Had many live cockroachs in the cabin and smelled like sewer.

Park has great amenities, check in was quick and easy. The pool was spacious and warm, they have some construction going on but it was not a big deal and did not really interfere with anything.

The staff was friendly and accommodating. We got there after 5 and when we got to our spot it was to tight for our RV because of the slides and the trees on at the spot so we gave them a call and they moved us right away. The new spot was great. Only thing was no wifi but we were able to use our hotspots. Close walk or cart ride to beach. Will be back for sure! Great sunset views too!

Easy check-in. Love that it's a calm, quiet environment with no loud parties all night long.

Everything was great except for the old lady that does crafts and s’mores. She’s not very friendly or nice. Other than that it was awesome. You need someone that is friendly for these activities…sorry I usually don’t like to say anything bad but we had always had a blast before with the other lady. This one no no no

Loved the campground...it was the nicest one we saw while at SPI. The new bath houses were spectacular! The 1 complaint is that the wifi was not working. Other than that, we will stay again should we return to SPI.

Roads are narrow, sites are too close, no night patrols for the campers that stay up late and make noise Construction starts to early in the mornings, Campground has little pieces of trash everywhere needs to be walked and picked up Only good thing is close to town and bus stop

The Pool was not up to par, Kind of dirty, Too much construction going on at that time, Noisy from all the construction crew. Disappointed the WIFI was Not working. I was expecting to see water down below all we saw was sand. Will not be coming back. Thanks

Cabin 1 - Bayside K-1. Right next to demolition -not good ! Could not enjoy patio deck because of noise and dust of demolition crews & equipment. Patio sliding door needs to be replaced. My grandsons or wife could not open the sliding patio door. Toilet leaks, constantly refilling tank. Grass sticker burrs in playground. do not rent till after construction. We will visit again away from work

I rented a free-standing casita, which is (I think) the best short term rental on the Island since the windows can all be opened to catch the sea breeze, the ocean smell, and the gulls to give it the true meaning of being by the sea. The units are also air-conditioned if it is late summer however, I favor the island atmosphere delivered by the casitas for a sound sleep.

We have been staying in the deluxe cabins for a span of 6 years. Each year the cabins and stay is getting extensively worse. This last visit, we were not told there was no wi-fi and there was going to be constant construction noise for our stay. The cabins NEED TO BE DEEP CLEANED AND UPDATED ASAP.

Nice grounds, friendly staff and a great location. Lids on the toilets, maybe an additional hook and a small shelf in each bathroom would be ideal. I couldn’t find a clean, stable place to put my toothpaste, electric toothbrush and other toiletries while I got out my towel and soap. Also, towel racks or more hooks would be nice. Otherwise, great stay!

I was really looking forward to looking out on the water while at our site witch is on the brochure. But the bushes are so over grown that takes away the view. And there’s loud construction on site.

Facilities seemed to be in disrepair. I realize that changes are being made and some parts are under construction to improve the facilities. Was put in a site that was almost to small for our 5th wheel. Had very little room to park our town vehicle. Pool was extremely cloudy and seemed to have the heater on as it was like a hot tub in there.

This is one of our favorite spots. Construction and glitches are inevitable. The lack of communication around those glitches must be increased so campers can make informed decisions. Things happen, but there's no communication regarding them. We will be back - we love KOA-SPI. Simply ask for better communication.

Everything was great!

The showers were gross and one of them did not even work. The pool is gross and dirty could not even swim with the kids. No internet connection. When we step out of the camper, the camper that sits next to us poop drain citrate where we sit that is gross. You can’t sit and have a conversation without somebody flushing the toilet in front of you. We will never be back there again.

I was disappointed there was not places for visitors to park. I was also disappointed that there were no dishes or silverware in the unit that I stayed in after I had asked that question before booking and was told they were completely furnished. I encountered a large bug in my unit going up and down the wall by the tv. When I went to use the hairdryer it didn't work. The pool was closed early

While I understand the campgrounds are under major reconstruction and changes, it was often at the expense of the customer who experienced the most dissatisfaction. As the stay which may be for a short or long period of time was met with facilities often closed or unavailable for use, most importantly poor internet quality. The price for the monthly stay does not coincide with the services offered

Cabin needs a lot of differed maintenance. The floor in the bathroom was loose and felt like you may break through the floor with your foot. There was also no WiFi or hot water. However, they were able to fix the hot water. Other than that, it served its purpose.

Friendly staff! Great amenities! And the cutest little cabin with everything you need! We will definitely be back!

The new restroom cabins were very nice and clean. Pool closed down for a few days due to construction and that was a bummer when you are on vacation at the beach. Staff was really friendly and helpful. The upgrades were nice and you can see that there are more to come. The traffic has been slowed down through the park since the restaurant is gone. That makes it really nice and quiet.

The park is under construction and the pool was closed for several days and the internet never worked, and when I called to asked when was it going be fixed they didn't know anything.
Aug 01, 2023
Wish we would have known about the construction. Should have been on the website. No Wifi as they said the construction crews cut the line. We were there for 4 days and no repairs. Also, cable was shotty at best reminded of the 60's TV stations. Also had no ice for sale. We stayed about 2 years ago and it was great. Campground was clean and the staff friendly.

Staff was amazing! Every single person I interacted with from SPI KOA was absolutely incredible! However, I booked my stay there for a relaxing vacation, and the much needed pool and hot tub being closed for the entirety of my stay, and the AC going out in our cabin in the middle of the night, really put a damper on having a Relaxing trip that I drove 12hrs for.

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.
