  Jacales Camping Area — Goliad State Park

  Goliad state park

  I’m from Goliad, so whenever I feel like getting outdoors I can just drive 15 minutes down the road to the park and enjoy a day hike or a weekend out in the woods. The park is awesome lots of Historic sites and lots of history in such a small town. The park has Tent sites, small cabins for rent and restrooms with showers that are always clean. They also have RV hook ups with plenty of room and shade trees. The nature trail is nice too. Definitely recommend for anyone that has not visited before.

  Rockport RV Resort by Rjourney

  A Changing Park

  My ranking system:  Five stars is a non-starter, because I do not award any business this ranking. There are always improvements to be made. A four star ranking is "Excellent", and a three star ranking is "Satisfactory". The others are  "Marginal" and "Unsatisfactory". This park receives a Satisfactory grade because it is an average park, with plusses and minuses found in most average parks. Some features are above average, and other features below average.

  In looking at the facilities, I  rate this park as Excellent. It has a swimming pool and hot tub, a playground for children,  floor shuffleboard, horseshoe pits and lanes, and corn-hole game set-ups. The park offers use of BBQ grills, having several to choose from, located under a covered picnic area to shade users from an unrelenting sun or torrential downpour. There are three small lakes or ponds that people can fish from without requiring a fishing license, on a catch and release basis. The RV park has a laundry room, handicapped accessorized bathrooms in three areas of the park, two of them being brand new to the facility since Hurricane Harvey, some years ago. There is a small card playing room in the building that houses the laundry machines. A lending library of the park contains books, movies, and jigsaw puzzles, of which there are a good number of books and puzzles to be borrowed.The clubhouse is quite nice and big, capable of supporting large crowd bingo games and dances. There are four 8-foot billiard tables in their own dedicated room inside the clubhouse.

  On the downside, but on an improvement schedule, are the roads in and about the park. About a third of the park's roads are in terrible shape. The entry area of the park has had a rock chip covering to smoothen  the drive through the park's entry and to the general office and clubhouse. Plans for future area road improvements have been discussed. So, while a downside, at this point in time, I expect this evaluation to improve as the roads are improved in the future.

  One  things the new owners really liked when they bought this park is the community-mindedness of the Winter Texan population, many of whom have returned to this park for upwards to 10-15 years. It is this family attitude that has run the vast number of activities weekly during the Winter Texan Season, to include numerous card games, dice games, board games, bingo, line and trail dancing, beanbag baseball and karaoke. Winter Texan volunteers take care of potluck meals and breakfast. There used to be about 20-25 ladies who maintained a sewing club and used to make honor quilts for veterans and other deserving individuals and organizations, but the vast majority of these ladies have indicated a desire to move on to other RV parks in upcoming seasons.

  A new activity the managing staff hopes to grow is the renting of the central clubhouse for outside events requiring a sizable area for entertainment. The clubhouse can probably house close to 200 individuals for these events, which are hoped to come from the communities of Rockport and surrounding areas. It is the hope of the general management at the park to have people look at the RV park as a wedding venue location, given the size of the clubhouse. Rooms upstairs, previously used by the sewing club, have been transformed into dressing rooms for these future events. The clubhouse is closed to Winter Texans during these events.

  As with all changes in management, things change to suit the goals of the new leadership. This sort of thing typically upsets people who had been conducting activities at the park for numerous years. That's the case at this park, as well. The new owners seem driven to adjust the focus of this park from one of Winter Texan retirement community to one that also attracts the attention of working families that are looking for a beautiful park to visit. The expected result of this adjustment is to broaden the clientele for the make up of the community population. Done smoothly, with a broad respect for the current community, these changes would bring minimal alteration to the lives of the long term Winter Texan families that call this park home. Done more aloofly, as appears to be the case, and the existing community may feel "under assault" by the new management, yielding the field to anger and discontent on both sides of the line. That seems to be the case as the new owners more fully assume command and control of this RV park.

