Tent Reviews

May 19, 2026
We loved the area, pretty well kept campgrounds, definitely appreciated all of the fun activities that were offered and the staff was very informative and helpful. Wish we had more time to experience everything, but we will be coming back hopefully soon for a longer stay! Love that it is so pet friendly��

Really love staying here! Everyone is so friendly only thing I wish is they had one closer bathroom access for tent sites. Can’t wait to stay again

If I wasn't tenting it with a new puppy that wanted to bark at everything, it would have been great. Unfortunately, I did not realize the dog park/walk way was right next to the tents.

My son and I rented a tent site. Reservation and registration was quick and the folks at the office were awesome. Dottie was the initial contact person and welcomed us with open arms. All amenities were flawless. First time KoAers and the experience will definitely make me a return customer. Thank you

This camp host turned my busted tent camping (due to high winds) into a memorable experience. I will be back camping but only at KOA. Thanks friends.

We were super disappointed in the lack of privacy for tent camping. You had to pitch a tent on gravel, and the sites were only separated by a wooden wall. The roaches were bad at night and we were woken up at 6 AM on a Saturday by the garbage truck empty all the dumpsters. The amenities were nice, but probably won’t be the campground we’re staying at again to get that outdoor vibe.

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.

We have been to many camp grounds. My grandson is an Eagle Scout. This camp grounds are very well kept. The bathroom and shower facilities areVery clean. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We went to see the Starship launch, it was scrubbed but the view from the camp grounds is amazing. I would recommend tho solace to anyone. My only issue was a lot of bugs around the tenting area.

I still have always love KOAin SPI. I noticed few changed due to new buildings and replaced Bathroom/showers messes. I dislike waiting on turn for need shower and or bathroom. So few of those due too many people. I can’t use weight room because it messed. They did not put weight back where it belongs. Light pole by boat pier still not fixed. I always go there at night and watch the oc

We tent camped in one of the three tent sites. Tent sites where smaller than I expected. We had enough room for 1 big tent and a small tent. The covered pergola helped. We had a good experience with The South Padre Island KOA.

This was not our best KOA experience. Would not recommend for tent camping. This one missed the mark for me by miles, and I am happy we did not book for more than one night. Not enough bathrooms, campground is very noisy at night, we felt like we were sleeping on I-10. Catering only to SpaceX for parking was a complete shock. Tent sites are on top of each other, but were listed as "premium."

This is my 4th time visiting in July and it was absolutely wonderful. The new amenities are beautiful & the waterfront spots are gorgeous. I just might treat myself next year with a stay in a waterfront spot.

The reception and staff here at the campground went above and beyond to help me out. This is the best KOA by far.

Very pretty campsite. We got the last waterfront slot 306. Nice breeze, nice view of sunset on their rocker for two. Nice chairs to sit on. Apparently a lot of people like to fish in that side. There is a sign that they can't pass so they are not at your campsite, but they are close by. Once a family with 4 kids were loud. I was trying to enjoy the breeze and read. We had an issue that because we were a bit inclined down towards the water, our septic tubes were not angled enough. When we hooked up to leave, we moved trailer to street about 5 feet so we can do the dump. Lots of washers & dryers, small cold exercise room, I used treadmill once. They have a nice outdoor area outside of community center with a pretty gas fireplace. Pool looks nice, we didn't get in. Good Internet. They have 4 showers, with toilets. My gripe there is that there is no shade in the afternoon to wait for one to be open. At 4:30 pm, it was hot. I wouldn't mind a stand up umbrella out there. And I don't like how the shower water comes out to the toilet area. There is no shower lip and the shower curtain is short. They need a longer inside clear plastic liner maybe. Short drive to Isla Blanca Park. Cost $12 to get in. There is a nice long beach. They have a Pavilion with hot dogs, snacks & drinks. Another time we tried free Beach Access #4 because it had a restroom in the parking lot. But not much parking in these beach accesses, you have to go early. It's a 7 1/2 hr drive for us, so don't know if we'll go back, but we liked it. If we do, we might try a pull thru.

The KOA was nice whereas you are close to the beach. However, the sites are very tight. If you have a rig that is longer than 40 feet (our rig is 46 feet), avoid sites 114 to 116 (there may be more sites but these are the ones that we noticed). While they offer pull-thru ability, again, they are very tight. We were in site 116 and there is a palm tree that is growing almost sideways instead of straight up. This will pose a problem for any good size rig while pulling in. Another person had to come over and pull on the tree in order for us to pull the RV past the tree. This palm tree really needs to be cut down. Another reason parking in these particular sites are challenging is due to the amount of cars that park in the street. There are a lot of owners who will park their vehicles with half on their site and the other half hanging over in the street. This only adds to the tight feel of the park. Next time we visit, we will try the more expensive sites to see if that will be a difference. We were in one of the pull-thru sites with a patio and upgraded furniture. The price was $105 a night but the weekend is a bit more expensive and we paid $115 for Friday (we stayed from Sunday-Friday). The park offers a ton of activities, if you want to participate with any of that kind of stuff. My husband did visit the fitness center and said it was nice for what it is.
