Nice Little Park With A Lot of History
Goliad State Park & Mission Espíritu Santo State Historic Site的点评
点评:Drove over from Houston in 3 hours, roads are pretty good. Arrived at office and they apologized but campsite 15 which I had carefully picked out had a possible water leak that might mean a work crew would be digging it up. They offered several others and we chose #1. The manager in the office gave us a $25 refund for our trouble which was very nice.
All campsites in the Karankawa loop are full service sites with 50 and 30 amp electric hookups and all are pull through. We visited at the end of a hot dry summer so brown grass and trees without many leaves left. Typical of most state parks there was a picnic table, fire ring and lantern hook; there was an open fire burn ban due to the conditions. Watch out for pet's feet as well as yours if you walk barefoot as those prickly weed spores are in the grass! The septic system looks pretty new and was so close to my drop point I only used one sewer line completely compacted. Water pressure seemed good, around 60ps
Park roads are good, the only drawback is the park is bisected by a state highway so you do hear road noise but it is less at night when traffic is light.
Restrooms are older but in great condition, men's room in the camping loop had 2 toilets, 2 urinals and 2 showers which is fine as there aren't a ton of campsites. Camp hosts were friendly.
The old mission is the big historical attraction here. It is free but only open from 8:30 to 4:30. The park has trails that are pretty easy and well maintained, there is an area where you can put canoes or kayaks into the San Antonio river. There is small bird blind with several feeders in front that the staff kept filled with fresh bird food while we were there. Try to see the green jay if you can, fairly rare this far north!
Goliad is nearby and has plenty to offer. The old county courthouse is beautifully restored.
翻译:从休斯顿开车过来花了三个小时,路况很好。到了营地办公室,工作人员很抱歉地告诉我们,我精心挑选的15号营地可能漏水,需要施工队来挖。他们提供了几个其他的营地,我们选择了1号。办公室经理为了补偿我们的不便,退还了我们25美元,真是太好了。
卡兰卡瓦环线的所有营地都是设施齐全的,配备50安培和30安培的电源接口,而且都是直通式营地。我们是在炎热干燥的夏季末期去的,所以草地枯黄,树木也落叶不多。和大多数州立公园一样,这里有野餐桌、篝火坑和灯笼挂钩;由于天气原因,禁止明火。注意不要让宠物的爪子扎到自己,如果你光脚走路,也要注意脚,因为草丛里有很多带刺的杂草孢子!化粪池系统看起来很新,而且离我的污水排放点很近,所以我只用了一条污水管,污水管已经完全压实了。水压似乎不错,大约 60 磅/平方英寸。
公园道路状况良好,唯一的缺点是公园被一条州际公路一分为二,所以会听到一些道路噪音,但晚上车流量少的时候噪音会小一些。
卫生间比较老旧,但状况良好。露营环线的男卫生间有 2 个马桶、2 个小便池和 2 个淋浴间,考虑到营地数量不多,这已经足够了。营地管理员很友好。
古老的教堂是这里的主要历史景点。它免费开放,但开放时间为上午 8:30 至下午 4:30。公园里有一些维护良好的步道,难度适中。还有一个区域可以把独木舟或皮划艇放入圣安东尼奥河。那里有一个小型观鸟屋,前面有几个喂鸟器,我们去的时候工作人员会定期补充新鲜的鸟食。如果可以的话,尽量去看看绿松鸦,在这么北的地方比较少见!
附近的戈利亚德有很多值得一看的地方。老县法院已经修复得非常漂亮。
