- RV Park Tour: Jamaica Beach RV Park in Galveston, Texas
Trip Report and RV Park Review based on our experiences during our stays at Jamaica Beach RV Park in Galveston, Texas.
Jamaica Beach RV Park is an RV Resort on Galveston Island on the Texas Gulf Coast. Amenities at this family owned and operated RV park include mini golf, 2 swimming pools, indoor hottub, onsite store, propane and ice, movies under the stars and the new 700 foot lazy river!!! Jamaica Beach RV Park is one of our favorite places to stay in our RV. We've visited every year since 2013. Watch the video and we think you'll see why!
We're building a full profile page about Jamaica Beach RV Park on our website, until that is complete visit their website for more info: www.jbrv.net.
We (Tom & Stacie) are Native Texans who are all about exploring the Lone Star State in our weekend home on wheels. We're always looking for fun and interesting places to visit. We'd love to hear your suggestions on fun and interesting places to visit. Please leave a comment below!

Thanks so much for your video. My family will be coming down there on May 29, 2023, and we will be stating as long as we can . I can't wait. It is only 30 days from today, April 29, 2023. We really need this vacation.
I think y’all will love it 😊
We are going to have to check it out. Thanks for sharing with us.
Excellent tour! Just called and made reservations and told them we watched your video on CZcams and decoded to book right then! Such a great tour thank you!!!!
+rennydesigns Awesome!! You will have a great time! Thanks for letting them know you saw our video. 😁
Thank you for filming it!
You're welcome Cindy!
Just was there this weekend! LOVE this place. Great for families! Ton's of activities. Will definitely return!!! Management is phenomenal! They "kids" spray pad has been upgraded, has a "playground" with big barrel that fills with water and "dunks" the kiddos! The lazy river is awesome! We have returned many many times and will continue!
So glad y’all enjoy it as much as we do, Cindy! It’s definitely one of our favorites.
OMG!!! I want to go there. Maybe next summer we are only about 5 hours from Galveston so we will be checking this place out for sure. Thanks for the great tour.
+truetexas Thanks for the comment! Glad you enjoyed the video. You will love Jamaica Beach! We have another Galveston video coming out tomorrow.
Wow... this place is amazing! Thank you for sharing!
+Terri Jones Glad you enjoyed the tour!
Another great video. Felt like we were there in the lazy river. Now everyone wants to go.
+Norman Gebhardt Thanks Norman! Put it on your list. 😀
Love it, a 5th Gen native Texan about to full time RV, but have never seen the TX coast, maybe someday, iwill look for boondocking or cheap RV spots, on SS
Good luck on your journey!
Can you tent camp here? Great video!
Thank you for your video. We were there last weekend and had an amazing time. Your video helped out with our decision to stay there.
+El Gio5510 Awesome!! Glad y'all enjoyed it! Thanks for letting us know.
I hope they didn't get hit too hard by the hurricane. We want to go there ASAP. It looks like a great place!
Hey Y’all! We just saw your Jeep at Jamaica Beach RV Park here on Christmas Day 2020. We are in Site 18. We’ll look for you later. The Pierce’s
So glad we were here at the same time!
Oh my gosh! We're definitely going to have to visit the Jamaica Beach RV Park. Thank you for the great tour of the park.
We appreciate it Alan! It is one of our favorites. In fact, we spent this past weekend at Jamaica Beach.
Sweet..!
Hey!! Thanks too you we are going to stay at Jamaica Beach with our Buddies this 4th of July! Hopefully, this will be one of our many favorite destinations, thus far.
That is awesome, Laura! Have a great time!
That place is awesome! That family sure is handy lol!
+ScenicRouteTravelers365 Yes it is and yes they definitely are! :)
Good morning yall you know as many times as we have been to Galveston we have not visited this park, but now its on our list. Great review thank you
Jamaica Beach RV Resort is absolutely worth adding to your list. We have loved every visit since our first stay here back in 2013. Great folks and tons of amenities.
i camped there in the late 1980s, i owned a new pop up apache solid state camper , AC and tinted windows. that was a fun little camper. as the kids got older, i up graded to a self contain 26 foot ?, apache. i like jamaica beach better than steward beach.
Thanks
Thanks again, definitely want to check this out!
Hi Suzanne! It’s a great park. We think you’ll enjoy it. 🌴
This my 1st time seeing y’all old rv it was nice
Thanks Isaac! :)
Looks great, we will have to check them out!
Definitely worth checking out. :)
Great! Thanks for showing us this!
