Memorial Day weekend is here — and if you’re standing at the crossroads of “should I book a few nights or just commit to the whole summer?”, this guide is for you. Crystal Beach and the Bolivar Peninsula are buzzing right now, and the RV parks along TX-87 are filling up fast. But not all parks are created equal, especially when you’re thinking beyond the long weekend and into a full summer monthly stay.
We’re breaking down how Beachside RV Park stacks up against the competition on Bolivar Peninsula — on price, amenities, and the things that actually matter when you’re living coastal for a month or more.
Most people treat Memorial Day as a 3-day trip. Smart RVers treat it as the starting line for summer. Here’s the math that makes a monthly stay the obvious move:
And unlike a hotel or vacation rental, your RV is your home — your kitchen, your bed, your space. A monthly stay at a full-hookup park like Beachside means you’re not just visiting Crystal Beach. You’re living there.
Located at 1280 TX-87, Crystal Beach, TX 77650, Beachside RV Park is purpose-built for monthly and extended stays. With 46 full-hookup sites and a contactless management model, it’s designed for guests who want a smooth, low-friction coastal living experience.
Every site features a 50/30/20 amp power pedestal, accommodating all RV types — travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes of all sizes. Sites are a mix of concrete, gravel, and grass, with many offering shade from mature trees — a serious bonus during Texas summers.

Let’s look at the real numbers. Here’s how Beachside’s summer monthly rate and amenity package compares to other Bolivar Peninsula RV parks:

|---|---|---|---|
| Beachside RV Park | $700–$725/mo | ✅ All included | 4.6 ⭐ |
| Lazy Pelican RV Park | $675/mo (summer) | Check with park | 4.8 ⭐ |
| Bolivar Peninsula RV Park | $550–$600/mo | Check with park | 4.4 ⭐ |
| Lazy D&D Resort | $576–$741/mo (summer) | Check with park | 4.4 ⭐ |
| Little Schipper’s RV Park | $675/mo + electric | ❌ Electric extra | 4.8 ⭐ |

Notice that some parks advertise a lower monthly rate — but add electricity on top. In a Texas summer, running your AC can easily add $150–$300/month to your electric bill. When you factor that in, Beachside’s all-inclusive $700–$725/month rate becomes one of the most competitive on the peninsula.
Little Schipper’s, for example, charges $675/month plus electric. Paula’s Vineyard is $450/month plus electric. Once you add summer AC costs, you’re often paying more than Beachside’s flat rate — without the same amenity package.
Price is only part of the story. Here’s what you get at Beachside that you won’t find bundled together anywhere else on Bolivar Peninsula:
Beachside has one of the largest dedicated, fenced dog parks on the peninsula — complete with waste bag stations. If you’re traveling with pets (up to 2 per reservation), this is a game-changer for daily life. Your dogs get to run. You get peace of mind.
The Gulf of Mexico is steps away. After a beach day, rinse off at the on-site outdoor shower before heading back to your rig. No driving, no parking hassles — just walk out and walk back.
Beachside offers 36 on-site storage units in multiple sizes (9×9, 12×12, 12×25, and 12×35), with the majority being the larger 12×25 and 12×35 units. Monthly rates start at $95/month for a 12×12 and go up to $165/month for a 12×35. This is a rare amenity at an RV park — perfect for storing gear, a boat, tools, or seasonal items right where you live.
Both are included. No coin slots, no separate WiFi plans. For remote workers, digital nomads, or anyone doing a long-term coastal stay, this matters every single day.
Multiple gazebos with seating give you shaded outdoor space to relax, socialize, or work outside without baking in the Texas sun.
Beachside operates on a contactless model — no on-site manager hovering around, but a camp host is present to assist when needed. Reservations, changes, and support are handled by phone, text, email, or online. It’s a modern, low-friction way to run a park, and guests consistently appreciate the flexibility.
The Galveston area and Bolivar Peninsula have a steady demand for skilled tradespeople, construction crews, and contract workers. Beachside’s monthly rates, all-inclusive utilities, free WiFi, and on-site laundry make it one of the most practical workforce housing options on the coast. No lease, no deposit headaches — just a monthly rate that covers everything.
Why rent a beach house when you can bring your own? A monthly stay at Beachside puts you walking distance from the Gulf for the entire summer — at a fraction of the cost of a vacation rental. Bring the family, bring the dogs, and settle in.
Full-timers know the value of a park that’s built for long stays. Beachside’s individual water and sewer hookups, 50-amp power, free laundry, and on-site storage make it a legitimate home base — not just a stopover.
If you wintered on the Texas coast and you’re not ready to head north yet, Beachside’s summer rates kick in at $700–$725/month — still a strong value for a full-hookup, all-inclusive beachside site.
Memorial Day weekend is the busiest booking weekend of the year for Gulf Coast RV parks. Sites fill up fast — especially monthly sites, which are limited. If you’re considering a summer stay on Bolivar Peninsula, this weekend is the time to act.
Here’s how to get started:
Note on RV age policy: RVs 10 years or older require approval — simply submit an exterior photo when you inquire. The process is quick and contactless.
When you compare the full picture — all-inclusive rates, free WiFi, free laundry, a large fenced dog park, on-site storage, beach walking distance, and a contactless management model — Beachside RV Park is the strongest value for a summer monthly stay on Bolivar Peninsula.
The parks with lower advertised rates often charge extra for electricity, which erases the savings fast in a Texas summer. Beachside’s flat monthly rate covers everything, so you know exactly what you’re paying — and you can focus on enjoying the coast.
This Memorial Day, don’t just visit Crystal Beach. Live there.
