Best RV Parks & Resorts near Kenedy, TX

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.

Jake from the Dyrt here!  Less than a mile off the highway, this RV Park feels further as it rests along the Guadalupe's slow moving water.  Check them out and share your experience on the Dyrt!

I feel I got kind of lucky to find this beautiful weather spaces spot full hookup may come by once a week to empty your tanks

The bird sanctuary was extremely busy even though it was overcast and cold. Great sightings of cardinals, green jays, hawks, and sparrows. Duck season was in full swing from dawn to dusk in the neighboring areas. Water level is extremely low, trails are nice, wide and clean. Restrooms and showers were in great working order, clean, and fully stocked of TP.

This Texas State Park is located in Goliad Texas. This is in the south central area of the state between Victoria and Austin on Highway 183. The park has some great historical sites including a 16th century Spanish mission. The campground is situated along the San Antonio River. You can kayak along the 6 mile long kayak paddle trail or try your luck at fishing. The campground is well maintained and offers a nice range of sites from tent to RVs and small cabins. The sites are located along the river with no privacy. They have some walk in tent sites as well. The town of Goliad is a hidden gem with a rich history and some cool antique shops and cafes. We plan to stop again here on our next trip to the coast.

Overall, Choke Canyon SP is a nice park.  Large footprint in southeast Texas between San Antonio and Corpus Christi.  Good trails overall, however, could use better markings at trail intersections.  Choke Canyon Reservoir is large and the area we were at had very little motorized boat traffic, which made it great for kayaking.  That could be attributed to the low lake level and the overgrowth of hydrilla.  Saw a lot of wildlife, rabbits, deer, coyotes, alligators, many fish species, many birds and a sounder of hogs.  Sites are well kept and the boat ramp is large and long.  Could easily launch/recover up to 4 boats at once.  Lots of places to fish from the banks and jettys (but due to low lake levels, some are not accessible).  Will definitely return some day.

Camped in non electric site, right by 75 acre reservoir. Good birdwatching, walking trails. Only ones camping here. Electric sites full up. Flush toilets, no showers, covered tables. $22 for 2 which include admission fees.

The sites are large with plenty of room for kiddos to run around. Sites typically have plenty of room to park a boat as well. Each electric site has a picnic table with covering and a fire pit grill. Some sites offer large trees for shade, but overall shade is sparse.

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.

Very nice, isolated area. All kinds of water birds. 5$ admission plus your fee for camping. The tent area has no shower, but the RV shower house isn't to far away. The just tent area is right on the small 75 acre lake which has gobs of birds! Kayaking would be a blast, but the boat ramp isn't really "operational" due to the water being low. Several short trails that you can link all together.On the RV side it's pretty spacious and there are several pavilion areas too. Only issue I had was the day use crowd drives through the camp ground.

Each site is very spacious. Lots of trees and shade for South Texas. Bathrooms were ok. Lots of bugs but clean.

Goliad is next to a historic site for Texas history. The river is beautiful and during the spring time there are tons of blue bonnets that bloom.

We stayed here 2/13/21 to 2/18/21 during the Texas Extreme Cold and Snow event!

We had originally planned to go to Junction after our time in Lockhart State Park, but wanted to get further South away from the snow and cold. We easily switched our reservation to here although it was supposed to be full. Due to the weather, very few people around. Sites are huge. Had water and power at our site and we were close to restroom. We were in #108 which was also a Handicap site. After a day or so the water froze up so the bathrooms were closed as they were flush toilets' with showers. Luckily we filled our tank so we had water to use. We lost power for about 12 hours total but then got it back. It was down to 15 degrees a couple nights and we got a little snow and ice but we survived being from Wisconsin LOL

Also just down from us was a Bird Sanctuary where they put out fruit and seed. The Bird watching all over the park was fantastic. Not sure what's going on in the area where the buildings and nature center are, pretty run down and seem almost vacated. Saw tons of deer and feral hogs and Javelin  and roadrunners etc. 

Didn't plan to come here but really glad we did!

The sites weren’t too bad, but there were a lot of ants and insects around that’s even more than usual. Definitely bring a tent screen. I don’t think it’s specific to the campsite as there were insects all around town, or probably due to the time of the year. Other than that, campgrounds were clean and easy to enter. Historic sites were close by and interesting.

Close to road, 9 million dogs barking all around, loud music after midnight. Awful.

This 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 tone of Goliath 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 Goliath massacre. If you enjoy history, you're really gonna love the goalie at State park.

We stayed in a sheltered site in mid-April 2018. We hired 2 sites for 2 families but only used one of the shelters as they were large enough for us to share.

Shelters are unable to be locked as the fire wardens had deemed it a safety hazard as peole could be locked inside, so all external brackets have been removed. Fair enough.

Our site was nice and shady and really close to the toilet and showers (which were clean and always had paper).

The sheltered site have power and water...plus a ceiling fan inside which is fabulous to keep bugs off food (if you leave the door open or you have kids constantly in & out!)

There is a small playground for the kids - perfect for our ages (3,5 &7).

We did a trail walk one day with was lovely through the trees, but a bit hard to find the opening/start due to the map being different to the grass mowing.

The Spanish mission church and building bear the checking station was a nice touristy thing to do.

We also saw some leaf cutter ants doing their thing. Very interesting why they do it - look it up on google!!!

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.