Thanks Edie! Glad you enjoyed it.
I guess I’m going to actually have to go stay at this rv park to understand why everyone says it’s so great. We have friends that love it. I’ve driven through it a couple of times and just don’t understand the allure. I mean . . . I’m staying on Galveston island (the beach is king) but everything this park has to offer could be on a plot of land north of Lubbock. It takes no advantage of natural resources Galveston has to offer (beach).
Again, I’m willing to give it a shot! I’ll call it my research project.
Go Coogs!
Great informative video. Thanks!
+Scott Seese Thanks Scott! Glad you enjoyed it.
You made a awesome video also this is my first time hearing about this Jamaican Beach RV we are new to the RV life so we have a lot to understand and learn we going to pretty much travel throughout the State of Florida for about one year Jamaica Beach RV looks really really nice.
Hi! We hope that y'all enjoy RVing as much as we do. We look forward to exploring more in Florida. When you make it over to Texas, be sure to put Jamaica Beach RV Resort on your list of places to stay. We love it there. 😁
Going in 2 days can't wait. Thanks or the great tour!
We’re jealous! Have a great time!!
Do you know if there is fishing in the pond?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone fishing in it. But we did notice on our last trip that they have added a little pier on one side. You might ask.
Thanks. Love it. Hugs from Stockholm Sweden
+ZitaZoo Studio Appreciate it! Hugs back at ya!
This is the life!!
We love it Tiffany!
Thank You so much. It’s beautiful
Glad you enjoyed it Kathy. We love that park!
I drove through this in 2020 and it looked like a unkept dive. Nothing was mowed, many old full timer campers that didnt look transportable. Pool didnt look good and I think it was closed. You also stacked up but I guess they all are down there.
Y'all were enjoying the lazy river WAY too much! Looks like a relaxing and lazy way to cool down after a day at the beach or in town.
+Tom Shaughnessy Y'all need to get down there & check it out! 😁
I want to get an rv just for this now. Lol
It is absolutely one of our favorite parks!
@Brennan Langston you're right about no one giving a damn 😂
I am going in 16 day i am 22 or 23 it looks fun❤
Have a great time Victoria! It is awesome!
If I send you a STL Cardinals hat would you wear it instead of the Astros? LOL
Wow very nice place
We love Jamaica Beach!
good video yall covered it all
Thanks Byron!
The video started very well and easy to hear what was being said. Once you started showing the park the voice audio dropped too low to be able to understand at the volume that was set at the beginning. To turn up the volume is to make the music too loud. Looks like it may have been a good place to stay, but the bad volume destroyed the quality of watching it to learn about the park. Is there another video about this place? We are looking for a place down that way for extended stays with our fifth wheel trailer.
Sorry you had trouble with the audio, Bruce. Here's another video we posted a couple of years ago about wintering at Jamaica Beach RV Resort: czcams.com/video/SFfbcAR9vwM/video.html
We'll be there July of 2020!
Awesome! We love it! Tell them we said Hi.
Great video
Thank you Jack!
Are the pools heated in the winter? Very nice park! I will have to check it out sometime. It would be nice if you shared information about how long you stayed and what it cost you to stay. Thanks for sharing! Safe travels!
Hi Debra! Yes the pools are heated. They also have an indoor hottub. We’ve stayed there many times since 2013. We have gone there at least once a year since then. Their website is www.jbrv.net so you can check their rates.
Always enjoy your videos. Do you know the difference between Standard, Deluxe and Premium sites? I couldn't find a description on their website. Would this be a good spot to snowbird as far as the weather? Thanks.
Dave,
+DenaliDaveB Thanks Dave! As far as the different types of sites, we believe the Premium sites are primarily end sites that have more green space next to them. All of the Standard sites are located in the original section of the park. Not sure, but we think Deluxe sites are a little bigger than standard. This is a popular park amongst snow birds. The weather in Galveston dips into the 30s maybe 2 or 3 times, but is typically 40s & higher (actually probably 50s & higher most of the time). Here's a link that shows recent weather by month in Galveston... m.accuweather.com/en/us/galveston-tx/77550/month/331114?monyr=1/01/2017.
Hi again, Dave. We just spoke with Ron at Jamaica Beach RV Park. The primary difference between Standard, Deluxe and Premium is in location.
RV Texas Y'all Thank you for answering my questions. I hope to snowbird when my wife retires. She said she's up for that. I Would love to get out of the Indiana winters. Lol, although the last few years haven't been too bad. My dream is to full time don't know if I can talk my wife into that. Thanks again.
