Texas coast campgrounds?

[Hankjoe]

Looking to Visit Texas in Jan and part of Feb. Any recommendations for campgrounds along the water that are reasonable priced. We like historical areas and the water. We will eventually have to travel west to visit friends in NM so will look for campgrounds heading west through TX.

Any ideas of Texas campgrounds or "don't miss this area" would be appreciated.

Thanks Will check those out - and the LCRA Parks--

X2 on Galveston.

From there I really enjoy the drive to Surfside on the Bluewater Highway. Swing a little north from there, cross the Freeport Ship Channel and south to Quintana Beach County Park. You can see it from Surfside but you have to go a couple miles north to find a bridge.

Heading west from there on I10 there are a couple of nice LCRA (Lower Colorado River Authority) parks on Lake Bastrop.
