Gloria was a pleasure to deal with and this RV is exactly as shown on pictures. Would highly recommend this rental!!
Jason D. - Apr 2026
We had an absolutely amazing experience renting Gloria’s RV. From start to finish, everything was smooth, well-communicated, and exactly as described. The RV itself was in great condition—clean, comfortable, and fully functional for everything we needed during our trip. It made the entire experience at SandFest that much better. What really stood out was Gloria as a host. She was responsive, helpful, and clearly takes pride in making sure her renters have a great experience. That level of care makes a huge difference. Even more importantly, my dog absolutely loved the trip. The setup worked perfectly, and it made traveling with him easy and enjoyable. I would 100% rent from Gloria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable RV experience.

How to get to Lake Corpus Christi State Park
The park sits just outside Mathis, Texas, off State Park Road 25, about a 45-minute drive (roughly 35 to 40 miles) from downtown Corpus Christi via I-37 and about 3 hours from San Antonio. Roads into the park are paved and generally RV-friendly with no mountain passes, tunnels, or steep grades, though some interior loop roads are narrow and have low-hanging oak branches that larger rigs should watch for. The closest commercial airport for fly-and-rent travelers is Corpus Christi International Airport (CRP), with San Antonio International Airport (SAT) as a larger alternative about two hours north.
