The Great Outdoors

Kingsville campers looking to explore the serene barrier islands along the coast should visit Mustang Island State Park. This 4,000-acre park consists mainly of sandy beaches, with over five miles of coastline to discover. These beaches are ideal for topping up your tan and taking a saltwater dip, and if you're feeling adventurous, grab a kayak and follow the paddling trail up to Corpus Christi Bay.

The park is also great for fishing, and anglers can expect to find over 600 different species inhabiting the Corpus Christi Bay.Another popular state park worth visiting along Texas's shoreline is Goose Island State Park. This 300-acre park consists of beaches and coastal wetlands overlooking St. Charles and Aransas bays. The park is superb for fishing, with a 1,600-foot-long fishing pier, where anglers can catch speckled trout, red drum, and flounder. The pier also features boat ramps suitable for kayaks and canoes. Due to the park's diverse environment, wildlife is abundant, with over 300 different species of birds living here, including the endangered whooping crane. If you get a chance, you should also stop by The Big Tree; a coastal oak thought to be one of the largest living oak trees in the country.Head inland and visit one of the tranquil lakes in South Texas.

The 18,000-acre lake is also an excellent fishing spot, with anglers commonly reeling in crappie, bluegill, and a variety of catfish. There's also a 400-foot-long fishing pier for easy access to deeper waters.
