Employees at the RV park were all very nice. It's also pet friendly. We loved camping within walking distance from the beach and the bar and grill which has live music at night Thursday through Saturday. It was also awesome that we could leave our tent set up on the beach to save our spot each day!

Great experience here. Both pools are very nice. Not much service at the main pool one day and…read moregreat service the next. You can bring a cooler with non alcoholic beverages into the main pool area and you can take whatever you want (booze included) in to the lazy river pool area. The water in the main pool is COLD - at least on our visit...but our high temps were also around 85 with intermittent rain. $10 per person to get your arm band that is good throughout your stay. I didn't love having to wear one and I think a card of some sort would be preferred but in the end it's not a big deal. The beach was not my thing. Very rough and murky during our time. Nice enough sand but we traveled to Alabama the last 2 years and beaches there are much better. This place is 20ish minutes past the Galveston sea wall area so know that and plan for it in regards to groceries and other needs. Keep in mind...you are renting from individuals...so anything you read about carpet, cleanliness, etc is a reflection of the owners. Our unit was great and our elevator worked great too.

Great place for sure lots of activities great beach access and our stay was great no issues. The…read moreonly thing is the restaurant hours every time I would check on their online web page it says sold out so you can never order food online at anytime you check. Make sure you bring plenty of groceries with you and store in the fridge because it's on the far west end not much access to restaurants or grocery stores takes about 20 or so min to get to a Walmart. Other than that great service.

Our family needed a getaway from our home in Seattle, Washington when good friends pointed us to…read more"Holy Mackerel."As someone who is more a mountain person than a beach person, I didn't know what we should expect, but as we arrived, we were instantly excited to spend a few days at the house! The house itself was welcoming and comfortable from the moment we walked in and the view of the water was a constant treat. We didn't understand how much the close proximity to the beach would shape our time at the house. Since it was so easy to get to the beach and into the water, we relaxed in the surf much more than we expected to. The key words there are "relaxed...more than we expected"! Our first night, as we settled in and noticed the unexpected amenities, we remarked to ourselves, "They thought of everything!" Our older daughter- who is an avid reader- loved the little touches like the reading lights connected to the bunk beds. Frankly, we are not used to being so well taken care of! Our family got to create some easy and meaningful memories during our time at the house. From dinner and games around the family-sized table to quiet moments of reading and reflection on the Adirondack-type chairs on the porches, there are many moments that we will look back on as special times in our lives together as a family. In the background of each of those moments was the thoughtfulness of the hosts who put the house together in such a way that we simply just enjoyed ourselves! We would definitely love to stay at Holy Mackerel again and we highly recommend the house for anyone who wants to enjoy simple comforts and drink deeply of the culture of the Gulf coast.

We've stayed at Galveston Island KOA Holiday for the past two years, and I want to share an honest…read moreexperience for anyone considering a stay. First, the positives: this is a beautiful campground with great amenities. The pool, hot tub, and lazy river are fantastic, and many of the staff members are friendly, helpful, and genuinely care about guests. Galveston itself offers so much to do--we especially loved spending time on The Strand and exploring the area. Unfortunately, the biggest issue is the management, which significantly impacts the overall experience. The park manager is unapproachable and runs the campground in a way that feels more focused on control and extra charges than guest satisfaction. Fees are added for things like early arrival, and communication often feels excessive and negative rather than helpful. While guests receive multiple daily texts about activities, we also received messages about things like dog waste in washing machines and stolen cleaning wipes--issues that could have been handled more professionally. There were also ongoing maintenance concerns both years we stayed. We experienced multiple days without water due to plumbing issues, and during our second year, the park was down to a single bathroom because of structural damage. We were told portable restrooms were coming, but they never arrived. Activities were amazing our first year, but the second year saw frequent cancellations. Even simple guest comfort requests--like putting down pavilion sides to block strong wind--were denied, despite those same features being used for staff events. Another concern is how complaints are handled. When an inappropriate interaction with a staff member was reported, there was no management available, and no follow-up from the manager afterward. That lack of accountability was disappointing. It's also worth noting that feedback appears to be filtered internally, meaning corporate oversight may not be getting the full picture. We also noticed an increase in police and emergency presence during our second stay, along with a shift in the overall campground atmosphere. To be clear, this could be one of the best campgrounds in the area--it has all the right ingredients. But until there is more professional, guest-focused management and accountability, it's hard to justify returning. #KOA #KOACamping #GalvestonTX #RVLife #CampgroundReview #RVTravel #FullTimeRV #RVLiving #CampingLife #TravelTexas #HonestReview #CustomerExperience #RVCommunity #CampgroundLife #TravelReview #ExploreTexas #RVAdventures

There is no house currently in front of it, so you can sit on your balcony and watch the Gulf and feel the breeze. Because of it's location, you don't have to fight with the hustle and bustle of Galveston during the summer. As a fisherman, you can fish right out in front of the house if you are up with fighting strong currents, and climbing over rocks. There seems to be a deep hole that boats crowd around early in the morning, in which they seem to be catching loads of speckled trout. Beach access is just down the road from the house with a little bridge to cross. You can also drive on the beach roughly 2 miles down, or head to the bay side in that same location. Don't forget, you are nearly on San Luis pass, so that's always an option, and there is a bait shop right there. There is a great chance that we will return to this house next year, or possibly try out one of the owners other locations.
