This place is beautiful. It is by all means a top notch resort park. I choose a premium site on a pond closest to the beach at $55.00 per night. The only noise at night is that of the waves coming into shore on the beach. All roads and sites are concrete with plenty of meticulously manicured grass, bushes and trees. Plenty of thought went into the design and layout of this facility. This is an ownership park with plenty of rules, but well worth it. I don't normally like to pay this much for an RV site but this place is an exception and well worth the price. We spent 6 days here and are already planning to return for a longer stay in the future. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a very nice park. The sites were level, the electric was very good and the Wi-Fi was strong. We were greeted and taken to our site. Park has very clean bathrooms. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The park has cement slabs , nice pool , hot tub and the beach is within easy walking distance . Make sure you arrive before 6-7 pm because the office closes for the night and it will make things more difficult . The sites in the rear and center of the park are closer to the beach and have less road noise . We camped here in a Motorhome.

Spaces were very cramped and hard to maneuver in and out of. Our sight was full of ant hills and my daughter and I had numerous ant bites on our legs. They have no laundry facilities and is expensive for what you get. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park earns high marks for the friendly staff, friendly campers, and great location right in the center of Port Aransas! This park is within walking or biking distance to most all of the Port Aransas attractions. The pool and spa facilites are very nice. The campsites are all paved, but it is an older park with narrow streets and it could be somewhat cramped. There are many permanent campers there. The only place we could consider parking our 43 ft motorhome is on the perimeter rows. We camped here in the grassy "overflow" area for two weeks when we found ourselves stranded with no reservations during peak season. We appreciated their extending themselves to us, and we will go back because we liked the location so well. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was the third time that we've stayed in this park, and would stay here again. Having said that, we have reserved a space in another park for next winter, but only for a little extra room between us and our neighbors. This park has everything we could ask for in amenities, but for a 40 foot motorhome, it's just slightly too tight for our tastes. Also, there are a lot of permanent residents who are taking up the easiest spots for transients, or making the egress from your spot difficult when you leave for the season. Again, it gave us everything we felt that we wanted for 3 months, but we'll try something different next year, knowing that we can come back if the extra room we're looking for can't top the atmosphere here. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good marks overall. Spaces were not cramped at all and there was a nice table at each space. The spaces all looked level and the landscaping was a nice touch. Clubhouse had tv, puzzles, books and a pool table. Restrooms and showers were very clean. The trolley passes every hour (but only operates from 10am to 4pm). Park is conveniently located to marina and the beach is only about 1/2 mile away. The pool was nice (but the SPA was inoperable while we were there!) Park manager was extremely friendly and very helpful in pointing out the "local attractions". (I had a chance to look at 3 other RV parks in the area and this site definitely had more ample space for each RV) Would give higher marks, but thought that rate was a bit high...but then again, summer rates at the coast are usually not a bargain. ---Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate is based on $175/week. Daily rate is way too high ($38). Nice park. Sites are larger than average in this area. Enough room for an additional car. Level, concrete pads with a short table. Conveniently located near ferry, shops, restaurants and public beaches. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice,clean park with friendly staff. Lots of Winter Texans here! Sites are a little narrow and the cable TV does not yet work, but you do have a clear view with a satellite. The manager is doing a great job landscaping and working on small issues since Ike. The only con (not reflected in my rating) would be that if you have a pet, the designated dog walk is an area behind in the back of the park and it is full of those Texas "stickers" and it's impossible for a pet to walk without stepping on them. We started walking our dog in better/greener grass (had been watered) next to camping spots and got yelled at by some guests a couple of times. I just ignored them :) I'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a camping, RV parking area located within the state park. It is situated between the beach/dunes and the highway. It is about a 5-10 minute walk to the beach access area which is also a day use area. There is some road noise. Sites are back to back sites. Each site has a picnic table on a partially covered pad. The entire area is one large paved parking area so there is plenty of room to maneuver your RV. We didn't see much of the park staff except during check in. They were very helpful and quick with the check in process. The dump station was easily accessible. We would stay here again if in the Corpus Christi area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had a wonderful three night stay here. The park was clean and well patrolled by the park personnel. The sites were paved and grouped in pairs. You were very close to your neighbor on one side, but had lots of room with a nice covered picnic area on the other side. There were two park hosts here but, they were not to be seen. The beach was a 5 to 10 minute walk from the camp sites. We really enjoyed the beach. It was nearly deserted with just a few walkers and people fishing. The sand was very hard and you could easily drive a car ( 4 wheel drive was not needed) on it in designated locations. The rest rooms were closed one day for repair. The dump station was in good repair and had plenty of water available. We will stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were really pleased with our stay to Mustang Island. The view of the ocean was breathtaking. I was pleased with the security. You had to pass them in order to enter the park. I was concerned that the showers did not have separate doors. I felt that anyone could walk in on you. Over all we were pleased with the sites, covered picnic areas, and ocean access. We were right near the ocean. Waking up to the sound of waves hitting was fantastic. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This is the park previously known as "Nueces County Park". The oceanfront sites are primitive sites without hookups, which cost $10 a night. We stayed in the hookups part, with dunes between ourselves and the ocean. They put in a nice, big, new bath house and office in 2007. The showers were plentiful and clean. There are also older, grungier bath houses with pay showers at the beach. There is a $5 deposit for the shower room key card. My main complaint was the sites were dirty and there was litter flying around. Some of the sites aren't level but most of them are, and there are many long enough for big rigs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

