With wildlife on one side and the beach on the other, this offers a broader variety of experiences than most waterfront RV parks in Texas.

You’ll be surrounded by clear blue water when you stay here, with the Gulf on one side and the Corpus Christi Bay on the other.
The Breeze Hotel and RV Park
Amenities:
- Full hookups, back-in and pull-through sites, WiFi, pet friendly
If you want to experience the best of both worlds, The Breeze Hotel and RV Park is the place to do it.

With updated amenities, Galveston Island KOA Holiday is one of the newer KOAs out there. If you’re looking for pure relaxation, this site is definitely more out of the way so you can focus on relaxation without worrying about overbearing traffic noise.

Since the 1970s, On the Beach RV Park has been catering to travelers looking for simple stays in an incredible location. You’re probably getting the idea by now that Port Aransas is a hotbed for Texas beach RV parks and On the Beach stands on its own as one of the best around.
Port Aransas is considered the “Fishing Capital of Texas” (more on that in just a minute). It’s worth noting that some campers feel the spots here are on the small side, so large rigs or inexperienced RV drivers may have some trouble.

This massive deck is the perfect place to take in a sunset after a long day relaxing on the beach.
When it’s time to head back, you’ll have all the space you need to sprawl on their large sites. If you’re feeling friendly, head to the Seabreeze Room to meet other guests of the resort or the Tiki Hut for volleyball, fire pits, and dog parks!
