This was our first time camping and I was very concerned after seeing all the other camp sites along the way. Once we arrived my concerns were gone! The campsite is beautiful, quiet and well kept. The beach is a three minute walk. We would go back in a heart beat. The people were so nice and helpful. We were very pleased with our trip. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

One of the best RV resorts I've ever seen. The place is a paradise. The design of the sites are perfect for easy hookup and breakdown. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. We love this place and would highly recommend! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We arrived for a month-long stay, checked in, and paid for a premium space. The staff member assigned to lead us to our site, assist in parking, etc. was extremely argumentative and belligerent. He yelled, he threatened to fine us if we failed to follow instructions when parking, and told us to leave if we did not like it. This was wholly unprovoked! We attempted to diffuse the situation but were unable to, and finally decided to leave rather than stay in that hostile environment. The office staff person initially declined to refund our payment, but eventually the owner/manager did approve a full refund. The owner/manager also apologized, which we appreciated. Unfortunately we were left without a place to stay! We have a big rig, and had trouble finding another place to stay for a month during peak season. We would never go back there, as this was a very unpleasant experience! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We've stayed here almost a month and have found the staff helpful and friendly. The positives - This is a newer, luxury, first-class, well designed and beautiful "ownership" RV resort, not a campground. Sites are quite large (avg. site 46’ x 85’), nicely landscaped, well maintained with just a short walk to the gulf waters and a pretty beach. CATV is included in the rates, the town “trolley” stops at the resort, and propane is delivered weekly. Our rate reflects a monthly rate (electric is extra @ $0.15/KWH). Rates are based upon proximity to the highway vs closeness to the beach and whether the site faces the tranquil water ponds (I’d avoid the sites close to the highway). The negatives – small laundry, bathrooms, showers for the size of this facility, however they don’t seem to be used all that much. The heating system for the swimming pool has been out since we arrived, but I understand they’ve been waiting on Port Aransas to complete a new gas line across the road and then hookup to the pool heater. They do tend to nickel and dime you somewhat additional $10 charged for the water to wash your RV (but at least you can wash your RV), $5 charged once per dog for your entire visit, WiFi is available but at an additional cost. We met many very nice RV people both owners and transients, who plan activities if you wish to participate. We checked out all the RV parks in Port Aransas/Mustang Island and this is the nicest by far and we would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Don't stay here. The management is unfriendly and have unreasonably inflexible arrival policies. Traffic and weather caused delays to our arrival, and no allowance was made. Two thumbs down, don't stay here. Go to Pioneer Beach, down the road. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a beautiful, well maintained resort directly on the Gulf of Mexico! All sites are privately owned, concrete pads, landscaped, and very large with patio area with concrete tables. Owners staying in the park are all very friendly, as is the management. Town is only a very short distance away, but if you don't want to drive there is a trolley that comes into the park once an hour and will take you into town or bring you back from town for 25 cents. The beach is gorgeous and while we were there there were not very many people on it. On the downside, we stayed in a site in the front area near the highway and it was quite noisy. Also, there are only two "showers", which are actually two large bathrooms which are in the clubhouse/office, and there are only two washers and dryers. But the excellent location and well maintained resort make it well worth it. We will definitely be back! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very clean, well designed park. Each site is slightly different which it nice. Our site overlooked a pond. Most sites have afternoon shade from the RV. The pool was never crouded (maybe another group there) put the spa was being repaired. We were there just after Hurricane Polly hit so the cable was out for a few days, but antenna reception was good. We will be coming back. Compaired to the other RV parks in the area, this one is by far the best. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

As some of the other reviews have noted, this park consists of individually owned sites. The site selection is random, and the management will not make changes - so you might wind up on a very nice site next to a pond and near the beach, or you might wind up next to a very noisy, very busy highway. On our first trip we had the former, and on our last (emphasis on last) trip we had the latter. I tried to appeal to the management for a relocation and they wouldn't hear of it. I contacted the management company, and found their representative to be rude and uncaring. Unless you are a site owner, once they have your non-refundable fee, these people couldn't care less if you are happy or not. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed 7 nights here. We were travelling with friends and wanted to park next to each other but were disappointed that we could not. It was explained to us that they were selected by the computer to be fair to all owners renting their sites. Park was very maintained and people were very friendly and helpful. Laundry room was small but adequate. Used the swimming pool which was well maintained. We especially enjoyed the walkway to the Gulf of Mexico being in our backyard. Would stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice! Quiet and well maintained. we were overlooking a pond with a lot of birds and we backed up to the beach access. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice resort. Wide sites, pull-ins or back-ins. Must disconnect/connect toads at office. Not convenient for us if just over-nighting. Beach was covered with seaweed, others were also not pleased with beach condition. For the price, wi-fi should be included. Free at office only. Place was about 1/2 full. Would stay again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a "nice" RV Resort. When I made our reservation I requested a "Premier" site which, of course, costs extra. I was told it was an ownership resort, the sites are owned by individuals and rented by the resort and that all the sites were wonderful. And they were..very well kept, very large, etc. But since "the computer" assigns the sites we got stuck with one that backed up to the highway. I asked if there wasn't one available elsewhere (at check in) and was told "the computer assigns the sites". There were plenty of sites open. The road noise was horrible...we couldn't hear the TV in the evening, even with the windows closed and the air conditioning on! We noted that the next unit that came in went to a very nice interior site...don't know if they owned it or were renting it and they too were in a 5th wheel. We left a day early mostly due to the awful road noise. Their bathrooms are inside the office building, so they couldn't be accessed unless the office was open. Laundry room was lousy. I would not recommend this place to anyone! We'd considered a monthly rental in January,2009, but I would be afraid of being stuck on the road for a month, and they will not let you move. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We absolutely loved this park. This is an RV condominium, where owners rent their sites when they're on in Port Aransas. Each lot is huge with beautiful landscaping, concrete and brick patios, and concrete picnic tables. Some offer barbecue shelters and benches. Many sites are right on the pond, offering a beautiful view. All are close to the boardwalk that leads to the beach. The people in the park were extremely friendly. We will make this our destination next year! We camped here in a Motorhome.

