Please...any suggestions for a good, clean, quiet, biker/motorcycle friendly, preferably paved RV Park/Resort in the Fulton/Rockport area very near the water (fishing, beaches)? What's good or bad about it? Prices? Internet? Cable? Showers? Laundry? Can you also recommend some good (not expensive) restaurants and bars (and which ones to avoid)? Which ones have live danceable music (rock, blues, R&B, country)? Fun events, local sites and scenery "must-sees" late November through April? What are the people like there? Thank you!
Do a pass on Circle W RV Ranch a Passport America park in Rockport. Narrow streets and very narrow sites. Parking is no fun at all. It might be a good idea to take a look at RV Park Reviews to narrow down what parks you want to look at.

Rockport Fulton area, they range on the 1-10 scale from a 1 to a 6. I personally have never seen anything over a 6. On highway 35 on the east side of Fulton , on the north side of the road, is , IMO, the best rv park in town. However, it is the furthurest from all you mentioned.
Now on food, there are few choices. You go down on Fulton beach road and you will find the restrauants. All are good, none are bad. I have yet to figure out which one is best. For breakfaast you get two choices. Both on 35 on the west side of town and they are crisscross from each other. Both have good food and nice people.
The people in the town a just small town people , no pressures, no hassels, and they know where their bread is buttered with the Winter Texans.
Economic wise, it is rather cheap if you compare it to anyplace else.
Dancin? Cant help you there
Mexican restrauants are a plenty and cheap and good and you get way too much food for the money.
Beaches, you will be disappointed. Drive down to Port Aranasas and use the best beach in the south.
Internet, cable, showers, etc,.......not a great thing in this area.
Bars? On Friday night, if they ask if you have a weapon and you say no and they offer to loan you one, DONT GO IN. Seriously, the best bars are the ones in the Mexican rest.

We spent 5 weeks in Rockport/Fulton in Jan/Feb. and loved it.
Goose Island SP is spectacular, especially if you can get a beach site out on the point along the gulf. Typical state park, its the view, location and scenery.
We stayed at Watersedge RV Park in Fulton. Smaller park, all cement, small sites, but we enjoyed it there and would go back. In fact, we have our name down for next year again. Its right across the street from the gulf. Easy biking up and down the beach and into Rockport itself. Clean laundry and shower rooms. Has its own 500' fishing pier out into the gulf.
Resturants - Boiling Pot in Fulton - great cajun seafood. Alices in Fulton right on the gulf-didn't get there but heard great reviews.
Corey's Seafood Resturant in Aransas - fabulous claim/crab chowder!
Great birding with easy drives to many birding areas. Aransas Wildlife Preserve, Mustang Island, Padre Island and National Seashore Preserve. Be sure to take the boat tour to see the Whooping Cranes - the best and usually only way to really get a good look at them.
Can't go wrong with just about any of the small local seafood and Mexican resturants. Great Mexican resturant on the south side of Rockport on Highway 35. Can't help you with the night life!!
See our travel blog for more details. We love that area.
