Palmetto State Park

Due to the unusual botanical features of this area, there is a great diversity of flora and fauna at this 270+ acre park named for the tropical Dwarf Palmetto plant that grows here. It is also located on the Great Texas Coastal Birding Trail with more than 240 bird species viewed. Dogs are allowed throughout the park and the campground for no additional fee; they are not allowed in buildings, designated swim areas, or food service areas. Dogs may not be left unattended at any time; they must have proof of vaccinations, be well mannered, on no more than a 6-foot leash, and under their owner’s immediate control at all times.
