Park your RV by the Sea
If you own an RV, life on a beach becomes an affordable reality. Just head to Corpus Christi where you'll find more than 100 miles of beautiful beaches with a number of Corpus Christi RV parks just steps or minutes away from the sandy shoreline. Here, you can enjoy the good life -- beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico and resort-style amenities that are available at the RV parks in the Coastal Bend.
For example, the Tropic Island Resort RV Park boasts two swimming pools and is just minutes away from Tropic Island's main docks. Other parks, such as Laguna Shore Village, offer free cable TV and beautiful views of the Laguna Madre. And then there is Colonia del Rey. This park hosts fun events and games organized by the park's activities director, so you'll never be bored in between time in the surf and sand.
Traveling with Fido? No worries. A majority of Corpus Christi RV parks are pet friendly, including the On the Beach RV Park in Port Aransas. As its name implies, this park is located right on the edge of beach, which means that you'll fall asleep to the sound of crashing waves. And for those without a car, a convenient trolley stop is located right outside of the On the Beach RV Park. Just hop aboard the trolley, and you can get to town or to a number of other points on Mustang Island.
Corpus Christi's mild winters make this coastal city a year-round destination, especially for the RV crowd known as Winter Texans. In fact, according to a report published by Texas A&M University Corpus Christi, approximately 1 million visitors a day flock to the Corpus Christi area during the winter months.
