Choke Canyon State Park | South Texas State Park RV Camping

Choke Canyon State Park | South Texas State Park | Calliham TX
This week, we take you to a state park in the South Texas Plains, a park with a balance of a natural environment in brush country with a wide variety of birds and some of the most active wildlife we've come across in any park, but also a park with a focus on sports and active living.
This was our first visit to Choke Canyon State Park and the park surprised us in so many ways. We spent an entire week relaxing and enjoying all that Choke Canyon has to offer. We look forward to our next visit.
Choke Canyon State Park is located in South Texas halfway between Corpus Christi and San Antonio between the towns of Three Rivers and Tilden. This Texas State Park offers RV camping, tent camping and shelter cabins on the Choke Canyon Reservoir.

If you'd like to see all of the details on this park and a TON of pictures, check out our Choke Canyon State Park Visitors' Guide: rvtexasyall.com/region-south-texas/campgrounds/choke-canyon-state-park . Thanks for watching!

[@rastersplatter]

I would have never considered this park without your video. Thanks for sharing!

[@klem2too]

Thank you so much for this video! It really helped me say YES to this park. Looking forward to my first camping out there!

[@jdeso3]

Knowing if the trails are handicap accessible is important to me and I really enjoy getting that information

[@garyb4929]

Wow, talk about Reminiscent. I went fishing on Choke Canyon , just days after it 1st opened in 80s. Boat. launch is West of campgrounds, up river & had to cut your way through trees, get to river channel. Your spring arrival, may not have seen the awesome & huge bucks that hang there in winter, plush all the wildlife. Unfortunately, it's been over 15 yrs since was last there, but it's a awesome place & hope to return one day. Thank you for making this trip.

[@rvamericayall]

Wow, thanks for sharing your experience, always love hearing others experience’s in our awesome parks. Thanks

[@goofinOff235]

I am getting ready to come to Texas from Illinois to do some tent camping and lots of fishing. I am tossed up between here and Sam Rayburn. This has been the best video I have seen about the camping parks, I really enjoyed it. Thanks a lot.

[@jimroles1478]

We were there last fall. Great campground, plenty of deer, turkey, javelina, and ferrel pigs. Facilities were clean and sites were spacious. Great video! Thanks.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Jim

[@mschroller]

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks William, we really enjoy making them!

[@dontroxell8596]

We enjoyed Choke Canyon a lot. We were there last May and saw 50 different birds. We went for the Green Jay but we’re surprised but many different Warblers. Glad y’all liked your stay

[@rvamericayall]

That’s really awesome!

[@globemaster2356]

Very nice. Thank you for the review

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks

[@kathleenchildress1674]

It was so much fun meeting you all while we camped at this great park! We enjoyed watching the video and "reliving" the park. We will be back!

[@rvamericayall]

We enjoyed meeting y’all as well! Thanks for watching.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Bill

[@amberlogan184]

Pedernales has a bird sanctuary too. It’s a beautiful TX State Park. Hope y’all eventually get there. I think y’all would really enjoy Pedernales.

[@rvamericayall]

We will, had plans there before & had to cancel them. Thanks

[@davidoverholt251]

Thanks

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks

[@BenNstyle]

Good morning y’all ☕️! Just dropping in to say hey and also to let you know we love the relaxing and informative videos from the home state SP! 🤠👋🏼👍🏼

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Ben!

[@andrewlabat9963]

Oh, I'm a sucker feeding birds. I feed them year round, way more in the winter when there's far less food..

[@rvamericayall]

That’s awesome Andrew!

