When we rolled into Stella Mare RV Resort, we knew right away we were in for something a little extra. This wasn’t just another RV park—it felt more like a beachfront resort that happened to welcome RVs with open arms.
Located in Galveston, Texas, Stella Mare gave us that perfect mix of coastal vibes, resort-style amenities, and a laid-back atmosphere.
It was the ideal spot to park our rig, unwind, and soak up some sunshine with the beach just minutes away. If you’re looking for a touch of luxury while keeping the RV lifestyle alive, Stella Mare is where it’s at.
The Scoop Stella Mare RV Resort
Stella Mare RV Resort is all about bringing a little luxury to your RV experience. The park is meticulously maintained, with spacious, level sites that accommodate everything from big rigs to smaller setups like ours.
Full hookups? Of course. And the concrete pads and wide roads made parking a breeze, even for the less-than-seasoned drivers.
But what really sets Stella Mare apart are the amenities. We’re talking a massive resort-style pool, cabanas for lounging, and even a splash pad for the kiddos. The park also offers easy access to the beach—you can be on the sand in minutes, which was a total win for us.
If you’re up for a bit of exploring, Galveston’s attractions, like Moody Gardens and the Historic Strand, are just a short drive away. Stella Mare offers that perfect blend of beachside relaxation and adventure, making it more than just an RV park—it’s a full-on vacation experience.
Location: 3418 Stella Mare Ln, Galveston, TX 77554
Date/Temp: We pulled into Stella Mare in early March. The temps were in the mid 80s with cloudy skies. The evenings cooled off a little bit and held steady in the 60s.
Amenities: This RV resort is full of awesome amenities. To begin, the concrete pads are huge. They can spaciously accommodate the largest Class-As and their tow vehicles.
The resort also offers a pool with a wrap around deck and chairs for tanning. Our favorite amenity was the pristine bathrooms, showers, and laundry facility. It was, hands down, the best quality we’ve seen since beginning full time RV living.
Wifi: Stella Mare offers free wifi that works very well. The free option was fast enough to stream Netflix & Hulu. We were also able to upload YouTube videos with it.
The resort also offers a paid internet option with increased speeds for large internet needs (conference video calls, gaming, fast uploading).
Noise: This is a large resort with many sites. During our stay it was about 40% occupied. With that said, we were never disturbed with loud noises. If the resort was at capacity, it may be slightly noisier. However, every site has a grassy yard separating it from the next.
Grocery/Errands: Galveston has tons of shopping options. Stella Mare is only a few miles from the center of town; making it close enough to easily access downtown, but far enough away to be out of the hustle & bustle.
Dog Friendly: We love dog friendly parks, and Stella Mare is very welcoming of furry friends! They have numerous doggy-waste-stations located throughout the park and two fenced-in dog runs (one for big dogs and one for small pups).
Entertainment: Galveston is full of entertainment. If you want to work on your tan, the beach is right across the street. Old Town Galveston has fun shops and restaurants.
There is even an amusement park that overlooks the Gulf!
