Location & Map
- When – Sept. 2020
- Weather – Warm and breezy
Facilities
- Notes
- This is a tale of two parks… One that ‘is’ and one that ‘will be’.
- The existing park is small and the beach access is closed due to damage from hurricane Harvey.
- However, the ‘will be’ part is the new beach access and camping loops under construction! Yeah!
- Convenient location for access to beaches and Galveston proper.
- The park is split by San Luis Pass Rd.
- Camping is on the bay side of the island and not in the direct sea breeze path.
- Beach access is currently closed in the park, however,
- Public beaches are accessed by driving either direction on the highway just a few minutes.
- The bay side park has trails and kayaking areas for wildlife viewing.
- The pads space reasonably and every other one is closed due to the pandemic
- This is a tale of two parks… One that ‘is’ and one that ‘will be’.

What we liked / disliked
- Notes
- FYI, Google maps shows the park entry at the temporary exit
- The park roads need attention and we are guessing the bay side will be closed to camping when the beach side is reopened… and the roads will be repaired
- No shower / Toilet in loop with water and electric sites for RV and travel trailers.
- Only the tent camping area has facilities which were clean and operational
- Bring bug spray! In the evening, at dusk, the mosquitos come to life and attack!
- Wildlife
- Herons, Egrets and Pelicans were all within feet of the campsite.
- Media
- Houston TV, Radio and 4G services were fully available.
