The bottom line on rates: At $700–$725/month with ALL utilities, WiFi, and laundry included, Beachside delivers the most transparent, all-in value on the peninsula. Parks advertising lower base rates often add electric costs that can run $100–$200/month in a Texas summer — quickly erasing any apparent savings.
At Beachside, your monthly rate covers electricity, water, sewer, trash, WiFi, and laundry. That’s it. One flat rate, no meter surprises, no add-on fees. In a Texas summer where AC runs constantly, this matters enormously. Some competing parks charge electric separately — and summer electric bills in coastal Texas can easily add $150–$250/month to your cost.
Located at 1280 TX-87, Crystal Beach, TX 77650, Beachside puts you steps from the Gulf of Mexico. Rinse off at the on-site outdoor shower after your beach session and head back to your site. No driving, no parking hassles — just pure coastal living.
Traveling with your dog this summer? Beachside’s large fenced dog park with waste bags is one of the best pet amenities on Bolivar Peninsula. Your pup gets to run free while you relax — it’s a win for everyone. Maximum 2 pets per reservation; park rules apply.
Free laundry is a game-changer for monthly guests. No trips to town, no quarters, no laundromat runs. It’s included in your rate and available on-site — a convenience most competing parks simply don’t offer.
Beachside operates on a modern contactless model. Reservations, changes, and support are handled by 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, and maintenance staff are available as needed. It’s the kind of low-friction experience that makes long-term stays genuinely comfortable.
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. Whether you need to store a boat, extra gear, tools, or seasonal items, having secure storage steps from your RV is a massive convenience for monthly and extended-stay guests.
Every single site at Beachside is a full hookup site — individual water, sewer, and a power pedestal with 50 amp, 30 amp, and 20 amp connections. Whether you’re running a large fifth wheel with dual AC units or a compact travel trailer, you’re covered. No partial hookup surprises, no shared connections.
Father’s Day falls on June 21, 2026 — and there’s no better gift than a beach weekend on Bolivar Peninsula. Crystal Beach offers everything Dad could want:

Working in the Galveston area, on the peninsula, or in the petrochemical corridor? Beachside offers reliable, affordable monthly housing with all utilities included, fast WiFi for remote work, and a quiet, respectful atmosphere. It’s a legitimate home base — not just a campground.
If your goal is to wake up close to the Gulf every morning, Beachside delivers. Walking distance to the beach, an outdoor rinse shower, gazebos for outdoor living, and a community of like-minded coastal residents make this the closest thing to beach house living at an RV park price.

Other parks may advertise lower base rates, but once you factor in electric bills, laundromat trips, and missing amenities, the real cost tells a different story. At Beachside, what you see is what you pay — and what you get is a genuine coastal community built for people who love the beach life.
