One of the most important things to understand when comparing RV parks on Bolivar Peninsula is what’s actually included in the rate. At several competing parks, electricity is billed separately — meaning your monthly cost is the listed rate plus your actual power usage. At Beachside, everything is bundled.
Every site at Beachside RV Park includes:
No utility surprises. No separate electric bills. What you see is what you pay.
The park offers 46 full hookup RV sites with a mix of concrete, gravel, and grass pads. Many sites sit under mature shade trees — a genuine comfort during Texas summers. The park accommodates all standard RV types: travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes of all sizes.
Here’s the current rate structure for summer 2026:
| Stay Type | Rate |

| Weekly | $275/week |

Move-In Special: First month available at $500 for qualifying guests. Inquire directly when booking to ask about current availability of this offer.
When you factor in that electricity, water, sewer, WiFi, laundry, and trash are all included, the monthly rate becomes one of the most competitive all-in values on the peninsula.

Rate comparisons only tell part of the story. Here’s what sets Beachside apart beyond the price tag:
Beachside RV Park is intentionally designed around longer stays. The park attracts a specific mix of guests who value the combination of beach access, all-inclusive pricing, and a quiet, respectful atmosphere:
The Bolivar Peninsula and greater Galveston area support a significant workforce in marine industries, construction, energy, and coastal services. Monthly RV living at Beachside offers a practical, affordable housing alternative — especially for workers who want to avoid long commutes from inland areas. All utilities included means predictable monthly costs, and the contactless management model means no friction with check-ins or office hours.
Reliable WiFi is included at every site. For remote workers who want to trade a city apartment for a beach lifestyle without sacrificing connectivity, Beachside delivers. Work from your rig in the morning, walk to the beach in the afternoon.
While the park’s winter rates ($500/month, all utilities included) make it a strong snowbird destination, summer monthly guests are equally welcome. Many guests who discover the park during a holiday weekend like July 4th end up booking a full month to extend the experience.
The park’s quiet hours policy and respectful atmosphere make it a good fit for families who want a beach vacation without the chaos of a party-focused campground. The dog park, gazebos, and beach proximity create a complete family-friendly environment.
Here’s a scenario worth considering. If you’re booking a July 4th holiday stay at $90/night for 3 nights, that’s $270 for the weekend. A full week runs $275. And a full month — with all utilities, WiFi, laundry, and trash included — is $700.
For guests who find themselves not wanting to leave after the holiday weekend (it happens more than you’d think on Bolivar Peninsula), the jump from a short stay to a monthly commitment is a straightforward value calculation. You get the beach lifestyle, the community, and the convenience — all at a rate that’s competitive with or better than comparable parks when you factor in what’s included.
Ask about the Move-In Special when you book: first month available at $500 for qualifying guests.

July 4th on Bolivar Peninsula is a reminder of what makes the Texas Gulf Coast special — open beach, Gulf breezes, fireworks over the water, and a community that knows how to celebrate. Beachside RV Park sits right in the middle of all of it, offering a base camp that works equally well for a holiday weekend or a full summer stay.
With all utilities included, on-site storage, a large dog park, free laundry, and a contactless management model that respects your time, Beachside delivers a complete coastal living experience at a competitive all-in monthly rate.
