Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner, and if you’re planning a summer stay on the Texas coast, now is the time to lock in your spot. With summer rates kicking in across Bolivar Peninsula, not all RV parks are created equal — and the difference between a good deal and a great one comes down to what’s actually included in your monthly rate.
We compared the major RV parks on Bolivar Peninsula so you don’t have to. Here’s how Beachside RV Park in Crystal Beach stacks up heading into summer 2026.
Before you compare prices, you have to compare what those prices actually include. A $550/month rate that doesn’t cover electricity is not cheaper than a $700/month rate that covers everything. Here’s the full picture:
| Park Name | Monthly Rate | Utilities Included | Free WiFi | Free Laundry | Dog Park | Google Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beachside RV Park | $700–$725/mo | ✅ All (elec, water, sewer, trash) | ✅ Free | ✅ Free | ✅ Fenced | 4.6 ⭐ |
| Lazy Pelican RV Park | $675/mo (summer) | Included | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | 4.8 ⭐ |
| Bolivar Peninsula RV Park | $550–$600/mo | Included | Listed | Listed | Listed (dog park) | 4.4 ⭐ |
| Lazy D&D Resort | $577–$741/mo | Included | Not confirmed | Not confirmed | Not listed | 4.4 ⭐ |
| Little Schipper’s RV Park | $675/mo + electricity | ❌ Electricity extra | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | 4.8 ⭐ |
| Sandollar RV Park | Starting at $550/mo | Included | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | 4.6 ⭐ |
| Paula’s Vineyard | $450/mo + electricity | ❌ Electricity extra | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | 4.1 ⭐ |
Rate data sourced from publicly available park listings and internal competitive research. Summer rates apply approximately May through September.
Two parks on the peninsula — Little Schipper’s and Paula’s Vineyard — advertise monthly rates that look lower at first glance. But both charge electricity separately. On the Texas Gulf Coast in summer, air conditioning runs constantly. A coastal summer electricity bill can easily run $150–$250/month or more depending on your RV’s efficiency and usage.
Add that to Paula’s Vineyard’s $450/month base rate and you’re looking at $600–$700/month — with no free laundry, no fenced dog park, and a 4.1 Google rating. At that point, Beachside’s all-in $700/month rate isn’t just competitive — it’s the smarter value.
Beachside isn’t trying to be the cheapest option on Bolivar Peninsula. It’s built to be the best value for guests who plan to stay a while. Here’s what sets it apart:
Your monthly rate is your monthly cost. No utility bills, no meter surprises, no add-ons.
Crystal Beach is right there. Not a drive away — a walk away. For guests who came to the Texas coast to actually be on the coast, this matters. Rinse off at the on-site outdoor shower after a morning on the sand and you’re back at your site in minutes.
Beachside is one of the few parks on the peninsula with a large, fully fenced dog park with waste bags provided. If you’re traveling with dogs — and a lot of long-term guests are — this is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade. Up to 2 pets are welcome per reservation.
This is a feature no other park on the peninsula offers. Beachside has 36 on-site storage units in multiple sizes (9×9, 12×12, 12×25, and 12×35), with the majority being the larger 12×25 and 12×35 units. For long-term guests, contractors, and coastal workers who need to store equipment, tools, or seasonal gear, this is a major practical advantage.
Storage rates:
Beachside operates on a contactless model. Reservations, changes, and support are handled by phone, text, email, or online — no waiting in an office, no rigid check-in windows. A camp host is on-site to assist guests, and maintenance staff are available as needed. It’s a modern, low-friction experience that long-term guests consistently appreciate.
The park features multiple gazebos with seating — shaded outdoor spaces where guests can gather, relax, or just enjoy the coastal breeze. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference for guests spending weeks or months on-site.
Beachside is designed for guests who want more than a quick overnight stop. The park’s monthly-focused model attracts:
The Galveston and Bolivar Peninsula area has consistent demand from workers in energy, construction, maritime, and related industries. Beachside’s all-inclusive monthly rate, on-site storage, and contactless management make it a practical, cost-effective housing solution. No lease, no utility setup, no furniture — just move in and get to work.
For full-time RVers who want a home base on the Texas coast, Beachside offers the stability of a monthly rate with the flexibility of RV living. The beach is walkable, the amenities are solid, and the community is quiet and respectful.
Some guests come for a week and decide to stay for a month. With a weekly rate of $275 and a monthly rate starting at $700, the math makes sense for anyone planning more than a short visit. Memorial Day through Labor Day is prime time on Crystal Beach — and monthly guests lock in their spot while nightly guests compete for availability.
Winter rates at Beachside drop to $500/month — one of the most competitive all-inclusive rates on the peninsula during the off-season. Many guests who discover Beachside in summer come back every winter.
Memorial Day weekend (May 23–25, 2026) marks the unofficial start of summer on the Texas coast. Crystal Beach fills up fast, and monthly sites at Beachside go quickly once summer demand kicks in. If you’re considering a summer stay — whether for work, vacation, or full-time coastal living — booking now secures your site before the holiday rush.
Summer nightly rates are $65/night, with holiday rates at $90/night. Monthly guests at $700–$725/month are getting the equivalent of less than $24/night for a full-hookup site with all utilities, WiFi, laundry, and beach access included.
