As the temperatures drop across the northern states, thousands of Winter Texans make their annual migration to the warm, welcoming shores of the Texas Gulf Coast. Portland RV Park, strategically located at 601 US-181 in Portland, Texas, offers the perfect combination of coastal charm, affordable monthly rates, and convenient access to Corpus Christi’s attractions that make it an ideal winter destination for seasonal RV travelers.
Portland RV Park has become a preferred destination for Winter Texans seeking a peaceful, no-frills coastal experience without the crowds and high prices of more touristy destinations. Our waterfront-adjacent location provides the perfect balance of tranquil bay views and easy access to urban amenities, making it ideal for extended winter stays from November through March.
The park’s contactless operation model appeals to independent travelers who value privacy and flexibility during their winter retreat. With all utilities included in your monthly rate and reliable WiFi throughout the property, you can settle in comfortably for the entire season without worrying about fluctuating utility costs or connectivity issues.
The Coastal Bend region offers Winter Texans an abundance of activities and attractions that make the cooler months particularly enjoyable. The mild winter temperatures, typically ranging from the 50s to 70s, create perfect conditions for outdoor exploration and recreation.
Fishing Opportunities: Winter is an excellent time for fishing along the Texas coast. The new city fishing pier, located just down the street from Portland RV Park, provides easy access to bay fishing without the summer crowds. Redfish, speckled trout, and flounder are particularly active during the winter months.
Corpus Christi Attractions: Just minutes from the park, Corpus Christi offers world-class attractions including the Texas State Aquarium, USS Lexington Museum, and the vibrant downtown waterfront. Winter visitors enjoy shorter lines and more comfortable temperatures for exploring these popular destinations.
Nature and Wildlife: The Coastal Bend is a major stop along the Central Flyway migration route, making winter an prime time for birdwatching. Sunset Lake Park, Indian Point Pier, and numerous coastal preserves offer excellent opportunities to observe migrating waterfowl and resident coastal species.
