We had a great time. Took the family and three dogs. Has a dedicated fenced dog run. Very private location right on the Bayou. Has a great private dock with good fishing. Caught redfish, blue crabs, spotted sea trout, black drum, catfish, bluegill, ladyfish and alligator gar all in one spot. The hookups were in the perfect location and did not require a long 50amp cord or septic hoses. Surfside beach is only 18 minutes away for your beach fix and good food. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Great host and great spot.

Small RV park very well kept has nice docks for fishing and close to the beach. Pads are oversized so plenty of room for most RVs.

We had a great time camping here. It was right by the beach which was perfect. We did a lot of fishing so it was nice to have the ocean right there. You really can't beat the value. We would definitely come here again.

We had the best time fishing, swimming, and relaxing at Camp Nadur. We are already planning our next visit. Even on a very busy holiday weekend it was SO peaceful. Shockingly we had the beach to ourself most of the time. It’s a fantastic spot! Thanks Kirk and Emily for sharing your place.

Great getaway spot to enjoy the beach and watch the boats come in. I didn't have a good experience on my own equipment part and didn't get to stay the full stint that I wanted to. But the kind people Emily and her husband Kirk they refunded me for the days I didn't even stay. I highly recommend them!

This is a really nice private, quiet neighborhood and place to stay. We enjoyed 3 nights here. Our kids had lots of fun finding neat shells ,flying their kite, and going for walks! It’s a very friendly place to relax with the sounds of the ocean only a short distance away! Thank you!

If you enjoy nature and solitude, it's a great place. Nice access point to miles of beach with not a sole in sight. Great communication from the owners. Incredible trip!

Tjona and family went above and beyond making sure we felt welcome, from inviting us in for a home cooked meal, to helping us get our bus unstuck after a few days of rain. Can't wait to visit again to see all the renovations they have coming!

I had 2 back-to-back reservations so fortunately I get to leave 2 reviews 😀. When I visited camp it was indeed an unusually high tide caused by a disturbance in the Gulf of Mexico pushing a lot more water up than usual but Camp was still high and dry. A few days later a North Wind pushed in and sent the water back where it belongs allowing me to walk with boots on over to the gulf Shoreline to get some fishing in right in front of the camp. Bring any food with you that you will need because there's not much available in town except for a dollar general which is surprisingly well stocked with food and produce. If you like you can search YouTube for Dollar "General walkthrough Sargeant Texas" to see everything they have to offer locally. Fresh produce arrives Tuesdays and Saturdays so get there early if you need it because the whole town shows up. I also highly recommend joining the savings sargeant FB page before your trip which can provide excellent local information. Excellent place to camp and don't forget the mosquito spray :-)

Camp Nudar was perfect for me this past week. I took my Bed-over-cab truck bed camper down there pulling my Waverunner to do some fishing. The hosts were VERY easy to contact through the HipcampCamp app, very pleasant and professional and accommodating. Cant beat the price on this down there either for an Oceanfront campsight. 30 and 50 amp service is setup on the East side of the site so bring your longer extension cord for more flexibility on how deep into the site you can back in. I only had a 30' and parked exactly where I wanted to bt I have a fairly compact rig. Site is reasonably level on crushed stone that was very stable for me in my 14,000 lb dually with the camper loaded even after a massive rainstorm. I had small boards under my camper legs that did not dig in one bit after almost an entire week so it was perfect for my 1200 lbs per camper leg free standing on it. The driveway is a good length if you happen to have a spare vehicle that needs to parked in front of your camper...and then some. Perfect water pressure on the hose bib according to my pressure meter and breaker never tripped. Bring some rubber boots or reef boots and you can easily walk from the camp the 75' or so to the big granite blocks that line the Gulf shore. Bring a surf rod to get past the first few Breakers to the deeper water for fishing. Less than 5 minutes from Joey's boat launch ($5 to launch). Great site and a perfect place for a weeks getaway! Thanks for the memories!
