Located on East side of I-37 south of Mathis. Owner very willing to help out with anything. Staff very friendly. Roads and sites are crushed asphalt. Sites are level. Newly planted trees so no shade. Nice clubhouse. No restroom, showers, laundry. Owner is starting construction to double the size of the campground and add swimming pool, public restrooms/showers, all planned. Somewhat new campground so no activities yet. Co-located with Maxim RV Sales and Service. Propane available. $200 per month + elec. We stayed a month. I would definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The roads could be improved upon, but overall this is a nice campground. Friendly people, clean park and nice amenities. I've been coming to this park for fifteen years now and am never disappointed in my stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

My husband and our children have been camping many different ways at the Mathis KOA over a ten year span, and we love it. The restrooms are so clean here they are tempting to sleep in on a cold night. We are pretty sure there is a secret bathroom fairy because they are always clean no matter if there are one or fifty campers. The roads are just fine if you are real campers and love rolling hills with wildlife to see. The peacocks still entertain our children who are now sixteen and thirteen, and yes they still collect feathers. The people that own this park make it hard to leave: they are so family-like and fun to talk to it makes it hard to pull out and make that drive home. Usually the ride home the conversation always goes to those darn good pancakes they serve and why I cannot make them like that! We love the pool because it is a clean, safe area for us and the kids now and when they were young. Just wanted to get the truth out even though we are not totally hip on sharing our paradise with the world. As young campers we know good family places are hard to come by and we want to make it easy on others when trying to keep good old fashion camping family time alive! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This park has not upgraded anything in years. The electrical hook-ups are worn and broken. It took us three different sites to find a plug that was not damaged. The owner stated "Why should I replace them, it is people like you that damage them"! We would have left right then but we were meeting some friends that rented a cabin. The roads are terrible, several ruts run the length of the main road, they drop large rocks hoping that they will be pressed into the road so it makes it very hard to walk. The bathrooms are terrible as well. When I brought the condition to the attention of the Manager she stated "If you do not like the way we clean, use you own bathroom"! I guess she has a point there. When I told her about the reviews they receive she stated "And here you are"! Again, she had a point. There are several old, ran down mobile home's that should be condemned and removed. It appears people still live in them. This is a very, very bad park! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We did not know about this website until a fellow RVer told me about it. This is our first entry. I can not believe how terrible this park is. The roads were almost non-travelable (if that is a word), and the restrooms were awful! When I asked the young lady in the office why they allowed this place to run down, she stated, "You should have seen it last month if you think it is bad now"! The train was so loud that it shook our 5th wheel, and if it was not the train it was the Peacocks screeching at 2:00AM. The owners and KOA clearly do not care how they are represented. I am glad we discovered this website so we can express ourselves. We will never be back here! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were asked to revisit this park (this is our second time here, the first was a disaster) and submit a review for a RV Magazine. The story is about the Best and the Worst! After the first visit and a very long conversation with KOA you would think this place would clean up it's act. Just the opposite! I have a list of items that are just inexcusable for the traveling RV'er, the list is to long so I will give you the highlights. The bathrooms/Bath houses are by far the worst we have ever seen (that includes filthy gas stations), The Wi-Fi does not work at all, when I approached the manager I was told "Get an AIR CARD" if you don't like our system. The trash is stored in a very large container hidden in some trees, when it is hot you can smell it throughout the park. Now for the Peacocks, they are cute but don't let then get on your vehicle. The person next to us has major scratches from the hood to the top of his truck from the creatures walking on it. They should be pinned up for peoples enjoyment and most of all safety. The roads are extremely bad, you must watch where you walk so you do not step on a large piece of rock and brake your ankle. The Pool is unfit to swim in, it is green, you can not see the drain and the water stinks like rotten eggs. In short the park is by far the worst we have visited in some 30 months of traveling. I can not mention the RV Magazine but it will be out in December. I have taken over 200 pictures of this place so all can see it. KOA, Owners/Managers and staff should be embarrassed to open the doors each day. Hopefully the City of Corpus Christi will visit this place and revoke the lease on the property and clean this park up. The only reason we are here is for the article! Never again.. