Every member of the staff that I encountered was very friendly and welcoming. The store inside was a bit thin on supplies but we visited early in the season so perhaps that's why. The beautiful restaurant inside the main building was unfortunately closed, presumably since the covid shutdown. There was a food truck onsite but it was only opened one of the four days we were there. The food was good, the buttermilk pecan pie AWESOME. It perhaps might be a little pricey to some but that's the cost of having the truck located onsite. The owners of the food truck were incredibly nice people and a compliment to the park. There was an additional activity building with a large laundry room located adjacent to the pool, which unfortunately was not heated so with the late spring chill that came through Texas, it was unusable.

The park itself is very well laid out and clean with plenty of space between sites and excellent hookups (minus the corroded cable hookup that we didn't use); however, there is NOTHING nearby. It's about 30 miles north to Galveston or 25 miles south to Lake Jackson if you want to find some decent restaurants or activities. This wouldn't be so bad if the park was located on a beautiful stretch of Gulf of Mexico beach; however it isn't. The beach had lots of trash all over - some washed up, some blown on. It is sad that visitors and locals don't have more pride and respect for this gift of nature.

All things considered, this is a decent place to go if you want to be away from amenities and you like fishing or kayaking, as the park has it's own canal for these activities, but it really isn't a beach destination. The last thing worth mentioning is that every direction looking landward has a clear view of the abundant chemical plants and some of their stacks spew quite a bit of smoke.

As beautiful as the Blue Water RV park was, I don't ever see us returning to this part of Texas.

We camped at Blue Water RV Resort in a Travel Trailer.

Granted it was our first RV park so we have no benchmarks, but this place was fantastic. The sites were level with well organized hookups. Amenities include large heated pool with hot tub, grist mill, group fire pit snd activities. We stayed in one of the areas with many trees, which helped give a sense of space between neighbors.

Very simple park with few trees but great for an overnight or short stay if you need to be near Lake Charles. I was warmly greeted during check-in. Sites are full hookup and wifi actually worked with reasonable speeds of about 5 mbps. They are also accommodating to overnighters and provided me an easy access pull through for when I left in the morning. I just gave it a 3 because I found nothing bad nor exceptional to swing a rating either way.
