This place is nothing fancy but it has a fabulous location with a boardwalk to an endless beach for walking, riding your bike, letting your dog run free. We stayed for a week and enjoyed it as a home base for Corpus Christi, Rockport, but Mustang Island is great and we didn't really want to leave. But onward to Galveston.

The park is very well maintained, bathrooms are clean, and rec hall offers lots of options. Boardwalk to the beach and dog park are great. No recycling except aluminum cans :-(. If you go when the park is not full then the wifi service is adequate but when the park is full, it is horrible. Had to go to Dairy... More

This resort has it all: proximity to the beach, a good shower set up, fine electricity/water/sewer hook ups and non RV cottages. However, the propane was not available on a very cold snap and the internet capacity did not meet the demands for the numbers of RVers in the park. It was slow and unusable and marginal during the wee... More

Quick review-Just returned as a guest from a 4 night stay at this beach resort and rv park-the amenities, staff, maintenance, etc seem top notch. Private boardwalk to the beach. WiFi connection was a bit iffy I think due to the weather. Come prepared for the tiny sugar ants that seem to invade every crevice of an RV-we kept on... More

Like the title says, are you looking for full hook-ups, two pools, 66+ cable clear cable channels, everything clean and well kept?? This is it. Internet access is pretty good, they have 5 or 6 towers to connect. We've stayed here a couple of times before. We always have our golf cart as Pioneer has a boardwalk directly to the... More

I will start this review by saying that I stayed 5 days here with a friend who had rented an RV space for the month of June, so I cannot comment on checking in, etc. since she was already in and set up by the time I arrived. This review is based solely as a guest of her RV. The... More

We are staying two weeks and are happy with everything here. The staff has been nice and very helpful. We will definitely come back. The place is quiet and very secure.

We love this RV park. It's just over the dunes from the ocean, with a nice boardwalk to get there easily. The sites are spacious and clean, beautifully laid out. The roads are well paved. The restrooms are spotless. The laundry room is a bit too small for the size of the park, but ok. There is are nice pools... More

Previous to this April 2012 trip, the last time we visited Pioneer was 2003. I would have expected some wear-and-tear after a 9-year absence, but I didn't see any! The staff works non-stop to keep the place looking like new, but they still manage time for a friendly wave as the customers walk/bike/drive by. Two pools and a hot tub,... More
