Location & Map
- When – January 2019
- Weather – 70’s & 50’s
Facilities
- Level hard-pack (chip seal) pads for RV and trailers.
- Most spaces are back-in and many have ‘T’ or ‘Y’ areas for parking your tow or towed vehicle.
- Recycling bins for aluminum cans were near most dumpsters.
- A nice picnic area and large overflow parking lot with sidewalks to the beach.
- There are two separate dump stations on the roads to the camp areas and not located in the camping areas.
- Two restroom buildings with showers, (maybe four when the island camp areas are reopened).
- A fish cleaning station is available and the local pelicans will help!
What we liked / disliked
- The park was very clean, quiet and walkable.
- There is a nice birding area near one of the shower buildings for attracting and encouraging birds to become accustomed to the human activity.
- We noted there were several park hosts and a separate birding host with planned bird walks and talks.
- The staff were very helpful and upon check-in, allowed you to drive through the area to pick your space from the available pads
- The Big Tree live oak is separate from the park, (about 2 miles walk/ride on a public road). There is a loop road that takes you along the bay for a way to stay off the main roads if you are walking or biking. (Google Maps can be your friend)
- Media – Local TV stations from Corpus Christi and Victoria are available.
