Wonderful experience with the front desk. We had unexpected bad weather and she let us shorten our stay without penalty

Convenient location but the park is too big and very congested, with sites too close together.

Nice staff, nice location. Tight sites and gravel surface not the best.

Always an awesome stay

Cabin 8 appears to be 15 years old and needs remodeled or replaced. It's the only cabin overlooking the bay that is handicap accessiblle. The interior plumbing, electrical and walls/trim has issues and haven't been corrected for the last two years and 4 different stays there. The staff is great and very helpful. Have the same cabin booked for September 2022.

Please tell people to unhook any towed vehicles. I had to make turn much sharper than I should have made. My fault but I did not know what turns I would have to make. Love the people working there. Very friendly. Love the garbage pick up. Put it out and 10 minutes later it is gone. Another dog park would be useful. Hate the rock covering the sites.

We had a great stay! We plan to return at some point with our kids! It was a nice getaway for us. Enjoyed the hot tub and everything was clean and everyone was helpful and polite!

Been coming to this KOA for years. Occasional infrastructural problems (unreliable cable TV, power issues due to archaic delivery systems (both on-site & city-wide) and a few others, are, incrementally, being addressed. The new management & staff are friendly and helpful and seem to have a handle on what needs to be done, and are doing it. Encouraging for realizing this KOA's true potential.

We spent a wonderful month at this KOA and will again

It was a beautiful park and a great pool. The people were very friendly.The space we had in was very noisy and close to the main road. Unfortunately the pier burned down 3 days before we arrived so we couldn't fish or Kayak at the park. Personally I love being very close to the beach and can do without the amenities and landscaping so on our next trip back we will be staying at the county park.

Customer service needs to be improved. Office personnel need more training in the park sites/RV dynamics so that campers feel respected. Special attention needs to be given to the service people manning the propane gas; they were efficient and courteous at all times needed. Otherwise, our three months were comfortable; we urge a more cheerful staff next year and a more diverse entertainment age

I week cabin stay. 2 siblings and their families shared the space. Needed more garbage bags.

I went into the park knowing they would get 5 stars. However, upon check-in I was told the pier and its restaurants had burned down. So that area was closed. Had I known, I would have canceled. No food. Later to find out the island was on a “water boil advisory”starting the day before I checked in. I just put new filters on rv and I am extremely bothered that bad water ran through my new rv.

Cost changing. This koa is going to a daily rate charge. No more monthly rate. Why?

We camped for a month at site 171. This is our 5th year. We like our neighbors, the staff is very friendly and my wife and I love the workout room and commons area especially on windy days which are many. The only odd thing was the presence of mosquitos. Never encountered that before.

We enjoyed our first stay at KOA in SPI. The park is clean and well kept and the staff was friendly and helpful. We appreciated the daily curbside trash pick-up! We also liked and utilized the dog park and walking area for our dog Baxter.

Our stay was very good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The grounds we well kept and we’ll organized. The only thing that needs improvement is the WiFi….it is very weak. For the daily cost of the site, it should be much better!

The main showerhouse is dated and inadequate for the size of the campground. It has only one commode and one of the (only) two urinals was out of order. The staff did keep it clean but with those minimal facilities it was below my normal KOA expectations. As I understand it, this campground is corporate owned (not a franchise). If so, KOA should do better.

We always enjoy our stay at SPI KOA. This was our sixth year staying at SPI KOA. The KOA new management team is much more strick this year. That is good and bad, but they need to provide printed rules to the campers vs driving around and just telling campers "NO". i.e., if RV washing is only permitted on certain days, let the campers know upfront. WiFi did not work very well this year.

Staff was helpful and friendly! Everything was kept very clean! Only complaint was our site was super tight!!
Mar 03, 2022
Needs better drainage as our campsite held a lot of water when it rained. The dog turnout pen needs to be enlarged. Staff was friendly. It's too bad the campsites are so crowded for larger campers. Many had difficulty maneuvering into place. Overall it was enjoyable.

Customer service is not what used to be. Would have been nice if they provided a slot with the same amenities that we had the two previous years. I heard they fired someone who was messing with the slot selection, but that should have not been a problem we generated. They also billed us the type of lot we had. We had to go to office to get a correction. Also was told they would put us o

it was a good stay. The weather was not as good but not the parks fault. The sites are a bit tight to get into but the spacing is ok. The staff is fantastic and helpful. always around busy maintaining the park. Good areas to walk.

We stayed at the South Padre KOA on February 25-26 2022 in a cabin. While packing to leave a cockroach went running across the bed. I caught it to show the folks at the front desk. I had to call the manager twice before he called me back. I explained what had happened and was told that this was the south and this happens. Not happy with answer or how it was handled. Will be looking else where.

Aside from unexpected cold and wind, I had a great time. Too bad about the Pier 19 fire but there were other places to eat and drink! Will definitely be going back to play more on the beach when it warms back up!

We stayed at the campgrounds for two weeks in February. We were pleased with the cleanliness and upkeep of the grounds. All of the staff we met were friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make our stay pleasant. Two suggestions. The laundry rooms are too small for the number of sites and dog park is too small to be of much use. There is a very limited area to walk dogs within the park.

We are regular customers and were Very Surprised that the rates were Extremely Raised. We went ahead and made a Monthly reservation for May 2022 which cost us about 185% more than in our previous stays. Seems everyone making current reservations has to make up for the lower fees being provided to those who were staying there for long extended periods....Not fair to us.

While the artic freeze kept us from enjoying the outdoors, we were very pleased with the KOA and will stay there again. They greet you, escort you to your site and help you park. Communication is excellent…and text messages are used to update you on happenings and answer questions. Wi-Fi works GREAT! Trash is picked up from your site daily and restroom and showers are very clean.

Beautiful little cabin, perfect for our family stay.

We are work campers and this location and KOA were perfect for our next temporary home on our winter journey. Staffing is great and helpful. This was our first visit to South Padre and didn't know what to expect. This KOA was a perfect place to stay. This end of the island seems to be where the large RV parks are located. Isla Blanca Park is another large RV park located next door and run by Cameron county. Several smaller beach camping ares are also run by the county along State Park rd 100. South Padre island and Port Isabela have plenty of restaurants and services available in a short drive. Several fun attractions are just minutes away from the park. The weather was cold and rainy most of the week we camped at this KOA. Since we were work camping, the weather didn't really matter and we didn't get a chance to take advantage of many of the amenities. We did inspect those we didn't take advantage of. WiFi, laundry and shower facilities are distributed well throughout the park and worked well. Propane is also available on site and not at an overly inflated price. At the end of the pier is a good restaurant and several types of water excursions. Just wish we had more time and better weather to properly check it all out. Defiantly a place to stay longer than a week. The park is on the bay side of the island, has a lot of palm trees and quite pretty. One thing I thought was cool about the park is it seems to be built on an old water pumping station. I wasn't able to confirm this, but it looks like the office and community rooms are built inside old water reservoir tanks. The swimming pool seems to be built on an old outdoor water holding pool. Some large water distribution pipes protrude out of the ground in some areas and are integrated into the concept of the whole park. Very well done. Hope we can find our way to this KOA again.
