Weekend Trip to Adventure Bay Private RV Campsite

We had a great time at Titus’ waterfront lot! The setting is great (right on Copano Bay) and the utilities are all in place for a super simple and relaxing time. The check in instructions were very clear and Titus was a great communicator. I would recommend booking this private waterfront lot and we would certainly consider coming back.

Weekend Trip to North South Padre Island Paradise

John was an amazing host. This is just what we were looking for, a quick 5 min drive to the beach, no sand in the travel trailer, and access to a pool. Just a heads up, the connection for the electric is in the garage and the sewer hook up and water are on the entry side to the rear of the trailer which was no problem for us,. we have a 22’ RPod 192. Our 20’ sewer, 25” fresh water hose and 25” electrical cord was just perfect in reaching the connections, just be aware that you may need longer accessories if your trailer is larger than ours. I highly recommend John’s spot.

We booked this site at the last minute, so we're very thankful that it was available. We absolutely loved having our own quiet campsite right on the water! Our teenage son fished for hours; he loved night fishing the best. We had a few questions and messaged Titus, he was swift to respond. We will definitely be booking again in the future.

John, Thank you so much for being the perfect host! My husband and I truly enjoyed ourselves. From walking on the beach to Kayaking the channel, we also really loved swimming in your pool every evening until dark to watch the stars. Honestly your beautiful place had it all! Thank you for the recommendations for the best fishing spots. The locals always know the best places… The neighborhood is really nice. Next time we will bring our bikes. Pros; quiet, beautiful and tons of things to do Cons; we had to leave😢 Thank you John for your hospitality and we will definitely be back! Michael and Shannon

Spot has epic sunsets, peaceful and quiet, and some curious ducks. We have a 31 ft bumper-pull, and we were able to swing it in, but a shorter rig or a fifth wheel (or a better driver than me) might be able to align better. It's in a neighborhood but still feels private.

Thank you John for a wonderful fun stay. We parked our camper and enjoyed the backyard with pool, hot tub, fishing on the canal, sunset/views deck, grilling - lots of sitting areas. It was a beautiful two nights stay. Kayaking will have to do next time we just ran out of time lol. Beach very close. Our hoses did not reach to dump camper but no big deal we dumped at the state park nearby. So full hookup. We will visit again. Don’t know about WiFi did not need it. Enjoy I highly recommend specially the price.
