Rockport RV Resort

185 RV Sites, 3 Cabins

Rockport RV Resort in Texas offers 185 full-hookup RV sites and three cabins on the Coastal Bend, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 100 feet. Deluxe and premium back-in and pull-through categories join a standard tier, with a boat ramp, outdoor pool, hot tub, fitness center, and library. One hundred eighty-five sites span standard back-in, deluxe back-in 30/50-amp, deluxe pull-thru 30/50-amp, premium back-in 30/50-amp, and premium pull-thru 30/50-amp categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 100 feet. One hundred feet is exceptional capacity and accommodates the longest coaches with a tow — a genuine advantage in a market full of winter Texans in large rigs. Three cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, RV storage, and boat storage handle the practical side. A boat ramp opens the water for boating and fishing, with an outdoor pool, hot tub and sauna, fitness center, clubhouse, game room, library, billiards, shuffleboard, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, biking, a pond, pavilion, and dog park filling the rest. A state park is nearby. Pets are welcome. Rockport and Fulton sit at one of the Gulf Coast's most celebrated points for birding, fishing, and waterfront living. The Aransas National Wildlife Refuge's whooping crane wintering grounds are close, and Aransas Bay's redfish and speckled trout draw anglers from across the state. Winter Texans fill the Coastal Bend November through April. Reserve well ahead for that window and for summer weekends.

Reel Chill RV Resort

130 RV Sites

Reel Chill RV Resort in Rockport, Texas, offers 130 full-hookup RV sites with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet, at a newly constructed property on the Gulf Coast. Back-in, pull-through, and a dedicated I-35-side back-in category join a boat ramp, beach, pool, and clubhouse in Aransas County. One hundred thirty sites run in back-in, back-in along I-35, and pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 60 feet. Flagging the highway-side sites as their own category is unusually candid — you know what you are booking. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and RV storage handle the practical side. The resort has invested in making its site accessible to people with disabilities. A boat ramp gives direct water access for fishing, with an outdoor pool, clubhouse, and beach filling the rest. The property is new throughout, which shows in the facilities. Pets are welcome. Rockport and Fulton sit at the center of one of the most rewarding coastal stretches in Texas — a coastline defined by Aransas Bay, Copano Bay, and the undeveloped Gulf shoreline of the barrier islands. The Aransas National Wildlife Refuge's whooping crane wintering grounds are nearby, and the redfish and speckled trout fishing is among the state's best. Fishing season and winter Texan demand drive the calendar here. Reserve ahead for the November-to-April window and for summer beach weekends.

Copano Bay RV Resort

Copano Bay RV Resort in Rockport, TX, offers full-hookup back-in RV sites carrying water, sewer, and electric, with site-delivered WiFi.

Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a business center, a library, a clubhouse, a recreation center, a community fire pit, a pet washing station, and boat storage cover the practical side. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The amenity list is one of the deepest in this batch: an outdoor pool, a fitness center, a game room with billiards and ping pong, a fishing pier, boat docks, a boat ramp, a beach, a pavilion, sport courts, volleyball, basketball, corn hole, walking trails, and a lake, with fishing, boating, kayaking, swimming, birding, stargazing, and planned activities. Rockport sits on Copano Bay in Aransas County on the Texas Coastal Bend, near the whooping crane wintering grounds of the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, the Fulton Mansion, Rockport Beach Park, the Connie Hagar refuge, and the Big Tree.

Thirty-five apartments, cottages, hotel rooms, and bunkhouses round out an unusually broad lodging mix. A general store, laundry, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with a clubhouse, beach, walking trails, golf cart rentals, a dog park, on-site dining, a bar, and a snack bar filling the rest.

Aloha Beach RV Resort

27 RV Sites

Aloha Beach RV Resort in Port Aransas, TX, offers 27 full-hookup RV sites with 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 60 feet. Sites come in four categories — regular back-in, regular pull-through, premium back-in, and wetland view premium back-in — all carrying water, sewer, and electric. Note the electrical: the resort runs 50-amp service, so a rig wired for lighter service will need an adapter. At 60 feet the pull-throughs take a long coach. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, boat storage, recycling, and WiFi cover the rest. Pets are welcome. An outdoor pool and beach access support swimming, birding, and boating, and the wetland view sites are worth the upgrade if you care about the birds. Port Aransas sits at the northern tip of Mustang Island where Aransas Pass meets the Gulf — barrier island beach, deep-sea and bay fishing, and some of the best birding infrastructure on the Texas coast. Rates by site category are on the booking page. Wetland view premiums are limited and book first, especially during spring migration.

Community RV Resorts Corpus Christi

262 RV Sites

Community RV Resorts Corpus Christi in Gregory, Texas, offers 262 full-hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 75 feet, behind a gated entrance on the Coastal Bend.

Two hundred sixty-two sites span entrance back-in, premium exterior back-in, premium exterior back-in with partial fence, and premium pond back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 20, 30, and 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 75 feet. The partially fenced sites are an unusual and genuinely useful option for guests with dogs. A laundry, propane fills and exchange, restrooms, showers, boat storage, personal mailboxes, and a business center handle the practical side. An outdoor pool, spa, and hot tub and sauna anchor daily recreation, with a clubhouse and recreation center for the social calendar and billiards indoors. A lake and pond support fishing, with a beach and boating besides. A golf course is nearby. Pets are welcome. Gregory sits just north of Corpus Christi in the protected bay country between Corpus Christi Bay and the Nueces River delta, where Gulf Coast birding, fishing, and beach recreation converge. The Texas State Aquarium, the USS Lexington, the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History, the South Texas Botanical Gardens, and Northshore Country Club are all close. Winter Texan season and spring migration drive the heaviest demand on the Coastal Bend. Reserve ahead for those months.

