This was our third time to go to Matagorda and now the park is finished but not complete. I was told that Wi-Fi would be coming soon and they are still getting the nature area set up (but it is open....sometimes) no regular hours yet. The park is getting better all the time, the mosquitoes were not bad at the time we were there and I was told that the fishing was great on Friday but it went downhill on Sat. when the cold front blew in. A great time was had anyway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This is a new park, only opening Summer of 2006. we were very impressed with the spaciousness of the campsites and there were quite a few waterfront sites. The fish were not biting but others have told us the fishing is really good. Our only compliant was not with the park but with the swing bridge to get there. The bridge master did not have the bridge adjusted properly, it was a low tied, and that cost us over $750 in damage to our 40' coach. Needless to say we will not be returning until a new bridge is built, they say in about 2 years! It is a shame with the park being so nice, also beach combing was great! Anyway, motor coaches beware the swing bridge! We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park was still under construction at the time we were there, rest rooms/showers and nature center were not finished but sites are very nice and completed. Great fishing both on the river and on the gulf pier, both are free. The grounds are well kept but the mosquitoes were real bad at times, make sure to take repellent and/or something to treat the grounds, the campground tries hard to treat them but it is a losing battle. Will definitely go back for the fishing. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