The sites in this park are individually owned and rented out by a management company. The sites are very nice concrete pads with private access to the beach at the end of the park. Not many activities here and when there are few people show. The management and park is more focused on its lot owners then the renters(pretty much treated like a second class citizen). You are lucky to get a smile out of the personnel. Coachnet provides internet at an additional fee. We were experiencing trouble with ours and told the office and since she was not dealing with the problem we were told to get on line and call them. I told the girl we could not look up the number without internet, could she provide the number and she was extremely put out. I have watched the personnel just tell potential space renters that there is probably nothing available without checking their records. Very poor customer service. I did mention this to one of the individual lot owners and he said they were aware. The 2 bathrooms are located inside the office so everyone coming in to use them is seen by the office, mailman, owners and renters. Whatever you do, do not have people come visit your site, my cousin came and was treated very rudely. He did not see the sign to check in and they went chasing after him. We stayed here in a 5th wheel and hope not to stay here again We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Well maintained and manicured lot owner type park. A little tight for big rigs but with care no problem. Good access to Beach and area sights. A little windy but to be expected on the coast. If in area we would return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful !! Walk to Beach or sit by heated pool tons to do in area. Staff is helpful and very nice. It is a Owners resort where you can rent an Owners big beautiful site and Enjoy, which we have. Talked to many other rv'ers while there whom like us did not want to leave. They do enforce there rules but that is the reason I feel it is such a clean nice place to be. Not an RV Park for sure. The 2 Bathroom and showers are located in welcome center but I think that is temporary? Either way I have my own bathroom and shower in my trailer. We went to the Kenny Family Concert held in the welcome center it was so nice and the place was packed, looked like everyone had a good time, Then there was bingo and ice cream day, also fun. We don't usually go to or need such things but fun to go to once in awhile. I noticed the previous post said the staff was rude?? Not our experience at all, as I said, very helpful and nice. Had no problem with the internet at all. We also have 2 small dogs and even though they don't have a pet area or pet walk, the dogs did fine on leash to the beach and some grass area's they have. We loved the experience and will be back again and again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

The park is beautiful with large site and good beach access. Not pet friendly, which is big issue for us. The staff made the experience of staying in the park totally unpleasant. We felt unwelcome and like intruders. Too far to dumpters, swimming pool, laundry, a smiling face. We have stayed here from the first day the park opened, but will not return due to change in pet policies and condescending attitude of owner, park staff. For the money Rockport is a much better way to spend hard earned money. Will stay in Rockport and drive to beach and restaurant in Port A. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

One of our favorite parks. We stayed here two months (price reflects monthly rate). The sites are privately owned and rented when the owners are not there. We had a huge (by comparison with some other parks) site that was paved with a patio and a second patio at the edge of the lovely pond we were next to. Beautiful, well maintained campground with good ocean access. No community room or planned activities, but we don't need them - we can make our own fun. Used the hot tub almost daily. March and April are the off-season and the park was only lightly used. We loved the local restaurants with live acoustic music almost every night. The Port Aransas annual sand sculpture contest was great. The greater Corpus Christi area was also great with events almost every weekend. Plan to return again when we're in the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a beautiful campground with nicely landscaped spacious sites. Sites are sold and then rented to visitors. Hence, the reservation system is completely controlled by computer and there is no opportunity to select a site or to change sites if you are dissatisfied. Rate above is for a 1 week stay and does not reflect electric charges, which are additional. The pool and hot tub can be far away, depending on your location, and during our visit, the spa was covered with a heavy cover that discouraged use. The temperature was too cool to use it anyway. There is a nice walkway to the beach. The reservation staff were moderately friendly. One gets the feeling they don't really need your business, which they don't. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed the long concrete pad with additional paved car park and step down patio on the freshwater pond. We were in site 750 close to the beach walkover. However, this site is a long way from trash and pool and showers. We chose this place for its advertised pool, hot tub, fitness center, etc. After we checked in and were settled, we realized there is no fitness center and the clubhouse is not built yet. The pool has a one hour adult only swim which is fine, but it just happens to be at the time right before the dinner hour when we most want to take the kids to the pool after a busy day. Children are excluded from the hot tub, a rule which I have never understood when they must be accompanied by a parent. (We have just come from Indio, CA’s Motorcoach Country Club, so I admit to being spoiled by a beautiful park where all family members were welcomed!) The pool area is nice, but has a lot of highway noise. The developers missed a great opportunity when they sold their beachfront lots for houses – this would have made a perfect place for a beach club with pool and showers. There is no foot shower at the beach walkover. As was mentioned, however, by another reviewer, our water went completely dry at 8 pm. Laundry was far away and small, but there is a great new “Laundramat” (actual spelling on their sign) in town that has a drop and fold service. All that said, if you have a good bathroom in your RV, this is the prettiest full hookup park available in the area. If you are coming for the beach, go to Florida as this beach is very trashy because of the wind and water currents which dump everything here. If you are coming for the weather and fishing, it is great. Good food at Fins and Trout Street Grill in Port Aransas (5 miles away) and over the ferry in Aransas Pass at Taqueria Guadalajara (about 10 miles away). Also, please note that reviews for this park appear under two names in rvparkreviews.com. Read both! We camped here in a Motorhome.

A beautiful park with sites that are rented when the lot owners are not utilizing them. Gives the "everyday" rv'ers a chance to rent a site that may not be normally available to them everyday. Where the beauty of the sites excelled, the ammenities of the park were lacking. The showers were located in the office building and not available after hours. There was no club house and the laundry consisted of only 2 washers. Would recommend this park for a one-time visit as the cost of sites wasn't really worth the overall offerings of the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Good acess from 361. Signage where to park for registration needed to be clearer. Office staff efficient. Escorted to site. Large well designed paved and landscaped fully serviced sites, with plenty of room for motorhome, car, and more. Premium location with boardwalk access to Gulf beaches. New sites being constructed at the moment which detracted from the ambience of the resort. In addition many rules and regulations. We camped here in a Motorhome.

