PORT A RV RESORT REVIEW | PORT ARANSAS BEACH
Port A RV Resort Review. In this video we share some footage and a informal review of this nice resort close to the Beach in Port A(Port Aransas) Texas. We only intended to spend about 10 days here but ended up spending nearly 2 months after we connected with some new friends and really enjoyed the location, town and staff of the resort.
Port A RV Resort is just across the street from Port Aransas beach.

Port Aransas Ferry System up and running
The Port Aransas ferry system is now open to the public following closures due to Hurricane Harvey.
TXDot says the ferry system is scheduled to operate daily, under a limited-service plan, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. until further notice.
The current schedule calls for three ferries to be in service, two 28-vehicle vessels and one 20-vehicle ferry.
The limited-service plan was approved by the U.S. Coast Guard in response to a request by the City of Port Aransas.
The ferry system has been closed to the public since Hurricane Harvey made landfall Aug. 25, damaging every aspect of the Port Aransas ferry operations.
While closed to the public, the ferry system has transported first responders, emergency crews, utility vehicles and passengers approved by the City of Port Aransas.
The ferry system normally operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

RVing on the Gulf Coast Ferry System
In ten years of full-time RVing, we'd only taken our motorhome aboard a ferry twice before, on a round-trip sailing from Horseshoe Bay in Vancouver, Canada to Gibsons, on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast. That trip, on a huge 450-foot-long BC Ferries vessel, took about 45 minutes each way and was very expensive for the RV, our tow car and two people.
Despite the cost, there was something very cool about having our RV out on the water, and the beauty of the Sunshine Coast during our month-long stay made it well worth the expense.
On a recent trip from New Orleans, LA to Galveston Island, TX, both Google Maps and our GPS suggested that we drive inland, along interstate 10. Since we prefer to stay on more scenic local roads whenever possible (and we were also eager to take the RV on the ferry ride to Galveston Island) we stayed along the coast instead.
As a bonus, we drove through peaceful and scenic marshland and got some views of the Gulf of Mexico as well. While researching our route, we discovered that there would be an additional water crossing required, on the Cameron-Holly Beach ferry.
We weren't sure if a large motorhome would be able to make the crossing. Were large vehicles allowed? Was there a problem with low tide causing steep approach or departure angles? A little online research showed that it wouldn't be a problem, although we'd recommend that anyone planning to follow this route check for any updates or changes to ferry policies or conditions.
The Cameron-Holly Beach ferry trip is laughably short... only 1/4 mile and about 3 1/2 minutes. It took longer to drive on and off the ferry than to cross. Because of the short trip duration, everyone is asked to remain in their vehicles. As we approached the loading area, we were asked if anyone on board was over 65. Since neither of us is, we had to pay full fare to cross: $1. That's right... the RV, toad and 2 people for $1! lol Had we been over 65, it would have been free.
When we arrived in Port Bolivar, TX to catch the ferry to Galveston Island, we were pleased to find that the trip was free for all ages! During the crossing we saw dolphins riding in our bow wave and were lucky enough to catch one of them on video, as you can see.
Next time you're RVing along the Gulf Coast, get off the Interstate and head out onto the water. It's a great way to travel by RV!

Mustang Island resort announces reopening after Hurricane Harvey
Mustang Island’s largest resort hotel announced plans today to re-open its doors following Hurricane Harvey.
The Port Royal Ocean Resort and Conference Center, a flagship destination between Corpus Christi and Port Aransas, will begin hosting limited guests on April 1, with the official grand re-opening scheduled for early June 2018.
“The fact that we are able to confidently and publicly announce our plans to re-open so quickly after we incurred significant damage from Hurricane Harvey is a true testament to our Board’s planning; the hard work and tireless dedication of our team; and the incredible support from our partners,” said Kendra Kinnison, general manager of Port Royal Ocean Resort.
As a result of the storm, the resort sustained extensive damage to roofs, elevators, HVAC systems, the pool area, and many exterior walls.
Washington State Ferry Wake
I did this as a bit of an experiment -- I set up my camera on a tripod on the aft end of the ferry and took a photo every 5 seconds. This was the result.
