Peaceful
Nice spacing between sites. Big rig friendly, level and full hookups. Clean and well kept park sitting along the canal. Quick walk to beach. Very quiet and peaceful. No attractions or stores near by.

Colorado River Waterfront Camping
Pros:
• Quick and friendly check-in
.• Large parking area that is rig-friendly for check-in.
• Knowledgeable park personnel
• Nature center with interactive exhibits and gift shop
• Well maintained. Daily we saw the camp hosts working diligently, even hosing down and scrubbing bird poop from campsites.
• Saturday morning 1.5 hour guided Gulf beach walk($5/pp) by Paige and Whitley. Paige knew her“stuff” as she was pelted continuously with questions and she never missed a beat!
• Complimentary early Saturday morning coffee and pastries.
• Along the Colorado River but you can hear ocean roar where the river meets the Gulf of Mexico.
• Level concrete parking pad surrounded by grass. Back-ins and drive-thrus.
• Two sewer hook-up outlets.
• Large concrete picnic table.
• Very nice and clean toilets/shower building in an elevated building accessible by a ramp. Must have code to enter.
• Laundry facility in toilet/shower building with code entry.
• Nice Colorado River fishing piers with fish cleaning tables with freshwater spigot and a super pier over the beach/ocean.
• Primo sunsets
• Bay City, 20-minute drive, for the closest Walmart, HEB and other retailers and restaurants.
Cons:
• LCRA $6 on-line reservation fee.
• Absolutely no trees or vegetation between sites which equals NO SHADE and NO PRIVACY.
• Ocean“breeze” made it impossible to deploy trailer awning.
• No fire pits, but if you bring your own with a screen cover, you may have a fire, if you bring wood as no wood is sold at this park.
• NOT A DARK SKY FRIENDLY CAMPGROUND due to way too many street lights throughout the campground, along the river bank and on the fishing piers. This would be a 5 star campground if there was more darkness!
• Complimentary LCRA WIFI was weak and unreliable.
• When the ocean"breeze" died down and the humidity was up, we were attacked by swarms of mosquitos which required us to heavily apply repellent in mid-February
• Not much in the town of Matagorda, basically a fishing village, and of those businesses, not many operating in mid-February.

Nice place to go RVing
Well maintained campground with friendly people clean restrooms and showers. Fishing right outside your RV. Walk to the beach or there is access to drive on the beach I would advise a 4wheel drivevehicle. I’ve been to this campground a few times.
