It's fine.

The price was right and I had water and electric hookups, but basically I was in a parking lot and all the grass around is full of briars. Made it really hard to walk the dog. Proximity to the beach was also really, if only the weather was a little better. The showers are a quarter pay situation and I paid $1.50 for a cold shower. When I went to ask the front office about it, they basically said "sometimes you have to run the sink for a minute". Sorry, but I am paying quarters for a shower that never gets warm that's a big dissapointment and then to met with indifference about it, hence the two stars. I also don't like that you don't get to pick your spot, you just show up, pay and they tell you where you are staying. It was the off season, so maybe things are better in full swing summer.

Our Visit...

Smooth check in, site #22 at 2:30 pm. Spacious concrete pad, full hook up 50 amp. At about 8:40pm we heard a loud report, similar to a shotgun blast. The whole park lost power, i think a transformer blew up. Hooked up to my generator as several other campers did the same. Electrical power was restored at 10:45 pm.

Location, location (and price)

In fairness, there are two levels available for this park, economy and luxury. I chose economy. The site are level over the dunes from the water but the facilities feel very third world. Which is what we're rapidly becoming. All in all I'd return but for the location.

Great location and worth the effort!

Maintained by Nueces County Coastal Parks. Smaller, 30-amp sites are closest to the beach and Bob Hall Pier. Just a short stroll to the beach over a sand berm. Pier was closed for maintenance during our stay. No issue with water or electric. Felt safe and secure with all-hour gate entry. Bathroom and showers were like a rustic beach house without the charm. Great for the price if you don't mind roughing it a little.

Close to the Beach

This is a county park with two camp areas. The older area is a "parking area" with a table, water and electric. Current cost is $25/night. The new area is more traditional RV camping with water, electric and sewer. Current cost is $50/night. Tent camping in the newer area includes water and electric for $20/night. All sites are within 200 yards of the beach. No on line reservations. Call the office for reservations.

Beach Location

Nice sites by the beach. Tables could use some work but the sites are level and functional. County park close to the pier with a place to eat and drink.
