    I love this place! When's making reservations you'll talk to Victoria, one if the owners, who is one of the most friendly people I've ever dealt with on the phone (and in person once you get here!). (I hear that these owners took it over just a few months ago. I don't know about the old owners, but these are great.) The grounds and facilities are well maintained and modern. The doggie walk area was free of burrs (nice and grassy). What should have been the grassy area outside our door was largely reduced to sand. Hopefully they will fix that. One of the great things about this park is that it's small...only 45 sites, so you don't feel like you're lost in a sea of anonymity. We looked at those parks that are right on the beach but realized that we usually wanted to drive our gear to the beach (instead of hauling it over a boardwalk) and once you do that, the short 3-block drive is no different than a 1000 foot drive (and at some of those places, you'd have to drive a lot farther). We also didn't need the attitude at some of those places. We were here in a 39 foot fifth-wheel with 4 slides and had no problems getting in or out. We did not use the on-site showers or restrooms but my one visit found them clean and well kept. My wife made several visits to the pool and liked it a lot.

    Chill little spot real close to beach!! the only issue I had was my cable not working like it should've but the internet worked thank goodness . Honestly it could've been my trailer giving the issue but I overall enjoyed my overnight stay. The grounds are kept up clean and restrooms are clean and big for whole family use. The checking in process was cake even after hours we had no problems. And it was Christmas.. We will be back again for more than an overnight stay.

    It's a long read I know…read more The good - location, pool, on site golf cart rental The bad- too pricey for the lack of parking, cramped RV spaces, questionable power pedestals (our breakers kept tripping) At approximately 10:30 p.m., I was abruptly awakened by an older gentleman repeatedly banging on the door of our camper. When I answered, he immediately began yelling that my truck was parked too far over the parking line and needed to be moved. At no point did he introduce himself or identify himself as an employee or representative of Tropical RV Resort, so I initially believed he was super hostile guest. I tried to explain to him that the designated overflow parking area was completely full and asked where I was expected to park. His response was that I should park off the property on the grass behind the park. I informed him that those areas were also completely full. When I again asked where he expected me to park, he stated that he didn't care, that he would begin fining me $100, and then call the fire marshal so I could be fined an additional $500. I do not tolerate being treated with threats and intimidation. He continued yelling throughout the conversation and would not allow for a productive discussion. To end the confrontation, I simply responded, "Okay," several times and closed the camper door. My husband then stepped outside to understand what was happening after hearing someone yelling at me. Rather than attempting to de-escalate the situation, the gentleman immediately began yelling at him as well. A brief verbal exchange followed, as my husband was understandably unwilling to be spoken to in such a disrespectful manner by someone who had never identified himself or attempted to communicate professionally. At this point, I felt extremely uncomfortable around this person. His behavior was unacceptable for someone who works with the Public and no guest should ever be treated that way for such a minor parking in fraction. There were cars on your property marked with tow warnings because they have been parked there without parking permits. At least one car was there for 48 hours perhaps had those cars been cleared there would've been ample parking. Additionally, there were open spaces in the trailer storage area, but I was informed I could not park there either. I also want to express a genuine concern regarding the older gentleman who confronted us. I cannot speak to his personal circumstances, but based on his behavior that evening, he appeared to be extremely agitated and confrontational. His level of anger, the way he pounded on our camper door late at night, and the manner in which he repeatedly yelled and threatened us made me feel genuinely unsafe. Whether this was an isolated incident or a pattern of behavior, I believe it warrants attention. No guest should feel intimidated or fear for their safety while staying at an RV resort. I sincerely hope management addresses this situation, both for the well-being of the individual involved and for the safety and comfort of future guests. In the end, all this started around 10:30 PM and by 11:15pm we were packed up and ready to go. I would rather forfeit a night or two, than stay in the environment that I was in. I should also note that the angry gentleman sat in the dark on his golf cart, hiding behind a fence, watching us pack up the entire time... it was awkward. This whole mess could've been avoided. Had this gentleman knocked on our door, introduced himself and explained the situation (without yelling and threatening us with fines and the Fire Marshal). This could've been such an easy problem to solve. I feel that in this circumstance, an exception could've been made to allow me to park in the trailer storage area or over by the hotel rooms where there was additional space. I would've been happy to pay the $10 storage fee just to have a place to park on property and not risk being towed by parking somewhere I didn't belong.

We weren't in an RV but had our boat and camped out which was an exception they made for us. We paid 2 nights and ended up staying 1 night and even gave up our refund for the 2nd night due to the inconvenience and harassment we received from the owner. He brought his dogs to intimidate our dog the 3rd time he harassed us. Came to our camp site 3 times in 1 night and the following morning to complain about our vehicles and anything he could complain about. 1 vehicle was parked incorrectly but wasn't addressed and when it was , the vehicle was moved the first time. We left our site early and will not come return nor recommend this site to family nor friends. First approach was " what are you all doing here." Yes it was an RV park and they allowed the boat to be parked but you come up so aggressive after you made the exception?? No need for that. We weren't drunk nor obnoxious- just here to fish. He wasn't enforcing park rules just plain rude! We are not aggressive nor obnoxious people. Keep our extra day but we will never come back. We definitely felt uninvited and uncomfortable. Don't run a business if you aren't friendly and offer good customer service. Thanks but no thanks- an owner will lie to rectify a customer service review to justify his actions. No fishing/rv buddies will stay here nor will we recommend this place.

    I thought it was time for another review of this park since the last one was from six years ago…read morefrom this writing. It also looks like there have been some recent additions since the last review. The park is located at a crosswalk next to an RV park on Avenue G. There is actually a lot to see here starting with a very long paved nature trail running through a nature preserve with observation areas and continues on by the ship channel. You will also find 3 ball diamonds, a large baseball field, a little league diamond, and a T-ball diamond complete with batting cages. Other amenities include a fenced in dog park, a community pool, a soccer field, basketball court, public bathrooms and a large children's play scape. On the property is also a frisbee golf course and skateboard park. You will also find five fenced in pickleball courts that look like they were just built yesterday. The pickle ball courts are open to the public at no cost. There are some covered picnic tables directly next to the pool and a couple of tables in the dog park. This is definitely one of the nicest community parks you will find anywhere.

Dedicated in 2002, Paradise Pond is a 2-acre habitat that provides an excellent example of public/private collaboration. A group of birders who won the Great Texas Birding Classic designated the prize money for the purchase of land located behind a local motel. Several donations of land, additional grants and other funding sources helped to complete the project that birders from across the country now enjoy. Paradise Pond is a stop on the spring migratory route for smaller warblers and other songbirds, while many feathered friends call the pond home all year long. The wheelchair accessible boardwalk and 3 observation decks provide easy access to get "up close and personal" with the birds under a mantle of trees. There is a sitting area at the entrance for watching butterflies, dragonflies and birds, along with information about the flowers and the butterflies that the flowers attract. Private donations of land, foundation funds and teamwork helped make Paradise Pond part of the Birding Trail of Texas. Visitors flock from across the country for a sitting here...and you should too!