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We visited this park prior to using this website. If we had read the reviews prior, we would never have stayed here! I am not going to bash them any worse than they have already been. Take the other reviewer comments and multiply by 10 to get the real effect. By far the worst park ever! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Where do I start? I should have read the reviews on this place before stopping here. What is KOA, or for that fact, anyone thinking? This is not an RV park! When we arrived there is sign that says, "Stop here, walk to office"! That is what I did. When I walked into the office this lady (the Manager) stated, "Can't you read?" I asked her what she meant by that, and she stated I was instructed to leave my RV at the entrance and walk into the office. I responded, "I DID! My RV is at the sign." She looked out the window and said, "OH, SO IT IS?" No apology or anything. I was dead tired and needed to sleep. In short the electric did not work, we had to move three times; the third time there was no sewer. OK, I can live with that. The water smelled terrible, like very strong bleach. I told them that we had decided to leave and find something better and asked for a refund. She said you only have one hour for a refund, and it has been 1.5 hours. We spent an hour trying to get a spot that worked. Finally the owner rode up on a little motorcycle and told me to leave, and if I had a problem to call KOA in Billings. We left $42.00 poorer. I didn't even mention the bath houses; my god they are terrible. What a crap hole KOA has in Texas!!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I'm not sure who should be more ashamed of this campground the owners or Corporate KOA. Where do I start?: horrible roads, very outdated electric hookups; in fact the first site I was given had services on the wrong side; at the second site when I opened the electric box to plug my motorhome in I discovered no outlet at all, just open exposed live wires. How could this happen and how do they get a presidents award for '08? These are the questions I want to know answers for. Bathrooms, office, and game room were quite disgusting, including roaches. I cut my stay very short. This campground in one to just pass on your travels. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I have no idea why this is a KOA. We have been on vacation for three weeks and this is by far the worst park we have been to. The showers were disgusting. The roads were terrible and the electrical boxs are very, very old! KOA should take a very serious look at this place. We will never be back. When we complained that there was no toilet paper in the bathroom the staff member in the office stated bring your own then. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a very poorly kept camp ground, I would never go back to it, I'd rather camp in a wal-mart parking lot. Its 10 miles to a store that offers anything. The roads are in bad shape. It's name is missleading, yes it sets on Lake Corpus Christi how ever it is a 50 mile one way trip to Corpus Christi. I found the staff to be very unfriendly. There is a very nice state park on around the bend from this one, that still puts you in the same area and about the same driving distance, but better kept, nice staff, good facilities, and will stay there next time I travel threw that area. They have a sign on the front window that says they offer wifi, however it only runs at a min., and makes net service hard to retrieve. I had to give it a rating of one only because this site wont allow zero's. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice overnight stay right on the lake. Staff were helpful with a problem we had with are RV, would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is so old the electrics, sewer and water hookups are in constant 'breakdown' mode. It appears the owners have bluffed the KOA standards team. Their internal roads badly need grading and the owners do not set an example on the speed limit, throwing dust through everyones RVs.The worst KOA we have ever stayed in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is for those who want to see nature outside their rigs. It is unique with it's rural outdoor atmosphere. The people here all seem to be "country friendly". It's not for everyone, but for those who keep coming back, it's a real home type atmosphere. We'll keep coming back! We came for a month and stayed for 3 1/2 months. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A wonderful state park, lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery and a wonder full fishing lake. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites are not marked very well, roads are in need of repair, sites are not level. The park is in need of repair and clean up, a lot of the sites appear to have abandoned trailers and campers with a lot of junk on sites. Was not able to get to the lake due to the roads in bad repair. Would not recommend this park to any one. It is questionable as to why KOA would even have it listed with the shape that it is in at this time. We have stayed in numerous KOA parks and this is the worst. