Galveston Island KOA Holiday

This place was so fantastic! One large pool area with tons of seating half of which is shaded. A second pool area with just as much shaded and outdoor seating next to a little lazy river. They have other fun things to do like volleyball, horseshoes, corn hole, ping-pong, etc. The RV sites are more spread out and spacious than any I have ever seen. You can easily fit the longest RV and still have space for a full-size truck and that doesn’t even include the additional paved space for the picnic table. Lots of grass everywhere, wide roads, easy to get around! The folks that own this place are always trying to do fun things and often have a nightly activity you can partake in. Simply walk across the street and down about three houses to a beach access road. They also have brand new cabins for folks that don’t own campers. This is an all-around great place for families, singles, grandparents, everyone!!!

We enjoyed this park although the pool was not heated so we were unable to use it.

Beautiful new campground with nice paved sites. The wifi was mostly unusable our entire stay. We could not get on at all for the first few days and then once connected it was way too slow.

Its about 15 minutes from the islands main attractions and right on the main road so there is quite a bit of traffic noise during the day, but mostly quiet at night.

We could see the Gulf from our site through gaps in the beach houses across the street.

We stayed in a "premium" site (based on location in the park) that included a charcoal grill.

I cannot say enough about this park,it was perfect!

It is easy to access right off San Luis Pass Rd about 20 minutes southwest of Galveston. The registration area is plenty big and check in was a breeze.

This park is very big rig friendly. We stayed in site 27 which is a back in spot. The streets are so wide that this is the easiest spot in a park we've backed into. There was nothing behind us but an open field and an occasional visit from a cow or two.

All the sites are nice size with concrete slabs that look brand new and a spot for your tow vehicle. Each has a nice grass area, a picnic table and a grill. We even had a distant beach view from our bedroom window.

I still can't get over how clean this park is. It honestly looks brand new and they have been open for awhile. They are in the process of a huge expansion but the construction never bothered us.

The club house has a beautiful pool, coin laundry, spotless bathrooms and showers, ping pong, cornhole/bags and volleyball. They also have propane on site.

They are pet friendly and have a few areas designated for them.

We have been on the road full time for 7 months and this might be our favorite park to date. The only downside for us was the wifi. Their basic wifi was spotty at best however they offer a paid plan but it was pricey. We work from the road so we have backup but it sure is nice when we can use park wifi.

We stayed for 2 weeks in April. Very well kept park across from the beach. Nice pull through site with concrete slab. Nice pool.

Area is a about a 20-25 minute drive from downtown Galveston but that also keeps it quiet. Great to drive on to the beach and have your own space.

This is a clean, nice looking park. The office is in the back of the park up some stairs. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. They have frozen “adult” beverages for sale which they were excited to tell us about. All sites and interior roads are paved. Water does puddle, especially in the interior roads, and the road never dried while we there despite several days without rain. Sites are long and wide. We were able to park the car beside the motorhome. Our site was very level but we saw a couple where the wheels were barely touching. On the bright side, most appeared level. Sites are about 15 feet apart with a strip of grass and sometimes a small palm tree. There is no shade. We were on the second row near the front and had a slim view of the gulf between houses – if we looked out the right window :) It is pretty quiet at night but lots of traffic noise during the day. Beach access is just down the road, and the beach is not that busy. Directv worked fine, and they also have cable. Verizon was 4g 5 bars. The WII FI didn’t work – we could connect but almost immediately got kicked off. We used the hot spots on our phones. There are beautiful Victorian houses on the Tree Sculpture tour which we didn’t expect in Galveston. The Tree Sculpture tour is kind of interesting. There are lots of touristy things to do and touristy restaurants but also a lot of local restaurants. Note: The park is building new sites, and there is construction noise. More apparent in some of the back-in sites that are right by it.

Very nice park with all the amenities. Concrete pad, two pools, hot tub, private bath and shower rooms. There’s also an on-site pizza maker and a nice laundry room in which you need to use a debit or credit card with each machine. No need to use quarters. There is beach access right across the street. They have a store with a two flavored daiquiri machines. We stayed 3 nights and loved it. You cannot go wrong staying at this park. Off season rates are the best. And if you use the online booking you will save money. If you call the front office I was told the rates can be higher.

This is a lovely RV resort on the "quiet end" of Galveston. We were only here for five nights and out a lot (as we were meeting family in the area). But we had a great experience! Everything was very clean and the staff was very kind. The sites were nice and roomy and our site was perfectly level. It is about 30 minutes away from the "heart" of Galveston, but that's why we chose it. We would definitely come back if ever in the area again.

It was my birthday weekend, and I had a couple of days off, so we spent a five-day weekend here, just to get away from the house for a few days. This is a very, very nice park, clean and well-kept, with generously-sized, level concrete pads and plenty of room between the sites. Neither my husband or I took in the pool, hot tub, or lazy river, but they looked popular and well-tended. Staff was very friendly at check-in, and we even got a nice thank-you email after our departure. Wi-fi was loud and strong, and only a few periods of slowdowns. The park is close to the beach, and far enough from Galveston proper that it wasn't at all crowded. Yes, it's a little far from a grocery store, so plan ahead. But frankly, "farther from civilization, but still civilized" was exactly what we were looking for--and Galveston Island RV Resort fit the bill perfectly!

We stayed here for 8 nights and had a blast kids loved the lazy river and pool also played on the pickleball court with basketball court behind it very family friendly all spot have a concrete pad with full hook ups they have pina colidas they make at the office along with beer you can purchase by can or case the staff is very friendly to top it off they pizza have on Thursday and Friday the beach is across the road nice easy walk the few negatives I can even think of if I have to even mention would the WiFi is very slow and very few people follow the 5 mph in park

This is a very nice RV park, all sites are very level concrete pads with picnic tables and grills, also lots of space between you and your neighbor. The main drawback to this place is the location, it is about 25 minutes from Galveston and about the same distance to Surfside . The only other thing was the “high speed” internet service that will cost you and extra $14.00 per day which is a little ridiculous given that the equipment needed and the service has dropped greatly in price in recent years. It’s not worth the extra money, it is neither fast or reliable it would not work for us more than 2 or 3 minutes without going down for 2 or 3 minutes. Using my phone for a hotspot was about 100 times faster than the “high speed” internet.
The guy that worked the office while we were there was not very friendly and acted like we disturbed him because we were checking in and wanted to make sure we read and followed all of the rules.
They do have a fenced dog park which is always nice to let our dog off leash to run a little.
I would stay here again if I was wanting a place to stay and didn’t want to go into Galveston or Surfside on a regular basis. Beach access was easy but a little bit of a walk, I would recommend a wagon or something to put your beach stuff on if you were walking to the beach. If you stay up at the front there is a little highway noise, but not as much as other places we've stayed.