Dave,
+DenaliDaveB No problem, Dave! Our plan is to full-time one of these days also. Would love to follow the 75 degree weather! 😁
I love you so much
My mom send me this
We love to ride our bicycles from campgrounds to local stores and restaurants. Are there sidewalks or bike paths from the campground to town?
Not really Tammy. There is a small local grocery store and seafood restaurant about a quarter of a mile from the resort. There is a trail that will take you about half of that (folks use it to get from the resort to the beach access). But the rest of the way would be on the shoulder of the Bluewater Highway. It's not a terribly busy road, but sometimes folks drive pretty fast on it. So although it has a good shoulder, I don't think we would want to ride our bikes on it.
Thank you
We will go there
You will love it!
I their right now
+Dirt bike Savage Enjoy! Say Hi to Ron & Dora for us! 😁
plaining a trip to Galveston in May but staying at Stella mare rv resort what are your thoughts
Stella Mare is a nice park. Very clean, very easy to get around, well run, convenient to everything in Galveston and nice pool. Enjoy!
The RVs are a little close together no?
Just about the same as most RV Parks around the nation?? 🤷♂️
@@rvamericayall oh, OK because there’s this electric RV startup that just unveiled an electric motorhome that can transform into a 400 square-foot home. See the slide on one side expand 2 feet like regular but then there is another wall that extends out 8 feet on the other side to make a full blonde living room, and then there is the rear that extends out also 8 feet to make a bedroom. This RV is supposed to enter production in 2025. That is if it comes to fruition. Now, with that, if I were to buy that thing, it looks like I need to book 2 campsites, next to each other
Where is the brown water? Lol, jk. Sorry Galvastonians... good work. Looks fun
😂
Hey Tom, who was filming while you were in the water?
Hi Ty! Stacie filmed at the lazy river.
@@rvamericayall I was just curious the video showed you both on the inner-tubes in the water so was wondering who was filming. Have you guys thought about using a drone to do aerial pictures? I'm thinking about getting one when I start RVing. You guys look like you're having to much fun and that's no fair lol.
We have an extension that we can put our waterproof camera on. We've thought about a drone. Maybe one of these days. :) We're having a great time. Hope to see you out there one of these days!
why is no-one at Jamaica RV Park on August 21, 2017?
Could you posse eliminate the music??? & just let us here the natural sounds of the surroundings?? Also please let us know the daily, weekly, & monthly rates of the 30 & 50 amp sites. Thank you
I have a Rv I just want to rent the lot could I??
Do they have RV for rent
Nope, but they have 3 cabins for rent!
youall get the music away
No one ever talks about PRICE in there video . WHY?
We don’t talk about price because prices change.
The RV park is golf cart friendly isn't it?
Yes it is, Brant. You can bring your own or there is an outside vendor who will rent one to you and deliver it to the park.
@@rvamericayall Thank you! We are booked for the 2nd week of June at this RV Resort and will be bringing our golf cart in our Toy Hauler.
@@MEANSBC Have fun!
was the park affected by Hurricane Harvey?
Hi April. No, this park was not damaged by Harvey.
Can you drink there
Yes
can you fit a 45 foot rig in there sites or are you limited to size
You can fit a 45’ rig. The roads aren’t huge. But it’s definitely do-able and the sites are big enough.
@@rvamericayall thank you because when I watched your video on it I thought that would be a great place to rv with the grandkids
It is a PHENOMENAL place to RV with the grandkids! Tons for the whole family to enjoy right there in the park. 3 generations of the family who own the park live and work there. It is very family friendly.
@@rvamericayall great I can't wait to meet you guys at nirvc Monday to pick up your new rig I follow you guy's and watch all your videos and I can't wait to get out there myself
How long can you rent it for..
They offer monthly stays from about October through May. Some folks stay for the entire winter.
Did you say how much the camping cost?
I don't think we mentioned it in the video. Here's the link to their rates page on their website: www.jbrv.net/rates.html.
Thank you
What is the charge for staying there?
Here is the link to the rates page on their website: www.jbrv.net/rates.html
Stelle Mare is MUCH nicer
It’s newer, we did a video on them as well. The biggest difference to us is Stella Mare is a corporate owned place and Jamaica Beach is family owned & operated.
Your back ground music is to loud makes it hard to understand your talks
Thank you for the feedback, Saundra. Sorry about that.
So what's with the crappy music