While this is a very attractive park, I didn't feel it was worth the price. The park is still under construction and we were bothered by construction equipment noise, including pumps that ran all night several times during our week long stay. There are about two pages of rules that you're given at check in, most of which are so basic that it seems overkill to have written them down. Again, the sites are very large, with concrete patios and concrete tables & benches. Once the park is completed I expect it will be beautiful. But after a week we moved to a different park in the same town, because this one was just too expensive and also fairly empty, very few other people to talk to. Another surprise is that there are only two washers and two dryers, surprising for a park of its size. In addition to their standard rates, they charged me an extra $10 per week for my two cats who stay inside my coach. I can understand the charge for dogs, since some people don't pick up after them, but cats? To summarize, an attractive park, but overpriced and not many activities. They also did not tell me at check-in that I would be charged for electric usage at check-out, but two weeks later I received a credit card receipt in the mail with an additional $35 charge for electricity. There are a lot of other parks in this area, and I will stay with those next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Lots of really nice things and quite a few serious shortcomings. This is a large, very nice, condominium type resort - all of the sites are privately owned and rented when the owners are out of town. Easy access off of 361. Friendly & helpful work-camper staff. Very wide paved streets make it all very maneuverable (no tall trees to impede turning). Amazingly well cared-for decorative plantings, manicured grassy areas and palms separate beautiful concrete & decorative paver-brick sites. Each site has a separate parking area, some have step-downs to charming ponds scattered on the property - all sites have cement picnic table and bench sets. The southeast end of the park has a walkway that connects to a well-built boardwalk - a mere 200 yards over the dunes leads to a clean, quiet beach on the Gulf of Mexico. Each site has instant-on phone connections, cable TV reception is very good, very complete channel lineup. Resort accepts mail for visitors. Propane available to the site from roving truck. $1 rental DVDs available at the office. Very quiet and remote location - no highway noise to speak of. We parked in 733, excellent proximity to the Gulf boardwalk, much too far to dumpster and office. Pricey place: tiered rent structure: $250 to $275/wk, $43 to $48/day. Additional charge for electricity - 15 cents/kwh. Marginally slow WI-FI provided by Coach Connect for an additional fee. (Coach Connect is one of the pricier pay-as-you-go WI-Fi providers.) Additional charge of $5 for each pet. [Pet policy is breed restrictive for dogs; no pit bulls, Doberman, chow, and any wolf hybrid.] There is no specific dog-walking area. No garbage pickup and only one dumpster for the entire park of 150+ sites. - it is located behind the office, Small common area with tables, laundry & bathing facilities are located in the office building and are not accessible after office closes (6 p.m.) Water pressure drops dramatically at 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. due to two large, nearby hi-rise condos - don’t count on a good shower at that time. It’s a bit far from everything - only adequate groceries nearby in Port Aransas (5mi). Corpus Christi 25 - 30 miles. The park is a work in progress, currently they are in the process of expanding with 48 additional sites in the center of the property - construction noise is minimal. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

These are owner-owned sites that are rented out to the public, and are very nicely landscaped. However, for the past several years their website and advertising shows a rec room. They have a very small area in the office for functions, but construction on the actual rec room still has not started. Staff very friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Park is still being completed but the work is very quiet and unobtrusive. The resort and the sites are very smart and clean and you get free local telephone. We had a lakefront site and it was a quick 5 minute stroll over the boardwalk to a very quiet beach. People at the resort were nice and friendly and the local trolley to Port Aransas stops right in the resort and is free. This resort is a gem and we definitely will go back there. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is one beautiful resort. Resort is laid out with paved streets, concrete sites, landscaping, patio sets at each site, and just a short walk over the boardwalk to the Gulf of Mexico. Pool is a nice size. Currently adding more sites. Spaces are owned and "rented" out by the day, week, month by the resident manager. Purchase of some sites is available. We've been there twice and will definitely go again. I am really pleased. Everything looks wonderful. Highly recommend it. The only reason I didn't give it a ten was becasue there are only two showers and two washers and dryers. Other than that, there's not much else missing. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice resort, some sites still under construction. Restrooms and showers in office area as is laundry room. Not avaliable after office closes at 6pm. Very inconvient. Very long walk to office and pool and restrooms/showers (only 2). Pool and spa very nice. No game room or gathering room constucted as of yet. Wifi is expensive. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very nice park! Spotless! Beautiful landscaping, although only palm trees. Most sites are situated around several freshwater ponds. All concrete paving, no crumbling asphalt. Most sites apprx 50 x 80 with large RV pads. 3 miles to Port Aransas. Park is located 150 yds from the gulf, separated only by the dunes. The beach was very clean, I believe it is maintained by the County. Large pool and "community house" with games, computer access, etc. What else can I say? We visited once by ourselves in June and are already planning another visit in July with the grandbaby. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a brand new RV resort located on Mustang Island about 5 mile from Port Aransas. Really nice owners. Some lots are for sale and they have daily, weekly,and monthly rates. The last time we were there the clubhouse and pool were not finished, but should be by now. If you buy a lot, it can be rented out when your not there and you get the majority of the rental fee, pretty good deal for snowbirds. I have no affiliation with this place, I have a sister that is ill that lives nearby and just happened to find a great rv park. It is on the beach, about 60 yrds from the back of the park, accessable via a wooden bridge over the dunes. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Very tight spaces. Slide out was 3 inches from neighbor's slide out. It is a huge park with little grass and no laundry facilities. The trash bins at the front of the park were always open and stunk like rot. Even with the sparse grass, the mower ran endless right through the sites at 830 in the morning. Nice staff and close to town. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park, great staff. The only reason for not giving it a higher rating is that, for a 40' Motorhome, it was extremely tight getting into the campsite. The staff leads you to your site, and guides you in, and, although I'm usually uncomfortable with someone other than my wife guiding me, he also drives a Motorhome and knew what my concerns were jockeying into the site. WIFI works well in the office area, but not at the sites at this time. When we come back for a winter, we'll check out the site and access to same before trying to get into it. There are some empty sites that wouldn't have given us the challenge getting into, and I will insist on one of those next time. The bottom line is that we will return, it has everything that we need. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Clean park near marina and restaurants. Parked there in January 04 with a 34' travel trailer. Very narrow roads and narrow sites. All rv's were packed in like sardines. We have never experienced such over- crowding in other parks. We will not come here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Stayed at the park during spring break. Park is loaded with "Winter Texans" Lots of retired seniors. Not really a "family" park, but there were a few families in the park. For the most part we felt welcome. Most activities other than the pool were targeted to an older crowd. Father-in-law was with us and he had a great time. Enjoyed hanging out and talking to people his own age. Counter attendants were helpful and friendly. Store has a small selection, but other stores are avalable nearby. About 6-7 blocks to the beach. Sites are pretty tight, but saw plenty of big rigs in there. Some sites have concrete pads and are fine if it has been raining. Others don't and are quite muddy during rainy weather (not that common except in spring). Didn't see anyone with tents so I am not sure if they are allowed or not. Overall, park was clean and well maintained. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Excellent park with very helpful staff. Very clean clubhouse/shower area. WI-FI good if in range. Location is up there with the best. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a new park right in town that opened last year. They don't have a swimming pool yet, their cable isn't hooked up yet, their wifi is intermittent but their sites are a good size and not right on top of each other and within walking distance of shops, restaurants and a nice park. We stayed for a month so the rate is based on monthly plus electric. We liked the location and we like the town very much. It's the nicest park in the area right now. We could see the satellite for our internet and TV without a problem. Staff are nice. Rec room is small for potlucks etc. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a basic RV park, but absolutely amazing beaches. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very nice state park, very large land holding, and is right on the gulf. Water front dry camping is available but any towing is your responsibility. Bathhouses need maintenance. While we were there it was very windy, too much so for awnings. You can drive on the beach here and the national park is only 6 or so miles away. All in all great natural scenery and quiet. Take the ferry in Port Aransas and go to the mainland for a special trip. We found the restaurants in Port Aransas to be quite nice and fairly reasonible. We camped here in a Motorhome.

