Goose Island State Park RV Trip Gone Wild!

Join us on our unforgettable RV trip to Goose Island State Park, located on the Texas Gulf Coast near Rockport! In this episode, we hit the road in our Class A motorhome, encounter a few hiccups—including a broken kitchen slide, a wrong turn, and even locking ourselves out of the RV—and still manage to enjoy one of the most beautiful coastal parks in Texas. (Episode 143) We explore everything Goose Island has to offer: hiking trails, stunning water views, abundant wildlife (yes, deer really do cross the road!), and even a visit to the legendary “Big Tree,” estimated to be over 1,000 years old. We also take you along to Mustang Island State Park, ride the free ferry, enjoy beach time with our pup Enzo, and savor some incredible seafood from local favorites like Charlotte Plummer’s, Moondog, and Paradise Key Grill. If you’re into RV travel, State Parks, coastal adventures, or just love relaxing road trips, this video is packed with helpful tips, humor, and real-life RV experiences. Whether you’re planning your next RV camping trip in Texas or just daydreaming, we hope our journey gives you some great ideas. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and come along for the ride!
