If you want to camp near the bay or see the waves of the Mexican Gulf, this is very applicable for you. Lovely view to see the sunrise and sunset as well. You can go fishing in the lake too. There is electricity & water for RV, Van, & trailers campgrounds, there is also space for tent or dry camping. Very near to the city to explore.
I camped overnight on the beach side in an area in a field. In the photos on the web site, I thought that I would be too close to others, but that was not the case. Plenty of room to spread out and not even notice others were around. This area was clean, and everyone was nice. The restrooms are a bit of a walk from this area, that is really the only downside because if the urge hits at 2 in the morning, you have a good walk to get to the bathrooms or you could drive to the restrooms. Other than that, it's a great spot to camp. The beach is a short walk away as well.
We had a great time. Spent the weekend camping on the oceanside, so peaceful and laid back this time of year. We rented the camping spot with a deck and electrical outlets it was perfect, 6 with 100+ temps, we had a box fan at night. Our space was just a short walk to the restrooms & showers ( well maintained) for a state park. The beach was clean and not very crowded. Definitely plan to go back. We also enjoyed the walking trails on the bayou side👟.
I spent a week here. Park is close to all Galveston has to offer, large rv pads, level and paved, covered table and a fire ring. Cell and TV reception are great. Easy access to the beach, clean restrooms with showers. The part of the park north of the main road has several miles of trails to stretch your legs on. Park staff was friendly and pleasant to deal with. I had a great visit!
What a great upgrade to an already great state park. The work completed after the hurricane is wonderful. They maintained every ounce of beech chill while providing more spots, updated electricity and water and a nice dumpstation. There are plenty of trash cans as well. The bathrooms and day use areas are also really nice. As always food availability in this area is my only gripe, but then again you are on the island and have time for a quick drive.
