Spring in the Texas Coastal Bend is one of the most exciting times of year for anglers — and if you’re looking for an RV park near Corpus Christi that puts you right in the middle of the action, Portland RV Park is your base camp. Located at 601 US-181 in Portland, TX, this quiet, full-hookup RV park sits just minutes from some of the best fishing waters in South Texas. Whether you’re chasing redfish on the flats, targeting speckled trout in the bay, or planning to hit one of the many Corpus Christi fishing tournaments happening this May, Portland RV Park gives you a comfortable, affordable place to park your rig and fish hard all season long.
May is widely considered one of the top months to fish the Corpus Christi and Portland area. Water temperatures rise into the ideal range for the “Big Three” — Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Black Drum — and the bays come alive with activity. The shallow flats around Corpus Christi Bay, Nueces Bay, and the surrounding waters offer world-class wade fishing and kayak fishing opportunities that draw anglers from across Texas and beyond.
May 2026 is especially packed with fishing events in the Coastal Bend:
With so much happening on the water, having a reliable, affordable RV site close to the action isn’t just convenient — it’s essential. Portland RV Park puts you within easy reach of all of it.
Portland RV Park is positioned right along US-181, the main corridor connecting Portland and Corpus Christi. This location gives anglers fast, direct access to the bay, local marinas, fishing piers, and bait shops without fighting through heavy city traffic. The park itself sits in a quiet, waterfront-adjacent setting — perfect for early morning departures when the fish are biting.
One of the park’s most popular features for fishing guests is the new city fishing pier located just down the street on the same side of US-181. You can walk or drive to it in minutes, making it one of the most convenient shore fishing spots in the area. Whether you’re a seasoned tournament angler or a weekend warrior looking to wet a line, having a pier this close to your campsite is a serious advantage.
Staying at Portland RV Park puts you within easy reach of some of the most productive fishing locations in the Coastal Bend:
Spring in the Coastal Bend isn’t just about fishing — though it’s hard to argue with the action this time of year. When you’re ready to take a break from the water, the Portland and Corpus Christi area offers plenty of ways to spend your time:
If you’re planning to fish multiple tournaments this spring or simply want to spend a few weeks exploring the Coastal Bend, Portland RV Park’s extended stay rates make it easy to stay longer without breaking the bank. All utilities are included in every rate — no surprise electricity bills, no add-on fees for water or sewer.
Current Rates at Portland RV Park:
For anglers planning to stay through the heart of tournament season — May through June — the monthly rate at $600 all-in is an exceptional value. Compare that to hotel rates in Corpus Christi or even other RV parks in the area where electricity is billed separately, and the savings add up fast. You get a stable, full-hookup site with bay views, free WiFi to upload your catch photos, and a quiet environment to rest up between fishing days.
The park operates on a contactless model, meaning there’s no office check-in hassle. Reservations are handled online, by phone, or by text — making it easy to book from the road or while you’re still planning your trip.
Fishing trips and dogs go hand in hand for a lot of RV travelers. Portland RV Park is pet friendly, allowing up to 2 pets per reservation. The park’s walking-friendly layout gives you room to stretch your legs with your four-legged crew between fishing sessions. Just follow the posted park rules and enjoy the coastal breeze with your pup.
Portland RV Park accepts travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes on full-hookup sites with 50/30/20 amp power. Sites feature individual water and sewer connections, stable pads suitable for extended parking, and select sites with bay views. The park enforces quiet hours, making it a peaceful retreat after a long day on the water.
Note on RV Age Policy: RVs 10 years or older require approval prior to arrival. Simply submit an exterior photo when booking and the team will confirm your reservation.
Availability is limited — the park focuses on extended stays and workforce housing, with overnight and short-term sites available when space allows. Book early, especially for peak tournament weekends in May and June.
