Jamaica Beach RV Resort

"Stars Above" as my mother used to say, this is a great RV resort. Easy beach access to a clean public beach, a neat putt-putt course at the resort, a great lazy river, and a staff as friendly and helpful as we Texans expect. Galveston has interesting things downtown to visit (junky shops, pubs, eateries), but just 16 miles from downtown's crowds is Jamaica Beach: Great vacation combo!

Great park lots of activities with nice mix for kids and retirees. I stayed during spring break and it was busy but never felt over crowded or loud. The staff are wonderful

Our first visit to the Galveston area. We really enjoyed everything about our stay from the lazy river to the easy access to the beach. one of the owners was working the lazy river and was a real pleasure to talk to, she seemed to really want to make sure everyone was having a good time. The facilities were well kept and there is certainly plenty to do. It was a little tight getting in and out with a 42 foot MH, but we made it without running over anything lol . We will definitely be back.

Quiet, walking distance from Gulf of Mexico, beautiful Caribbean setting on mini golf and at the SPA house. We loved the stay of 3 nights here.

Very nice Park. Well maintained and friendly staff. The one BIG DRAWBACK are the sites. I have ran across this at several other parks too. But, the Utilities are to the FAR Rear of the Spaces, NOT in the middle, like they should be. So, they lose one star for poor design. You basically need extensions for your sewer and water lines. Whereas normal, properly designed parks have their utility hookups close to the middle of the RV. So, make sure if you are staying at this Park to have extensions for your power, sewer and water. And one final thought, the Park is 13 miles from Galveston, making it a long drive each way to get to the Restaurants and Galveston Activities. But, it is a Nice Park.

As new RVers, Jamaica Beach was our first stop on our RV journey. We are afraid this park has spoiled us, it was perfect! The staff was very hospitable, the park was very clean and there was so much to do on grounds. We definitely recommend this park whether you are retired like us or if you have kids.

Average at best not the perfect score Good Sam gives this park. We arrived mid January not peak season I admit but with a few days of rain the camp sites where like little islands surrounded by water. The grass area's are much lower then the concrete pads thus filling with water 3-4" deep and taking a week to dry out. The pools and hot tub are not maintained for winter use at all. They ran out of propane during a winter cold snap that left customers scrambling to find refill stations to maintain heat. I believe this park caters to the summer younger crowd and not the older winter campers.

We booked this RV park after reading multiple reviews on a Facebook site about how great it is only to be disappointed. First of all, we came late afternoon on a Friday and there was a line of vehicles and campers all the way onto the highway waiting to check in. When I got to the front of the line about 45 min later and informed the front desk person of that she said if we knew our site # we could have just set up then walked back to the office. I told her maybe she should tell the others that because there's no sign stating it. We were placed in the new section in the back that was level and easy to get in to but there were no trees and not much space between sites. We took a stroll around the place to check it out and see what was so great about it. The deeper swimming pool was OK and there was a shaded area with ping pong and picnic tables. The splash pad was better than nothing but of the 4 or so spray guns maybe one worked. The playground next to it was like splinter heaven and looked like it was ready to fall over and not safe to play on (supposedly since we stayed it has been replaced). The lagoon style pool was really nice looking and had nice palm trees but some of the furniture was tearing apart. The pond was over grown and the putt putt course was also overgrown and all of the water features on it were full of moss and slime and smelled bad. The bathrooms/showers were nice and were air conditioned. The fishing pond was through a field that you had to climb a fence to get to and was really overgrown. The beach was a few hundred feet down the highway and was unsafe walking on the shoulder with young kids. As far as the lazy river, they have been saying for a year that it is almost completed and guess what...still almost completed! (finally completed June 2017) For the price I would stay somewhere else.

Was surprised that this facility was not really worth a 10-10-10 rating from Good Sam. Restrooms were horrible! Dark, dank, smelly and dirty! The lazy river is not complete and doesn't really look like it will be up and running any time soon. Very disappointing!

We just bought our used RV and this was our first experience ever with an rv park. The park was clean and well maintained but the roads were a little tight for our 39' rig. Our site was nice and quiet and we were where we wanted to be within the park. They advertise their "Lazy River" on the web site, but it's still under construction. Overall, a great time for our first experience.
