On the Beach RV Park

On the Beach RV Park is a small, family-run full-hookup park at 907 Access Road 1-A in Port Aransas on the Texas Gulf Coast, tucked directly behind the dunes. The name is barely an exaggeration: campers report front-row sites roughly 50 yards from the shoreline, and a private trail puts you in the surf in about a minute. It suits families who want kids in the water before breakfast, anglers (there is a fish cleaning house) and anyone planning a short, beach-focused stay where proximity matters more than space.

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

The name is barely an exaggeration. On the Beach RV Park sits at 907 Access Road 1-A, tucked directly behind the dunes, and campers report the front-row sites are roughly 50 yards from the shoreline — a 60-second walk down a private trail and you are in the surf. It is a small, family-run park (60 full-hookup sites, 41 of them pull-throughs) with award-winning landscaping, clean bathhouses, a fish cleaning house, cable, and Wi-Fi. On RV LIFE it scores 9.1/10, and reviews consistently praise the staff.

You pay for the proximity: rates run roughly $109 to $150 per night, the highest published nightly pricing in Port Aransas, though the park periodically runs a stay-two-get-the-third-free promotion that softens the math. The honest knock, repeated across reviews, is that sites are tight — this is a small footprint packed close to the beach, so don't expect Gulf Waters-scale pads. For a short beach-focused stay where you want the kids in the water before breakfast, no park in town beats it.