While Mother Nature takes her toll on the park, the ranger staff makes every effort to make ones stay pleasant. Salt and sand have their way of aging everything they touches. The park staff was extremely helpful and was always available. The Assistant Park Ranger, Juan Sanchez is one of the most helpful rangers we have come across in our three years of full time RVing. He is certainly an asset to Mustang Island Park. We enjoyed our stay and will certainly return. Whether it will happen or not, a lot of big changes are scheduled for this park and hopefully, they will come true. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice spaces and easy to park the RV. Bathrooms on the beach were is serious need of repair. Others were in good working order. Staff was great, and gladly refunded our last night since we left early. The only downfall was that you can not see the water from these sites, however you can hear the waves crashing. Beach was practically empty and we had it pretty much to ourselves. We would come back if ever in the area again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Personnel were not well trained and was not familiar with the area. Check-in took an extremely long time due to the lack of training. The value of this campground is not worth the cost. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The biggest drawback to the State Park was the showers. They were grungy and need an overhaul. Other than that we enjoyed being at MISP. Being just a short walk to a very long beach was very enjoyable. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were so disapointed in this State Park. The sites were parking lot style. And site are very close together. The staff was not very helpful. The rate of the beach is 8 , the park 2 . We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a great park if you like rustic parks--it's not concrete slab parking with swimming pools and hot tubs. The pads are paved with plenty of room between campers and each site has a covered table. There are two rows of pads; one with a view of Corpus Christi; the other with a view of the sand dunes. The Gulf of Mexico is just on the other side of the dunes, a quick 5 minute walk, and the beach is natural (expect seaweed, shells and wind-blown sand). TV and cell phone reception is good. There's no road noise and the only sound we heard was the wind blowing (yes, it seems to blow consistently). Staff seems laid-back, helpful and friendly. Despite misgivings after reading other reviews, I found Mustang Island State Park to be very enjoyable. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We were disappointed during this week-long stay at Mustang Island S.P. The beach (hidden from the RV park by the dunes) had large quantities of dried sea weed and extensive trash. The first thing we did was pick up about 20 cigarette butts from our site. Each site has a picnic table with a shade barrier overhead, and a grassy area on one side. Each paved site is intended for two RV rigs. One thing has changed this park's character, which the original planners could not foresee: all the huge rigs (and those with slideouts) have resulted in potentially very cramped sites (unless you are lucky to have tenters on both sides). My slide-out and my neighbor's almost touched. The only upgrade in this park in the last ten years that we could see (beside shower renovations) was the addition of special sites with sewage for the camp host (s) outside the general RV area. State park personnel were obviously hardworking and doing their best to make a pleasant campground, but could not keep up with the demands. We camped here in a Motorhome.

$3 off per person with state park sticker. No trees. 1/4 mile to beach. Paved Road. Covered Picnic table. EZ in-out. Just a large parking lot. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park. Would definitely stay here in the future. Surprisingly there were also laundry facilities. Met other campers here which were also very friendly. Close to beach. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice area to camp and close to the beach. We were rained on and switched sites a couple times due to huge puddles and the staff was very helpful. The sand dunes help break the wind some. We have camped here three times and will be going back for sure. The downside of this area is the seaweed which gets really bad at times. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a bare bones RV park. They do supply a covered picnic table. We stayed right on the beach without any services. The cost is $10 per night. If you pay for 7 nites at a time you get 2 free water fills and 2 dumps included, otherwise the cost is $8. The RV park is right across the street from the beach. We have a 42 foot diesel motorhome so the sand is very able to handle any size unit. Lots of fishing, shelling, crabbing. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is not a sophisticated campground because the bulk of the sites are on rough gravel roads and there are not a lot of amenities. There are some pull through sites are on a paved lot. The sites are of various sizes but roomy site were plentiful during the winter. Proximity to the beach is excellent. Campground has a secure restroom and shower for sites with electric hookups. There is an open restroom on the beach for dry campers that was usually pretty nasty and another restroom and showerhouse on the beach that is clean but only open during the day. A local free trolley comes to the pier that is within walking distance and goes through Port Aransas every hour. There is public bus transportation to Corpus Christi for $1 round trip. This is a great campground for those who don't need all the TV, pools, activities, etc. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great park for beach lovers - just 100 yards (over the dunes) to the Gulf. Room for larger rigs, though the pull-throughs were still in development when we were there. Very helpful park staff and plenty of quiet. Road VERY rough coming in, but only 1/2 mile to downtown. Fun to watch the giant barges head down the channel to sea. Great bird-watching - even had a heron nesting near our site. Lots of fun local seafood restaurants, some on the beach. Sites not too close together. A beautiful, though windy place in winter. We hope to go back many times. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The sites in this park are very close together. It rained the whole time we were there, and we couldn't open our awning because we were too close to our neighbor. Also our slide out was very close to the neighbor. It's a very noisy park because it's close to the roadway. The staff is not well organized. We had problems with all 3 reservations that we had. The owner was quite rude. We will never stay there again. We booked at Pioneer for next year. Two thumbs down for On The Beach. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Campsites are very close together. Had to move our vehicle a few times to accomodate our neighbors coming in or leaving. If you want to be close to the beach, this is a good spot though. You don't have to walk far to feel the sand between your toes. However, we went there during spring break and the noise at night on the beach and the beach access road was pretty loud from the music from cars. Not a horrible experience if you just want to stay a few days. We will probably scope out different parks in the area before trying this one again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

It was interesting to read a recent review of this park that stated it was a neat little place to stay, or some such wording. Sorry, but we could not agree less! We stayed at this park in site F4 for a month, or what we thought was for a month. We checked in on December 20 and checked out on January 20. According to the office staff, those dates constitute a month and a day. So, we ended up paying for a full month and the alleged extra day, and an extra day's fee for our pet. Oh yes, they nickel and dime you to death at On The Beach! The sites are unbelievably close together, and are a challenge to enter and exit, especially when one is pulling a 34-foot travel trailer behind a 20-foot long one-ton truck! There was absolutely no way we could have had our awning out because it would have certainly touched the motorhome parked next to us. Oh sure, it's wonderful being 150 yards from the beach, but that's the only positive that can be written about this park. The owners and park workers (other RVers) blatantly cater to the RVers who are there for the entire winter, and certainly to those who've made On The Beach their winter home for a few years (we're still wondering why that is). Those who do stay for the winter are really into socializing on a daily basis, and if one does not get involved in their Happy Hour get togethers (some people just don't imbibe), or movie night or Ladies Lunch Out ventures, that's pretty much the last time they even speak to you. The other major, major problem with this park was with their WiFi that they claim they have available. Well, it didn't work properly for three-and-a-half of the four weeks (and a day) we stayed there! My wife and I have individual laptops, and it cost us a total of $40 for the entire time we were there. Because their wireless internet was not working properly (they assured us, on a daily basis, that it was being repaired) we thought we might be entitled to a partial refund. Nope. There are many other nicer looking, better laid out parks in Port Aransas and, in hindsight, we likely should have stayed in one of the other parks. If we ever return to this area, we will definitely not stay at On The Beach. We'd strongly recommend you look for an alternative as well. