RV Rental Lake Corpus Christi State Park, TX

The outdoors, which are one of the major attractions at the park, are easy to enjoy and even easier to access when you are RV camping at Lake Corpus Christi State Park. The lake, which is one of the dominating features of the park, is wonderful to enjoy during hot summer weather. Guests can swim at their own risk since there is no lifeguard on duty. They can also paddleboard, fish, boat, water ski, and more. There are beaches surrounding the lake in many locations, so a relaxing day in the sand is possible while your family enjoys the water.

Fishing is a very popular activity on the lake, and with many options, guests should have no trouble finding a good spot to fish from. When you are motorhome camping in the area, and you bring your fishing gear, there are two different fishing piers to make casting easy and fun. The lake, which is over 18,000 surface acres, is home to both largemouth and white bass, crappie, many varieties of catfish, and even bluegill and sunfish. Nearby to the fishing piers are fish cleaning stations, making it easy to have dinner ready to cook before you head back to your rental RV.

Hiking is a popular activity at Lake Corpus Christi State Park, and with many miles of trails available for guests to use, there are many routes to take to keep things fresh.

Throughout the history of the park over 200 different species of bird have been spotted, so be sure to bring your binoculars.

There are a variety of different types of RV sites to choose from when you are camping with an RV. There are 26 main RV sites that have water, electricity, and sewage hookup, and many of these sites are pull-through accessible too. Other sites can accommodate RVs but are more limited in the amenities they offer, sometimes either offering only electricity or water, depending on the site itself. All sites, however, have a fire ring with a grill and a picnic table to make staying there more pleasant.

The campsite has many shared amenities that guests can use to enhance their stay, including a set of toilets that have flushing capabilities and a shower facility that has both hot and cold water. There are a few different camping loops to pick from during your stay, and there aren’t any major differences between them. Nearly all of the campsites are surrounded by a decent amount of trees and bushes for privacy, and all of them have easy access to shared amenities.

Being so near to Corpus Christi, is a huge perk for this state park, and when you are renting an RV to explore the area, you won’t be disappointed.

Also in Corpus Christi is the Hurricane Alley Waterpark, which is conveniently located near the Gulf of Mexico.