[@58Geargrinder]

Great Story! One of my favorite parks: A few interesting factiods: There were at one time 3 TPWD units at C.C., the Calliham, South Shore (by the dam) and the North Shore unit. I believe the Calliham unit is the only one currently open. The North Shore unit was never developed, though there are roads and boat launches (which were never used). At one time the N.S. unit had a deer hunting season (black powder/musket only). Before the lake was constructed, the town of Calliham was located beneath the projected flood plain of the lake. The whole town (including the cemetery) was moved to the location where it is now. The Calliham Unit is one of the premier birdwatching locations in the South Texas. This lake used to be a huge bass fishing lake, (many fishing competitions were held there). The long parking spots next to the cabins were intended for the fishermen to park their boats and trucks. If your an avid deer hunter, make sure you don't have a weak heart when visiting the Calliham unit in the fall, you'll see some of the most magnificent buck specimens so characteristic of south Texas, (you can only look and don't touch:) You mentioned a lot of the indigenous animals (turkey, deer, beautiful birds, etc.) Plus, javelinas coyotes, magnificent owls (if you're lucky). If you're on the lake, watch out for water moccasins in dead trees sunning themselves, and alligators (many are huge!).

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks for all that info, we really enjoyed it & the history around it! 😊

[@fisherwomanforJesus]

We see your rv and wanted to say hi at Inks

[@rvamericayall]

Come say hi!

[@martintorres-rl3it]

Thanks for the great video, we just overnighted there on our way to Port Aransas. Loved the space between sites and will definitely go back for a longer stay😊🚐

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Martin!

[@bucketletstravel5190]

Looks like a nice park! Great review as always!! 🙂

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks y’all, hope your travels going well. Hopefully we will be in the same place same time here real soon! Safe Travels

[@myatlantictravel]

Just found your channel - thanks for this great video. Choke Canyon State Park really seems like a great place. We will visit it the next time we drive through the great state of Texas.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks y’all & thanks for your comment on Texas, we totally agree! 😊

[@stevemcbride2685]

We were there about two weeks ago.

[@rvamericayall]

Hope you had fun Steve!

[@mjuaz73]

I jnow this visit was a year ago but do you remember encountering gators? 😅

[@rvamericayall]

We didn’t see any when we were there!

[@roddjarmon2064]

Try Quality RV Resorts in Brazoria, Tx .

[@rvamericayall]

We like Quality Resorts!

[@rollingeezer]

Thanks for the intro to Choke Canyon State Park. I'm curious, what is that massive lens that you have for the Canon 7D?

[@rvamericayall]

Canon L100-400

[@gregpriddy8595]

Was wondering the same thing! It looks like a f4.0. Did you get the bird shots with it? Sorry for the tech question. I enjoyed the rest of the video as well. Texas should give you guys a knighthood or something for promoting tourism! ☺️. G

[@leonajameson8902]

Love the birds. Does this area get tornados?

[@rvamericayall]

Not sure but I guess it’s always possible.

[@dontroxell8596]

We were there in May of 21 and had a tornado warning close by but only got rain.

[@VernonWallace]

Great video. How many more Texas state parks do you have to go to have seen them all?

[@rvamericayall]

Around 50 but they are adding a few as we speak!

[@industrialexitstrategist2022]

Howdy y'all!! Another great video! Thanks for all you do! How do you keep your camera so stable while in motion?

[@rvamericayall]

Practice practice practice! Thanks so much!

[@robertvela7844]

Hey great video! Wife loved Stacy's E-bike. Could y'all tell us who makes it? Thanks

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks so much Robert! Our bikes were made in California by Electric Bike Company. We've had them for several years now and LOVE them! They have held up great over our several years of ownership. They have several models to choose from. We both have a Model E. Here's a link to the Electric Bike Company website so that you can learn more about them and the bikes that they offer. We are EXTREMELY happy with our EBC bikes! alnk.to/5F9HEgX

[@robertvela6307]

Thanks so much for replying. Just for info I believe we have watched practically all of y’all’s videos and totally enjoy!

[@arkansastraveler7698]

No sure but it sounded like you were saying that the lake was 75 acres, it is 25,000 acres.

[@rvamericayall]

Sorry for the confusion. This park has 2 bodies of water. 75 Acre Lake and Choke Canyon Reservoir. The reservoir is 25,000 acres.

[@christopherberry8477]

I just clicked to LYK, there are gators there. If you're scared of gators, don't go to Choke Canyon. With dat said, the water is NOT swimmable...

[@rvamericayall]

💯 agree 👍🏻

[@theresa8843]

Isn’t it amazing how much land the government owns?

[@rvamericayall]

Absolutely
