Jamaica Beach RV Resort, November 21, 2017 to January 21, 2018

This is the second stay for us at this RV Park. Below is a short wrap up of our 2-month stay. For a more detailed review, see windsofdestiny-rvlife.blogspot.com/2015/04/jamaica-beach-rv-park-32015-to-42515the.html.


Rating:  5 on a scale of 5

Location: The park is located about 12 miles west of Galveston on San Luis Pass Road. We also enjoyed exploring the west end of Galveston Island during this visit. The beach is within walking distance. Also, it is a short drive (or long walk) to Nate’s West End Seafood Restaurant and a market/gas station. For major grocery shopping trips, we went to Kroger’s in Galveston.

Lot size: We had a paved, pull-through, full hook up site, located near the dog park. We had plenty of room for our RV, tow dolly, and car. There were also several palm trees, grassy area, and picnic table on a concrete slab. 

Amenities: This RV park has loads of amenities (pools, spas, really nice miniature golf course, and more). Wifi is very slow (barely usable), but cable TV is provided. We had lots of cold/rainy days during our stay this time, and a free DVD-lending library was great. New this time is the Lazy River water feature (although it was too cold to use during our stay). Propane is also sold here; one of the few places on the island to get it. 

Cost: $655/month

Management: The folks that run this place are great; always helpful and friendly. We received lots of Amazon packages and mail during our stay (due to the holidays) which is no problem at this park. Activities are planned for guests, although we did not participate in them since we were close to our daughter who lives in Houston. We spent time socializing with her instead.

General Comments: The one thing I do not like about this location is that the weather can be very windy. And, this year, it was much colder (a few nights in the high 20s) than we prefer.  It even snowed here, a very unusual event for the region! We were thrilled to see the African tortoises here (Mr. and Mrs. Humphrey) again. They have produced offspring on multiple occasions, although they usually hang out in their burrow. Their fenced area is on the miniature golf course (which we played many times!) 



There are lots of RV parks in the area, but we really like this one.
