We stayed at Galveston Island State Park in Galveston, Texas. (Campground Reviews listing.)
A nice waterfront state park. We had the best site, with nobody other than some tent sites between us and the gulf.

Our review on Campground Reviews:
Beautiful beachside camping
This is a beautiful state park campground with nice, large sites and easy access to the beach. The concrete pad was mostly level (just a bit high in the front). The covered patio area had plenty of room for tables and chairs, with hooks on the supports for hanging a hammock or windbreak. There are no sewer connections in the campground, but the dump station is very conveniently located on the way out of the park. We camped at Galveston Island State Park in a Motorhome.