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Older design with perceived ' smaller ' situation, this park falls into the 'really neat' category ! NOT for overly fussy, perfectionist types who tediously demand the ' all ducks in a row' community type exhibits. This park is perfect for the area - its toes touch the beach, it's breezy, its pleasantly informal and indeed has a recreational personality. It's clients are typically mature but pleasantly down to earth. Yes, it can be sandy, stony, breezy & other ' negatives', but it IS at a beach. For those who know how to truly relax, how to truly be near a beach and how to adjust their attitude & tolerance levels, this park is great ! For those who want the boring, overly organized, pigeons-in-a-box, golf course appearance, 'retirement home' atmosphere ... this park is not for you ! We see this type of complainer posting, sadly, online reviews that are severely incorrect in their total misjudgement of this ' neat' little park that is indeed " on the Beach ". I suggest to serious folks who aren't too wrapped in their own veneer to simply discard the recent two or three sour grape attacks posted online about this park. Yes - a little tight here and there, but all in all a relaxed, nifty little spot that is truly near the water. This, from a quite long timer who has good things to say about only a handful of parks nation wide ! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is the park you want if you want to be very close to the beach. We had site B 12 and it was great. Nice view of the beach and gulf. Work campers in the office were friendly and helpful. This is definitely an older park but is very much like most parks right on the beach. Sites are pretty close together but with no immediate neighbors, that was not a problem. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Absolutely the worst RV park I have ever seen, or stayed. The staff is extremely rude. The grounds are poorly kept. The sites are far too close together and as far as I can tell, in thirty years, they have NEVER bothered to upgrade anything. Yes, it is very close to the beach, however, you will pay dearly for this - as the sounds at night are very loud. You will hear people shouting and a lot of vehicle traffic. The park was vandalized/robbed TWICE while I was there (once each night). We were asked to move our fifth wheel while we were there, however the staff failed to realize they were asking us to move into a site which was inadequate -from a 50amp service to a 30amp service... And once we pointed this out, they reluctantly gave us back our money. We promptly moved to another RV park Finally, there is no concrete to be found at On-The-Beach RV park, and each site is so close together that if the staff doesn't help you, you will not be able to maneuver the alleys/roads... much less park your trailer. Horrible is the best word I can use. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We came very close to staying here, but were so turned off by the attitude of the staff that we opted to stay elsewhere. The first thing we noticed is that they are very disorganized ,sloppy about record keeping, one has to constantly correct them. I actually found myself wondering if they were perpetually intoxicated. Second, there is no evidence of gratitude for your business. You get the feeling they feel they're doing their guests a favor. The dealbreaker was their extremely high and rigid cancellation fees (even with 30 days notice). They assured us they're always nearly full so they can clearly fill the spaces -- they really cash in on cancellations. I'm ok with stict policies (with the exception of their extreme cancellation fees) if you have your house in order and understand that your guests *are* your business but the overall vibe of this place was so bad that we decided we didn't want to support this park. We won't be recommending it to others. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I was surprised to read the prior reviews. We camped at this campground this past June & absolutely loved it! It is literally 'on the beach' & on the quaint, rustic side. While the sites are a little small, we had no problem fitting our 36 ft, 4 slide 5th wheel into a site & was even able to use our awning easily. The staff were work campers & they were very friendly & informative! They were leaving in August so no doubt, new people are working the desk now. To get to the beach, you walk to the back of the campground to where there's a gate & then follow along a wooden decked sidewalk till you arrive at the beach - believe me, it's right there! We could walk from the beach to our campsite in a minute. We had a wonderful time during our stay & we will be returning. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Close to Gulf, sites small but acceptable, Staff very good, we will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Campsites are way too close together, packed in like sardines. Too close to even put out your awning. Good for overnight stay only, not long term. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We actually kept our camper here all summer. Very close to the ocean. The sites are not level, they are made of shell and don't look that great....but its VERY close to the ocean and the staff is very friendly. We had a great time here. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We booked a stay here but upon arrival changed our minds and went elsewhere. The roads are not paved. They are made of crushed oyster shell. The sites are crushed oyster shell with a concrete patio/picnic pad. The grass was sparse. The sites were tight as were the roads in the park. Class A's, I think would have a difficult time. All this dirt and oyster shell translates into one thing....dust. No thanks. It's only saving grace is that it's on the beach. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped for the first time at this park. The park was very clean it had concrete pads in front of the camp sites and picnic tables. The roads were a little tight to turn and park, most were pull-thru. The restroom/shower was clean but only one shower/toilet in the mens. Stones throw from the beach. Lady that checked us in was real nice Norma was her name I think. We will be going back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a nice park, but expensive. And, then they charge extra for our 3 kids. Desk staff wasn't that friendly, but the guy who escorted us to our site was like a long-lost grandpa. There wasn't much water in their ponds. The grass or lack thereof is a challenge to deal with. Our dog and kids had stickers everywhere. The sites are concrete, and the boardwalk to the beach are positive amenities, but the close sites and grass burrs really detract from the appeal of this place. We have returned because there is no decent competition. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Over priced for a slab of cement almost awning to awning near the beach (rate reflects super site + cable + electric for a week), which was covered with seaweed and unusable other than to walk on if you could find a path. Was told super site simply meant closer to the boardwalk (needs to be cleaned off) and the large pool (which was closed for 2.5 days of the 7 we were there for cleaning and repair). Very hot and humid and windy this time of year and we would not return to Mustang later than April 1 if we come again. Lots of seasonal Winter Texans and weekend local trailers take up sites with annual rental. Great place to come for quiet beach life, as the town is geared to lots of restaurants (Shells and Pelican Landing were the best we found) and expensive beach shops, many of whom are open when they feel like it during this time of year. Trolley to downtown every hour; 2 pools; lots of rules without much observance or consequence; pet friendly but many don't "pick up"; very friendly workampers; would return if rate was better and didn't have to pay for cable. