Most the guard rails are banged up from wrecks, and never repaired. Theres no security (2 murders as of oct 2018) The playground is full of glass, needles, and trash. Burnout Mark's in the grass and on the pavement. The marina leave alot to be desired. While they have nice new docks, and a dirty bathroom. That's about it. The current yacht club offer a club house with nice bathroom, and a ice machine with membership. ($$$$$) The boat ramp/ levy wall's all need maintenance, and are failing in several places. No places to get food withing 10 miles. The umphrey pier close to Louisiana is nice but usually crowded. It has a small gas station across from it, and a nice boat ramp.

Very small state park, but I somehow like it a lot better than Galveston Island SP because it is…read moreless crowded. I read on everywhere to beware of the mosquitoes. I surprisingly didn't have to deal with any mosquitoes. What was very annoying was the plethora of flies. I sprayed myself and my dog, Sneakers in deet spray because they were relentless landing on us. Park staff was nice and pretty much hands off. I checked in and bought a magnet all from the comfort of my vehicle. I don't think you can walk inside the park HQ. There's only one trail which is under a mile long. It's a boardwalk that goes over marsh swamp with blue crabs walking below. Sneakers had a blast looking at the crabs. I had to stop him a few times from jumping down below to eat them. The parking is plentiful. I brought a picnic blanket, an inflatable dog bed, a small camping table, and my 2015 Yelp towel so Sneakers and I could eat snacks while watching the waves come in. It was very relaxing and peaceful. We both fell asleep on the shore until we were abruptly woken up by a family feeding the birds. It clearly states in the park map not to feed in the birds, but people are always out to break the rules. The water wasn't cold, but lukewarm. I saw several needles buried in the sand in various areas of the beach. Park rangers could do a better job at cleaning it up, but I'm sure they're more busy handling their day to day. I think Sneakers had a great time at Sea Rim with me. He got in the water and was swimming a bit until he got too scared to go into deeper water. Entry was free with the TX Parks Pass otherwise it would have been $3 which my friend thought that was too much money. It's not, but to each their own opinions. I had fun and will be back!!

Take the kids and see if they can find all the different statues (the dinosaur shouldn't be too hard) - just make sure you keep them from trying to grab the fish! Remember, you are in basically a giant greenhouse, so it's going to get a bit warm in there during the summer. Restrooms and offices are inside the lobby. It is free to get in, but donations are always welcome and help keep the plants alive. Be sure to check out the birdcage and the artwork on the walls.

Just minutes from all local refineries including Sabine Pass. Public dove hunting lands less than 2 miles, hog hunting, and duck hunting. There is a golf course less than 5 miles from the park.

The road noise is continuous however you're right next to I10 so it's convenient.

Note- The roads leading in and out under I10 seem reversed to me so be careful.

Claiborne West Park is one of a few county parks in Orange County. Technically, it's in Vidor, and…read morethe Vidor city limits stretch just past this park to Cow Bayou. But really, it's located in the typical Piney Wood countryside of far eastern Texas, where the biggest sign of civilization is Interstate 10. Drive in, and there are so many picnic tables that I doubt they're ever all used. Walk a bit to the right, and you get to a medium-sized lake with trees in it, it screams "Louisiana" all over it. Keep driving, and you get to sports fields where you can play baseball, volleyball, basketball, football. The camping area is to the north, tents only in a semi-primitive setting Very large pavilion to the far west, enough for a cookout for several hundred people. And then you look north. The Piney Woods have several trails going through here, getting you deep into nature. With the thick underbrush and frequent flooding, this is a place where you need to stay on the trail. Popular with mosquitos. Clearly Claiborne West Park is developed for large crowds. And, when I first met this girl who is now my wife, we went to the Texas Barbecue Festival here. But now the rating gets taken down by one star: Although you can easily see the entrance from the freeway, getting to the entrance is difficult. Driving east, you'd need to drive one more mile to be able to get off I-10 and make a U-turn under the freeway to get to the north side of the freeway where the park is. Driving west, I don't know which exit to take, but it's before Cow Bayou; there is an exit in front of the park, and you can't turn right to get there. This inconvenient setup means that the park rarely sees big crowds, and you're likely to cuss up a storm trying to get to Claiborne West. This park has lots of potential, and is developed in such a way that big cities would love to have it. The road system surrounding the park makes it difficult to get to. Oh well, more for you to enjoy.
