A recommended bird sanctuary in Texas.
Reviewed By LittlePaint - Urbandale, United States
This was my first experience parking my 25' Class C on a beach. It appeared that there are hard pads between the picnic table shelters that are now covered with sand, but I pulled up in front of our shelter parallel to the water where it was noisy hard packed. Two reasons... Best view of the bay from inside the camper, and my power cord wasn't long enough to reach the outlet in the shelter on the passenger side. Enjoyed walking the beach, the fishing pier, and the wooded campground. Don't miss the pelicans at the fish cleaning station... What a hoot! Great park. Very relaxing.

We saw a ton of whitetail deer close up, an alligator that was about 8 feet long, a yellow striped snake and a blue heron. That was just one-way. it is about a mile each way end to end. Nice clean concrete trail.
8. The Big Tree
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 49 reviews
Reviewed By TiffanyR0
Some people would think, it's just a tree, big deal...but this tree is so cool. The history, all that it's withstood, the size of it, it's impressive. I wish we could stand next to the tree, but it is surrounded by a wooden fence. It's an awesome sight and the trees around it are pretty impressive too! Live Oaks are some of the most beautiful trees. Definitely recommend visiting!
