A hidden gem among the oaks along thte Texas coast south of Rockport, By the Bay is an island of peaceful relaxation. It's a well established resort with large shade oaks throughout, roomy concrete rv pads, cottages, a motel, an activity hall, laundry, and showers. Everything is clean and the park is well maintained. Utilitities were reliable, cable TV was provided, and water pressure was good. Many of the rv pads have a patio extension and it looked like there were picnic tables at every pad and in front of every cottage.The cottages, judging by the one we stayed in, are roomy and well equipped with necesssities including a pod coffee maker, kitchen ware, TV, and robust air conditioner to keep you cool in the heat. There is no pool or playground, making this park more suitable for adults only, however, there is a shady fenced dog park those with furry companions. The activity hall has a large selection of books and cds, a TV, folding tables and chairs to support a variety of activities, and a well appointed card table. Best of all, BTB has a wonderful staff who are intent on making your stay as pleasant as possible. After staying a couple of months, we felt like we were leaving behind old friends when we moved on, and we wish them well. read more
