History

Rockport RV Resort was established as an RV Park in the 1990s. Over the years, it has transitioned from primarily offering long-term rentals to catering to short-term vacationers and a mix of long-term tenants. The current owner acquired the property in recent years. Their interest in the lodging industry and the appeal of Rockport as a coastal destination led them to invest in the resort. The owner says that they purchased the property with the intention of improving the community and transforming it into a high-quality park. Growing up in the area and having expertise in selling mobile home RV parks, the owner remarks that they recognized the demand for RV parks in the region and saw an opportunity to make a positive impact. 

Since acquiring the property, several changes and renovations have been made by the current owner. The utilities have been upgraded to include city water and sewer connections. Additionally, renovations have been carried out on the roof, WiFi, and cable services. The owner is currently in the process of upgrading the RV sites and plans to renovate the roads to make them more spacious. Looking toward the future, the owner intends to continue improving the property. He explains that these improvements aim to create a more comfortable and enjoyable environment for visitors.
