Guide Review - South Padre Island KOA

South Padre Island KOA is one of three RV parks on South Padre Island. However, the KOA offers more onsite amenities than the other two combined. And, it's serene waterfront setting makes it an ideal place for families to spend their South Padre Island vacation.

In addition to clean, modern RV sites, the park also boasts several condominiums and a row of waterfront cabins for rent. Additionally, the onsite amenities, which include a swimming pool, playground, fishing pier, restaurant, boat launch and charter fishing boats, makes the park virtually self-contained.

However, anyone heading to South Padre is certainly going to want to take time out to tour the Island. And, KOA's location on the southern end of SPI makes it the perfect launching point for just such a tour.

Families heading to South Padre in the summer months will be thrilled to learn the KOA is located just across the street from Schlitterbahn Beach Waterpark. And, the KOA is within walking distance of Isla Blanca Park, which offers wonderful beach access.

Without a doubt, anyone looking to 'get away from it all' and relax on South Padre Island should consider staying at the South Padre Island KOA. Whether in an RV or in one of the rental cabins, visitors can be assured they have the best South Padre has to offer right at their doorstep.