  An initial town hall meeting was called by the new leadership and I thought the thing was conducted in a highly professional manner. Questions and concerns were voiced by the existing community and answered respectfully by the staff. Rumors were set to bed and the game plan for the park was briefed in a way most could appreciate. Promises were made, and so far, several have yielded fruit. A general timeline is probably in place to address promises of future action. That said, the office management has failed to take advantage of this forum type to inform residents and to quash rumors, thus allowing a rumor mill to fester unnecessarily.

  Downside changes made have changed the way the Winter Texan community views the park. The park  indicated it will no longer provide a mail service to the Winter Texan community that typically spends from 4-6 months at a time at the park, unless they are owners of permanently affixed park model mobile homes within the park. From the point of view of long term transient residents, who need this service to receive their medicines and bills from home, this decision will likely cause those Winter Texans to seek out other venues at which to spend their winters in the Coastal Bend area of Texas. While most changes can generally be adapted to with minimal fuss, the age category of Winter Texans is such that most of them receive their medicines through the mail while residing at this RV park. If the general office staff is unwilling to assume responsibility for the mail service of their transient long term residents, a solution would be to have the US Postal Service install an NBU bank of mailboxes that can be serviced by the letter carrier that brings the mail to the RV park. In this way, mail service will be available to these Winter Texans and the office will be also be out of the mail business. Other RV parks provide mail service to their clients in this manner, so it should be a consideration for the new owners of the RV park.

  All in all, this is a beautiful RV park with lots of potential for growth in character. The management needs to remember they are in the hospitality business and are to manage an environment conducive to the interest of the demographics that either have used the park loyally for years in the past, as well as those who might be convinced to spend their hard earned money at the park in the future. Respect begets respect, from both sides of the coin. One must trust the new ownership wants nothing but the best for their new acquisition. That said, the new owners should remember and respect that which made the park attractive to them in the first place. The previous local management team restored a completely destroyed RV park, thanks to Hurricane Harvey, into one that was vibrant and made returning exciting. Those Winter Texans who impressed the new owners during their visit have become some of those greatly disillusioned by the perceived lack of respect from an aloof new management team, and have left the community for greener pastures. The new owner was really impressed by the quilting club during his inspection of the park, so I wonder how disappointed he would be if he were to learn of the departure of most club members due to the perceived disrespect they received from the current office management.

  I have noticed animosity between previous posters and the ownership of the park, and this review is not intended to throw gasoline on either side of the arguments made by the two parties. Mine is a review of the RV park so others interested in staying here might have some ideal of what this park offers, and what things are changing at the park. As I've stated, there are many improvements being made to the park, but some have come at the cost of a tight-knit community. A future community will likely grow from the ashes of the old community, and I'm sure the ownership and those who continue to reside and visit this RV park fervently hope this will be the case. There are few RV parks in the Rockport area that offer the area afforded to visitors at this RV park. The area is green with life, and experiences to be made.

  In conclusion, the question is whether or not I would advise new RV travelers to accept this park or avoid it like the plague. To be honest with my evaluation of this park, I think it is one where people can become a part of a community, even to such extent that they return year after year. There are good amenities at this park for visitors to take advantage of, in addition to the local area and its beaches and fishing opportunities. The management is adequate to their task, but could become more community conscious in their demeanor and actions. Some aspects of this park fall easily into the Excellent rating, while other aspects of the park are merely Satisfactory. Overall, this is a Satisfactorily evaluated RV resort park. People need to remember that average is just that - a bit of good, a bit of bad, as found in all similar parks. And with all reviews, take each with a grain of salt. Each review is a vision of the park from a unique viewpoint, whether from a visitor or from the ownership. Each coin has two sides. If you are interested in visiting this park, short or long term, call them and ask questions. Make sure this park suits your needs and wants. If not, go elsewhere to a location that satisfies your needs. If so, then come to the park and inculcate yourself into the local community and don't sweat the adequacies or inadequacies of a managing hospitality crew. Their job is to welcome you to the park and keep things up and running. They work for the corporation, but also for you the visitor. Do not expect them to be your friends. That's not in their job description. Just come and enjoy yourself. Texas has a lot to offer, and this RV resort park is one of them.

