Cameron County announced the launch of a transformative infrastructure improvement project at Isla Blanca Park, located at 33174 State Park Road 100-South, South Padre Island, Texas.
The initiative will deliver critical upgrades to the park’s utility systems, including the modernization of electrical, water, and wastewater infrastructure serving 577 existing RV sites and the realignment of Dodson and Emerald Streets to improve traffic flow and accessibility and create an additional row of RV sites to meet growing demand. Project cost is $12 million.
To ensure safety and efficiency during construction, all 577 RV sites will be temporarily closed for approximately 12 months. Cameron County appreciates the public’s patience and understanding as we carry out these essential upgrades. The public beachside areas of Isla Blanca Park will remain fully open throughout the construction period and visitors can continue to enjoy the park’s signature amenities, including one mile of pristine gulf shoreline, gulf-side pavilions and boardwalks, jetties fishing areas and boat ramp, amphitheater and walking trails and beachside concessions and parking lots servicing these areas.
“Isla Blanca Park is one of our county’s most treasured destinations, and these infrastructure improvements are a critical investment in its future,” said County Judge Eddie Treviño, Jr. “By upgrading essential utilities and expanding RV accommodations, we’re ensuring a high-quality experience for all visitors. We thank the public for their support as we enhance this coastal gem for generations to come.”
“This project reflects our commitment to improving quality of life for residents and visitors alike,” said County Commissioner Sofia C. Benavides. “These upgrades will enhance safety, accessibility, and recreational opportunities. We’re proud to move forward and grateful for the community’s continued support.”
“These improvements mark an exciting new chapter for Isla Blanca Park,” said Parks Director Joe
E. Vega. “Upgrading infrastructure allows us to meet current needs and prepare for future growth, all while preserving the park’s natural beauty. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we build a stronger, more resilient park.”
Cameron County remains committed to preserving and enhancing the visitor experience at Isla Blanca Park and across all Coastal Parks. This project is a vital step toward ensuring that Isla Blanca continues to be a beloved destination for current and future generations.
