    TLDR: great staff and facilities for family getaway with opportunity to launch boat or fish from…read morepier. We had never stayed at a KOA before. What a pleasant surprise! I wanted to bring our fishing boat to the coast to take the family fishing but knew the entire trip couldn't be entirely fish focused as the kids, 3 and 5, along with my wife were likely to be unsatisfied if we spent all weekend running around the bay. I saw this KOA had a pool, arcade, shuffle board, ping pong, narrow beach and splash pad for the kids. What excited me was that it also has a boat ramp and very nice fishing pier/day dock. I thought this might be the perfect compromise of kids activities and the chance to take the family fishing without the risk of boring everyone to death if the fish weren't biting and/or I was unsuccessful in finding 'em. lol. We decided to rent a cabin for the weekend and headed down from Austin. The Port Lavaca KOA delivered! The facilities and staff were fantastic. Kids especially loved the splash pad and arcade. The cabin was very well maintained, air conditioned and comfortable. We stayed in one that had a bunk bed for the kids and a full bed for adults. An observation deck extended above the cabin to allow panoramic views of the bay and surrounding area. There is a restaurant on site with pizza, wings and a few other items. Laundry and shop with ice, food, camping supplies and beer/wine were also on site. About 20 minutes away is "downtown" Port Lavaca with a surprisingly large number of restaurants, including a couple that were somewhat higher end. Per the recommendation of the KOA owner/manager, Missy, we had a fantastic dinner at Taiyo sushi to partially make up for the lack of fish we caught ourselves..... Boat ramp was suitable for a shallow water boat, canoes, kayaks. Given the depth of Vaes and Matagorda bay, a shallow water boat is what you need the navigate in the area anyway. A bow rider, ski boat or pontoon boat would probably not be launch able here. A huge thunderstorm had hit the day before we arrived. As a result, the boat ramp had some sand and shells washed up that made launching tricky. Rather than risk getting stuck, I asked the staff at the office if I could borrow a shovel to move the sand out of the way. Two staff members showed up within 15 minutes with shovels and helped clear the ramp. Told me they'd do it, but I had intended and insisted on helping. Before we departed, staff allowed us to use a hose to flush the boat motor (salt/brackish water here) snd spray undercarriage of the SUV. They even offered to pressure wash the boat! Definitely above and beyond. In short, we all had a blast and will definitely plan another visit.

    The customer service here is extraordinary. I phone call or text promptly returned - 5 star…read moreservice. Kids asked us to join their family to go camping. They rented a RV spot and we rented the yurt. Then my granddaughter asked if she could stay with us! So I called the office (before office hours) and they happily moved us to an available cabin (the last one)! I called back a few minutes later wondering what site our kids were in. She told me and I was delighted that it was just 5 spots away from our cabin. The next day my son in law told us that the campground had called and asked if they wanted to move to the spot next to us!! Of course they did, and it's been just wonderful! So much here for the kids. Played shuffleboard this morning and connect four. Then went to the sand beach, floated in the water and made sandcastles. Windsurfing from the beach for my son-in-law. Also love the pool and splash pad! Snow cones at 3, I better get going!

    This is the worst RV Park I have ever stayed in. From the changing of the rates to the owner of the…read morepark. I stayed there for almost Nine months and during that time the rate changed THREE times. The owner is very disrespectful, and rude. He likes to make comments about people that have kids and family with them there. I am a construction worker and my family goes with me wherever I go. I have stayed in several parks all over the country and this is by far the worst. The management even changed TWICE while I was there. The owner hardly ever showed up to make sure things were running as they should. The new management that came in must have been trying to steal money because I was told my electric bill was 285.00 dollars and after doing the math correctly it only came to 160.00 dollars, and that was for a meter reading from June 1st - July 18th. PLEASE save your time and money and find a nicer place to stay if you go to Port Lavaca. Then to top it all off the owner changed the rate recently to get all the people that had families out of his park, then once he had it his way changed it back to the previous rate.
