The tiny house smells a little like mildew and the back door had some patch work that was questionable. the back door didn't open with easy and the bathroom window you couldn't open at all. One of the windows in the bedroom was broken also but other than these minor things. The overall stay was amazing

Great other than having to listen to another campers dogs barking, barking, barking! Owners of the dog's could care less! Did report it.

Beautiful campground close to everything. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The free island bus shuttle was very convenient and picked up right in front of the campground. My only complaint is that we weren't able to stay longer. We will be back. Thank you!

Clean park with nice rock driveways to keep out the dirt. One of the best KOA’s we’ve stayed at. We really enjoyed our stay.

We have camped in our motor home numerous times and loved it. This time we had family with us so needed a cabin. We had one with water view. The view was wonderful but the cabin not so much. The pull out couch mattress was terrible and you should not be staying that it sleeps six because that mattress is not usable. We will be back but I doubt we would ever rent the cabins again.

Stayed a week and had a good time. Staff and managers were very friendly and helpful. Nice space with plenty of room. Will stay again.

Very nice and very comfortable.

Nice level space with great neighbors and near the marina and restaurants on the pier. Town is only a 5 mile long strip accessible by free metro bus if you take a short walk to the Visitor Center to pick it up. South Padre had just had rain so the mosquitos at dusk were vicious. We had a very nice visit. The temporary bathrooms worked well too for nice hot showers.

The park is old and the spots are tights. The pool and hot tub area needs major help. There were many days during our stay that both were very dirty. Someone needs to learn proper pool maintenance. There are plenty of work campers driving around in golf cart but not much work getting done. We heard alot of complaining among the staff. I expected more, especially for the price we paid.

Très bel endroit et les sites en gravel avec patio de brique dans grand espace, j'adore. Le personnel est disponible et serviable. Très proche de la mer c'est fantastique !

The additional restrooms are a great improvement. I hope that they will be a permanent fixture even after the new facility is built.

We stayed for 4 weeks and noticed a lot of small trash throughout the park. The dog park is on the small side and the dog walk has a large fire ant mound. The park felt small with the area by the bay blocked off due to the construction. This area was opened up for the Space X launch giving a great view.

The campground was nice and the staff was excellent. My one complaint is that there were no fire facilities at campsites. Especially the expensive patio sites. They should have grills and fire pits.

The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, caring and helpful. Always ready to help. It was disappointing our cabin did not have Wifi; the Keurig did not work; the banister on the deck came apart and two of the patio chairs needed repair. The cable TV did not work correctly and it took two maintenance personnel to get it working correctly. The location was great; looking out over the bay.

Very relaxing and enjoyable. All the staff were outstanding.

We rented a cottage that we found out later was to be demolished. We weren’t told that & the accommodations were horrible.no wifi, doors didn’t close,dangerous with electrical cords running around the cottage,some shades didn’t work, parts of the fridge were missingey. We have complained to KOA & haven’t received a reply…horrible customer service. We were ripped off, didn’t get what

We are very sorry about your experience at our KOA. This is certainly not what we strive to accomplish with each of our guests. A member of management will be in touch with you soon. Happy campers are among our highest priorities.

Very friendly staff. Clean. Nice location. Had a great Get Together for the Thanksgiving holiday. Dinner in the tent. They provided turkey, dressing, potatoes and beverages. Others that wanted to, brought a dish to share. Huge turnout, lots of different foods.

We are so glad you enjoyed the Thanksgiving dinner. I will pass along your kind words to our staff. We are very lucky to have them. We hope to see you again soon!

Staff is extremely helpful being able to purchase propane and have your vehicle and coach washed is extremely convenient. I talked to two different staff members about marijuana being used on the camp grounds. This is some thing I don’t want to experience with my stay.

East check in, very accommodating and campground very clean.

Staff friendly. Park clean. Spaces decent size. Showers not great. Ladies shower had rusty shower caddy that looked nasty. Men's shower 2 of three stalls not usable. One shower that was usable the faucet was faulty and hard to control temp.

Everything was fine except we were disapointed in the small size of the cabins. Will opt for the larger ones next time.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. The larger cabins definitely have more room to move around. Feel free to call anytime and we will be sure to get you and your family set up in just the right unit for your needs. We hope to see you again soon.

The cabins were great but no Wi-Fi was available which was listed as an amenity and now the cabins are being taken out for more rvs so probably won’t come there again. Kind of messy and torn up because of the deconstruction but the people were awesome! And location is great
Nov 15, 2023
The folks were nice, the late check in works great. The only issuer I had was the house keeping at our cabin. I discovered the morning of check out on the bed sheet under my pillow a nasty stain of what I’m not going into on this site. When housing keeping put on the mattress sheet there was no way they didn’t see this stain!!! The biggest negative ratings on this. I have never experienced t

we love our spot overlooking the wetlands. very convenient. nice people working the place. loved watching the hovercraft.
Nov 09, 2023
Disappointed with the view! Paid for a premium site thinking we would have a view of the bay. NOT! We had a view of the playground and bounce pad! We do not have children or pets, but always seem to get placed in a site directly in front of one or the other every time we stay at a KOA. Location was great, campground not so much.
Nov 08, 2023
Our stay was excellent people that work there very nice. The guys that worked outsthey were very helpful. We felt at home I will be going to KOA Again�����

Winter Texan here. We stayed six months in our class A RV. So many pluses: beach time, walking, local restaurants, shopping, and a front row seat for all the SpaceX launches. The staff are friendly and helpful: management is looking out for the campers and the campground. Need some help? Just ask. I especially appreciated the evening staff: Jerry Ann and Bruce always make me feel safe after dark. Thanks to everyone!

We really enjoyed our stay at South Padre. The camping location is awesome, close to beaches. Service and staff have been super good and general cleanness is excellent despite the strong wind that was making the life little bit harder. Our spot was tight (like more or less all spots) but we've been lucky because for the whole stay (almost 20 days) nobody occupied the spot in front of us so we have space for the car and also free view.
