Campground Reviews

Jan 27, 2024
staff is Friendly, helpful/approachable.The campground needs lots of improvements/updates - we are told working on. The LOUD, OBNOXIOUS,BANGING disruption from Sea ranch marina is inexcusable & unfair! Texas must have nuisance laws! Early! Am/all day! Kristi GM protective of Marina rights-seemed non-empathetic to patrons. People need to know upfront about this disruption. Unit 96 abuts to Marina

Thanks for staying with us and for reaching out again. I'm glad you liked our staff. We're very lucky to have them! While I am was not able to regulate our neighbor's construction projects on their private property, I am very sorry that it negatively impacted your stay. Please accept my apology.

very expensive for old showers rooms and a tent for activities, been a year now and new construction has not started on new grand buildings

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. Construction delays are definitely frustrating. We appreciate your patience with us as we work through these hurdles and we can't wait to show off our completed projects as soon as possible.

Staff extremely friendly. Bathrooms clean. Jacuzzi could use some upgrading. Lost cable for 2 days. Unfortunately during bad weather and stuck inside. But certainly not KOA’s fault of weather. Sites were very close together. Trash pickup prompt

Clean facilities, nice place on the water, staff was helpful, and seems like good activities too - although we were unable to participate.

Service was incredible! Wish they had activities at reasonable hours. Love the text notifications. Do something about the wind - lol. �Ϝ

Thank you for staying with us. Some changes are in the works for our recreation department. Stay tuned for fantastic updates! We agree with you 100% about the wind! We have written several strongly worded letters to mother nature but no results yet. We hope to see you again soon!

very nice park. People are absolutely wonderful. they do a great job keeping park in tip top shape. Spaces are a little tight, but they do a great job helping get your rig in your site. And by the way i will return.

This campground does not meet the KOA standards that I am accustomed to. They intend to bring it back to those standards by later this year. We have many friends who have camped there and have discussed this with the new management. We feel the same way. If there are price increases, provide the minimum KOA standards we receive at other KOA's. We look forward to the improvements.

Thanks for staying with us! We are excited about the upcoming improvements to this beautiful campground. My door is always open if you have suggestions or requests. We are happy to do anything we can to make your stay the best it can be.

Very nice stay. Check in was easy the staff was friendly and always available and willing to assist. Only issue was the pool water was very cloudy.
Jan 05, 2024
We enjoyed our stay for the most part. We don’t like the fact that there were so many loud compressors running almost continuously during the day while washing the big rig RV’s. Very annoying when you get away for peace & quiet

James and staff were very friendly and helpful. The facilities are immaculate and the staff is always visible to assist with anything!!

RV sites way too close together. Unruly/obnoxious and loud group of people violating quiet time rules (partying all night) were behind us and made for a miserable stay. Kids of every size/shape/age in groups all over the place from dawn until midnight or beyond with no parental controls. Been coming for years but we won't be coming back.

The cabin was dirty, rusty and really smelly. We would not go back.

The tiny house smells a little like mildew and the back door had some patch work that was questionable. the back door didn't open with easy and the bathroom window you couldn't open at all. One of the windows in the bedroom was broken also but other than these minor things. The overall stay was amazing
Dec 20, 2023
Great other than having to listen to another campers dogs barking, barking, barking! Owners of the dog's could care less! Did report it.
Dec 18, 2023
Beautiful campground close to everything. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The free island bus shuttle was very convenient and picked up right in front of the campground. My only complaint is that we weren't able to stay longer. We will be back. Thank you!

Clean park with nice rock driveways to keep out the dirt. One of the best KOA’s we’ve stayed at. We really enjoyed our stay.
Dec 12, 2023
Great campground. Friendly and helpful staff. Upgrades so far are very nice.

We have camped in our motor home numerous times and loved it. This time we had family with us so needed a cabin. We had one with water view. The view was wonderful but the cabin not so much. The pull out couch mattress was terrible and you should not be staying that it sleeps six because that mattress is not usable. We will be back but I doubt we would ever rent the cabins again.

