    Had such a wonderful time! Tried to stay in Galveston campgrounds but they were full, and I'm glad because we found this place. Loved the campground and how much space you had. Facilities (bathrooms, showers, laundry, playground, etc) were great. Even though you can't see the beach you are a short walk, and can hear the waves from your campsite. Fishing pier was an added bonus. Yes there are bugs but that's part of camping, bring bug spray. Will defiantly be back.

    Nice Rv park all sites have full hookups & are $30 for brazoria county residents. $2 more for out of county residents. We thought the beach was much cleaner than Matagorda beach. Outdoor showers & boardwalk to the beach. We were worried about mosquitoes but they came out only after dark & were gone in the morning.

    Cabin view as sun was going down with cozy campfire.

    I was feeling a bit beaten down by the urban sprawl so taking advantage of my school holiday I…read morerandomly chose brazoria for a visit. It did not disappoint at all!! I read online that the best time to visit is around dusk or dawn, but we only managed to make it around 2pm, so we decided to head on to Galveston and come back around dusk. It's quite remote so be sure to fuel up (nearest gas station is around 20 miles away). Around 2pm we drove thru the gate and after driving about 3 miles we encountered the discovery center. We got out and walked around. There is a paved hiking path around the discovery center which takes you through some of the freshwater marshland and a "songbird hike". The paved path disappears after a few hundred feet and you are left to bushwhack through the remainder of the hiking path. Because of the heat (most of this area is in direct sun) and aggressive mosquitos we turned around after the paved area and went back to the car. However, the calls of many songbirds were audible. From this point you can keep driving and go on the auto tour, pay attention to the signage which directs you into the 7mile auto tour loop. You can pull off at any time on the auto tour to get out and enjoy the view! Because the road here is not paved, I don't recommend driving faster than 10 mph as that kicks up a lot of dust which gets all over your car. At the end of the tour, you can check out "Roger's pond" which is a brackish pond. The highlight of the tour is the salt marshes which you can see around the first couple miles of the loop. After Roger's pond, you have to turn around, then you can take the refuge exit paths to leave the refuge. The gates to the refuge close at dusk and open at dawn-- we cut it close on our return trip and left around 7:30, but we were still able to escape successfully. We saw a lot more wildlife in the salt marshes upon our return, including lots of roseate spoonbills and egrets. However there were a lot of mosquitos at dusk so definitely wear long pants and long sleeves to avoid being eaten up!

There was a little guy under the boardwalk right next to the parking and picnic area and lots of large gators on the driving tour. Highly recommend saying hi... just be respectful and don't approach or try to feel them.

Our Texas friends had taken us here for a day trip on a Memorial weekend during Covid, and they didn't even know the name of the beach we were at. Actually, arriving at the beach was an adventure in itself. After exploring the Galveston area, we waited for the rest of the group to arrive. The friend we were with decided against driving her vehicle onto the beach. It had rained a lot the previous night, and there were a bunch of pools of water along the beach. We spotted many sedans and suvs getting stuck in the wet sand. Highly recommend driving your 4 wheel drive truck. One of my wife's friends had a Toyota 4 Runner so they made a couple of trips to pick us all up, and take us to the spot on the beach where they had set up our picnic. The ride through all the water, and through all the sand to get to our destination was a fun and rough one! Cool off-road experience!! There were a bunch of folks parked in their vehicles along the water line. Everyone set up for a good time. Vendors selling kites and balloons. There was even an ice cream truck roaming the beach selling ice cream. Very cool seeing families and friends hanging out and having a good time. There are no bathrooms at the beach. Fortunately, one of our friends had brought a pop up pod. One of those useful pop up tents that you can set up to use as a toilet among other things. Do your business inside, and have complete privacy. Beach was beautiful. Water was fine. Sunset was gorgeous. Terrific day trip with amazing friends we had at this beach (whatever the name was).

My first trip here was to play disc golf with my son. He is an avid player and has played this course numerous times. We started before dark and we're able to almost complete the entire course before it was simply too dark to finish. You may be asking, "If it's lit, why was this a problem?" The answer is my skill level of playing. Like regular golf, if you stay in the fairway, you can find your ball, or in this case, disc. However, my throws are not always accurate and losing discs in the trees where, after dark and with lights, it can still be difficult to find a them, could get expensive. Therefore, we quit after 14 holes. The course is open enough that it can work for beginners but has enough water/tree hazards to be a challenge if you're trying to get scores of par or lower. Bottom line - I do recommend this park for the disc course. It can be a challenge for every skill level. The lights help you finish your round if you start too late in the day to finish with sunlight. However, relying 100% on the lights could be challenging. Enjoy your round.

This stop on the highway between Palacios and Bay City did just the trick. For only $5, our family had use of the park for the afternoon, and an additional fiver gave us an hour of golf cart use. That's pretty cheap entertainment for a carload of people (maybe 4 adults and 1 kid or some combination thereof). Our 3 year old was most impressed with the motoring aspect of the outing. As our visit fell at high noon at the end of August, there was little chance of seeing much wild beasts (like smart members of the circle of life, they all had the good sense to hide and take naps about this time). We did get to chase butterflies and see lots of beautiful flowers, but alas, no gators or birds were sighted. We also were able to pass by ponds, streams, the Colorado River, and check-out some turtles and minnows. After about 45 minutes, we'd traveled every trail at least once and our boy was ready to go. The nice lady at the ranger stand told us early morning is the best time for viewing the critters, and we'll plan that for next time we're in the area.
