Visited January 2012

The RV campground at NAS Corpus Christi is called Marvin Shields Park and is located in the northeast corner of the base on the shore of the bay. It offers 64 sunny sites, all with full hookups. Nearby are 28 additional sites in an area that was formerly a mobile home park. The RV park is open to civilians with an MWR Guest Card.

Approaching the main, larger park, one gets a good idea of how open the park is - there is no shade here.

Sites 101-128 are nearer the RV/Marina office in a former mobile home park. Here are sites 114-117.

Back in the main park is this long cement breakwater/fishing pier that extends out into the bay.

Our cat had a grand time watching the dozens of jack-rabbits that roam the campground.
