Memorial Day weekend 2026 is just around the corner — and if you’re planning to spend it (or the entire summer) on the Texas Gulf Coast, you already know that Bolivar Peninsula fills up fast. Crystal Beach is one of the most beloved coastal destinations in Texas, and RV sites along TX-87 are some of the most sought-after real estate on the peninsula from May through September.
But not all RV parks on Bolivar Peninsula are created equal. If you’re comparing your options — whether for a long Memorial Day weekend, a month-long summer stay, or a permanent coastal base — this guide breaks down exactly how Beachside RV Park stacks up against every major competitor in the area, rate by rate and amenity by amenity.
Spoiler: when you factor in everything that’s included, Beachside isn’t just competitive — it’s the clear value leader for summer 2026.
There are roughly a dozen RV parks scattered along TX-87 and the surrounding roads of Bolivar Peninsula. For summer monthly stays, here’s how the major players compare on rate alone:
| Park Name | Summer Monthly Rate | Utilities Included? | Google Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beachside RV Park & Storage | $700–$725/mo | YES — All utilities | 4.6 ⭐ |
| Lazy Pelican RV Park | $675–$695/mo | Varies | 4.8 ⭐ |
| Bolivar Peninsula RV Park | $550–$600/mo | Not confirmed all-in | 4.4 ⭐ |
| Lazy D&D Resort | $600–$700/mo | Varies by season | 4.4 ⭐ |
| Paula’s Vineyard | $450/mo + electricity | NO — Electricity extra | 4.1 ⭐ |
| Little Schipper’s RV Park | $675/mo + electricity | NO — Electricity extra | 4.8 ⭐ |
| Sandollar RV Park | Starting at $550/mo | Not confirmed all-in | 4.6 ⭐ |
Rates based on available competitor data. Always confirm current rates directly with each park.
At first glance, Beachside’s $700/month rate looks mid-to-high range. But that number tells only half the story. The real question is: what does your monthly rate actually include?
At Beachside RV Park, your monthly rate is genuinely all-in. There are no surprise add-ons at the end of the month. Here’s everything bundled into that single rate:
Compare that to parks like Paula’s Vineyard ($450/mo + electricity) or Little Schipper’s ($675/mo + electricity). In the Texas summer heat, running your AC around the clock can add $150–$250+ per month to your electricity bill. Suddenly that “cheaper” park isn’t cheaper at all.
When you do the real math, Beachside’s all-in $700/month is one of the most competitive true costs on the entire peninsula.
Beachside RV Park is located at 1280 TX-87, Crystal Beach, TX 77650 — within walking distance of the Gulf of Mexico. After a day on the sand, rinse off at the park’s dedicated outdoor shower before heading back to your rig. No hauling sand through your RV, no extra drive, no parking hassle.
This is the Crystal Beach lifestyle at its most convenient.
Traveling with your dog? Beachside has a large fenced dog park with waste bags provided — one of the most complete pet amenities of any RV park in the Crystal Beach area. Your pets get to enjoy the coastal lifestyle too, safely and comfortably.

For coastal workers, long-term residents, and anyone who needs extra space, this is a game-changer.
Beachside’s 46 full-hookup sites include a mix of concrete, gravel, and grass pads — many shaded by mature trees. Multiple gazebos with seating create natural gathering spots. It’s a laid-back, beach-oriented atmosphere with quiet hours enforced — the kind of place where you actually want to stay long-term.
Memorial Day weekend (May 23–26, 2026) marks the unofficial start of summer on the Texas Gulf Coast. Crystal Beach will be buzzing with activity — bonfires on the beach, fishing, ATV rides on the sand, and the kind of laid-back coastal energy that makes Bolivar Peninsula special.
Here’s what makes Beachside the right base camp for the holiday weekend and beyond:
And if Memorial Day weekend turns into “I’m staying all summer” — Beachside’s monthly rates kick in immediately, making the transition from short stay to long stay seamless.
