Bathroom access differs by location, with some cabins featuring private facilities while others require guests to use nearby campground restrooms.

Nice small RV Park
Port Lavaca KOA Review Rating: 5 stars. I recently spent a few days at the Port Lavaca KOA, and overall, it was a great experience with just a couple of minor drawbacks.
Location and Ambiance:
The KOA is situated in a remote and quiet area, perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The peaceful atmosphere made it easy to relax and unwind. I particularly enjoyed the serene surroundings; it's a fantastic spot for fishing, and I was able to catch some great fish right from the shore and pier.
Accommodations and Service:
One of the highlights of my stay was the generous upgrade to my site at no extra charge! The staff were friendly and accommodating, which definitely enhanced my experience. I appreciated their willingness to go the extra mile to ensure I had a pleasant stay.
Fishing:
If you're into fishing, this spot is a dream! The waters are teeming with fish, and I spent several enjoyable hours casting lines and reeling in my catches. It was great to have such easy access to fishing right from the campground. As a bonus a pod of dolphins visited the site in the evening adding to the atmosphere.
Drawbacks:
The only issues I encountered were related to the journey and the campsite itself. The road leading to the KOA was a bit rough in places, which can be a concern if you’re towing a trailer or driving a low-clearance vehicle. At the time the roads were being worked on, so maybe its better now. Additionally, the sites along the water can feel a bit tight, making it difficult for larger RVs to maneuver comfortably. If you're planning to stay in one of these spots, be prepared for a close quarters experience. On the plus side I made friends with the neighbors easily. Also I did choose to take the upgrade from a much bigger site, just to have the water in your back yard.
Final Thoughts:
Despite the minor inconveniences, I would recommend the Port Lavaca KOA to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with excellent fishing opportunities. The friendly service and beautiful surroundings more than make up for the rough road. I left feeling refreshed and eager to plan my next visit!

Lots of history
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 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.
Jim P.RangerSplashway Campground
Awesome park with tons of activities!
Campsites are a little close together, but well equipped otherwise. Went for The water park, which is a blast, and campsites are within easy walking distance. There are a ton of other activities as well - putt-putt, laser tag, paddle boats, fishing, etc. also had curbside trash pickup which was nice.
Would have been nice if there were some incentives for the water park for campers - early entrance, or discount, but that would be the only thing I would add.

GuideSplashway Campground
Rocky Creek, Somerville
First time there and was really impressed with this campground. The slots are a great price and big sites, most have a metal pavilion over the picnic table, which was convenient. Sites are very level, wide and deep. All the sites have great views of the lake and even if you aren’t on a lake front, there is plenty of access to the lake all around the grounds. Paved roads which was great for bikes or even electric scooters. Wooded trails and lots of wildlife. Lots of deer all over the grounds in the evening variety of birds. The campground sites on a giant peninsula, which gives so much shoreline, which is managed by the Army Corp. of Engineers, so it’s well maintained and undeveloped. Multiple boat ramps and sites that are on the shoreline, which have a shallow bank, so you can Anchor your boat right off the bank and have walk up access to your campsite and boat. Wild Bills is right across the street, which has all the little things you may have forgot to bring or ability to restock on some beverages and snacks. It’s a 10-15 min bike ride from your campsite or a 5 min drive. Very convenient. Bryan, Tx is only 25 mins away and has a Super Walmart with Curbside service if you need to grab something more specific or a larger grocery order. Quick and easy. College Station was about 45mins away and it’s all easy driving.
It can get pretty windy if you book a slot down lower at the tip of the peninsula, but they will let you swap spaces whenever you want to if there is something available. The campsite up the hill are pretty protected from the wind, so regardless of the wind they have options if it’s more than what you want to deal with. Definitely my place to camp when visiting Somerville. They also let me check-in early when the previous camper left early, so I really appreciated that as well.

Nicely equipped RV park right on water. Paid a few more dollars to have a pull thru site with FHU, cable & level concrete pad to pull on to. Nice big bathrooms with showers, laundry, pool, playground, gym room, small fenced dog run and large heated community room. No pets allowed in laundry/community room.

Seasonal flooding occurs in low-lying areas, particularly from May to October, affecting campsite conditions at waterside locations.
What to do
Fishing opportunities: Coleto Creek Reservoir and Park provides bank fishing access and boat ramps for anglers.

What campers like
Waterfront sites: Many camping cabins near Victoria feature direct water access. At Brackenridge Recreation Complex, a visitor shared, "Our spot was directly on the water which is very calming, had the pleasure of gazing at the sunset over the water. Also awoke to a herd of deer grazing in our back yard."

What you should know

Wildlife education: Turn wildlife sightings into learning opportunities. At Twin Lakes RV Park, families can explore the "pond in the middle of property" while Brackenridge offers regular deer sightings.

Tips from RVers
Site selection: Choose cabin locations based on size and privacy needs. At Coleto Creek Reservoir, a camper advised, "Former Texas State Park so most campsites are short in length. We saw numerous 25ft and bigger rigs struggling to back into sites and then the front of their rig was right on roadway."
Seasonal timing: Consider visiting outside peak summer season. According to a visitor at Texana Park, "They have deer and bathrooms and showers parks for the kids fishing you can bring a small pool for the little ones." Lower occupancy rates in spring and fall mean more privacy.
Amenity verification: Confirm what amenities are included with cabin reservations. A camper at Splashway noted, "The golf carts also are really expensive. Just for a 4 seater it was $114 a day. They allow you to bring your own golf carts or side by sides but no four wheelers."
