Discover Galveston Island State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

You might find it hard to believe that one of the most popular recreation areas in Texas once housed a commune of pirates and outlaws. After pillaging and plundering their way through the towns along the Gulf of Mexico coast, famous French pirates Jean and Pierre Lafitte fled to Galveston Island to escape conviction. They set up a makeshift government on the island, where they continued their privateering operations — and the rest, as they say, is history.

Getting Outdoors

Park your rental RV at the state park campground and hit the water. Fishing is permitted both at West Bay and in the Gulf. Bass, catfish, and red drum are just a few of the species that might bite. You won't even need a fishing license to cast your line from the shore. Clean your catch at the park's fish cleaning station before frying up your prize back at your campsite.

Recent RV rental reviews in Galveston Island State Park

April, 2025

The room was more than adequate for 2 people. Having a bunk bed setup to utilize as extra storage was helpful for the amount of clothes, towels, and food items needed for a 3 week trip. Mike & Tammy were always helpful & available during the entire rental process if there were any questions or concerns. We will definitely rent from them again!

I can’t say enough good things about our hosts for this trip. Super friendly, very quick responses, and just an overall great experience. Highly recommend this RV as well. Good size, well designed and very clean and neat. Awesome experience

Mike and Tammy were incredible hosts, accommodating a change in schedule and allowing us to pick up early in the morning. The camper was fully stocked, providing more than enough space for just the two of us. They took the time to walk us through all of our questions, even those that arose during the trip. I highly recommend renting one of their multiple RVs!