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has great potential but needs some attention. There is great disparity between one section of the park to another. We were first taken to the D section where the sites were so bad you couldn't even drive through the dip to get out of the pull throughs. We finally ended up in A which was adequate. However, the restrooms were so dirty that I wouldn't use them and there was trash on the ground. This is absolutely the worst KOA I've every stayed in. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is over 20 years old and really needs some work. There are too many trees in the drives that makes it hard for a "big rig" to get to the site without hitting them. The 30 amp service consists of "old ceramic fuses". If you're lucky you might get 22.5 amps from 30 amps. This park is quite a way off the interstate and it doesn't even make it a nice place to spend the night. I would never go back there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Just off I-37 and about 45 minute drive north of CC. Park appears to be older. Non-paved sites. The only negative is sites are very close to each other. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Lots of Peacocks roaming about-outdoor pool-very large playground area-family friendly-lake access. Active train tracks only a couple of hundred yards away. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park! Nice pull-thrus great wildlife. People at the office were very nice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Last week we passed through here and stayed at the KOA across the Lake. What a dump that is! This place is very nice. The lake looks great and the staff was nice. Typical State Park, no sewer, cable or wi fi but for the price it was wonderful! If you are in the area go the extra 1.5 miles to the Park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for 4 days and enjoyed the park very much. The sites are pretty basic and some are hard to pull into especially if you have a larger rig. My advice would be to pay the park entrance fee and drive around and pick out an empty site that you like then go back and tell them which one you want. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful area with large campsites and lots of room between campers. Very peaceful setting with lots of room for walking and bicycle riding. We spent 2 nights here on our way home from Coastal Bend area. Would definitely return and would stay longer. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rangers all very nice, almost all pullthru u shaped campsites that need some leveling but all have a nice cover and picnic tables. Will be back for sure!! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The sites are terribly small; most are too short, and some are even too narrow for comfort when entering/leaving. We have a travel trailer, and fifth-wheels had an advantage: they could turn sharper, so the length of the cresent-shaped pull-through sites was not as problematic for them. With one exception, the staff was pleasant and helpful, and the location is very pretty, with an abundance of wildlife. The $18 rate is misleading: there is a $4 per day, per person "entry fee," which is levied even if you do not leave/re-enter during a given day. For the money,next time we'll stay at the exceptional KOA on the other side of the lake! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

For a state park, this facility is not at the top of our list. We have visited Garner SP and Inks Lake SP recently, and would rate those parks much higher on our list. The main concern is with limited facilities. Very limited showers, and the cleanliness of the restrooms is questionable. This is mainly due to the fact that the campground is very close to the daily public use areas for this SP, so the restrooms get a ton of traffic. Nice lake for fishing and boating. If they improve the bathrooms, we may head back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Excellent RV park - tons of wildlife throughout and pull-through sites were convenient, staff was extremely outgoing and friendly. All full hook-up sites were very nice and most had covered picnic tables and grills. Lake was a bit chilly but swimming area would be nice once it warms up. 30-45 minute drive to Corpus - about an hour or so to Port Aransas. Would definitely visit again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This state park is large and sits on a 12 mile long lake. Sites are small in size and 40' units may not work well on all sites. Best sites are on lake and have no hook ups. Lot of fishing people here. It would be best to look at your site if possible before you pick one. Very quite here. Number of sites have low trees over parking pads and can be a problem. Fire ants are a big problem on some sites. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park was peaceful, not crowded. Good location from Corpus Christi. Staff was friendly. Concrete slab, pull-through sites made the camper easy to park. The lake was close-by and fun for swimming. However, the entire area is covered in sandburrs. This made doing anything fun with the kids outside impossible. A pet would surely be miserable! It put a huge damper on our weekend. I doubt we will go back to this park for this reason. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Big sites. Big fishing lake. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
