We went to this state park because honestly it was the only one that was available on short notice during Thanksgiving week. We were camping with another family, and we decided to reserve the "premium" sites, but when we arrived we were disappointed. The sites were basically just a parking lot, we later learned that the premium meant that there was covered picnic tables. Besides the mission there was not a whole lot to do at the park. We were there in the fall, so the pool wasn't open. Our kids did enjoy some of the open areas to play football and baseball in. My family did not go on the mission tour, but the other family did and they said it was really informative. Overall, we were not that impressed, but if we went again, we would go for the normal sites to have more trees and a more private site.

Goliad is a small Texas city with an amazing voice in The Texas Revolution. A weekend here visiting the mission and presidio is relaxing and extremely interesting. Come during Christmas in Goliad for a "holiday" experience or market days the 2nd Saturday. There is much to do and lots to learn.

Much of the museum at the Mission is closed for renovation, so we must return to see it. What we did see was fascinating and the chapel is gorgeous. We were there off-season and had a "private tour" by a park ranger named Jared who was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. A "must" for Texas history buffs.As for the state park, we spent 2 nights in the Karankawa RV park and loved it! The sites had full hookups -- it was quiet and well maintained.

We stayed in a screen shelter, which would have been very nice had the window screens not had holes in them. We sprayed bug spray all around the place and stuffed towels and paper in the cracks around the door before bedding down for the night. I did like the fact that the shelter had a picnic table, fluorescent lighting overhead, and a ceiling fan. It was raining when we stayed, and it would have been nice to have a sidewalk leading from the parking spaces to the door of the shelter. The staff was very polite and helpful and the mission is an interesting place to visit.

Great little park along the river. The mission and grounds are very nice. The reconstruction by the CCC is a blessing for us to treasure. The park staff were very nice and gave me a lot of information on the mission and cultures of the past. If you like this activity it is worth the visit.

My husband and I spent two days/nights in Goliad State Park the first week in April. We stayed in Karankawa Campground with full hook ups. The campground was well maintain and had a nice picnic table, standing grill and fire pit. The campsites were spaced apart nicely. Jacales, the other campground for trailers and motorhomes, is for overflow and is nothing more than a parking lot with hookups. Mission Espiritu Santo is in the park and nice to tour. We attended two nice ranger lead talks at the Mission. The trails were nice. The San Antonio paddling trail goes along the park. We did not put our canoe in because the river was too difficult to reach, even at the canoe launch site. Presidio La Bahia Chapel, fort, Fannin’s Memorial and birthplace of General Ignacio Zaragoza are a short half mile walk or drive from the park. It is certainly worth self touring. Admission to Presidio La Bahia Chapel and fort is $4 for adults. The town of Golaid is nice. We enjoyed walking around the town square, antiquing and touring the old courthouse.

I stopped in Goliad for a break during a trip from Houston to San Diego, TX and back on a blistering hot summer afternoon. This park was a welcome respite.

Reliving the fall of Goliad is a two-day event, and you really need to attend both days. However, if that is impossible, Saturday night and Sunday are not to be missed.Saturday is living history day and skirmish day. It is excellent if you have not done a lot of living history. However, if LH is old hat to you, it can be skipped if you need to do that. Saturday night, however, is a must do. In the dark and carrying a lantern, you will see history come alive. If you have children traveling with you, it will be very impressive for them as characters come alive.On Sunday, you will make the "death march" which involves a mile or so of walking. However, if you can walk, you really need to see the brutal execution of Texas men to appreciate just how horrible this time in our history was. Back at the fort, you will see the execution of those who were not on the march, including the brutal murder of Fannin.At some point, you will be invited into the chapel for a short worship service and then attend a short dedication at the Fannin monument. I believe the morning is over about noon.As a Texan, I believe it is so important for our children to know where we came from as well as the price that was paid for us to live the lives we have today. These 2 days are wonderful, painless teaching tools!

We enjoyed the Ranger's narrative about this place. He was very knowledgable and down to earth. Wish more people could experience this place.
