planning trip to San Antonio then heading down to coast.anyone recommend great state park in TX that is right on waterfront?no private cgs, we are park people :)haven't been to this coast and not sure of it and starting to check out info but would love personal recommendations. a bit of travel from san antonio is not an issue, just want a great ocean front experience.thanks alot for any info!!

We just stayed at Blazing Star not a state park in SA. We had a great time. But, a great state park north west of SA in Guadalupe SP. Beautiful place I want to go back there. On the coast is Mustang island state park right on the beach( there's a sand dune you have to cross on the board walk) I like it also. Texas has some of the best state parks.Mayor

thanks Mayor.in fact Blazing Star is the one that has caught my eye for staying in San Anton. Hubby said a bit ago he wants private cg for San Anton and park is wonderful for water front fun. cool. glad you gave it great recommendation. Will do river walk, boat tour, bike and Alamo and missions and all that when there but the beach coast is our draw. I am currently checking out Mustang. Thanks for telling me the cg is close to the water. a boardwalk is nothing to handle. close enough for us :) Seems I am on the right track with your recommendations and what I am finding online. Appreciate your help!!!!!

Matagorda Bay Nature Park. It belongs to the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA). Colorado River on one side and Gulf Coast on another. FHU, concrete sites with wifi.

Nueces County Park also has RV spots right on the beach. It is in Port Aransas and can be accessed from Beach Street or E. Cotter Street. We stayed there years ago and they had water and electric at the sites.

The state parks I am familiar with that are right on the Gulf are further up the coast where the beaches are not as nice as in South Texas. 1) Galveston State Park on Galveston Island and 2) Sea Rim State Park in Sabine Pass. Mustang Island State Park and Goose Island State Park are where the beaches are nicer. Based on the reviews I would think Goose Island would be preferable, but I have not been to either of these more southern parks.If you count "waterfront" as a lakeside or riverside, you open up a lot more options.
