As one reaches this park, one can notice that the beach is about 600 feet from the high tide line separated by a 40 foot sand dune from the RV site. In the beach area, there are 2 pavilions with a concession stand during the peak seasons, with restrooms and showers. They are a bit dated, but one must remember that this is built directly adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico, and Hurricane Alley. The RV park itself is just fine, not meant for people who would like to have something cosy. It’ll meet all of your basic needs and more. One can enjoy lots of breeze and sun. No frills should be expected. It is very clean and maintained to a comfortable level. The park structures are very solid and made to withstand hurricanes of the Gulf. The best attraction would be the clear, warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico at your doorstep. On Fridays and Saturdays, one can see a show of fireworks. You can spend endless hours of shell gathering and you never know what has washed up from day to day, old boats, sea buoys that have seen better days, often to remain there for years before they are swept back into sea.

A perfect place for those who want to enjoy an island but stay away from crowds.

The county park gate pass for your RV stay is also good to enter the 26 mile South Padre Island beach area, included in the RV pass, This will save you the gate cost of $5.00 a day, nice if you like the beach as we do. Its also good at all county attractions including the other county RV park at the south end of the island, Isla Blanca Park.
