beach. Please note that a 14 day camping limit is in effect at all camping areas. At the end of 14 days, campers must vacate their site and leave the park for a minimum of 48 hours before returning to camp." We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is ok: we are having some trouble with our truck so we stayed to have it worked on. Nice people, clean park with mostly long termers, not really an RV park. The sites were level, we did not use the Wi-Fi. The staff was very helpful in finding a mechanic. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is located next to a water/sewage treatment facility. When the wind blows from the southeast, the foul smell is very strong. We picked this park thinking that because it is located near the water and a lighted fishing pier, the fishing would be good. Unfortunately, the stench from the treatment facility was so disgusting that we left very early the next morning. I would not recommend staying at this RV park unless you like the smell of stench. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Most of the campers were living there full time and were in bad repair. The were no fishing piers as advertised on the maps. Park was dirty, roads were potholed and there were so many cars parked outside the campers it was hard to get a motorhome down the lanes. The sad thing is that this seemed typical of Corpus RV parks. Not only would I not recommend this park, I would not recommend Corpus Christi as a RV destination. We will not ever come back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is right on the beach, with lots of dirt and sand. There are also some palm trees. This park is old, without any of the "stack'em and pack'em" amenities, ie., pool or spa, so if you are looking to be entertained, this is not the park for you. If you are looking to be right on the water, with lots of wind and very friendly people, then you will be happy here. We stayed for a week, and it is nicely located near to everything that Corpus Christi has to offer. No cable tv hook up, so you will need to put out your satellite dish, however, the City of Corpus Christi offers free WIFI throughout the city, which was wonderful! The laundry room had old machines, but they did a good job. Very nice staff, and they offer discounted tickets to some of the museums, USS Lexington, etc. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We pulled in and wondered what we were getting into, this campground is a dump. The sites are narrow and short. The electrical service boxes are rotting from the salt air, the service water smells like swamp water. Lots of large chunks of concrete along the oceans edge from hurricane Ike. Damaged dock and refuse along the shore and no effort to clean it up. Also a lot of sites taken by old trailers occupied by locals and surounded with trash. People in the office were friendly, but smokers were allowed to smoke in the office. We had a site with an ocean view that was beautiful but we would not come back here unless they cleaned up. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Military Campground on NAS Corpus Christi. Lots of great fishing. Swimming was really only good in base pool located next door. Very windy location with many stickers. Host and other campers were friendly. The park was quiet and dark which I like. We might stay again. If you want the beach, I would suggest staying elsewhere. Although driving across the bay to a Padre Island beach was only a 15 min. drive. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