  Awesome Hidden Gem

  This is the best RV park along the highway. It’s just off the highway so no road noise and very quaint. This is my favorite RV Park on the way to Houston from Austin.

  GREAT Resort- BEST Management

  This RV resort was wonderful for the winter! We stayed from Thanksgiving to April and had plenty of space for our kids to play. The pool is heated and there are many activities to get involved with. The location is great and the park management went above and beyond for all guests. 10/10 would recommend!!

  Rob and Bessie Welder Park

  Large Municipal Texas Park

  This is a large City Park locates in San Patricio County in Sinton, Texas. The park contains hundreds of acres of property that include a public golf course, baseball, basketball, and soccer facilities. The park also includes a full service RV Park. The sites include full hookup for large and small RVs and vans. The sites has showers and toilet facilities. It’s location is north of Corpus Christi about an hour from the coast. This could serve as a nice stopover for folks traveling along the Texas coast or heading to Padre Island. RV sites do not have privacy and some of the sites are occupied by full timers. We have this a lower rating based on the location and overall condition of the park.

  Sandollar Resort & RV Park

  Quiet and Relaxing

  Stayed here for 9 days during Christmas time. They have over 100 full hookup sites and over half are perms or Winter Texans staying for several months. It’s an older rv park and the hookups are strangely placed. Our water and sewer was on the correct side but electric and cable on the other side. Glad we had a super long coax cable and power cable. Clean quiet park with mostly seniors. Didn’t see any kids. It’s on the Arkansas bay and water was beautiful. A small commercial marina is there and we watched the boats bring tons of oysters in every afternoon. You can easily walk 1 mile to the Fulton marina area where there are several good restaurants. The park has a motel and 2 nice swimming pools also. We will probably return someday.

  Rockport RV Resort

  Perfect Little Spot

  Came across this place while camping at Goose Island State Park in Rockport. Julie is the owner and she is super nice and accommodating. Amenities are endless: laundry, shower, pool, electric hookup, full kitchen, fridge, hot tub, TV and lounge area and lots of shade. Lots of RV spots and a few places to set up tents. Usual rate is 25$ for RVs but Julie was so nice and allowed me to set up a tent and use the park for 15$ for the night. Highly recommend coming here and camping. Located right near town and 5 minutes from the water.

  Victoria City RV Park

  Clean, cheap, easy access

  This RV Park is situated along a creek which separates it from the rest of the park. There are 18 full hookup stations here, all are drive-thru. There is really no shade to speak of, a couple of spots have trees nearby, but really no shade for the rvs. This place is very basic, not much of a view. It's clean and well kept by the city. No reservations. You pull in and there is a dropbox with envelopes where you can pay your fee which is $12 per day. If you just need to use a dump facility, then the fee is $2. You could choose your spot before paying, if one is available. No reservations.

  To summarize, this place is clean and quiet, at least while we stayed here. Good spacing. At $12 a night, it is a great place to stop and stay if you want to dump your tanks, refill your fresh water or just rest. Walmart is 3 miles away.

  Victoria City RV Park

  Riverside RV Park, Victoria, Texas

  The city of Victoria operates a very nice RV park adjoining the city’s recreational complex. 18 pull through sites have full hookups and are generously spaced. Cost is $12.00 per night and all sites are “first come, first served”. 50 amp service is available on each site.

  The park is located within a park and adjacent to the park is a paved walking/biking path that if taken to the south, leads over to the Guadalupe River. Along the river is a 18 hole City golf course, minor league baseball field, duck pond and a children’s museum. All beautiful landscaped and maintained by the city of Victoria.

  I highly recommend this park and I would certainly stay here again in the future!!

  KOA Port Lavaca Matagorda Bay

  Find somewhere else to stay

  Find yourself somewhere else to stay! Beyond displeased with this place.$77/night for gravel parking and horrible road to get to this location. The place has potential, but I don't ever being worth what they're asking for short term stays. The kayak rentals are$25/hr and the water trikes are$45/hr. The pickleball court did not even have a net up. Grounds were not kept up. Mowing appeared to take place every 2 weeks and made mosquitos worse of problem because of it. The long term rentals were also complaining about the mowing not taking place enough. That seemed odd to us because there seemed to be plenty of staff on site to take care of those basic needs. We left early and they would not even adhere to their own 48 hr cancelation policy.

