Beachside RV Park is located at 1280 TX-87, Crystal Beach, TX 77650 — walking distance to the Gulf of Mexico. After a day on the beach, rinse off at the park’s dedicated outdoor shower before heading back to your site. This is beach access living at its most convenient.
Traveling with pets? Beachside has one of the best dog setups on the peninsula: a large, fully fenced dog park with waste bags provided. Up to 2 pets per reservation are welcome. For pet owners, this is a game-changer — no more searching for a safe off-leash area.
Beachside operates on a modern contactless model. Reservations, changes, and guest support are all 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 flexibility that monthly guests and working professionals need.
This is a feature almost no other park on the peninsula offers: 36 on-site storage units in sizes ranging from 9×9 up to 12×35. Monthly rates start at $95/month for a 12×12 and go up to $165/month for a 12×35. Whether you need to store a boat, tools, seasonal gear, or extra belongings, having storage steps from your RV site is an enormous convenience.
Every single site at Beachside is full hookup with a 50/30/20 amp power pedestal, individual water connection, and individual sewer connection. No shared hookups, no dump station runs. Whether you’re in a large fifth wheel, a Class A motorhome, or a travel trailer, your rig is fully supported.
Beachside enforces quiet hours and maintains a laid-back, beach-oriented atmosphere. This isn’t a party campground — it’s a community of people who are here for the coastal lifestyle. Monthly guests, remote workers, and coastal workforce residents consistently describe the environment as peaceful and well-maintained.
