Dellanera RV Park

Lady At The Front Desk Was Not Friendly Or Helpful At All. We Were An Interruption To Her Day. We Were Expecting A Relaxing Time Overlooking The Beach And Gulf. What We Got Was A Week Of Construction 30 Feet From Our Site. I Understand That The Beach was undergoing A $550 Million Reconstruction, But Was Never Informed of that or That There Would Be Heavy Equipment And Endless Dump Trucks Working 7am To 4pm 7 Days A Week On The Beach Within 30 Feet Of Our RV.

We’ve stayed on Dellanera several times over the last four years and it never fails to meet expectations. The well spaced sites are concrete pads with FHU and our favorites are the ocean fronts which can accommodate back-ins from 30’ to 55’. There are also pull throughs in the center of the campground and additional back-ins along the lagoon side.

There is wifi; however it is less than robust. There is no cable. We are self contained and did not access the showers / lavatories. Strong cellular with ATT and Verizon.

Staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. Obviously rates vary based on time of year and length of stay. We spent Easter week 2022 for a little over $300 ocean front….total!

Located just beyond the sea wall, the City of Galveston (which operates Dellanera) is easily accessible. Walkable beach to the west. Highly recommend.

Loved this one. Right on the beach by the south end of the sea wall. Few amenities (laundry and shower house) but beach is a minute away and allows dogs. Easy access onto the sea wall for walking and biking and restaurants and shopping are just minutes away. The sites are a bit tight, but level. Our site (#10) was only slightly longer than Bevi and the Jeep was parked beside her in front of the patio. The patio was large enough to fit a few chairs in addition to the picnic table and overlooked the lagoon. The beach-side sites are back in sight with a great beach view and some have fire pits surrounded by an arched benches with windbreaks. Definitely a place to return to and one I wouldn’t mind spending more time at.

This is our first trip to Galveston, so we weren’t sure what to expect. The campground is clean and there is a decent amount of space between campsites. Only the small back in sites are on the water, but we are one row away and I hear the waves as I write this early in the morning. Road noise is minimal, although we did hear loud music from cars parked on the adjacent beach Sunday afternoon. The campground store doesn’t have much to sell and it’s at least a half mile to a store. The laundry facilities are great and only $1 per load!

The wifi access has been excellent but the campground is only about 70% full.

Excellent park, well maintained. Nice level concrete pad with picnic table and garbage can. Most spots had grills, but 36 did not. Easy access to the beach, which is actually about 12 feet below the park. I had a spot with a view of the ocean that was perfect. The spots are a little close together, but the view and access make up for it.
