Stayed here with my family of 3 and dogs. We will coming back and soon. Great park, clean and very peaceful feeling. We didn’t use the bathhouse as we stayed in our travel trailer but everything else was perfect. RV sites are mostly leveled in a pull through paved and concrete pad but is mostly dirt. Must of them have a picnic table in concrete slab and with aluminum shelter so you don’t have the sun on top of you while eating outside. We stayed in site 27, has shadows and no neighbors in the back. Be aware that you are camping in nature, a lot of ants around I recommend to wear closed shoes. Really amazing park.

I LOVE this state park. Fishing, swimming, kayaking/paddle boarding, boating, camping, boating etc. are all great here! but the GEM of this park is the AMAZING STAFFFFFF. We camp here a LOT as travelers and the staff pointedly remembered my name, my kids (junior Rangers now) and what our favorite campsites are. Dawn is the only gal I know by name but every single staffer I’ve met at Lake Corpus is helpful, patient, fun and gives you that good ole’ southern kindness. Thank you, Lake Corpus SP Staff for being you! Felt the need to give y’all a shout out.

Luzmaria Martinez | Jul 8, 2021

The park does have a main number on website to call. They do rent for a whole week. Cabins have electricity, beds, ac/ heat, outside water spout, picnic table and a lock on door. If you have more than one family going, I recommend cabins 8,9 or 12, 13. Theses cabins face each other. Plenty to do at this park but stock up on groceries and bait in town, there isn't a nearby store for 11 miles. There's an HEB in town.

Do we have to be there before 5 if we have reservation

Carlos Hernandez | Jul 8, 2018
Herb Handyman | Jul 9, 2018

Most state parks have an honor pay system. There are envelopes available at the gate to put your one night fee into and deposit in the mail box. The next morning just go to the office to confirm and pay for any additional days if you havent already paid through the reservation system. Make sure you set up in the right area, there are regular and premium spots usually. Dont forget the per person fee, usually 5 to 6 per person per day! Think about getting the Texas State Park Pass, $70 per year per family.

Shirley Gerren | Jul 8, 2018
Daniel Cortez | Jul 9, 2018

I have paid $5 at the gate just to empty the black water here locally in Austin. They didn't charge me the daily use fee since I have an Annual Parks Pass but I don't know if they would charge that fee if all you want to do is clear your tank. I am guessing all State Parks are the same but just ask at the office.
