Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer on the Texas Gulf Coast — and there’s no better place to kick it off than Beachside RV Park in Crystal Beach, TX. Whether you’re rolling in for a long holiday weekend, planning a week-long escape, or ready to plant roots for the entire summer season, Beachside offers the full hookup comfort, beach proximity, and laid-back coastal atmosphere that makes every day feel like a vacation.
With summer nightly rates starting at just $65/night, a weekly rate of $275, and monthly rates from $700/month — all utilities included — there’s never been a better time to make the Texas coast your home base.
Crystal Beach sits on the Bolivar Peninsula, a 27-mile stretch of Gulf Coast shoreline just a short ferry ride from Galveston. It’s one of Texas’s most beloved beach destinations — and Memorial Day weekend is when the coast truly comes alive. Think beach bonfires, fresh Gulf seafood, cold drinks under a gazebo, and the sound of waves just steps from your RV door.
But here’s what separates the smart travelers from the rest: instead of fighting for a cramped hotel room or a crowded campsite, they set up at Beachside RV Park and enjoy the holiday weekend — and the entire summer — in comfort.
One of the biggest advantages of staying at Beachside RV Park is what’s already included in your rate. Unlike some competitors on the peninsula who charge separately for electricity or utilities, Beachside bundles everything:
Compare that to nearby options like Paula’s Vineyard, which charges $450/month plus electric, or Little Schipper’s RV Park at $675+/month plus electric. At Beachside, your $700/month summer rate is all-in — no meter surprises at the end of the month.
| Stay Length | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Nightly | $65/night | Standard summer rate |
| Holiday Nightly | $90/night | Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day weekends |
| Weekly | $275/week | Best value for 1–3 week stays |
| Monthly (Backup sites) | $700/month | All utilities included |
| Monthly (Pull-through sites) | $725/month | All utilities included |
Winter monthly rates drop to just $500/month — making Beachside one of the most affordable full-hookup, all-inclusive options on the Bolivar Peninsula year-round.

At Beachside RV Park, the Gulf of Mexico isn’t a drive away — it’s a short walk. After a morning on the sand, rinse off at the on-site outdoor shower before heading back to your rig. It’s the kind of seamless beach-to-campsite experience that makes a holiday weekend feel effortless.
Crystal Beach is known for its wide, open shoreline where you can drive your vehicle directly onto the beach — a Texas tradition that makes hauling coolers, chairs, and gear a breeze. Memorial Day weekend brings out the best of this culture: families, friends, and fellow RVers all sharing the same stretch of Gulf Coast paradise.
Traveling with pets this Memorial Day? Beachside RV Park is pet-friendly and proud of it. The park features a large fenced dog park complete with waste bags, giving your four-legged crew a safe space to run, play, and burn off energy after a day at the beach.
Whether you’ve got a golden retriever who loves the surf or a small dog who just wants to sniff around the gazebo, Beachside has the space and amenities to keep everyone happy.
Memorial Day is just the beginning. Many guests who arrive for the holiday weekend end up staying for weeks — or the entire summer. Here’s why Beachside works so well as a long-term summer base camp:
Beachside offers 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. Store your jet skis, kayaks, beach gear, or extra equipment right on the property — no off-site storage runs needed.
Multiple gazebos with seating create natural gathering spots for cookouts, card games, and sunset watching. Memorial Day cookouts hit different when you’ve got a shaded gazebo and Gulf breeze to go with them.
Extended stays mean laundry needs. Beachside’s free on-site laundry is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade that most RV parks charge extra for — or don’t offer at all.
Beachside operates on a contactless management model. Reservations, changes, and support are handled via phone, text, email, or online — no waiting in line at an office, no rigid check-in windows. A camp host is on-site to assist when needed, and maintenance staff are available as required. It’s the kind of low-friction experience that makes long stays genuinely relaxing.
Crystal Beach and the surrounding Bolivar Peninsula offer more than just beach time. Here’s what’s within easy reach of Beachside RV Park:
The free Galveston-Bolivar Ferry connects the peninsula to Galveston Island — a short, scenic ride that opens up access to the Strand Historic District, Moody Gardens, Schlitterbahn Galveston, and the island’s full dining and entertainment scene. It’s a perfect Memorial Day day trip.
Fort Travis, located near the ferry landing in Port Bolivar, is a historic coastal fortification turned public park. Explore the old gun batteries, enjoy panoramic Gulf views, and catch dolphins playing in the ship channel — all for free.
Crystal Beach has a growing food scene anchored by Gulf Coast classics. Fresh shrimp, crab, and fish are staples at local spots along TX-87. Stock up at local bait shops and seafood markets, or grab a cold one at one of the peninsula’s laid-back beach bars.
The Bolivar Peninsula is a world-class fishing destination. From surf fishing right off the beach to bay fishing in East Galveston Bay, anglers of all skill levels find their spot here. Memorial Day weekend is prime time for redfish, speckled trout, and flounder.
The Bolivar Peninsula has several RV parks, but not all are created equal. Here’s how Beachside stacks up on the factors that matter most for summer stays:
| Feature | Beachside RV Park | Typical Competitors |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Rate (Summer) | $700–$725 (all-in) | $450–$741 (some + electric) |
| Utilities Included | ✅ All included | ⚠️ Some charge separately for electric |
| Free WiFi | ✅ Included | Varies |
| Free Laundry | ✅ Included | Rarely included |
| Fenced Dog Park | ✅ Large, fenced | Rarely available |
| On-Site Storage | ✅ 36 units available | Not typically offered |
| Contactless Management | ✅ Full contactless model | Varies |
| Google Rating | ⭐ 4.6 | 4.1–4.8 range |
When you factor in the all-inclusive pricing, the on-site storage, the fenced dog park, and the contactless convenience, Beachside delivers exceptional value for summer stays — especially for guests planning to stay a month or longer.
