Why RVers stay here

The sites are the story: level concrete pads averaging 40 by 80 feet with room for the tow vehicle and a real patio, arranged around several small lakes with a pool, hot tub, fitness room, and activity center. Every pad has full hookups with 30/50 amp, water, sewer, cable TV, and Wi-Fi, and the beach is a few minutes' walk over the resort's dune boardwalk. It is open year-round; book through gulfwaters.com or by phone months ahead for winter and summer. Nightly rates start around $80 to $91 and climb steeply for premium beachfront rows. Because sites are individually owned, quality varies slightly from pad to pad, some with elaborate outdoor kitchens and palapas. The trade-off is price and formality: this is the most expensive way to camp on Mustang Island.

Port Aransas RV Parks: The Best of Mustang Island, From Beachfront Resorts to $12 Beach Camping

Gulf Waters is the flagship — a luxury, ownership-model resort on Highway 361 south of town that consistently posts the best scores of any park in the area (9.7/10 on RV LIFE, and it is a Newmar-curated resort, which tells you the clientele). The sites are the story: an average 40-by-80 feet, level concrete pads with room for the tow vehicle and a real patio, arranged around several small lakes with a pool, hot tub, fitness room, and activity center. Every site is fully serviced, and the beach is a few minutes' walk over the resort's dune access. Because sites are individually owned and rented out through the resort, quality varies slightly from pad to pad — some have elaborate outdoor kitchens and palapas — but the grounds are uniformly manicured, and reviewers repeat the same words: clean, quiet, well run.

The trade-off is price and formality. Nightly rates start around $80 to $91 and climb steeply for premium beachfront rows; this is the most expensive way to camp on Mustang Island. If you drive a diesel pusher and want the site to match, this is your park.
