Overview
A brief introduction to Goose Island State Park
Goose Island State Park is a 321.4 acres (130 ha) state park in Aransas County, Texas, United States, located north of the city of Rockport on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. It is surrounded by both St. Charles and Aransas Bays. The park is managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
The park is home to "The Big Tree", a southern live oak, thought to be over 1000 years old. It has a circumference of 35 feet (11 m), is 44 feet (13 m) in height and has a crown spread of 90 feet (27 m).
The park was established on land acquired from private owners between 1931 and 1935. Civilian Conservation Corps Company 1801 did extensive work and built the earliest facilities including the entrance portal, concession building (currently the recreation hall), picnic units, roads, bridges, shelters, tables and benches and drainage systems.

Lots of Privacy - and bugs
The bayside is right on the water and has a steady breeze so you'll have many fewer mosquitoes but you'll also be shoulder-to-shoulder with other campers. The staff at this park are wonderful - go on one of their bird-watching tours!
