Galveston Island State Park – Beach Side

Location

Park Map

• Sept – 2022
• Weather – warm and humid, but comfortable on the beach

Facilities

• We have been waiting for this park to open after reconstruction from hurricane Harvey in 2017. We had previously stayed on the Bay side in 2020.
• Everything is new and everything worked!
• There are 60 concrete pads, all ‘back in’ and level. The driveways are all asphalt.
• Direct access to the beach from the campground and day-use area.

What we Liked:

• New facilities!
• All-in-one power / water pedestals.
• 2 miles of beach without vehicles.
• The shower has fans that moved enough air to keep the floor dry.
• The outer edge spaces have some privacy, the inner spaces have none.
• A short drive from restaurants on the Seawall and The Strand.

What we didn’t like:

• Mosquitos! The gauntlet of 50 yards must be passed from the campground to the beach without being carried away by the swarms of mosquitos! The campground was not as bad.