  Rockport RV Resort by Rjourney

  Very poor ownership/management!

  What a shame to see such a great park go downhill so fast under new, clueless, management. They bought the park a year ago when it was known as Circle W RV Ranch. Ray and Debra, the previous management team, were at the helm for 7 years and turned this park into a wonderful place, especially for"Winter Texans". Since the new owner takeover Ray has been fired and Debra has been moved to"Activities Director". The problem is that Debra is apparently not consulted regarding major changes that should fall under her responsibility. In my opinion, this has never been a"destination" park. The infrastructure is crumbling. What makes the park special is the activities and the people, who selflessly volunteer their time and money to make the park a fun place to be. That is all changing under the new ownership Residents are being pitted against one another and activities are being cancelled. Residents are not allowed to escalate their concerns beyond the local, inept, management. Recently one of the park"guests" brought a concern to the"manager" and was told"No one is forcing you to stay here. You are welcome to leave anytime". Does this sound like a corporation that values you and your business? It is impossible to find out who the President of the LLC is or even a contact number or email for the Region Manager. They only seem to care about increasing their summer business at the expense of their steady winter income from their long term winter residents. They want us to tell our grandchildren about the playground equipment that is"coming soon". Most of our grandkids are in their 20's and 30's. This park should be named"Titanic Acres" because it is steadily on course toward an iceberg and losing its winter income. Update: Sent 2 emails to corporate executives....crickets. Tells you all you need to know about this organization and your value as a guest! More than 30 RV's are not coming back next year but will not post until they leave for fear of being evicted(which they just did to a guest that was critical of them). Me, I don't care. Lots of other parks in the area that still respect the first amendment.

  Enchanted Oaks RV Park

  Nicely shaded place to stay

  A quiet and not overly crowded RV park. The bathroom and shower facilities were very clean. The rec room is spacious.  Michelle was a friendly and helpful host. I would definitely stay again. Note: this is inland from Rockport beach, so there were plenty of mosquitoes in July. So, bring some bug spray. Say hello to Mr. Raccoon in the dumpster if you go.

  Wilderness Oaks RV Resort

  Okay but next to airport with poor park drainage

  The previous reviewer is correct about the airport noise.

  Pros:

  • Our RV site was a back-in with plenty of room on a concrete pad with a picnic table. We were in the back row.

  • Our site did not have trees hanging over like a lot of sites (we have solar panels).

  Cons:

  • The campground wifi sucked. We relied more on our own Verizon wifi hotspot (we never assume park wifi is good).

  • Next to airport.

  • RV park, especially on eastern half, has seriously poor drainage. We were trapped in our RV lot, unable to leave, because the water was too deep for our Class A to go through without damage/mess of some sort.

  Taylor Oaks RV Park

  Not my favorite way to camp but the price was right

  Not my favorite way to camp, but the price was right. We were pretty cramped but the whole place was very quiet. There weren't any kids at all, other than ours. Dog friendly environment but none running loose at all. There was a friendly peacock wandering about who loved grapes.

  Easy parking, pull through spots.

  The laundry room was very clean which was much appreciated. $1.75 per washer & dryer.

  We were parked right across from the owners/manager which was fine, just felt a bit like we were watched. Mind you, we're used to being in the middle of no where though😂. Owners helped us park and have been super friendly the whole time.

  There's a small dog park across from the rv park, which was full of burrs and mosquitoes unfortunately. Apparently they are both bad this year.

  It was only 0.4 miles to the water and 1 mile to rockport beach- we biked and walked.. it was a nice area to explore. Photo is from rockport beach taken in November.

  I liked it.

  Was easy to get a spot. Full hookups for $12 a day is definitely not a bad price at all.

  No bathrooms, no shade. Still worth the price though.
