Created in 1962 this 60+ mile strip of virgin barrier island is one of the last places you can " be alone" in short order. Easy to get to but,you have to be aware, this is wild. The waters and sand moving just as they have for centuries. You will see a few people out for the day up until the 5 mile marker warns you to use only a 4 wheel drive vehicle to procede. As I passed the warning sign I immediately began to strategically drive the sand. It could be easy for the uninitiated or less cautious to get stuck. As I drove further,10,15,20 miles the occasional long term primitive camper and/or fisherman gave way to the pristine unaffected coastal area. Magic! Go....if you can

The sites are all crushed gravel, which isn't as charming as grass but stays clean and drains well. The pool is a decent size, hot tub works, and the bathrooms are genuinely good; four individual rooms, each with their own shower and toilet, real AC that actually functions. No waiting in line, no communal chaos. That's worth something, especially in South Padre heat. There's a rec room that sits mostly empty during the day, a small gym, and laundry on site. The spot where Pier 19 used to be before it burned down now has premium RV spaces with better water views if that matters to you. Staff was friendly across the board, every interaction. It's a well-run park. Nothing blew us away, but everything worked, and that's more than you can say for a lot of places. Would come back.

Boasting lighted fishing piers, picnic areas and a playground, boat ramp with fish cleaning stations, and nature trail, there are also 35 full-hookup RV sites. These waterfront spots attract many "Winter Texans" a.k.a. "Snowbirds who drive their RV's down to Texas during the cold months and hang out. The park was created by Cameron County, Texas to enhance boating and fishing on the river, which it has done. When I came by on a boat touring the Arroyo River area, the parking lot was full of big trucks who had towed in some boats to launch. My tour guide told me the trout was biting like crazy this time of year. Also the area hunting is pretty good too: wild turkey and pigs, deer, and the exotically tasty nilgai, among others. Despite the ideal location for all kinds of outdoor activities, the Adolph Thomas Park is a little on the small side. This is a multi-use park and there's the rub: on weekends the place is heavily used by anglers, boaters, and locals for picnics and hiking. During the week, it can be quiet. The RV park is nice but I have heard that some RV-ers complain it is smallish- and cramped. Also, when I used the restrooms, I noticed RED ANTS all around! Yikes! For those reasons, I deducted 1 YELP STAR. But the mesquite growing along the river give the Adolph Thomae Park a scenic feel and the staff keeps a pretty good eye on the area. Looks like a perfect place to come recreate in the great outdoors to me.

Every so often late at night you might even get to hear the donkey that is kept across the arroyo. It cracked us up. DO keep the lid on your icechest bungeed down or you will wake to an enterprising racoon or two helping themselves. I love this place, Its beautiful and whether you want to fish in the day or under the lighted piers at night, you can't go wrong.

We came in for a hike along their shortest trail, which wound through scrub brush, mesquite trees and the overwhelming sound of cicadas.

The park has a nice ranger station with a gift shop where you can rent binoculars and get patches and other gear that you'll need to camp and hike along the park's many trails. Be sure to reserve ahead of time on the website. The park is quiet, other than the insects. When we went, it has hot as heck, and nobody else was on the trails. They do offer a few bird blinds, or places to relax in some shade and observe the birds. There seemed to be a planetarium or telescope or something, but the armadillos were preventing us from investigating this.
