  • When – November 2018
  • Weather – Beautiful 75F days and 50F night

Facilities

  • The staff were very friendly and in-fact guided us to a good parking place with nice shade.  The site is circled on the map below.  One note, the tree roots have grown up to the parking pads and it made for some tricky walking maneuvers, (watch your step in the dark 🙂 ).
  • We watched one family park an extra long trailer with some difficulty, (read – one dent later), because of the wooden posts lining the parking pads.  If you are towing anything longer than 22-24ft, you might find the spaces tight.
  • The pads were level and I think most were concrete.
  • The lake supports all water activities.  The dock was busy with fisherman, (and hungry herons and egrets).
  • The camping area was generally quiet, however the boat ramp was busy and the jet skis were a bit noisy by mid-morning on a weekend day.
  • The dump station had easy access with space for two rigs and no waiting.  The dumpsters were located near the  restrooms.  The showers were located in the adjacent loop and easy access to all sites if needed.

What we liked / disliked

  • The park is very well kept and has some nice trails for some easy hikes.  One trail had a bird hide and seed available to attract some of the local residents.  
  • The ducks, herons, great egrets and deer were everywhere!  It was fun to see and enjoy.
  • Media – Local TV stations available from Corpus Christi
