If you’re thinking about a long-term stay at Stella Mare RV Resort in Galveston, here are some practical next steps you’ll want to consider:

Decide on the Length of Stay

• Winter Texans (November–March): Monthly set rates are available ($2,999 Deluxe / $3,499 Premium).
• Other Long-Term Guests: You can book month-to-month with advance purchase or extended-stay discounts.

Pick the Right Site Type

• Pull-through sites – Best for big rigs and easy access.
• Premium sites – More green space, close to the pool/amenities.
• Back-in sites – A little more private and budget-friendly.

Check Availability

• Stella Mare gets very popular during winter and summer, so securing your spot early is key. Our booking system lets you lock in dates 60+ days ahead and save up to 30% off daily rates.

Plan for Comfort

• Bring shade gear (it’s sunny year-round in Galveston).
• Ask for a site close to the dog parks if traveling with pets.
• For social guests, choose near the pool, splash pad, or firepit areas; for quieter stays, ask for the back rows.

Short-term & Summer stays: Premium costs only slightly more—typically between $1–$4 extra per night, or ~$18 per week. It may be worth the added convenience, especially during busy seasons.

Platform Variability: Pricing on third-party platforms like Hipcamp may be slightly higher, reflecting convenience or demand-based adjustments.
