    Hey y'al! As always, we hope you enjoyed this visit to Galveston Island State Park! We also published a new podcast episode this week all about our trip planning: rvtexasyall.com/podcast/episode-021 .

    I was your neighbor the day you arrived and it was such a pleasure running into you two again. I was hoping my “Freedom” RV would make it into the video, maybe next time. You did an excellent job covering all the renovations. After seeing this I think I’m going to visit again before our Texas camping season ends. For those of you who live elsewhere, that is summertime.

    It's rare that I pull up a TH-cam video on the TV to watch together with my wife and we both enjoyed it. Your RV looks great. We're definitely going to make a trip to Galveston Island State Park this year.

    Great job covering all the renovations. Those concrete pads are awesome, and the sidewalk to the beach is great. Hubby grew up down there, so we have been camping there for many years. They really did a great job on this park. Great footage of the birds.

    Wow! What an in-depth and informative look at this state park! This will be so helpful for anyone, not just rv’ers, considering a trip here. It’s always a pleasure seeing what is to me, a new landscape never seen before, especially when it happens to be one of your favorite areas. And the amazing variety of birds.. oh so incredible. This episode was a fine accompaniment to breakfast and coffee. Thank you so much for sharing.. will look forward to what’s next!❤

    Oh, it’s so nice to have y’all back on track. Your vid’s are so informative. So many travelers are just sight seeing and taking pics. You take the time to research your travels and give us the history of the places you visit. You two have really taken the time to “stop and smell the roses“👏. Thank you for being so thorough. You really appreciate what you see. You both look great and your rig still looks new👍 and I love the fact y’all are animal lovers. I once read an article that said “ you can tell a whole lot about a person by the way they treat an animal”.

    Y’all did an excellent job of showing and explaining it all.
    I camped at Galveston Island S.P. back in the ‘70s and ‘80s.
    It was great then, and looks even better now!
    Happy Camping

    Great tour!!❤️
    Growing up in Galveston, I remember when the beach side had camping circles and bath houses right next to the dunes. So sad that so much land has been lost to these storms. But the island is looking better than ever with all the revitalization ❤️❤️❤️
    We drove through the bay side when we were there a year ago but the beach side wasn't open yet. The best we could do was view from the boardwalk beach access up to where the sidewalk wasn't yet paved.

    • @rvamericayall
      @rvamericayall  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep, they did more on the Bay side after you were there!

    I've been following y'all on FB for a while. But, this is the first of your videos I've checked out. Thanks so much - very informative. We bought a TT in 2021 and have been taking it out quite a bit to Texas State Parks. Looking forward to digging through your video library for more inspiration. Hope to run into y'all some day and meet you in person during our travels.

    Now that our daughter and family are living Cypress, Galveston Island is in our sites for RVing. We have done a day at the beach there, but not RVed. We did a Disney cruise out of Galveston this past December.

    Awesome! Thanks for all the info. Are there good fishing sites there inside the state park?

    • @rvamericayall
      @rvamericayall  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can fish on the bay side or straight from the beach. We haven’t done it but we’ve seen some folk’s catching some!

    Really enjoyed your vidio, The question I would like to ask is what is it like when you
    go through places like the Dallas, Fortworth area with your big rig, I here stories of
    people who are scared to death of the trafic in large cities, Any advice of how you cope with it.

    • @rvamericayall
      @rvamericayall  ปีที่แล้ว

      We try not to but when we do we first try to go thru on the weekends for less traffic. If during the week we go thru around noon to avoid rush hours!

    Hey y’all, I love your videos!
    I was wondering with the new renovations/rebuild of the park if the structures were built to withstand the cat 3-5 hurricanes?
    Thanks & keep the videos coming.

    I would be very skeptical about staying in this park in the summertime....WIth that Texas heat and no shade in sight, that cannot be good...Those running on Solar might love it along with the Starlink folks...Travel safe, be well

    Sooo good to see y’all again. I sold my RV…full time wasn’t for me. Now I’m car camping in my 2020 Chrysler Pacifica and LOVING it. Do you know if car camping is allowed at the Galveston State Park. Would love to stay a few days there when I get back to Texas.
