Goose Island State Park, Rockport TX

Stay Date:  Feb 2009
Our Rating:  GOOD – 8
This in another quality Texas State Park with a lot to offer. Two areas comprise the park; the water sites, located on the bay, and wooded, which are carved out of the heavy woods. Goose Island SiteWe passed on the water sites; a bit cramped, not very level, smelled bad (they're right next to "stinky beach") but have nice views of the bay. The wooded sites were very private, with a small entrance that was a challenge getting a 40' MH into, but opened inside into a large area with fire pit, BBQ, and pad with picnic table. No cable TV, but most sites have a clear shot at the satellite.  Verizon cell and Aircard did not have service here.  The facilities are extensive, with hiking and nature trails, boat launch and fish cleaning  stations, and a large fishing pier. Guided bird tours and photo classes are offered, and the staff is very friendly. This is an excellent park for both the retired community and families. The only improvement would be addition of sewer hookups.  Goose Island State Park
