May is here — and that means summer on the Texas Gulf Coast is officially underway. Whether you’re planning a Memorial Day getaway, a full summer escape, or you’re a coastal worker looking for affordable, flexible housing near Galveston, Beachside RV Park in Crystal Beach, TX is your all-inclusive home base on the Bolivar Peninsula.
With summer rates now in effect and sites filling fast, here’s everything you need to know about spending your summer at one of Crystal Beach’s most amenity-rich RV parks — and why monthly guests keep coming back year after year.
The Bolivar Peninsula stretches along the upper Texas Gulf Coast, just a short ferry ride from Galveston Island. Crystal Beach sits at its heart — a laid-back, beach-oriented community where the pace slows down, the sunsets are spectacular, and the Gulf of Mexico is always within reach.
Summer on the peninsula means:
And at Beachside RV Park, you’re walking distance from the beach — no car required for your morning walk or evening sunset stroll.
Summer rates are now active at Beachside. Here’s what you can expect:
Everything is included in your monthly rate: electricity, water, sewer, WiFi, trash service, and free on-site laundry. No surprise utility bills. No add-on fees. Just one flat rate for a full summer of coastal living.

Beachside RV Park is built for guests who want more than just a place to park. Here’s what every guest enjoys:
Every one of our 46 RV sites is a full hookup site with individual water, sewer, and electric connections. Each pedestal offers 50 amp, 30 amp, and 20 amp service — compatible with all standard RV types including travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes. Run your AC all summer without worrying about an electricity bill. It’s all covered.
Whether you’re working remotely, streaming your favorite shows, or staying connected with family, our included WiFi keeps you online all summer long. No hotspot data caps. No extra charges.
Our on-site laundry facility is free for all guests. Skip the laundromat runs and keep your summer wardrobe fresh without spending a dime.
Traveling with your four-legged co-pilot? Our large fenced dog park gives your pets room to run, play, and socialize safely. Waste bags are provided. We welcome up to 2 pets per reservation.
After a day at the beach, rinse off the salt and sand at our outdoor shower before heading back to your RV. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in daily coastal living.
Gather with neighbors, enjoy the Gulf breeze, or simply relax in the shade at one of our multiple gazebos with seating areas throughout the park.
Need extra space for your gear, kayaks, tools, or seasonal items? Beachside offers 36 on-site storage units in multiple sizes — 9×9, 12×12, 12×25, and 12×35 — available to rent monthly:
Having storage right on-site is a rare convenience that most RV parks simply don’t offer.
Our mix of concrete, gravel, and grass sites — many shaded by mature trees — means you can find a spot that fits your style. Whether you prefer a shaded retreat or an open site with maximum airflow, we have options.
Beachside RV Park is designed with monthly and extended-stay guests in mind. Our community is quiet, respectful, and beach-oriented — the kind of place where neighbors become friends and summer stretches into fall without you even noticing.
Here’s what makes monthly living at Beachside different from a typical campground:
Monthly guests at Beachside aren’t just passing through — they’re living the coastal lifestyle, and they stay because the value and community are unmatched on the peninsula.
The Texas Gulf Coast is home to a significant workforce — from energy sector contractors and construction crews to healthcare professionals and maritime workers. If you’re working in or around Galveston, Port Arthur, Beaumont, or the Bolivar Peninsula this summer, Beachside RV Park offers a practical, affordable, and comfortable housing alternative.
Why coastal workers choose Beachside:
At $700/month all-inclusive, Beachside offers one of the most cost-effective workforce housing options on the upper Texas Gulf Coast — with the added bonus of beach access after your workday ends.
Memorial Day weekend (May 23–26, 2026) is one of the biggest events of the year on the Bolivar Peninsula. Crystal Beach draws thousands of visitors for the long weekend, and RV sites fill up fast.
Holiday nightly rate: $90/night
If you’re planning to be at Crystal Beach for Memorial Day, don’t wait. Monthly guests already have their sites secured — if you’re considering a monthly stay that covers the holiday weekend and beyond, now is the time to lock in your spot.

When you’re based at Beachside, the entire Bolivar Peninsula is your backyard. Here are some summer highlights worth exploring:
Crystal Beach’s wide, open Gulf shoreline is the main attraction. Swim, fish from the surf, collect shells, watch dolphins, or simply sit in a beach chair and let the Gulf breeze do its thing. Walking distance from your site.
The free Texas Department of Transportation ferry connects Bolivar Peninsula to Galveston Island in about 18 minutes. It’s a scenic ride and your gateway to Galveston’s restaurants, shops, historic Strand District, and Moody Gardens.
Located at the eastern tip of the peninsula near Port Bolivar, Fort Travis offers historic WWII-era bunkers, excellent birding, fishing, and sweeping views of the Houston Ship Channel. A great half-day outing for history buffs and nature lovers alike.
Crystal Beach has a growing food scene anchored by Gulf seafood. From casual roadside shrimp shacks to sit-down restaurants with bay views, you’ll find fresh local flavors within a short drive of the park.
The Bolivar Peninsula is a premier fishing destination. Surf fishing, bay fishing, and offshore charters are all accessible from Crystal Beach. Redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and more are in season throughout the summer.
Getting set up at Beachside is simple. Our contactless management model means you can handle everything online or by phone — no need to show up in person to check in or sign paperwork.