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We really loved this park. It is just yards away from the beach, and their Wi-Fi was wonderful. This park was kept very clean, the sites are cement pads, and the laundry room and bathrooms and showers were all very clean at all times. The pool was clean also, and much fun for the family. The only strike I would give them is that they needed to keep their boardwalk clear of sand. The management hosts, and full-time neighbors were all great. This is an awesome place to stay and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again. (We stayed a month.) We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park has it all! Great, friendly staff. Great location. Very nice amenities. Nice, level, cement pads with wide spaces for your slideouts. Easy, short walk to the beach. Very family friendly and safe. Cable hookups for those rare occasions when you have down time. I can't really say anything bad about this park. I will definitely stay here again if I am in the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We camped here with an Escapee Rally. The park has paved roadways and parking spots. The rec building and pools are great -- clean and up to date. The walk to the beach is really a plus since you don't have to drive your vehicle to the beach. The drive to Port Aransas is only 4 miles or you can take the trolley. The park staff are doing a great job here. The Wi-Fi is really good with many pick-up points around the park. The new golf course is next door for golfers. We will definitely return in the future. One suggestion, drive thru Corpus Christi and along the road on Mustang Island to reach the park. Skip the ferry unless you don't mind long waits. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice park! Weather could have been better. Great fishing in the area. Friendly and helpful staff. Many activities in March before the "Winter Texan's" leave for home. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice park with a private boardwalk leading to the beach. It is about 3 miles south of Port Aransas so you'll need to drive or ride the trolley to get to stores and restaurants. The pull-through sites are just large enough for a big rig and car, and the pads were all concrete with a small patio and picnic table. The pool and spa facilities were very nice, as were the office and common areas. Staff were very friendly and very helpful, which is no small accomplishment in a park as big and busy as this one is! We were there during peak season (spring break) and did not have any problems or inconveniences. We will surely go back! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Although the park is within walking distance via a private boardwalk, the park has 500 sites and is like a small city. We wanted to camp here for a month but we wound up being shuffled to different campsites every week or so because they were "full" during spring break in March. We noticed many empty premium sites all through the park but were told they were unavailable. If you have a site by "the fence" you will hear the road noise from highway 361--the main road through Port Aransas. During spring break, the place was packed with unruly adolescents and their friends. Many teens drove electric golf carts through the park at top speed. Some raided coolers from adult campsites. And, despite camp quiet hours, many of these spring breakers partied well into the night. If this reflects the "family friendly" label for this park, we'll probably go elsewhere next time. Perhaps the place has a more civilized atmosphere during the fall and winter months when many Winter Texans find refuge from the cold weather states. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Rate is monthly. Great location. Easy beach access and the trolley to town (25 cents) stops hourly. Site are fairly close but still room for slides & lawn chairs on small concrete patio. Good wifi. Good satelite reception. Good cell phone reception. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here 6 nights while visiting friends in the area. The staff was friendly and helpful. While we were there we looked at the other RV parks in the area and concluded that Pioneer was the nicest for the price. Gulf Waters was probably the nicest but is quite a bit more money. The park was almost full with snowbirds while we were there. Gulf Waters was probably 1/3 full probably because of the price. There is a trolley that comes by hourly that will take you into town. Riding a bike on the beach is just a fantastic experience. We will stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great facility! Clean, spacious, paved sites. Easy to access pull throughs and convenient hookups. Great location, with a short walk to the beach, and very short drive to the town of Port Aransas. Super friendly staff, and fun planned activities. Pools looked great; we didn't swim because the weather was a bit chilly. Quiet at night; the only sounds are the ocean breezes and waves lapping on the shore. We will stay here again. It is a first rate vacation destination. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here for two months this past winter. We had never been to Port Aransas before and fell in love with it. The weather was perfect and the park is located just over the dunes from a fabulous beach. The staff was wonderful and there are lots of planned daily activities. The park is mostly cement but it is pretty and the sites are all level with cement patios. Everything was spotless and we really loved it. We would definitely return to this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice park with the main asset being the proximity to the beach. Good social programs including aerobics, golf, Thanksgiving Dinner, weekend breakfasts, etc. Sites are on the small size, with narrow roadways making it somewhat difficult for larger units to manipulate. WiFi & cable work very well. $30 per night includes extra charge for cable... also electrical is extra. If we come back to Texas next winter, we plan to stay here for the month of November. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Great location - only a dune away from the beach. There is a nice boardwalk across the dune as well as a fresh-water rinse station. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. The restroom/shower facilities were immaculately clean. The sites were a little close together, and there were a number of sticker-burrs. The park charges $3.00 per person per day for more than 2 people at a site. The rate of $42 per night includes an extra $9.00 we were charged because of our 3 children. We will return, but the price (and published increase effective April 2009 of $4.00 per person over 2 per site) will limit returns. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Huge, well maintained, excellent friendly staff. We stayed during offseason so it was practically empty towards the back. All concrete pads/driveways. Food at the rec hall was cheap and worth it when too tired from all day beach/fishing. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is by far the best place our family has stayed at. This place is perfect for young families. There is plenty to do for the small children, yet is active enough for parents who also like to have a good time. Having the beach within walking beach was great. In our group were people in their 40's 30's 20' teens and small children and everyone enjoyed their stay and couldn't wait to come back. Port Aransas also has so much to offer for everyone looking for summer fun. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a really nice campground. They do not allow you to request a particular site in the campground to park even if the park is not full! Apparently, they are booked solid through the summer and project an attitude of needing to cooperate with their patrons. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This RV park is HUGE... and for the most part - well-managed, however, the reason I rated it as a "6" is because some of the sites are older, and this is where they put us, and as a result, it was very difficult to get into, and extremely hard to get out of. And, during our stay, one of the permanent residents there was constantly "remodeling" his trailer and was parked in several adjacent slots. It was noisy, and treated as a junk-yard during our entire (7-day) stay. The staff were friendly, the pool well-kept, the hot tub well-managed, and overall, the property is nice. But, due to our "neighbors", this stay was not one of our better experiences. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a good location if you wish to visit Port Aransas. There are many pull thru sites with all the necessary hook ups. No trees and a little distance from the beach. However, they do have a built walk way to the beach area. It was very windy while we were here so did get to enjoy being outside at the campsite. One thing we did notice is they seem to put everyone on top of one another. There were many empty campsites but they had all of us side by side at one end of the campground. It would be nice if the staff would give some consideration to this arrangement especially when the park is far from full. We did not use the facilities in the camp ground so no comment there. And we've noticed that the word RV Resort seems to be miss used in many of the camp grounds in that they are far from my idea of a resort. We would stay here again for the convenience of visiting the gulf coast. