When you’re staying through the summer in Texas, air conditioning runs constantly — and electric bills at RV parks can easily add $100–$200+ per month to your cost. At Magnolia Beach RV Park, electricity is included in your rate. That means the $350/month concrete pad rate is your true all-in cost, while a $395/month rate at a competing park could realistically cost $550–$600/month once summer electric usage is factored in.
For anglers, contractors, and extended-stay guests on a budget, that difference adds up fast.
Magnolia Beach RV Park offers both concrete and non-concrete pad options. Concrete pads provide a level, stable surface that’s easier to level your rig on and keeps things cleaner during wet weather.

The park attracts a diverse mix of guests who all share one thing in common: they want a clean, affordable, well-located coastal base without paying resort prices.
