I have resveration for Mustang Island SP and have stayed once before. Not really fond of it being a parking lot & not seeing the Gulf of Mexico from the campsite. With that said, has anyone stayed at Lake Corpus Christi SP and what was your thoughts on it. Sharon

I have stayed there a couple of times and found it interesting and scenic. Lots of wildlife in the area including deer, javolina etc. One loop right by the waters edge (electric and water only) is where we preferred to stay.Good luck / Skip

I was considering staying there and driving to the beach a couple of days, but we changed our plans.I also looked long and hard at Goose Island State Park, which looks beautiful, but outside of looking at the old live oak tree or fishing, there's not a lot to in the park itself.We still hope to get down that way soon. I'd be interested to read your report if you go.

I'd be interested to read your report if you go.Looks like I will be changing our resveration to Lake Corpus Christi from Mustang, DH told me what makes it easier on me & the 3 little dogs. DH has fishing plans with a friend in Corpus Christi. After our stay there we will move over to Goose Island for more days. DH & I like Goose Island staying in the bay sites. The tree area has to many bitting bugs & not much breeze. You might want to check out Matagorda Bay Preserve ran by the LRCA, really nice park with FHU's.Sharon

WE have been there twice (me, wife, and our seven year old boy), and are going again this weekend...had a great time! out in the middle of nowhere, in a sense...but nice camping loops, great access to the water (no need to wallow through mud or climb down a steep rise or anything), and a nice 'overlook' of the lake at the old CCC building from the 30's...have fun!have been twice to goose island...both times, ended up on the 'beach' side rather than on the interior of the park...basically parking right on a beach, with no trees or anything....bad part about GISP is that there is no 'swimming' access...although right on the gulf, there is a sea wall and I understand swimming is verbotenhave been into mustang island, but not really our cup of tea...just like at the 'beach' side of goose island, the sites are wide open such that you could, if so inclined and the neighbor's blinds were open, see what the neighbor was watching on tv from your unit...we usually prefer a bit more separation and privacy

Lake Corpus Christi is extremely low. Suggest you call the State Park and ask about conditions. Water levels are only slightly better at Choke Canyon Reservoir.
