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.

The RV was perfect no issues at all. The 31-foot class C was easy to drive and has all the amenities listed. The host was excellent they showed us around the RV in preparation for our trip. The pickup and drop off was smooth and in a very quiet and safe area.

Owner was great with communication and messaged us promptly when we had any questions. He have great directions and did an awesome job of explaining everything. The rv was in good condition. AC was nice and cold. Bed was comfortable and big. Wi-fi connection worked great when our phones had no signal. Owner was also flexible with pick up and drop off. Overall we had a great time in our weekend getaway.

My wife and I embarked on a ten-day road trip to visit our children in the Denver area and subsequently rendezvous with our golfing buddies and fellow campers in South Fork, Colorado. While I have owned a motorhome in the past, this was my wife’s first experience with an RV. We both had an exceptional trip.
This new Class C motorhome provided us with a comfortable, safe, and unique environment to explore some of the country’s most breathtaking scenery. Notably, we were able to witness the headwaters of the Rio Grande River and enjoy a couple of rounds of golf at the renowned Rio Grande Club in South Fork. (See photos)
Our hosts, Anita and Jay, were incredibly accommodating. They promptly responded to all our inquiries throughout the trip.
We eagerly anticipate another spectacular trip in the future.
Thank you, Anita and Jay!
