Campground Reviews

Beautiful landscaped sites, as we stayed in the new water front area. Only downside was when the tide went out the smell got your attention. One of the best KOA’s we have stayed at.

A lovely you will maintain facility in a good location on the bay and a modest walk from the public beach. The pool was attractive and clean. The staff was exceedingly helpful and friendly. The Cabin was small, but adequate for two. A couple things didn’t work perfectly and they had very limited no plates or cutlery, but all in all, we were very happy with our choice and would stay here again.

The only complaint I have is the tv should be on the wall opposite the bed so you can watch it without getting a crick in your neck. Other than that, the stay was great.

Office staff was very courteous when I called for reservation and upon arrival. Park was very well maintained and bathrooms were super clean.

LOVE the sites and views (very clean, great facilities, great staff). The only problem was the sewage smell from SPI’s waste facilities. So bad I almost threw up and we decided to leave a day early because of it. Do better SPI because you’re hurting a great business.

Thank you for your feedback and kind words about our team and facilities. The odor you noticed was the natural bay at low tide, which can happen occasionally. We’re sorry it affected your stay and hope you’ll visit again to enjoy the usual fresh coastal breeze.

Walking distance to the beach. Very clean facilities - just beware of birds trying to get into your trash when you out into it for pickup…

Very accommodating and kind. Assisted me with all my needs. Great place to stay, and it is very quiet.

This is a pristine campground, the campgrounds are immaculate with palm trees and nice patios Thr staff is amazing, they are so helpful and friendly. Loys of things to do there and access to the beach and great food and entertainment nearby. We liked Dottie who always has a smile when you see her. She was very helpful to us. We have already reserved our site for next year,

Amazing. Relaxing. Safe. Love the new swing benches. Can't wait for our next stay.

Enforce the 10:00 P.M. quiet time and number of people allowed at each site.

From the reservations, check in to check out we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had ocean side camping with a fantastic patio. Lots of activities over the weekend and a great pool and easy access to town via bike trails throughout the week. SpaceX is right across the bay from us. My only suggestion , as they pick up your trash from your campsite, is to have set times for trash pickup. Birds.

We’ve been visiting SPI and staying at the KOA for nearly 10 years and it has evolved over the years! There have been so many awesome updates! While we were sad when Pier 19 burnt down, we are impressed with the new campsites. Upon arrival, there was a hiccup with the location of our campsite which was quickly remedied and after that, our stay was perfect! All of the employees rock!!

Thank you so much for continuing to choose us! We are thrilled that you like our new updates. SPI KOA is very lucky to have such fabulous campers and amazing team members. We can't wait to welcome you back again soon. Safe travels.

The RV lot that we rented was very spacious and near the water. It was quiet and all the facility was nearby. Trash pickup is just a simple matter of leaving it at the lot's edge and some staff will come by to pick it up. The same goes for propane bottle refill.

Love the updates.

The best ADA site & facilities. Sewer smell & humidity a bit overwhelming a couple nights but that goes with island life. Property in amazing condition. Lots of friendly staff & amenities with good office hours & store offerings. Only suggestion is make it gated or add security. Some guy was cruising his truck with music blaring every hour the night we had to leave at 5am for a 7 hour drive !!!

It was our first visit to the South Padre Island KOA. We enjoyed our stay immensely; we won't stay anywhere else. I just text some friends of ours about your campground, and suggested that they should get a KOA login if they don't have one and stay at your KOA when they go to he island. Thank for the amenities and the cleanliness.

Always wonderful and our preferred RV stay place. This is a beautiful KOA and it surpasses any RV park that we've ever stayed at. Every time we come to South Padre we stay here because it's just so beautiful, everybody is so wonderful. Front desk and crew are the most fantastic people!

Park and staff are great, however I left there with an infestation of tiny ants in my motor home. When doing some work on my rig, I noticed them crawling around in the gravel/rocks. Later that day, I became aware they were inside my rig everywhere!! It seems the park could spray for the insects! I can't be the only one that has had this problem. For this reason, I could not recommend this KOA

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback! We are happy you enjoyed the park and team. We apologize for the ant invasion. While we cannot keep every bug out of nature, we’re always glad to spray if notified during your stay. We will keep doing our best to make sure nature stays outside where it belongs.

Awesome!

Very enjoyable stay. Our site was a bit tight to get into but it was a pleasant site once parked. We will probably choose a site on the peninsula next time. The campground was close to many activities. Staff was very friendly and helpful. It would be nice to have a bigger dog park. Our dog loves to get out and run and this dog park was not large enough for her.

The staff were friendly and accommodating! The park was well maintained and offered great views, easy access to town, and a boat ramp, Would definitely recommend it.

My family and I had a great get away. Very kid friendly they had activities for my 13 and 11 year old which they enjoyed. The KOA was nice and clean and very friendly. Highly recommend and we will be back.

The improvements completed since January 2025 are exceptional. The new waterfront sites are breathtaking. Also the Recreation building with Activity room, Laundry, Fitness room, and bathrooms/showers are wonderful. October Halloween activities for families was fun to watch. What can we say, we loved it all. Many thanks to the staff

I came to the South Padre Island KOA to watch the rocket launch. The view was amazing! I brought a large telescope to view the stars at night from 3:00am to 6:00am. The lights from the second floor of one of their buildings interfered with my view. I asked the staff if they could turn off the lights and they did the next night. Viewing conditions improved greatly. Kudos to the amazing staff!!!

Loved our three night stay. Great location, clean, quiet, and our dog loved his walks around the grounds. Close access to the park and beach.

I gave KOA SPI a 5 star rating, but there are a couple things I think need to be improved upon. We had spot 96 which was ok, but I really was uncomfortable hooking up the water/ sewer and electric. The connections were literally at our neighbors front door. Yuk! Second I'm not sure why there is a $25 holding fee if the reservation are made months prior. Rates are among the highest already.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your 5-star review! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay. I’ll check the pedestal situation to see if we can make it more comfortable. The $25 fee only applies if you select a specific site number. Thanks again for your feedback! We hope you come again soon.

hosts are very friendly and accommodating. Grounds are well maintained, pool clean and very nice. Excellent location and sites were functional and clean. Bathroom in East end showing wear; mens toilet handle is broke and you have to know how to "push in" vice toggle to make it work. Bathrooms were clean. Towel dispensers in women's restroom on east end were inoperable for the first few days.

Upgrades done are very nice. One of the nicer KOAs we have been to, unfortunately it is a bit expensive.