On The Beach RV Park

81 RV Sites

On the Beach RV Park in Port Aransas, Texas, offers 81 full-hookup RV sites steps from the Gulf, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout.

Eighty-one sites span deluxe back-in 30/50-amp, deluxe pull-in 30/50-amp, deluxe pull-thru 30/50-amp, premium back-in 30/50-amp, and oversized premium back-in categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with picnic tables. The oversized premium back-in category is the one to request if you need the room. A laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. Contact the resort before your arrival date to confirm the check-in procedure. The beach is the amenity — guests walk from their site to the sand in moments, which eliminates the driving and shuttling most coastal camping requires. A recreation center, lake, walking trails, and dog park fill the rest, with boating, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and productive birding besides. Walk to the Lydia Ann Channel, take a golf cart through downtown to the jetty, or charter a boat. Pets are welcome.

Lake Corpus Christi RV Resort

10 RV Sites

Lake Corpus Christi RV Resort in Sandia, Texas, offers 10 full-hookup RV sites on the lakeshore, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 60 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. Waterfront back-in and waterfront pull-through categories join standard tiers, with a boat ramp, fishing pier, and paved sites. Ten sites span back-in, pull-through, waterfront back-in, and waterfront pull-through categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 60 feet, with picnic tables. Half the categories are waterfront and worth requesting, and 60 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow. The paved pads mean a level, all-weather site. A laundry, dump station, and restrooms handle the practical side. A boat ramp and fishing pier on the property open the lake for boating, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing. The amenity set is deliberately spare — a laundry, a dump station, and restrooms — which keeps rates low at a park where half the sites sit on the water. Paved pads mean level, all-weather parking, and the layout stays uncrowded at ten sites. Pets are welcome. Lake Corpus Christi covers about 18,000 acres on the Nueces River — one of South Texas's most popular freshwater lakes, with good largemouth and white bass fishing and room to boat without coastal-bay pressure. The state park is close and Corpus Christi about 40 minutes southeast. Spring and fall bring the best fishing and the most comfortable South Texas conditions, with summer drawing boating and swimming traffic and mild winters bringing winter Texans. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.

Beach Rd RV Park

22 RV Sites

Beach Rd RV Park in Matagorda, Texas, offers 22 full-hookup RV sites at the mouth of the Colorado River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 42 feet in back-in and pull-through configurations. On-site fishing guides and beach access serve a well-kept family park where the river meets the Gulf. Twenty-two sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in 30/50-amp back-in and pull-through categories, sized to 42 feet, with picnic tables and site WiFi. Note the 42-foot limit before booking a larger rig. A dump station handles the practical side. Pets are welcome. Fishing organizes everything here. On-site fishing guides are available, which matters in water where local knowledge separates a good day from a blank one. Beach access, boating, water sports, canoeing, and kayaking round out the recreation, giving guests both the bay's shallow-water flats and the Gulf shoreline from a single base. Matagorda sits at the end of TX-60 in Matagorda County, where the Colorado River enters the Gulf of Mexico. The geography is unusual and genuinely useful — the freshwater river system, Matagorda Bay's fishing and crabbing, and Gulf beach access all converge within a few minutes of the park. The surrounding community is a small working fishing town rather than a resort development, and the recreational and commercial fishing economy still drives it. The park operates through the Texas coast season. Fishing runs strong across much of the year, with the warm months bringing the heaviest family and beach demand. With 22 sites, reserve ahead for summer weekends and holiday periods.

Boating and fishing run from the area, and the surrounding coastal prairie makes for exceptional bird and wildlife watching. Pets are welcome. Van Vleck sits in Matagorda County on the Colorado River's lower reach. Matagorda Bay, the Mad Island Marsh Preserve, and the Colorado River delta form one of the most productive shorebird and wading bird habitats on the Texas coast, with the Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge north and Matagorda Island south. The resort operates year-round. Spring and fall migration draw birders, and the fishing season runs long on the Gulf Coast. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends.

Diamond Dale RV Park

24 RV Sites

Diamond Dale RV Park in Sargent, Texas, offers 24 full-hookup RV sites on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Back-in and pull-through 30/50-amp categories join a laundry and direct access to some of the most productive fishing water on the Texas coast. Twenty-four sites run in back-in 30/50-amp and pull-thru 30/50-amp categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple, and both carry the full amp range so any rig plugs in without an adapter. A laundry handles the practical side. Two preparation notes the park states plainly: water pressure regulators are highly recommended, and a certified collar is required for all sewer and grey water connections — worth checking your kit before you arrive. The waterway is the recreation, with fishing and boating from the property. The amenity set is deliberately spare, which keeps rates low and suits anglers who spend their days on the water. Pets are welcome. Matagorda County sits where the Colorado River meets the Gulf, and the estuarine system here — bay, marsh, and Intracoastal channel together — produces redfish, speckled trout, and flounder in quantities that draw serious anglers from across Texas. Commercial and recreational boat traffic moves through the waterway constantly, Matagorda Bay is close, and the beach at Sargent is minutes away. Spring and fall bring the best fishing and the most comfortable conditions on the middle Texas coast, with summer drawing beach and boating traffic. Reserve ahead for warm-weather weekends.
