Karankawa Camping Area — Goliad State Park

Within Goliad State Park, the Karankawa Camping Area accommodates RVs up to 65 feet with full hookups across open terrain. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department manages this established campground year-round at $25 per night, with both drive-in and walk-in access available. The sites spread across relatively flat ground with scattered trees providing some overhead cover.

"Each site is very spacious," according to Katie M., who also notes the area has "lots of trees and shade for South Texas." Campers consistently mention the clean facilities and straightforward entry process. The campground includes standard amenities like showers, picnic tables, and a dump station, plus allows both campfires and pets.

Insect activity runs high during certain seasons, particularly in fall when multiple species become more active throughout the region. Several reviewers recommend bringing tent screens and bug spray. The park's hiking trails provide on-site recreation, while the nearby San Antonio River offers water access. Historic attractions within walking distance include Spanish colonial sites and Texas Revolution landmarks that draw history enthusiasts to the area.

For different camping styles, the park also features Jacales Camping Area and Vaquero Camping Area with varying layouts and amenities.