Stayed a week and had a good time. Staff and managers were very friendly and helpful. Nice space with plenty of room. Will stay again.
Dec 07, 2023
Pool was closed for 2 days. No hot water in men’s shower one night. Friendly check in staff.
Dec 06, 2023
Very nice and very comfortable.
Dec 04, 2023
Nice level space with great neighbors and near the marina and restaurants on the pier. Town is only a 5 mile long strip accessible by free metro bus if you take a short walk to the Visitor Center to pick it up. South Padre had just had rain so the mosquitos at dusk were vicious. We had a very nice visit. The temporary bathrooms worked well too for nice hot showers.

The park is old and the spots are tights. The pool and hot tub area needs major help. There were many days during our stay that both were very dirty. Someone needs to learn proper pool maintenance. There are plenty of work campers driving around in golf cart but not much work getting done. We heard alot of complaining among the staff. I expected more, especially for the price we paid.
Dec 03, 2023
Très bel endroit et les sites en gravel avec patio de brique dans grand espace, j'adore. Le personnel est disponible et serviable. Très proche de la mer c'est fantastique !
Dec 01, 2023
The additional restrooms are a great improvement. I hope that they will be a permanent fixture even after the new facility is built.

We stayed for 4 weeks and noticed a lot of small trash throughout the park. The dog park is on the small side and the dog walk has a large fire ant mound. The park felt small with the area by the bay blocked off due to the construction. This area was opened up for the Space X launch giving a great view.
Nov 30, 2023
The campground was nice and the staff was excellent. My one complaint is that there were no fire facilities at campsites. Especially the expensive patio sites. They should have grills and fire pits.
Nov 29, 2023
The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, caring and helpful. Always ready to help. It was disappointing our cabin did not have Wifi; the Keurig did not work; the banister on the deck came apart and two of the patio chairs needed repair. The cable TV did not work correctly and it took two maintenance personnel to get it working correctly. The location was great; looking out over the bay.
Nov 29, 2023
Very relaxing and enjoyable. All the staff were outstanding.

We rented a cottage that we found out later was to be demolished. We weren’t told that & the accommodations were horrible.no wifi, doors didn’t close,dangerous with electrical cords running around the cottage,some shades didn’t work, parts of the fridge were missingey. We have complained to KOA & haven’t received a reply…horrible customer service. We were ripped off, didn’t get what

We are very sorry about your experience at our KOA. This is certainly not what we strive to accomplish with each of our guests. A member of management will be in touch with you soon. Happy campers are among our highest priorities.

Very friendly staff. Clean. Nice location. Had a great Get Together for the Thanksgiving holiday. Dinner in the tent. They provided turkey, dressing, potatoes and beverages. Others that wanted to, brought a dish to share. Huge turnout, lots of different foods.

We are so glad you enjoyed the Thanksgiving dinner. I will pass along your kind words to our staff. We are very lucky to have them. We hope to see you again soon!

Staff is extremely helpful being able to purchase propane and have your vehicle and coach washed is extremely convenient. I talked to two different staff members about marijuana being used on the camp grounds. This is some thing I don’t want to experience with my stay.
Nov 22, 2023
East check in, very accommodating and campground very clean.
Nov 21, 2023
Staff friendly. Park clean. Spaces decent size. Showers not great. Ladies shower had rusty shower caddy that looked nasty. Men's shower 2 of three stalls not usable. One shower that was usable the faucet was faulty and hard to control temp.

Was relaxing. But one attendant kept coming to tell us over and over that our 14 yr old shouldn't be driving the golf cart. We let him once, but then we stopped cause he didn't have license to drive, but the attendant kept coming back and if he was sitting in it with his 70 yr old grandpa next to him he had the Gaul to come and tell them again if the 14 yr old is driving. Right after we had already told he wasn't. 3 times he did that. That was harassment and annoying. That's why I gave a one star for service.
