What guests say
The park report card
We don’t recycle other sites’ reviews, and this park is too new for many. Early reviews praise the clean private bathrooms, wide paved roads, the ponds and a helpful manager; the gripes are about the walk to the beach, road and construction noise and some cramped sites.

The beach walk. Beach Access #35 is across FM 3005, about a 7-minute walk, the park says; there’s no crosswalk described, so families may prefer to drive.
Hurricane season. June through November; the park doesn’t publish storm or evacuation terms, so ask, and consider travel insurance.
*Drive times are from OpenStreetMap routing and are approximate; summer and cruise-day traffic on Seawall Boulevard can add a lot. Locator map is approximate, not for navigation.

Before you book
Plan your stay
Everything that decides whether Galveston Island RV Park fits your rig, your dates and your budget, in one place.
Our take: a new, good-value park close to town, with shaded full-hookup sites, private bathroom suites, fishing ponds, free kayaks and pickleball. It has no pool, the beach is across a busy road, and with only a few reviews so far it’s still proving itself, but the early signs are good.

Galveston Island RV Park opened around late 2024 or early 2025 on the west end; Good Sam calls it Galveston’s newest RV park. It’s privately owned, with a park director on site, and it suits budget-minded RVers and winter stayers who want to be close to town.
Best for
- Value seekers: nightly rates from $48 and a $765 winter month, with no resort fees.
- Anglers and paddlers: two stocked ponds and free kayaks.
- Dog owners: a fenced off-leash dog park and a mile-long walking loop.
- Older rigs: the park has no RV age limit, just road-ready, licensed and insured.
Consider this
- There’s no pool.
- The beach is across FM 3005, and some reviewers say the walk is longer than advertised.
- Front sites hear the road and a nearby construction site.
- With only a handful of reviews so far, it has a short track record.

Good to know before you pull in
Five things that change your booking
Ask these on the phone before you reserve.
- Which site type fits my rig? Choose Pull Through, Pond Side or Easy Stay; the booking page asks for your length, year and slides.
- Is the $765 winter rate still available? The special covers Easy Stay and Pond Side sites through spring 2027.
- What about summer? Summer rates are higher but not published.
- What’s your storm policy? Hurricane and evacuation terms aren’t published.
- Do you have a military discount? It’s 10%, booked by phone; the site disagrees on whether veterans qualify.
