Luxury, shorts-weather and VIEWS in Corpus Christi

The beautiful KOA (Kampgrounds of America) campground on Laguna Madre, in Corpus Christi, Texas is the top campground we have visited thus far.  Sadly, we once again arrived after sunset and had to set up in the dark; we missed a turn and had to double-back, putting us at a late arrival.  But we awoke the next day to our beautiful view of the water. In the 4 days that we were at the KOA Campground, we took advantage of the pool area on two occasions.  The pool was heated and lounge chairs were available (though these were not very comfortable).  This was our first campground where we got to wear shorts every day! The weather was sunny and warm (although a bit windy).  We did not miss the cold weather currently in NYC.

There was a convenience store located at the campground, where we were able to buy beer and wine.  They also sold frozen margaritas and jello shots (we had a few).  In addition, there was another convenience store located within walking distance.  There was also a bar located within walking distance of the campground that other reviewers had raved about, but we didn't take advantage of the bar on this trip.

  

DID we say that it was SHORTS weather?!?!

Review of KOA Campground in Corpus Christi, Texas

Corpus Christi KOA Journey opened in 2020 but is so well maintained that it feels like it is brand new.  Almost all of the sites backup to water views with large palm trees.  The campground has full hook-ups, Wi-Fi, cable, level concrete sites, and daily trash pickup.  The  playground, heated pool, and convenience store were first-rate.  In addition, the park has kayak rentals, a game room, boat slips, and a covered overwater deck; although, we did not take advantage of these amenities.  But we did take advantage of the waterside sandy beach!  The showers and laundry were so good that Pat took pictures (Tim was not thrilled to post those, LOL); however, the laundry was a little more pricey than other places.

One of our big issues with this campground is that it is not within walking distance to any restaurants.  It is our own choice to travel without a car but we spent most of our time on the KOA property.  As mentioned before, there was a convenience store (with much better prices than the KOA shop) within walking distance, and a bar that we planned to visit but never did.  The prices were our only issue with the KOA shop.  It had a lot more RV accessories and souvenirs than groceries, but when you have jello shots and frozen Margaritas, all is forgiven.

We will definitely be back to this campground again!
