        Great place to stay

        Very friendly staff, down home type. New electric utility posts, clean showers and great location with Live Oak trees. Just over 1 mile to the beach. We stayed last minute on a weekend and we're taken warmly taken in. We'll spend time here again

        Friendly staff but gross beach

        My wife and I went for a quick trip and decided to go to a place we haven’t been. I guess we chose the wrong time to go to this state park. Nothing but misquitos at the campground. And sand fleas come out at night near the water. The staff was super friendly and the bathrooms were okay.

        Beautiful park at the right time of year

        Very clean and scenic campground. Plenty of space between sites if you park away from the seafront. I personally wouldn’t want to be right by the ocean as it’s just a 5 min walk from the more peaceful sheltered sites. We had campsite 115 and were very happy with it. Close to bathrooms and easy access in and out. Lots to see in the area, and if you want the beach we’d recommend Port Aransas which is only about 30 mins away. That beach is dog friendly and nicer than the closer Rockport. The short ferry ride across is also fun and free. Dolphins alongside the ferry. The only negatives would be mosquitos and humidity. Both were manageable given when we went, but only just. I’d aim for early spring or late fall to try to minimize these.

        LOVED this campground

        I’ve been to about 10 different campgrounds this year on several different states. Goose island state park is by far the best. This time we stayed in the wooded area. I didn’t think I would like it (I loved the waterfront sites) but I loved it. The sites are a good distance apart and have new paved driveways that are very level. There is a pole for hanging lightning and a campfire pit. There is electricity and water. We are in site 115 and I have cell service which makes me very happy. I don’t think the site numbers 200’s have cell service as they are father in. It’s quiet and dark at night. The site has woods and trees behind so it’s very private. It can hold a pretty big rig. Ours is only 26 ft but it can hold much bigger. This site is fabulous. The weather is great and there are tons of things to do in the area. Book it! We are coming back.

        Waterfront site is awesome

        The waterfront sites are superb. Great view of Copano Bay and love being right on the water. They are very level, have electric and water. The dump site is also great - level, paved, water hookup, easy to get to and easy to use. I have decent cell service on the waterfront sites (T Mobile) and no service in the wooded areas.

        Love it

        I have lived and worked here for 6 years now. Absolutely love the wildlife and birding. This place is very rustic and natural as possible. I host the Hummingbird Celebration site now known as Hummer Hill across from 219. This event is the second week of September for the big Hummingbird migration south.

        Recently stayed here cause we got in late and they were the only 1 open to take us in. Well lighten up and loved the laundry room. The manager came out to settle up the next morning and even gave us a free rv mug for our stay. Pet friendly.  Showers  were nice & clean! Wish the pool was open because we had to stay another night but we were told it will be ready soon. The friendly German Shepherd was a bonus since we had our pets out and seems to be unbothered them😳. We will be back for sure. Thank you for the pleasant stay.

        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!!

        Cramped

        The sites are back-to-back. Not long enough to park both my truck and 5th wheel. I had to park my truck offsite. Concrete parking pad with grassy lawn. Otherwise clean and taken care of. Small laundry room with old machines. Small dog park.

        Very nice place! We arrived today (1/15/23 Sunday) and were met by the on-site manager Rudy. He and Bob directed us to our site and helped us get parked. They were polite and helpful and said to call if we need anything. The park is clean and nicely landscaped. The sites are spacious and the concrete pads are level, clean and even. Neighbors are friendly. Looks like it will be a great stay here at Reel Chill!

        We stayed at this park and the experience was fantastic. They don’t have much to do there due to they are still building the park and it was winter. But they do have a pool and free laundry which was a great add. Management was very nice.

        Beautiful site surrounded by woods

        I camped here 25 years ago and it was just as lovely as I remembered. Lots of walking trails, some bird feeders and a great place to stay to go out to Aransas Reserve with Rockport Adventures boat tour. Captain Tommy knew his birds, not just Whooping Cranes.

        The tent site is a "walk-in" but it was only a few feet to the site. The bathrooms and showers were clean.

        Good luck getting your deposit back!

        Been trying for two months to get my deposit refunded. When I call they just give me the run a round. Campground was ok. Hot tub only worked two weeks of the two months I was there.

        I will visit again but not to stay. Just to get my deposit back. I paid it on time but they aren't responding in kind. There are many other places in this area. I suggest you stay at one that takes credit cards and fies business in this century.

        Jacales Camping Area — Goliad State Park

        Not bad for parking lot camping

        The Jacales loop is quiet and dark, but it's really just camping in a big parking lot with a picnic table, shade pavilion and grill for each site. There are water and electric at all sites, and each site has two large parking spaces.

        Bathroom facilities are old and small. Cleanliness was ok, but moldy shower curtains are gross. (Womens and Men's each have one shower and both curtains were moldy.)

        The bike trail that runs to town and to the historic locations was great. The park itself is a great place to learn about history, but we wouldn't spend more than a couple of nights in the Jacales loop while checking out the area.

        Peaceful Getaway

        Went to Goliad State Park unsure of what to expect. However, I was pleasantly surprised. My wife and I camped at the Jacales loop with a few friends. We were not expecting much given the close proximity to other sites but it turned out there was plenty of room to go around. The facilities were in good condition and the shower had amazing water pressure. Only downside was there was only one shower in the women’s restroom. Other thank that, everything was great.

        Affordable Coastal Bend

        Bay View is at the northern end of the peninsula where Rockport-Fulton is. It's a little out of the way, but still within an easy drive of Port Aransas, Corpus Christi and all of the barrier islands. Granted, the park is shabby-chic, and a little short on chic. It does have 1 functional laundry house, 1 functional pool and a large community center. The sites are large and tree-shaded, the sites are widely spread apart. The monthly site rate is SO much less than anywhere in Port A! Give it a try!

      • Crowded Weekends: Popular spots can get busy on weekends. A camper at Port Aransas Permit Beach noted, "Weekends get a little crowded during the day," so plan accordingly.

      Tips for camping with families:

      • Kid-Friendly Activities: Look for campgrounds with activities for kids. Brackenridge Park & Campground has a playground, making it a good choice for families.
      • Safety Precautions: Be cautious about wildlife. A camper at IB Magee Beach County Park warned, "Do not leave your pooch tied up unattended outside, as there is a pack of coyotes."
      • Plan for Weather: Texas weather can be unpredictable. A visitor at Choke Canyon State Park Campground mentioned, "We lost power for about 12 hours total," so be prepared for anything.

      Tips from RVers:

      • Check Site Lengths: Some sites may be short for larger rigs. A reviewer at Lake Texana State Park noted, "Most campsites are short in length," so check before you book.
      • Use Leveling Blocks: Many RVers recommend bringing leveling blocks. A camper at Goose Island State Park Campground mentioned, "The sites are very level," but it's always good to have them just in case.
      • Cell Service: Be aware that cell service can vary. A visitor at Lake Corpus Christi State Park Campground said, "Decent cell service on the waterfront sites," but check your provider's coverage.
