Hey y'al! As always, we hope you enjoyed this visit to Galveston Island State Park! We also published a new podcast episode this week all about our trip planning: rvtexasyall.com/podcast/episode-021 .

I was your neighbor the day you arrived and it was such a pleasure running into you two again. I was hoping my “Freedom” RV would make it into the video, maybe next time. You did an excellent job covering all the renovations. After seeing this I think I’m going to visit again before our Texas camping season ends. For those of you who live elsewhere, that is summertime.

Great job covering all the renovations. Those concrete pads are awesome, and the sidewalk to the beach is great. Hubby grew up down there, so we have been camping there for many years. They really did a great job on this park. Great footage of the birds.

Great tour!!❤️ Growing up in Galveston, I remember when the beach side had camping circles and bath houses right next to the dunes. So sad that so much land has been lost to these storms. But the island is looking better than ever with all the revitalization ❤️❤️❤️ We drove through the bay side when we were there a year ago but the beach side wasn't open yet. The best we could do was view from the boardwalk beach access up to where the sidewalk wasn't yet paved.

Oh, it’s so nice to have y’all back on track. Your vid’s are so informative. So many travelers are just sight seeing and taking pics. You take the time to research your travels and give us the history of the places you visit. You two have really taken the time to “stop and smell the roses“👏. Thank you for being so thorough. You really appreciate what you see. You both look great and your rig still looks new👍 and I love the fact y’all are animal lovers. I once read an article that said “ you can tell a whole lot about a person by the way they treat an animal”.

You can fish on the bay side or straight from the beach. We haven’t done it but we’ve seen some folk’s catching some!

I would be very skeptical about staying in this park in the summertime....WIth that Texas heat and no shade in sight, that cannot be good...Those running on Solar might love it along with the Starlink folks...Travel safe, be well

We try not to but when we do we first try to go thru on the weekends for less traffic. If during the week we go thru around noon to avoid rush hours!

Curious on how you guys keep your motorhome so clean. Do you wash yourself or take it through truck wash like Blue Beacon?

Hi Gary, We don’t mention prices in our videos because they can change. Here’s the park’s campsite rate page: tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/galveston-island/fees-facilities/campsites
