This review is a bit late. We have visited this RV campground 6 times . Mostly during the winter, but one summer also. As stated many times by others the winter wind will get to you. We love the beach, and made it a point to walk the dogs down there at least twice a day. The people on the base, and in town can not be beaten. There are also about a dozen more positive points. Due to a couple of factors we have decided to stay in Rockport, Tx this year. First point is the base has priced themselves out of competition with the civilian campgrounds. The price for my 30 amp trailer, would be $18 per day,or $580 per month. The campground in Rockport is $320, incld. WiFi, and cable TV. True I will have to pay electric, but that should not run more that $40 per mo. Next point is the lack of organization, at the base. Our last stay was riddled with changes that affected us, and with little or no notice. The poor people in the office had no idea of what was going on. I believe that the powers to be are more interested in making money than servicing the Active and retired military people that it is their mission to do. It is a shame that I have to write this type of review, but in my opinion this facility has been lowering it standards of service for the few years.

The Campground has the friendly small town feel to it. Not to big so people feel relaxed about meeting others. The staff go out of their way to make the visitor feel welcome as the flowers in May. Every time we go back there are self help improvements , which show that the staff are not willing to sit on past accomplishments. The city of Corpus Christi has a lot to offer, and with the reduced priced on base tickets, the attractions are more appealing I would recommend to anyone who wants a relaxing setting. Russ Marooney

This is our third and to date longest visit yet. The base is small and personable. The active duty members are more than willing to accept and include us old retirees. The exchange /commissary is smaller than what we are use to but what little we could not find was available about a mile outside the gate. Security made it almost painless getting out stickers. We took advantage of some of the boating classes offered at the waterfront rec area. Not only were they informative but fun. Got a lot for a very few bucks. After the sailing class we felt confident enough to buy a 19 ft sailboat which we are using once or twice a week on our local lakes. This winter we plan to take advantage of the free fitness center. For $10 a month you can join any/all of their classes. The overall attitude of both the military and civilian personal goes way above the expected or required. We have decided to make this our annual escape destination.We have been to other bases where this was not the case. Not only things to do on base but a lot going on in Corpus Christi. Plus you can't beat the FRESH sea food. Only real negative was the for hire WiFi service. Don't waste your money on it.
