Every October, something wonderful starts happening along the South Texas Gulf Coast. The summer crowds thin out, the temperatures drop to something genuinely pleasant, and thousands of RVers from across the country — affectionately known as Winter Texans — start rolling in. They've discovered what locals have always known: Corpus Christi in the winter is hard to beat.
It's been called one of the best kept secrets in Texas. While the rest of the country is dealing with ice and frozen pipes, South Texas is enjoying 70-degree afternoons, warm Gulf breezes, and skies that stay blue for weeks at a time. Tropical sunsets paint the bay every evening. Dolphins play in the surf year-round. Migratory birds from across the entire North American continent funnel through the area on their way south, making it one of the premier birdwatching destinations in the country during winter months.
The Winter Texan community has built something genuinely special here over the decades. There are clubs, activities, dances, potlucks, and group outings organized throughout the season. The RV parks along the coast fill up with friendly, experienced travelers who quickly become neighbors and friends. If you've never spent a winter in South Texas, the social side of it is something you have to experience to fully appreciate.
At Colonia del Rey RV Park, we welcome Winter Texans every season. Our long-term rates are designed for extended stays, and the park's location puts you close to everything Corpus Christi has to offer — the bayfront, the National Seashore, the shopping and dining on SPID, and all the activities that make this region such a popular winter destination.
If you're considering making the move south this winter — or looking for a new home base on the Gulf Coast — we'd love to have you. Come see what the snowbirds already know. Corpus Christi is one of the finest places in America to spend a winter in an RV.