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We loved this park. Very close to the Gulf (just walk across the boardwalk), and also close to Port Aransas, so it was very easy to run into town for a nice seafood dinner. The park is extremely clean, everyone is very helpful, and there are plenty of facilities for all campers. We would highly recommend this facility for anyone visiting the Texas coast. By the way, you can drive on the beach in Port Aransas, so many campers bring their "beach carts" to drive back and forth to the beach from their trailers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We spent the month of March here and could not have been more happy with our choice. But lets face it when you are a short walk from the beach its easy to overlook any of the small complaints, if any, you can find with this park. It does however pay to remember that you are on the ocean and most days were windy. Perhaps a blessing in July and August but a bit annoying in March. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wow! This is a great place to stay. Beautiful campground with all paved roads and sites, very nice facilities - two pools, activity center, woodworking center, fish cleaning area, etc. and great staff. If you love birds, you'll love this park. Birding areas are included inside the park with many sites right next to them. Activities are slowing down now that it is April but if you are here in the winter, you will never have a dull moment. You could wear yourself out going to everything. Folks here in the park are real nice and friendly too. The beach is just a short walk (or drive)away. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice park with a lot of activities on site. You can walk down the boardwalk to the beach from the park or enjoy one of their two pools. The only drawback for us was that the sites are a little small. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park with one or two problems: blind side back-ins and narrow streets which made backing in a problem. Luckily there were no RVs parked across from us! Staff was not overly friendly or knowledgeable: asked for a place to eat and they could not tell us. But they did adjust our daily rate to a weekly rate when we decided to stay 7 nights instead of 4. Laundry was clean and neat. We will probably go back, but request sites away from the highway noise and one easier to get into. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is one of the nicest RV parks we have ever stayed in. We had an electrical issue upon arrival, and by the time I returned from the office they were out working to fix the problem. A great location with great staff. Plenty of grassy areas and a short walk to the beach. We will defnitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We are first time campers at this campground; we really enjoyed the park. The large pool was very nice and clean. Maintenance and ground keeping was actively being performed while we were staying at the park. The board walk to the beach was well maintained, the beach access was easy to reach. We would definitely stay at this park again and recommend it to friends. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Pretty much your typical RV Park. The one thing that I absolutely hated was the fact that they allowed the golf carts on the board walk to the beach. There is not enough room for a person walking and a golf cart to pass. You either have to jump up on the railing or back step to a bench where you can stand on that to let them pass. In my point of view, they shouldn't allow this. It wasn't as if there were only one or two golf carts in the park either. There were a lot. The sites were nice and level thanks to the cement pads you parked on. The beach is a 5 minute walk tops from anywhere in the park. Clean and well kept. Free high speed internet which was nice also. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a nice park with a great location near the beach. The sites are concrete and level, although slightly tight. The restrooms/showers had a ant problem and really need major remodeling. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Our first impression made us question our choice of camp ground, as all we saw was a crowded parking lot, that was completely full of RVs. As we walked around, we realized that it is only a short walk to the beach. The sand dunes prohibit you from seeing the beach from your site. The pool was one of the best I've ever seen. We started liking where we were. There were lots of young families like us. The campers were very friendly. The office staff could be a little nicer, but we didn't have any problems. The trolley does stop at this campground. Its a short distance to town. On weekends, the campground kitchen sells burgers and such at a reasonable price. After driving around town, we realized this was the best park. We had a great time and would definitely go back! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Pleasant campground, just yards from the Gulf. Beaches are not pristine in this area; tons of washed up seaweed not yet cleaned up. Our perspective is this: The beaches are not taken care of; dogs crap on them, the drunks leave their beer can trash, and driving on them should be stopped. As far as Pioneer is concerned; watch where you step!!! No dog scooping done here! Quiet time at nite not enforced. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The staff were most accommodating, helpful and friendly. We were parked directly across from a pond which was home to various types of birds. The grounds were very clean and the other campers, as usual, were very friendly. We will definitely enjoy returning to this location We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Wonderful campground. Just a hop, skip and a jump to the water. Beach was just wonderful. Bathrooms and showers very well maintained. Staff was awesome. Very, Very helpful. Grass at the all the sites. Would definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for 5 days. A lot to do In the area. And lots of fresh seafood from the docks nearby. The staff there is very helpful with just about anything you might need. It has great beach acess also. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here 3 nights and had a great time. Our site number 325 was right at the boardwalk that goes to the beach. We could hear the ocean surf at our site. The staff was very friendly. The resort is clean and well maintained. Cable TV costs extra, but worth it. WiFi is free and a little slower than our DSL service at home. The premium sites have plenty of room. We would definitely go back. It will be a shame if the resort closes next year. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Many, many RV Parks to choose from in this area. We picked a good one. The boardwalk to the beach was a great feature and we used it daily. There's really just one road that runs along the island so all the parks are close to the road. I've seen others complain here about road noise, but I think you'd get that at any of the parks on S.H. 361. The sites are quite close together with just a 10 foot swatch of grass separating them. There are no trees whatsoever, that's the price you pay for being 300 yards from the beach. Shower and bathrooms located conveniently throughout the park. There were two swimming pools, which we didn't use in December. The club house calendar was full of activities for snowbirds staying for months. We were just visiting for a few days but made to feel welcome by the staff. We arrived Christmas Day and the office was closed. There was an envelope ready and waiting in the "late arrival" desk - well organized office ! Very good cable TV line up and great, fast WiFi service. There are several WiFi antennas throughout the park. A twenty-five cent trolley to town comes by hourly. Lots to do in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is an excellent value. The premium sites are worth the additional price if you like to be able to hear the ocean from your rig. They also offer free WIFI throughout the park, which is very rare. There is an additional charge for electric service if you stay a week or longer. Lots of activities at the rec hall, including breakfast and lunch served on the weekends. This is also a great value, since you can have a full breakfast for about $3 per person, and it's a great way to meet other people. They do charge you $10 for a mailbox key if you want to receive mail, but you get that back at checkout. They also give you information on the area at check-in, including a schedule of the trolley that stops at the park every hour during the day. We enjoyed this park so much that we extended our stay an extra week. The park is under contract to a developer and their website does provide information regarding how much longer they'll be taking reservations. One employee did tell us he thought it would be two to three more years before they closed. We hope so, because we'll definitely be back! