RangerWasn't impressed with this campground after pulling in my 32' RV. There's nowhere to park with my F-250 super duty. I went to take a shower. There was only one shower the other one was broken and it didn't have any hot water. A sign on the door said no hot water. Had to take a freezing cold one. Come on Texas. You can't afford a plumber and a hot water heater?
TravelerLarge sites, plenty of space between campsites. They have two new sets of washers and dryers. Roads have been paved. Cabins are being upgraded. They have added sewer hookups. And a disk golf course.
TravelerGreat place. I just need to rest and keep moving. Very nice and clean.
TravelerWe scheduled a single-night trip in late November to work the bugs out a new camping trailer. We stayed in campsite 24 which backs up to the little lake. It has running water but not electricity.
They had just finished renovating the showers on this side of the park. Instead of a shared bathroom each for men and women there are two "family" bathrooms with door locks. It's nicer overall, but you end up waiting more than you used to.
Like nearly all the state parks, this one is well-maintained. The camp host was quick to stop by and introduce himself as we were setting up camp.
Even in November the county in which Palmetto SP in was still under a burn ban. We were allowed to use a propane fire pit though.
For history buffs, this park is one of the CCC-built parks in Texas.
All the trails are relatively flat. Other campers were nice. You're 10 minutes away from a Buccee's.
TravelerWent to Shiner, TX to visit the brewery. Quaint little town with a very nice park. RV sites have electric and water for a fair daily price.
RangerThe RV Park worked ok for us and what we did in this location. We did see a fluctuation in the electrical power. We had a fan setup in the living room and would change speeds all by itself from almost nothing running to running full speed. Several times per minute.
RangerThere were 4 of us 40’ RVs. Two of us lost covers off of roof top units. There are trees every where that need trimmed before motorhome can go in without damage.
RangerThis park was so great. There was all kinds of history there that you can see for very low prices and also for free. In the town of Goliad at their courthouse to have a famous hanging tree that was used to hang people still standing.. About 3 miles down the road is Presidio La Bahia. Built by the Spanish army in the mid 1700s. Home of the Goliad massacre. If you enjoy history, you're really gonna love Goliad State park.
RangerNice and clean state park. I'm a ham radio operator and this park is one of the parks that gets activated for parks on the air. I've been doing a couple times and have activated it one time.
