Coastal Cove RV Resort
Coastal Cove RV Resort sits on Rattlesnake Road in Rockport, Texas—a quiet, country-setting resort positioned away from the busy highway corridors that serve the Texas Gulf Coast, offering the beauty and mild temperatures of the Aransas Bay area without the noise and density of the Rockport waterfront's more commercially developed zones. Rockport sits on the bay shore between Copano Bay and Aransas Bay in a section of the Texas coast that has built its reputation on two pillars: world-class coastal fishing and one of the most remarkable migratory bird concentrations on the Gulf Coast Flyway.
Large lots with pull-through options, 30 and 50-amp full hookup service, free WiFi, laundry facilities, personal mailboxes, and two ponds with nature features provide both the practical amenity set and the quiet landscape that distinguishes Coastal Cove from the resort-intensive campground market along the more developed South Texas coast. The golf course nearby and the water park access within the area complement the resort's own pond-centered outdoor environment for guests who want activity without leaving the Rockport area. The pet-friendly policy accommodates the travel animals that coastal Texas camping regularly involves.
Rockport is one of the most important wintering sites on the Central Flyway for Whooping Cranes—the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, north of Rockport on the Blackjack Peninsula, is the primary wintering ground for the only self-sustaining wild population of Whooping Cranes in the world, and the annual arrival of these five-foot-tall birds from their Canadian breeding grounds in September and October is one of the most celebrated wildlife events on the Texas coast. Boat tours from Rockport and Fulton into Aransas Bay provide the closest legal approach to the cranes in their estuarine wintering habitat, where the five-foot white birds feed on blue crabs in the bay's shallow marsh and tidal flat systems.
The Rockport-Fulton area's fishing infrastructure—guides, charter boats, kayak rentals, and the productive mix of redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and black drum that the shallow bay systems of Aransas, Copano, and Redfish Bay provide—attracts serious light-tackle anglers from across Texas and the Gulf states who target the wade-fishing and sight-casting opportunities that define the Texas coastal fishing experience. Goose Island State Park, eight miles north, provides camping, kayaking, and birding access in a live oak and coastal marsh environment alongside the Big Tree—a coastal live oak estimated at over 1,000 years of age and designated the Texas State Champion Coastal Live Oak. The Texas Maritime Museum and the Fulton Mansion State Historic Site in nearby Fulton interpret the coast's maritime and commercial history.
Coastal Cove RV Resort operates year-round in the subtropical Gulf Coast climate where Rockport's position between the bays delivers mild winter temperatures that make it one of the premier winter camping destinations on the Texas coast. The Whooping Crane season from October through March, combined with comfortable 60-70 degree days, drives consistent winter demand from birders and wildlife photographers who position in Rockport for the refuge access. Summer brings the full fishing season and the beach recreation at Rockport's municipal beach, and the Gulf's warm water temperatures make swimming pleasant from May through October.
