Welcome to Down By The Bay: Your New Coastal Escape

February 21, 2026 The Down By The Bay Team Park News

Are you dreaming of a quiet place where the only sounds are the gentle lapping of waves and the call of coastal birds? Welcome to Down By The Bay RV Resort & Campground, the newest and most relaxing destination on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Located in the charming community of Bayside, Texas, our resort offers a peaceful retreat just moments from the sparkling waters of Copano Bay. Whether you are a Winter Texan looking for a warm, friendly home for the season, or a weekend angler chasing the perfect redfish, we have created a space designed just for you.

A Fisherman's Paradise on Copano Bay

For those who love to fish, our location is simply unbeatable. Copano Bay is legendary for its abundant populations of redfish, speckled trout, black drum, and flounder. Unlike the crowded public piers in larger cities, our guests enjoy easy access to some of the best fishing spots on the entire coast.

Imagine waking up to a stunning sunrise over the water, grabbing your gear, and being on the bay in minutes. After a successful day on the water, you can return to your spacious RV site to clean your catch and swap stories with fellow anglers around a crackling campfire. It’s the kind of simple, authentic coastal living that is becoming harder and harder to find.

Modern Comforts in a Natural Setting

While we pride ourselves on our natural surroundings, we haven't skimped on the comforts you need for a relaxing stay. Our brand-new RV sites are designed to accommodate rigs of all sizes, from cozy travel trailers to luxurious Class A motorhomes.

Every guest at Down By The Bay enjoys:

  • Full Hookups: 20/30/50-amp electric service, water, and sewer at every site.
  • Free High-Speed WiFi: Stay connected with family and friends, or stream your favorite shows after a day of adventure.
  • Spacious Sites: Plenty of room to spread out, relax, and enjoy your own slice of paradise.
  • Pet-Friendly Atmosphere: We know your furry friends are part of the family, and they are always welcome here.

Explore the Best of the Coastal Bend

One of the best things about staying in Bayside is that you are perfectly positioned to explore the entire region. We are just a short, scenic drive from the bustling towns of Rockport and Fulton, where you can tour the historic Fulton Mansion, browse local art galleries, or enjoy a fresh seafood dinner at a waterfront restaurant.

You can spend your days exploring the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge—the winter home of the majestic Whooping Crane—or take a day trip to the pristine beaches of Mustang Island. And when you’re ready to escape the crowds, your quiet campsite at Down By The Bay will be waiting for you.

Book Your Stay Today!

We are thrilled to welcome you to our growing community. Whether you’re planning a weekend getaway or a months-long winter retreat, we invite you to experience the peace and beauty of the Texas coast the way it was meant to be.
