This is our first time camping here at Goliad State Park. It has a very nice trailer loop with full hookups and pull through sites. The sites all have lots of nice trees and the loop is surrounded by a thick forest. Apparently this is just not that popular of a park, and so there is plenty of availability on the weekends, something that is not common in Texas State Parks!

The park is right next to US183, so the road noise is quite noticeable, although it seems to quiet down overnight. The road noise might bother some people. If you are tent camping, you will be further away from the highway and next to the river. The road noise is much less noticeable there.

We're along the San Antonio River. The Mission Santo Espiritu and Fort Presidio La Bahia are right here, so history buffs will enjoy the restored buildings and the museums. Most of the restoration work was done by the CCC.

We enjoyed hiking the river trail. Saw Winter Wrens, Carolina Wrens, and House Wrens all together! It was our first sighting of Winter Wrens in Texas. They have the "Aranama Trail" which is a guided nature trail with handbook explaining many of the plants. We've been hearing Barred Owls and we flushed a Red-shouldered Hawk at the Aranama Trail.

We'll be back because of nice facilities, camp site availability, and handy location.
