Stay Your Way at Camp Margaritaville Crystal Beach
Explore Surf Bungalow Vacation Rentals, RV Stays, and Beachfront Concerts on the Texas Coast
If you’ve been thinking about planning your next beach getaway but are struggling to decide on what kind of stay fits best for your crew, let us take you on a virtual trip to Camp Margaritaville Crystal Beach.
Whether you’re traveling with family, friends, or pulling in with your own RV, there’s a way to stay here that just works. And once you arrive, the hardest decision you’ll have to make is “beach” or “pool”, because the rest just seems to fall into place.
Let’s start with where you’ll stay:
If You Want That “Beach House” Feel: Surf Bungalow Vacation Rentals
If your ideal vacation includes a little extra space, a little extra comfort, and being as close to the beach as possible, this is probably where you’ll want to land.
The Surf Bungalow Vacation Rentals are one of the newest additions to Camp Margaritaville Crystal Beach, and they’re designed to feel more like your own elevated beach retreat than a traditional stay.
You’ve got:
- Two-story layouts that sleep up to 8 people
- A king suite plus additional sleeping space for family or friends
- A full kitchen (perfect for slow mornings or easy dinners in)
- A private deck for coffee, cocktails, or just catching the breeze
- And you’re just steps from the sand
It’s a great option if you’re traveling with a group or just want a little more room to settle in, without giving up any of the resort-style perks happening right outside your door.
If You Like It Cozy (But Still Fully Equipped): RV Rentals
These are ideal if you’re looking for something a little more intimate but still want all the comforts already taken care of.
Each one:
- Sleeps up to 6 people
- Comes in 2 bedroom / 2 bath or 2 bedroom / 1 bath layouts
- Includes a full kitchen, seating area, and even a fireplace
The best part is that you can pack light! Camp Margaritaville Crystal Beach stocks these rentals with:
- Kitchen Items: Plates, cups, silverware, pots, pans, cooking utensils, coffee maker, toaster, and more.
- Linens: Bed sheets & towels = taken care of.
The only thing to remember is your flip flops—everything else is ready when you arrive.
Bring the Comfort of Home...Literally: RV Sites
For those who love the journey as much as the destination, you can absolutely bring your own rig and make it your home base.
The RV sites are designed to make things easy:
- Back-in and pull-through options
- Full hook-ups
- A fire pit and picnic table at every site
So, you still get that classic camping feel, but with beach access, live entertainment, and resort amenities just a short walk away.
What Your Days Could Actually Look Like
Once you’ve picked your way to stay, the real question becomes: what do you want your days to look like? Because here, you’ve got options.
Start with the Pool (You’ll Understand Why)
The License to Chill Pool is the heart of everything and it’s hard to miss. It is the largest pool of any RV resort in the country after all. Here you’ll find:
- Two oversized hot tubs with nearby fire pits and lounge seating
- A swim-up bar & 50 poolside cabanas
- Heated year-round
- Elevated poolside daybeds
- Live music on select dates
- Six elevated VIP suites with private bathrooms, AC, lounge areas, and decks overlooking the pool and concert venue
You can go all in with a private cabana or just grab a chair and spend the day floating between dips in the pool with a frozen concoction in hand.
Then There’s the Music 🎶
One of the things that really sets this place apart is how much the experience revolves around live entertainment.
At Paradise Park, you’ll find a dedicated open-air concert venue that brings some of the biggest names in rock, pop, country, and more to the Bolivar Peninsula—making it a go-to live music destination for guests traveling from Galveston, the greater Houston area, and beyond.
Concert access is included with your stay, whether you’re in a Surf Bungalow, RV Rental, or on an RV site.
Before you go, it’s always a good idea to know what to expect, from park guidelines to what you can bring along. Be sure to check out the property’s Know Before You Go guide for concert info and FAQs and take a look at the upcoming concert lineup as you start planning your stay.
Mix in a Little Bit of Everything Else
If you’re traveling with family, or just like having options, there’s always something happening around the property:
- Daily activities like games, crafts, and poolside fun
- Themed weekends with special events and seasonal celebrations
- A beachfront setting that makes it easy to go from pool → sand → live music in one day
You can keep things as relaxed or as full as you want.
Where You’ll Eat (and Probably Hang Out)
You can easily enjoy every meal here on property during your stay, which is always a win.
Fins Bar & Grill is the go-to:
- Weekend breakfast and brunch
- Casual coastal dishes and frozen concoctions
- A laid-back spot to gather after a day outside
If your day is centered around the pool (which, in our book, is always a good idea), the License to Chill Bar has you covered without ever having to leave your lounge chair. Think Boat Drinks and poolside bites, with the option to swim up, order, and stay in vacation mode all afternoon.
End your night on a sweet note with a visit to Dreamsicle Sugar Shop, located at License to Chill pool. Indulge in frozen treats and signature desserts before resting your head for a good night's sleep.
And If You’re Celebrating Something…
This is also one of those places that works really well for group moments.
From family reunions and birthday trips to weddings and corporate getaways, there are dedicated event spaces, catering options, and plenty of room to bring people together, without losing that relaxed, beachy feel.
