Amenities
You will love your stay at Copano Bay RV Resort in Rockport, Texas. The resort, which has on-site managers, prides itself on the professionalism of its friendly staff and the cleanliness of the grounds.

Salt Lake and Copano Bay
One of the most popular features of the resort is access to the bay. Anglers gather on the fishing pier (which has plenty of lights for night fishing) and, more often than not, catch dinner for themselves.
An onsite fish cleaning station makes it easy to prepare your catch for cooking. You can then just take the day’s catch and cook it up on the grill in the covered picnic pavilion.
Guests can launch canoes and kayaks into Salt Lake without leaving the property. After a great day exploring the area, you will want to take a refreshing swim in the pool and watch the sun set over the lake.
Activities
Guests can keep up with their exercise routine in the onsite fitness center. Community bikes are available to use at no cost, and guests can compete in a game of cornhole.
For those who want to spend some time indoors, there is a clubhouse outfitted with a full kitchen, a game room with a pool table, a library, and some card tables. Your four-legged friends aren’t left out; they have their own fenced-in park and a dog wash too.
RV sites and amenities
All the resort’s streets and RV sites are made of concrete. All sites offer full hookups (with 30/50 amp electric, water, and sewer), and fire pits. You can choose from standard, premium, and super premium sites.
For guests’ convenience, there are onsite trash dumpsters, restrooms, private showers, and a temperature-controlled laundry facility with eight washing machines and eight dryers. The resort office also has 10-pound bags of ice for sale and a business center for guests to use.
Traveling with friends or family that don’t have an RV? They can still stay at the campground in one of the rental cabins. Both one-bedroom and two-bedroom cabins are available for rent.

Campground reviews
Copano Bay RV Resort has a great 7.8/10 average rating on RV LIFE Campgrounds. According to one reviewer,
“This is a lovely RV resort on the bay. Beautiful sunset views, level concrete sites, clean restrooms, clean and well maintained laundry, and great clubhouse. They have just the right amount of activities, and provide bicycles to ride. It is close to downtown Rockport, shopping, and restaurants. The RV resort is well maintained; additionally, they continually make upgrades to the site.
What sets this RV resort apart from the rest? The staff! They are awesome! We camped at Copano Bay RV Resort in a motorhome.”

Rockport
Travel to downtown Rockport, where you will find numerous shopping opportunities. Most of the stores (such as Coast & Cottage and Goin’ Coastal Outfitters) are locally owned, so you can get some unique items and help out the local economy.

Be sure to check out Rockport Beach and all it has to offer visitors. It is the state’s first “Blue Wave” beach, which means it is exceptionally clean and sustainable.
While on the mile-long beach, you can play beach sports, look for hermit crabs, splash around in the water, or simply relax on the beach or in a cabana. Rockport Beach also has boat ramps and restrooms/changing rooms.
Corpus Christi
You might expect the “Sparkling City by the Sea” to focus exclusively on their coastline and beaches. While their beaches and surfing opportunities are amazing, there are plenty of non-saltwater activities for everyone to enjoy.

The Texas State Aquarium is a must-see while in Corpus Christi. Popular exhibits include the Living Shores Exhibit (showcasing the inhabitants of Laguna Madre), the touch pool, the Floating Phantoms (jellyfish and sea nettles), and the 400,000-gallon Dolphin Bay (featuring Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins).
The Hawn Wild Flight Theater showcases birds of prey, while the Flower Gardens has coral reefs. Kids will love the splash park, fossil dig site, and chances to interact with animals.
Museums
There are plenty of museums to visit while in Corpus Christi. You can’t go wrong with the Selena Museum (honoring the life and music of Tejano sensation Selena Quintanilla-Perez), the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History (almost 100,000 square feet of history-related displays and exhibits), the Art Museum of South Texas (two buildings filled with almost 1,900 works of art), and the Texas Surf Museum (shining a light on the history of sport in Texas).
