We stayed on the bay side and our friends stayed on beach side. Ours was much more space but friends had beach access and shelters. Both sides were great, clean wonderful facilities. Beaches were lovely and Galveston was a ball!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here! We stayed in the dry camping area which gave us a view of the ocean out of our front window & you can hear the waves. The beach was about a 2 minute walk. All sites, including the dry camp area, are concrete & plenty of width. Our Class A is 45’ which required us to park our toad perpendicular in the site.
We did not use the restrooms or showers. Check-in was fairly easy but with only 1 entrance this could take a while if there is a backup. Also, if you leave the park you have to pass back thru here even with a vehicle pass. The park is just off the highway but highway noise is not too bad. The dump station is a single site which can have a line. The dry camp area has a fresh water spigot at the entrance.
Our cost included a $70 renewal of the Texas State Parks Pass.

Clean restrooms and showers. Platforms for tents is such a cool idea. Hopefully we can find more parks that have these in Texas.

So first I have a few rants....this is a really nice park and well kept but...I think the person who designed it was not a camper! There are bathrooms down by the day use area, along with showers/foot showers to rinse sand as you come off the beach.

So first I have a few rants....this is a really nice park and well kept but...I think the person who designed it was not a camper! There are bathrooms down by the day use area, along with showers/foot showers to rinse sand as you come off the beach. The only other bathrooms are in the center of the park where all the hookup sites are! There are NO bathrooms close to the tent area or the primitive area, and no showers/foot showers as you come off the beach.
Next rant...I was in the primitive area, living off my solar, no generator. It was awesome out there to listen to the waves, birds, etc....UNTIL a truck pulls in right next to me (there was nobody else camping out there) and just sits in the truck and runs it non stop! It is a loud truck! I finally go out and the guy says his wife can't handle the heat! To make a long story short, I went to the office and talked to Kyle, Assistant Superintendent. He says they are not breaking any rules unless he runs it after 10pm. I said but I can't even sit outside now! Why does he get to enjoy his spot but now I can't? He did not seem to care that I was VERY upset and told me I could move (and pay more $$) or I can leave!! Nice customer service!! The guy/wife sat in that truck for 12 + hours with it running and the ac on and then finally left!!
Other than that I enjoyed my stay. The beach was right there and nobody was on that part of the beach!! Cost was $15 a night plus $5 day fee.

Love stopping here. Sites with elec & water, or dry camping at half the rate. Also tent sites. Did not use facilities so no comment.
Only negative for me was the curb without ramp at dump station hard to use with tote.
Not many obstructions so my Starlink worked great. Visible & Cricket worked fine. Did not bother testing Verizon nor T-Mobile 5G
Great friendly staff.

Very close to the water and camping sites are nice and leave about 15 feet bewteen sites depending on how big your RV is. The new bay side campground has opened in late July 2022. We were there in June and stayed across the highway.
