At first glance, a $450/month or $550/month rate sounds like a bargain. But here’s what many RVers don’t realize until they get their first bill: electricity on the Texas Gulf Coast in summer is expensive.
Running your RV air conditioner through a hot, humid Gulf Coast summer — where temperatures regularly hit the 90s and humidity makes it feel even hotter — can easily add $150 to $300+ per month to your electric bill. Suddenly that “cheap” $450/month site is costing you $650–$750 or more, with no cap and no predictability.
At Beachside RV Park, your monthly rate is truly all-inclusive:
One flat rate. No meter. No surprises. That’s the Beachside difference.
Located at 1280 TX-87, Crystal Beach, TX 77650, Beachside RV Park is a full-service, full-hookup RV community designed specifically for people who want to live at the beach — not just visit it.
Every one of Beachside’s 46 RV sites is a full hookup site with individual water, sewer, and a power pedestal offering 50 amp, 30 amp, and 20 amp connections. Whether you’re running a large fifth wheel with dual air conditioners or a compact travel trailer, your rig is covered.
This isn’t “near the beach” marketing language — Beachside RV Park is genuinely walking distance to the Gulf of Mexico. After a morning on the water, rinse off at the park’s dedicated outdoor shower before heading back to your site. That’s coastal living done right.
Traveling with your dog? Beachside has one of the best pet setups on the peninsula. The large, fully fenced dog park gives your pup room to run safely, with waste bags provided on-site. Maximum 2 pets per reservation — a policy that keeps the community clean and comfortable for everyone.
Monthly guests especially appreciate this one. Free laundry on-site means no trips to a laundromat, no quarters, no hassle. It’s a small amenity that makes a big difference when you’re living at the park full-time.
Multiple gazebos with seating create natural gathering spots for the Beachside community. Whether you’re watching a sunset, sharing a meal, or just enjoying the Gulf breeze, the outdoor spaces at Beachside are designed for the beach lifestyle.
This is a feature virtually no other RV park on Bolivar Peninsula offers. Beachside has 36 on-site storage units in multiple sizes:
Store your boat, kayaks, beach gear, tools, or extra belongings right on-site. No separate storage facility trip required.
Beachside operates on a modern, contactless management model. There’s no on-site office with limited hours — instead, reservations, changes, and guest support are handled via phone, email, text, or online, whenever you need it. A camp host is present on-site to assist guests, and maintenance staff are available as needed.
For monthly guests and long-term residents, this means:
The Bolivar Peninsula and greater Galveston area support a significant workforce — from construction and maritime trades to hospitality, healthcare, and energy sector workers. If you’re working in the area and need reliable, affordable housing that doesn’t feel like a motel room, Beachside RV Park is built for you.
Consider what monthly RV living at Beachside offers a working professional:
Compare that to a motel room at $80–$120/night (that’s $2,400–$3,600/month) or a short-term apartment rental with separate utility bills, and the value of a monthly RV site at Beachside becomes crystal clear.
With Father’s Day weekend (June 21, 2026) approaching and the heart of summer beach season in full swing, now is the time to lock in your monthly site at Beachside. Summer monthly rates are $700/month for back-in sites and $725/month for pull-through sites — all-inclusive.
Sites fill up during peak summer season. Don’t wait until the best spots are gone.
