Get the full hook-up at Jacales or Karankawa Campgrounds!

Here you have access to 20, 30, and 50-amp hook-ups, a group dining shelter, restrooms and showers, and the Junior Olympic Swimming Pool so you can perfect that front stroke before hitting the San Antonio River. Campsites include a picnic table, and are trailer and motorhome-friendly! The San Antonio River is a soothing soundtrack when you stay at Vaquaro or Longhorn Campground Camp Areas. Here, your amenities are few - water, a fire ring, picnic table, and nearby restrooms - but what more do you need when you’re in the great outdoors? Maybe some s’mores, definitely s’mores.

I recently spent a weekend at Goliad State Park, tent camping in the Longhorn section. The stars are magnificent and worth the trip on their own. I spotted a bat, an owl, a hawk, and lots of other birds. The bathrooms were clean, and there are showers in the park. Park staff patrol regularly, and I enjoyed my encounters with the hosts. Site 8 is large, but there isn’t a lot of flat ground. Shared water supply is available between sites 9 & 10. A trail entrance falls between sites 8 & 9, so be prepared for light foot traffic. You should also be prepared for constant highway noise, as state highway 183 is nearby. Worth the trip, especially if you enjoy TX history, due to historic sites in the park. Minutes from town for supply runs.

There's not a whole lot to do in the park it can be walked through in a day but the town has a brewery that was really neat and kids are welcome! Also you will have to check their website they do paddling trips on the San Antonio river that runs through the park I believe twice a year.

At Jacales loop, all sights are pull through and have full hookups with sewer. The other loop is way back in the woods at a sort of parking lot without sewer hookups and backup sites. The museum and especially the interpretive trail past the museum are awesome

Your guide to camping in Goliad Campground

Overview

Boating

Although Goliad State Park offers no launch points for motorized boats, there’s plenty of kayaking and canoeing to be had on the San Antonio River. With paddling trails, a floating dock, and miles of fresh, crisp river, there’s no better way to take in the rich history and scenic beauty of Goliad State Park than with a paddle.

Fishing

Bass, sunfish, catfish, tilapia and plenty of other species all make their home in the San Antonio River, making Goliad State Park a great jumping off point for those looking to fish. This map will give you a good sense of where the river is most accessible by foot, car or canoe.

Hiking

The best hiking at Goliad State Park is right along the river, where the San Antonio River Trail bends around the banks of the water. This trail extends halfway around the circumference of the park, and is a great outdoor alternative to all the history and culture on display at Goliad State Park. This trail can be accessed from both the southern and northern parking lots. There’s no way you’ll get lost if you follow the river and this handy park map.

Paddling

The San Antonio River is surrounded by lush woodlands, including native cypress and pecan trees. All around, you’ll find diverse birdlife including herons and kingfishers, and even the occasional deer or armadillo, making this river the perfect backdrop for a float. Kayaks and canoes can launch in the southeast side of the park and follow the river west for a leisurely six-mile paddle down the Goliad Paddling Trail.
