The thing I like most about Mustang Island is you feel very private while it's not so private - if that makes sense. You're not cramped up on a beach with a trillion other people and you could easily find a spot where there are too many people. It's not crowded and it's very relaxing to just sit on the... more

I've been going to Mustang Island State Park at least once a year for most of my 53 years. Indeed, my husband and I lived in Corpus Christi for 8 years, and the first couple of years we went to the park almost every day after work. We know it fairly intimately, and I have to say I'm a bit... more

We stayed for 3 nights in the RV park with our 21 foot travel trailer. You can't beat the location and the price. It was $16 a night and we have a State Park Pass so there was no per person charge. The park was clean and the park rangers and workers were very visible. The spaces are small, but... more

I have been going with my family to Mustang Island every year for the last 20 years, and we couldn't imagine spending our annual vacation anywhere else!! The area is amazing! There are always plenty of things to do and see no matter how many times you've been there! I even took my 3 month old daughter last year and... more

Park Rangers told us that the seaweed which covers the beaches, does not get cleaned off but stays there - provides food for the seagulls, etc. - eventually turning back to sand [not in this millineum] - not to mention the trash tangled within the seaweed and on the beach - needs lots of cleaning up for sure. The bathhouse... more

The beach here is gorgeous. Whenever we go to Port Aransas, we always visit Mustang Island State Park because with my Texas state parks season pass, it's free. When we visited in October of 2007, there were so few people around, it was like being on our own private, pristine, natural beach. There are lots of shells and sandollars to... more

From the early 'Watch out for Snakes" sign, to the kelp-covered beaches, and the seven oil rigs right off shore - this is not the " island on the Gulf" one imagines or expects. Getting to the 2d story bathrooms along interminable concrete ramps is torture. Park rangers were distant and visible; wish one had mentioned the tent-crushing storm on... more

I just stayed 2 nights @ Mustang Island State Park. The showers/restrooms need lots of work. Paint peeling everywhere... Texas Parks & Wildlife now charges an entry fee for persons 13 & over. I don't think they're using the new fee increase for any improvements. The campsite was nice - just be prepared to hike 1/4 mile to the restrooms... more

Spent Dec 26th - Jan 6th at Mustang Island State Park. Intended to stay 2 nights and move on to other parts of the state.

All around... more