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Hard to beat this place or this time of year for visiting it. Very friendly office staff, grounds, rest rooms all spotless. Nice sized spaces, good hookups, very good wifi included in price. Some signs of deferred maintenance since the place is threatened with closure due to condo conversion. The hot tub badly needs refurbishing and replastering, the pools are not heated but were really refreshing and great for lap swimming. Gorgeous beach of fine sand was so firm you can ride your (fat tire) bikes on it. Really nice boardwalk to the beach also constructed so you can ride your bikes over the dunes to the beach. Loved our stay here and will keep coming back until the condo pirates get it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Excellent place to kick back, eat seafood and walk the beach. Real nice faciliities and friendly staff. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park was really nice. The people that worked there were pretty helpful. We felt they had a personnel problem and did not feel real welcome by one of their outside workers. But other than that, it was an ok place to visit. Great broadwalk to the beach! Lots of birds to view. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The previous reviewer and I must have been staying in 2 different parks. First of all, there is indeed no shade. There is no shade anywhere in this area of Texas, and especially so on a beach area. Get over it. You want trees, go to Tennessee. You want beach, come here. Second, there was no road noise. The park is set back from the road and the big rig area is even farther back, near the beach. And, the traffic in November is not heavy. Neither my wife nor I heard any road noise, day or night, and we are sensitive to that. Third, the beach is a short walk over a very nice boardwalk across the dunes. The boardwalk is wide, lighted at night, and very well maintained by the owners of the park. Now, as to the park itself. My wife is disabled, so that is something we are very conscious of when it comes to evaluating a park. Pioneer rates high in that category. The showers are in enclosed rooms and very private and include a toilet. We just wish there were more than 2. That did make for waiting at times, unless you wanted to walk to the other building. The park was absolutely level with concrete pads and each site had a good grassy area (which our dog liked). It was very easy for handicap access and my wife was able to get to the beach in her scooter for the first time in years over the boardwalk. The park was very clean and there was little noise. The pool was large and clean. There is a small store on site for the necessaries (milk, soda, etc). On Sundays there is a pancake breakfast which is ok. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Grass is mowed regularly and garbage is picked up daily by park staff at your site. We were not crowded, but then it was not that time of year. Even so, the sites are wide enough so no one should feel hemmed in. One caveat: if you have dogs, watch out for walking them in grass areas surrounding the park as there are scads of cockleburrs to get in the fur and pads. WiFi access was good. As was cell phone reception. Check in and out was easy. The town of Port Aransas was a short 3 miles away. Close enough to get food or other supplies, go for take out barbeque (some of the best I've ever had) or seafood, as well as bait or fishing equipment; and yet far enough so it was not intrusive. A shuttle bus to and from town runs all day long. Fishing was very good right in the surf at the end of the boardwalk. Overall, highly recommended and we plan to return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

A large rv park with paved streets & sites. Street noise from the main road adjoining the campground. Restrooms & showers were OK. No shade. Long walk to the beach. Inconvenient to the town of Port Aransas. It is several miles away. There is a city run shuttle service however. I would not want to stay here for more than a day as there is nothing to do (i.e. no shopping close by, not close to water, etc.) I believe this park appeals to snowbirds who just want a place to stay for the winter. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park!Very nice and helpful staff. The beach is just short walk over the nice broadwalk.The playground is very small.Good park for families. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Very nice park. They have 2 pools and a hot tub. The best part to me was being able to just walk over the dunes to the beach via the boardwalk. I loved being so close to the beach. They were very nice and had no problem giving us a refund when we were evacuated due to Hurricane Claudette. I would highly recommend this park. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is by far the best campground we have stayed in. We arrived during their office hours and were escorted to our site via a nice gentleman named Tony. He assisted my husband in backing our travel trailer into the site. They have two beautiful pools, a small playground, boardwalk to the beach, a game room, and laundry. The store had everything you could need. Staff was wonderful. They answered all of my sea shell questions with smiles. Kids had a great time. I would recommend this resort to anyone. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This was our maiden trip in a new fifth wheel to unfamilar territory and we were not dissappointed. The park as far as I am concerned could not be out done. The place was spotless! The activities endless and the scenery wonderful. Many of the campers were "Winter Texans" and a joy to be around and converse with, the surf fishing wasn't bad either. All in all we had wonderful time and would recommend this facility to anyone. Also the beach is just over the sand dunes an easy walk over the boardwalk. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A very clean resort with well kept grounds and bathrooms. 2 swimmimg pools. Free trolley ride every hour into town. Well stocked campground store. Less than 100 yard walk to Gulf of Mexico if you get in the row of sites nearest to the beach. We camped here in a camper.

A very quiet area with about a 5 minute walk to beach. We were there in the off-season, so may be different in the summer. They require a $20 refundable deposit for a 30 amp to 50 amp line. Cable not too expensive at $2/day. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice park. No real activities but a good place to stay when visiting this area. Friendly staff. I would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We will be returning to Surfside for our 4th year this year. We love it. They are 2 blocks from the beach. The pool and restrooms are kept incredibly clean and the management is super doper friendly. Most RV parks are about the same, but the management of Surfside, (Mr Rhea), truly make this park special. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Can walk to the beach - only a couple of blocks away. Stayed because friends were in a condo 2 blocks away on beach. Small sites - just fit 29 ft Class C and toad. ONLY 50 amp power - have to leave a $20 deposit for adapter for 30 amp. Sites VERY close together, luckily they weren't full. Some long term individuals that let animals run loose and bark for a long time. Also loud music one night. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The Pros- clean, well kept/maintained. Central to town, shopping, restraunts. The Cons- No beach access and not within walking distance. Spaces are small. Too narrow and too short. Our awning was only inches from the rig next to us. We had to park on the grass next to our pad even though we only have a 28' TT. A 40'class A will just fit but no room for your towed. The pool closed daily at 9:00 PM. Some guests tied their dogs up outside their rig while gone or inside. The rest of the guests got to listen to these dogs wailing, howling and barking for several hours. It should be noted that this is against park rules but nothing was done about it. A deposit ($5.00) is required for a key to the showers "refundable upon return of the key". Unless you checkout 15 minutes past checkout time and even though nobody was waiting to occupy the site. This place will do in a pinch but it would be my 2nd or 3rd choice. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
