Campground Reviews

Oct 21, 2025
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.

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.

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.

Stayed in one of the premium tent sites. The patio set-up was nice, we could have used a little more shade from the afternoon sun. The overall look was very nice. The extra activities offered were impressive. A great view of the SpaceX launch site.

The KOA South Padre Island is a beautiful campground and clean. The staff is very friendly and they offer delivery of items to your campsite as well as pick up your trash daily. They offer fun activities on the weekends. The park is quiet and and enjoyable. We will come back to KOA South Padre Island again. We stayed from October 3-10 in slot 320. It was perfect!

Love the new waterside sites. The glider rocking chairs were a great touch. We absolutely love this place and return every year. Only thing we didn’t care for were people liked walking behind the rvs by the water and fish behind rvs. Just bad rv park etiquette. We realize that is not your fault at all and not sure how that can be corrected. Besides that.. park is perfect!

We have been coming to this park for 25 years, and the improvements in the last 25 years is outstanding!!!! Just a beautiful park. The staff is the best and are so welcoming, we feel like we are at home. Thanks so much for being an awesome park.
