My family and I shared many great memories at Mustang Island State Park…read more My daughters finally got to share in the experience too back in June 2025. They loved how warm the water was! Camping isn't free to my knowledge, but day use fees are not applied in most stretches of the island. I'll never forget our last summer (June 2025) vacation day when I reminded my girls to try to remain calm and not thrash around if they see a shark. They boogie boarded and swam for a couple of hours. Then about 150 yards away, the fishermen reeled in a couple of juvenile sharks. They took pictures then released them properly back into the ocean. My family acted as though sharks were a new phenomenon. A star knocked off because I was just taken aback by how trashy Texans and tourists have gotten. It didn't seem this bad when I was much younger. I picked up a full trash bag's worth walking up and down our area alone. Let's do better... tell your group to pick up too. Wildlife deserves to search for food and shelter garbage free.

We've found…read morePadre Balli park isn't as crowded as others, and if you park by the pier (currently being restored from Hurricane Hannah), you can walk to the showers (rinse only - no soap or conditioner). Lots of people bring canopies, and we saw some that had bag holders for the canopies so your beach bag isn't full of sand on the bottom. We'd also advise a picnic/outdoor blanket to set stuff on and cup holders that go into the sand to hold your beverage. It's fun to watch the local surf school give lessons, and there are lots of locals/families.

We visit Corpus Christ/Padre island about 15 times a year for fishing. First time at Firefly, Mon…read moreto Thurs. We love the place, it is by far the cleanest and quietest park in the Corpus Christi area and much more secure than for example, the county RV parks. (We've had our car broken into twice). We had no problems with the facilities, WiFi or hookups. The pool was excellent and the laundry/bathroom area spotless with modern machines. There is no traffic driving thru the park or non-visitors using the pool or pier. The staff was friendly and helpful and really kept a close eye on the park. I do have one quibble that is my own fault, I did not pay attention to the pad sizes when registering. A couple of them are really small and our camper was a pretty tight fit. I took note of which sites would be better for next time. (Yes, there will be a next time, Firefly is heads above every other nearby park) Just a note, a lot of the other reviews mention smell. It's on a saltwater lagoon, folks. A miles wide tidal flat. It's going to have an odor. Myself, I grew up locally and it's a non-issue. I think the reviews incredibly overstate the problem and honestly, sound overly whiny and suspiciously coached.

When we checked in we found out that our cabin did not have a parking space near our unit. It was located 75 yards away. Then we did not have a thrash can in the bathroom. No Kleenex and only 2 wash cloths. The lady in the office said to walk up two flights of stairs to the office and exchange for clean ones. I made a trip to Walmart and bought a small trash can and Kleenex and some cheap wash cloths. You get texts reminding you if you have guests they must register and pay as well as other rules. As I write this we are one of 4 spots occupied out of 26. But I got a call from the office to move my car. DON'T STAY HERE!

Sunset Ridge has some really nice and large concrete sites to park your rig, vehicles, boats, and…read moreeverything else you might bring along. The concrete streets are wider than average and make backing into your site a breeze. The grass around the sites is unbelievably lush and apparently watered by an underground seepage system that keeps the grass in good health. The grounds are maintained on a daily basis to keep everything trimmed to perfection. These are the highlights of our findings during our 9 week stay: - The pool is heated and hot tub worked most of our stay. It was still broken when we left. - The office/clubhouse is perpetually "coming soon", although they have no construction plans currently to build one. The office is located inside of a shipping container. - They sometimes erect a tent for gatherings, but stated they get destroyed by high winds on a regular basis. - They held potluck dinners in the fitness room during our stay, due to lack of any other facilities. - We were warned of past thefts when we arrived. Two thefts occurred on separate occasions during our stay and the "resort" sent out text messages to residents with tips from the local police department. - Stray dogs regularly roam the grounds. - There is no street lighting and building exterior lighting is off during most of the dark hours. Flashlights or headlamps are advised after dark. - Lawn maintenance is a constant irritant at the sites. It happens 6 days of the week, with 3-5 days that they would come through our site EACH WEEK. - The building is surrounded by SANDBURS. We picked them out of our shoes on a daily basis. - The air often smelled like sewer gas, most likely due to the nearby tidal basin. - Showers/restrooms are cleaned once a week, according to the manager. Daily would be more appropriate. - The high-speed internet located at each site was good. However, they don't provide a Wi-Fi Hotspot for use when away from your site (e.g. in fitness room). - They say Corpus Christi is the windiest city in the United States. We no longer doubt that statement. - While it is promoted as a "resort", it felt more like an RV park by the end of our stay there. Many "resort" amenities are perpetually "coming soon".

They were respectful, apologetic, and gave clear examples of how they were intending to fix the issues we experienced. No one is perfect, the best that we can expect is that when something inevitably goes wrong, that the company does its best to fix the problem. I personally would still be hesitant to stay at this park because of my negative experience. But if the main management​ is able to fix the issues we experienced, our stay would have been quite pleasant otherwise. And top-level​ management definitely takes great pride in their parks and seems to be striving to fix the issues, so you may very well have better luck during​ your stay.
