Beautiful off grid dispersed camping on Lavaca Bay, steps away from the beach and marsh. Sunrises and sunsets are unobstructed from this location. Quiet and peaceful, yet just close enough to the local marina, shopping, and restaurants. Easy access to camp from Ocean Drive. Zero overhead hazards on property, ex. no overhead power lines or tree limbs. Excellent fishing on both the Lavaca Bay/ beach side, and the marsh side of the property. Bring your own kayak or small boat. Launch from the property or anywhere else near by. Shore fishing can be excellent at times. Bird enthusiasts will love the Magic Bird Sanctuary located directly behind the property. Bring your binoculars to get closer to the action. If you are looking for space, relaxation, beautiful scenery and the chance to wet a line, this may be the place for you. Carly's Bait and Boondocking will soon have a small bait shop. Until then, your host will provide you with bait, fish, and crab traps that will be located in the marsh. Feel free to take as much bait from the traps until the actual bait shop is up and running. We are just starting here, and more amenities will be available soon. Until then, please enjoy your stay, and "tight lines" to everyone.

At first we were worried we weren't going to have enough room, but we worked it all out and Man... This place is awesome. The swing under the tree house was so peaceful. You are completely secluded. NOBODY around. The pizza oven was a huge success with the kids. All around it was a very private place to just relax and forget about the week you had.

Please Note: We tent camp to fish so our experience was based on mostly fishing.
We had a great time! This spot is about 100 yards from the beach. There is a public bathroom and outdoor showers nearby. There are piers and small jetties to fish from close by. There is a boat ramp about 5mins away at Indianola. Marc has a nice little setup on the back end of the camp for some fishing and we were easily able to launch kayaks into the saltwater lake/marsh. Saw tons of big reds. Unfortunately, the wind (20s sustained & 40mph gust) limited our time and range on the kayaks. Even so, we were able to catch a nice slot red in the marsh that we gifted to Marc. Definitely don't recommend wade fishing back there due to the soil being very muddy/soft and is a major safety hazard. 1 step and your leg is calf deep in the mud (wouldn't wanna get stuck or sucked into the deeper parts of the lake). Marc was great and we definitely plan to revist in the summer.
