Campsite: Southern Star RV Park
I stopped here for a few hours to rest (I was driving through from Corpus Christy to Tucson) I was going to sleep and head out after some rest. Park seemed clean, bathrooms were clean and functional. Check in was easy, I will stop here longer the next time I come through. I couldn't sleep and wanted to hit the road!! Nothing wrong with the park just wanted to get home.
Campsite: Padre Palms RV Park
This park met/exceeded my expectations. We took a chance on a semi last minute trip from Tucson AZ to Corpus Christy this summer, I googled RV parks went over my options and landed here. It checked all the boxes. The site was clean, the hookups worked as advertised and the Wi-fi was even adequate for the kids to stream Netflix on our Roku TV. The showers and bathrooms were in working order and clean, the laundry had working machines and large dryers. The pool was clean and the kids enjoyed winding down at the end of the long days at the beach in it. The staff were attentive and friendly, I had to ship a propane regulator for my trailer to the office and I got it just fine. Mustang and North Padre beaches are 15 minutes away! There are stores and gas stations nearby, if you don't have HEB stores where you live I recommend you give it a shot for groceries and even tackle. The local Pier nearby was fun for the kids in the evening, dropping shrimp in the underwater lights on the pier produced a few small local fish and great memories. We spent a week here as a family and me 4 days after (due to waiting on some repairs to my tow vehicle) the whole stay was safe and quiet.
**The "downsides" and I only point these out to not be misleading are; Its in a neighborhood outside a naval air base the homes on the way in were mostly clean family homes, with one or two exceptions. The inland waterway has a particular aroma, we didn't notice it while in our camper but when the wind is just right you can certainly smell it while outside. The smell in no way affected my stay or even bothered me, but if your sensitive to the smell I imagine almost anywhere you stay on the inland side will have a similar smell. This is not the destination RV park, this is the safe place you park your rig while you explore the beaches and local fare. This is a safe place to call homebase while you are out vacationing and adventuring. **
I enjoyed my stay, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a launching point for their daily adventures. Give Padre Palms a try! I enjoyed the vibe here and will be coming back SOON!
