Campground Reviews

We had a great stay! The park is clean, well maintained, and friendly. We enjoyed meeting some of the staff, Dottie, Sam, Nancy, and Steve to name a few. They made our stay enjoyable.

We only stayed one night but we had a great experience. The check in staff were very friendly and helpful. It was nice that they had an area ready for us to watch the SpaceX launch.

We’ve been coming for years. We love it. Can’t give a 5 because we’ve been waiting for 2 years for a commons building/clubhouse. It seems as if this is less of a priority than putting in new sites, and I feel that it has taken a back seat to expansion.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you. We look forward to those 5 stars next year when our new building is permitted and open. Thanks for your patience. While all 3 projects are a priority, we have communicated to our contractors that the community building is the most important. I'm sorry that it wasn't ready for your stay.

The staff is very helpful with any questions you might have or concerns, very friendly. The park is beautifully maintained very clean. I've told friends & family how great our experience has been & now we plan trips together & go in our trailers to enjoy the beautiful quiet park away from all the chaos of day to day life. We just came back from an extended weekend & we are planning our next stay.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

That's wonderful! We think island time is the best way to recharge from day to day life! Thanks so much for your kind words, and we can't wait to welcome you back again soon.

Pros: Walkable to beach and entire island, great people and staff, new community building and office almost completed plus new kayaks and water trikes. Pool and big hot tub. Megan their social director is very good! Cons: New buildings were supposed to be done in Dec. so we didn't get to enjoy them the whole 2 months we were their, daily activities are not texted every morning so we could plan.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your review, and for staying with us. We share your disappointment in the delays for the new building but have used the extra time to make sure it's going to be worth your wait. While we are facing constraints with our texting system, we are working toward improving that as well.

The campground is clean.the staff is wonderful..they r ur friends for sure.Linda, Meghan,Dotty, Steve, Randy, outstanding.the problem seems to be corporate doesn't care if the place is full the last 2 winters with no activity building for the loyal customers that come yearly for the winter months.they continue to raise the rates tho.the employees there make up for any lack because they are awesome

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your comments about our team. They are one of a kind. I can assure you that we care very much about an activity building for our guests to enjoy. I am deeply sorry that we weren't able to get it operational for your stay. I think a party for your patience is in order next year!

Some much needed improvements happening at the campground. Very nice pool, new "commons" building opening soon, nice location on the quiet end of the island.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. We can't wait to show off our completed improvements soon. We think everyone will be thrilled. We hope to welcome you back again!

Nice park but spaces a little too close together for my preference. Nice garbage pick up all day long and it was nice that they sponsor park activities like ice cream social, music and yoga.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you very much for your feedback. We hope you can come again very soon.

Stayed in 161. Very tight for Class A. Neighbors grill just about touching our rig. Very noisy with construction at 2 AM

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I apologize for the noise. That was actually the city of SPI repaving their main road. Their project should be finished very soon. You can anticipate a much more peaceful stay next time. I'm sorry about that.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The sites are a little tight especially with all the large trucks and golf carts sticking out on the road. Makes it a little hard to get in and out of the sites. Overall it was a nice park.

I was very disappointed with our stay at South Padre KOA. I can appreciate construction is necessary to improve services but perhaps there could have been one of the buildings open to have social activities out of the elements. Most upsetting was our campsite (89) which backed onto the Marina. There large steel door constantly banged in the wind and made a loud noise all day and all night long!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

I am sorry that you were disappointed. We are excited to move our activities into the new building. Sadly, we are not able to occupy the space until we have passed the final inspections at completion. While the marina doesn't belong to us, I will look into a possible resolution with our neighbor.

Gave a 4 because the WiFi did not work at all our entire stay. But did not stop me from booking for next year. �

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. I apologize for your Wi-Fi issues. I have a technician coming out to check the area around the site you stayed in. Thank you for letting us know. See you next year!

Friendly staff, great loction, clean facilities (laundry, showers, bathrooms, dog wash, streets, pads, store, etc.) which was great to experience. Within walking distance to the beaches, restaraunts, and other amenities. Our only issues, and this was not the KOA’s problem, was the guy in the camper next to us loved to smoke cigars. We did not care for his smoke but enjoyed our stay nonetheless.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you very much for the wonderful review. We hope to welcome you back again soon.

The cable poor signal. Second day of our stay didn’t work at all. Called office no one responded to complaint.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. I apologize for the issues with the cable, and for our lack of communication with you. We have been struggling with our cable system for a number of reasons, but we absolutely should have done a better job of communicating that to you. Please come stay again soon.

Excellent place to stay, I will be going back. Staff was very nice, helpful and friendly. We stayed in the tent area and it was very accommodating. Bath and shower area are just a short walk away. Pool was nice and refreshing. Views were nice. I plan on returning during a space x launch it's close enough you will have a spectacular view

We stayed Mother's Day weekend and it was fantastic, clean, very friendly staff. So many activities for kid's. Pool/Jacuzzi were both so clean even after a rain storm we got. We enjoyed ourselves very much and can't wait for our next trip !
