For those that don't know, there is an abandoned airforce base on Matagorda Island. Flying over it en route, I got to thinking about setting down for a secluded beach camping trip.
Not owning a STOL aircraft with massive tundra tires, I started trying to find some information on the condition of the runway, if it was legal, etc...
Very little information is available, but look at this video!

Runway looks better than some of the "maintained" ones I fly from, and there is another plane (cessna, faired trigear) and a trailer on the ramp! And a wind sock!
I can't find any information about making this a destination. Anyone have the scoop?
