Situated directly on the shores of the Laguna Madre, this destination provides a secure and scenic environment for active duty, retirees, and DoD cardholders. The park is well-regarded for its peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking sunrise views over the water, serving as an excellent home base for exploring the Texas coast while enjoying the safety of a military installation.

The park is nestled within the secure perimeter of Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, positioned on a peninsula surrounded by the bay. This unique location offers campers front-row seats to coastal wildlife and refreshing sea breezes. Guests often enjoy the sights of naval aircraft training overhead, adding a distinct sense of place to the stay. The surrounding area is characterized by vast coastal wetlands and the sparkling waters of Oso Bay, making it a haven for those who appreciate maritime landscapes.

The current state of the facilities presents several challenges. The infrastructure exhibits signs of disrepair, including road surfaces with significant potholes. The recreational center, with its malfunctioning air conditioning and open windows, suffers from a mold odor. While the center offers amenities such as a television and seating, the environment may induce sinus issues. Monthly discounts are not available. Guests with dogs should exercise caution on the lawns due to the presence of grass burrs. Due to consistent winds, the use of awnings or sun shades is not recommended. RV spots are adequately spaced. Shower water temperature is satisfactory. The men's showers require renovation, improved ventilation, and pest control. The Wi-Fi service, though functional, has experienced issues with the repeater nearest to our location, rendering it unsuitable for streaming. Rule enforcement appears inconsistent. For example, a directive was issued regarding the placement of a folding dolly, while other vehicles have been observed parked on the grass for extended periods. Photographic evidence supports this observation. The camp host also regularly parks a golf cart on the grass. The rules were provided upon check-in, with key points highlighted. Despite these issues, the location offers appealing features, including scenic views, ocean breezes, and a tranquil atmosphere. The Independence Day celebration was well-executed.

Great RV spots! There is a lot of room between sites, most sites have water views, and the price is excellent! The staff are amazing! Great laundry facilities, just bring your patient pants as it's small, but no smaller than I've seen at other MWR RV sites, and it's clean. Highly recommend. We stayed much longer than we originally planned. Great location!

This is my 3rd time here because I love being near the water and the warmer temps in the winter. I recommend something to hold your slide toppers down for when it gets windy. If you're staying in park B don't pull onto the 1st road because of the potholes, unless that's where your site is. Everyone in the office is very nice and able to answer questions. I've enjoyed meeting many free spirited, kind and helpful military travelers here! Was invited to have Christmas dinner with my sweet neighbors!

Campground has good spots and some really bad ones. The road to enter is full of potholes. You can tell that they have fixed quite a few. Half of the campground was not mowed. There were so many mosquitoes. Very hard to be outside without getting bitten several times. Every time we opened the door, the mosquitoes would come inside the RV. It has bathrooms and a laundry room. This campground is for military only