They have a new office complex with restrooms, showers, laundry, etc. that was very nice. For $5 they give you a key card for access to the new facilities (you get the $5 back when you return the card). The top deck observation tower on the third level is a great place to catch the view. The facility has an elevator for the handicapped. We stayed over the long Thanksgiving weekend, it was a great experience. The only reason for not giving the facility a 10 rating was the large pot hole on the drive leading to the camping area, go slow in this area. The environment was safe and quiet. The board walk into the swamp area was enjoyed very much by the kids. For those unfamiliar with the area, its next to the ship channel so its interesting to watch the ships go by. Lots of people fishing off the jetty, bring your poles. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a bare bones RV park, but still nice because it is almost right on the beach. It was clean, the folks in the office were very nice, and it was quiet. Even though there is no wi-fi, my AT&T air card worked just fine to hook up to the internet. We would definitely stay here again. Its the best site in town for being so close to the beach. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Before checking in, I asked if I paid for one night and then decided to stay longer if I could get the weekly rate to include the first night and was told yes. When I tried to book a week, the next day (different lady) I was told that I could pay for a week, but the 40 dollars I had already paid could not count toward a weekly rate. I was told that the weekly rate was 165, but then I was charged 190, when I questioned this I was told I was in a higher spot. It is confusing which are standard, premium and deluxe sites. I didn't see a difference in the sites. Next I was charged a $30 electricity deposit. Altogether the nightly rate when booking by the week came to about $32 per night. While in the office a customer called to inquire about monthly bookings and the office girl told him that all of the reservable monthly sites were gone, but there was still lots of empty sites in the campground. The park is clean and the people here are nice, they are making improvements in landscaping. A 5 dollar deposit for a key to the bathrooms and showers. It is a tight squeeze to get a big rig in a site, but can be accomplished and they were happy to help us park. This RV park is definitely the closest to the beach within the area, just yards to the beach. We would stay here again We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We love this park mostly because of the location next to a fabulous beach. The park is spotlessly maintained, with loads of activities, and a great staff. The restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities are top notch. The sites are all cement with nice patio areas. This is our second time during pre-winter season and it is one of our favorite places. We will definitely be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Just finished a week at Pioneer Beach Resort.We have never stayed at any campsite at the beach. We were escorted to our site by a volunteer in a golf cart who help us back in and hook up our cable. The cable was awesome and the site were very clean. The family bath house is the nicest cleanest public bath house I have ever used and we camp at many state and rv parks. Almost everyone has a golfcart and I found that if I had one I would have been using it too! The rv park is big and would find a cart to be useful navigating to and from the boardwalk to the beach.You are just a few minutes from town and shops. There is a trolley/van that will take you there for a minimal amount. Next time I will use that too! I thought our location was perfect it could have only been better if we had a corner spot. I would have given them a "10" if they had more palm trees! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We had a good site. Close to board walk to the beach. Don't forget your golf cart! The park is huge and I wished I had one! You can drive it on the board walk over to the beach. About a half mile up the island there is a beach access road where you can drive your truck on the beach. Park was packed on the weekend with kids and families. Restrooms were somewhat clean. Laundry room was nice . We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

My wife and I stayed at Surfside from 4-18 to 4-25-09. This was our first trip in our new fifth wheel so we were a little apprehensive about the trip in general. As soon as we walked in the office, the owner greeted us and could have not been more helpful. He helped us get parked and checked on us later to see that everything was in good working order. The park is extremely clean and was very quiet. All of the other guests that we encountered were pleasant. We go to Port Aransas twice a year usually in April and October and have been for about 12 years, our next trip will definitely include staying at Surfside. All in all it was a great experience and the fishing was great. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Sites tight. Washrooms are clean because they have a sign that states "please wash floor when done". We who rent a site do the cleaning. At the price they charge they should clean the washrooms. For a day or two the place is OK We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Older park with narrow interior roads, level concrete sites. Would have used the pool more if it had been heated. Great location right in town, right across the street from Paradise Pond, one of the best birding locations we have ever been to. Would definitely return. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We made reservations at this park to see some family members that stay there for a couple weeks each summer, our stay was three nights. Upon arrival the first thing you notice is that the park is older and shows its age somewhat. The majority of the sights are narrow in width and seem to have been layed out before the advent of the slideout rooms that most rigs have today. Our neighbors awning was inches from touching our slideout. There is no room between sites to set up a table and grill or anything that most campers would use to create there own space. If you wanted to do this it had to be done in front of the rig as the driveway was long and concrete There are many permanent residents and transient residents who leave their rigs parked all season and some possibly all year. Many of the permanent residents do not maintain there spaces to what I would consider an acceptable condition. The manager, who I believe was the owner as well, seemed to be indifferent to any problems or concerns that were brought to his attention. I say that this park is family friendly because there were several children around, but the layout does not create the safest environment for riding bicycles nor is there a playground. The one plus I can say about this park was that it was in the middle of town and offered easy access to most of the attractions on the island. If you are looking for an overnight stay this place would be suitable, but if you are looking for better amenities and better beach access for an extended stay, there are better choices that meet those criteria. We camped here in a Motorhome.
