Very nice park. Right on the waterfront. Fun to watch the fishing boats come and go. Well maintained and staff very helpful and friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed at the "Bayside RV Camper Park" in Palacios.Tx during the 2003 Christmas week on our way to Arizona. This was our first stay at this Passport America campground. What a neat out of the way place! The owners were very nice and the ocean wiew was spectacular....we woke up Christmas morning to see dolpins jumping out of the water behind our camper through our 5th wheel's back windows which was backed up to the water's edge. The facility isn't a fancy place but clean & friendly and we recommend at least a one or two night stay..(not a lot to
do but look around and eat shrimp) We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The roads are rough, but the views are beautiful for $30/night. We had a concrete site with a patio where we could look out the back window of our 5th wheel at the sailboats in the marina and to the bay. We saw dolphins swim into the marina around the boats. The sunsets were gorgeous. The pool was nice and refreshing. My husband caught fish from the pier and there is a nice place to clean them. Overall, the park is very nice and the people friendly. We will be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Nicely kept with clean restrooms and friendly office personnel, internal roads are mostly gravel and full of potholes (rough). 16 sites are paved pull through for larger rigs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This facility has the potential of being a great RV Resort and Marina on Matagorda Bay. There is a marina inside the park and the largest shrimp fleet on the gulf coast is moored next door. Fresh seafood is available 'off the boat'. Fishing from the shore, a pier or from a boat is wonderful most of the year. The problem is, this is not a resort, it is an RV park. The present management favors the long term camper. Unless you are staying more than 3 months, you can't reserve a site, only a spot. That means you will probably end up in the back row, in the dirt and mud, if you are a weekend camper or a family on a week's vacation. All the good spots, with a view, that are paved and level are taken by long term campers who are most likely working during the day while their RV enjoys the view of the bay. About 3/4 of the sites are dirt and very, very close together. The roads are dirt and full of potholes. The facilities are quaint to say the least. A large corporation took over this park about 3 years ago and did upgrade about 30 sites. The improvements seem to have stopped. Now the park doesn't know if it is a RV park, a Marina or a fish camp. What it isn't yet is an RV RESORT! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
