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.
