1 night at Nauti Pelican

If you're looking for the perfect camping spot that offers a blend of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty, the Nauti Pelican on Hipcamp is an absolute gem! This site is ideally located near the beach, providing easy access to the sand and surf, while also offering all the amenities you could possibly need for a truly enjoyable stay. The campsite is spacious and can comfortably accommodate almost any travel trailer, with 2 sewer hookups, 2 water hookups, and both 30/50 amp electrical connections. It’s fully covered, so you’re sheltered from the elements without sacrificing the outdoor experience. One of the highlights is the amazing deck with a picnic table and additional seating that gives you spectacular views of the surrounding area. The fenced-in yard is an absolute bonus, especially for dog owners—my pups had the freedom to run around off-leash, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The outdoor shower with both hot and cold water is a fantastic feature, along with the charming outdoor swing that adds a relaxing touch to your evening. The patio area is well-lit, perfect for enjoying the space after dark. You’re also in a prime location, close to local stores and Tia Juanita's Fish Camp, where the food is amazing! And if you're looking to explore, it’s just a quick trip to the ferry and then you're off to Galveston Island. Mike, our host, went above and beyond to accommodate us, even with a last-minute booking, which made the experience even better. I can’t wai

Weekend Trip to Bolivar Suntastic

We really enjoyed Jennifer's property. Having the fenced in yard made camping with our pup a pleasure. We were sure to pick up after him so the next guest would have a clean yard just as we did. The whole place is very neat and tidy. The camp is on a beach access road which was a popular thourofare, but the fence made me feel safe and more comfortable with the traffic. The outdoor shower was great for rinsing off the beach sand! The new firepit is a great addition. No one in town was selling firewood so we will bring some with us next time. Love the easy access to the large Ace Hardware/ grocery store down the road. Great for picking up things you forgot like food, bug spray or sunscreen.

4 nights at Edge Of The Waters

Loved having a fenced yard for our pup! Tim was great and had great communication! (He even communicated even though on a trip of his own with no cell service!) Nice and private with minimal neighbors using their spots even though it was spring break! Would highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to Bolivar Suntastic

A perfect spot to enjoy Bolivar. It was very clean and close to the beach, stores and restaurants.

Weekend Trip to Edge Of The Waters

Love Love Love! It was exactly what we were looking for! It is very simple and not fancy but has everything you need! Can fish from the grass and use the dock for crabbing! Has the green lights which is a bonus for fishers and the crabbing net was great! I appreciate all the detailed instructions before arrival, made the setup easy and definitely appreciated the heads up about the mosquitos! We didn’t see any until dark and we were able to utilize the out door screened in space for dinner! The fenced yard is great, we had fur babies and it was nice to let them run around! Not many of the lots had a full fence so it was definitely a bonus! Tim was a great host and is very accommodating! We will be back very soon!

2 nights at Edge Of The Waters

We LOVE this place!! This was our 2nd stay & we'll continue to go back. The yard is fenced & clean our fur babies enjoy being able to run around & play and I enjoy the security of knowing they are not going to run off. Tim is a great host from the time you check in until the time you check out. New fishing lights were installed this time & it was great. Don't forget your mosquito spray this time of the year!!

9 nights at Bolivar Peninsula RV Park

Loved the space and privacy here. IMO, the best RV on the Pennisula!

Weekend Trip to Edge Of The Waters

Great location, well maintained bulkhead, nice pier to fish from. Liquor/grocery stores are closeby and very well stocked, should you forget any essentials! We will be back again!

1 night at Edge Of The Waters

We had a great time here & our host Tim was super helpful & attentive. The surroundings were great . We'll definitely be back.

4 nights at Bolivar Suntastic

The space was just what we were looking for! Close to the beach and fenced so we could bring our dogs along for the visit without keeping them on a leash the entire time. The space was well maintained, and we found it very relaxing. The only thing I would like to mention is the utilities will be on the opposite side of the RV cover if you back in a travel trailer. We were able to overcome this since we had extensions for the water/sewer and power. I would highly recommend this spot for a family looking for a nice quiet place to bring their RV especially if they have dogs. We will no doubt return and utilize this spot again!

Waterfront RV Port on Bolivar Peninsula. Water, sewer, and electric (20-30-50 amp panel) Covered RV spot with a screen porch. Property is fenced and dogs are welcome. The screened has a dining table with chairs, and also stores some patio chairs to use on the property. They are really great to sit on the dock! There is also a charcoal grill and a crab trap for you to use. (You need a fishing license and bait. Chicken bones works great!) Fishing is great here... the canals have been dredged and folks are catching right of the back of their lots. Community fishing area is on the end of both Van Sant and Mabry, Mabry has a boat ramp. These you cast right off a drop to the intracoastal. Beach Access via community gate at end of street. Combination for those will be shared in arrival instructions. Spot is a residential lot... It is 60 x 130. Canal City is a quiet residential area. The back side fronts on the water. You will probably see more seagulls and purple martins than people. We have weekly discounts. Message me and I can go over them because the Hipcamp platform makes them difficult. It works out to approximately 7 nights for the price of 5. Be prepared: Bolivar has mosquitoes. This is the coast. If it has rained they can be really bad. The county sprays on a regular rotation but it can be bad. They tend to swarm when you pull in. Spray helps. We also send recommendations for what sprays work best for us in the arrival instructions. We do not offer refunds for mosquitoes. We have never found them unmanageable, and the screen porch keeps them almost entirely away. We are east of Rollover Pass. Easiest to arrive through Winnie and south on 124. Unless you are coming from Galveston or southeast Houston it is probably shorter. The ferry is fun (dolphins and such) but the waits can be long. Also: Do not bring loose propane tanks or gasoline cans on the ferry, they will send you away. (Propane on RV is fine, but that is all they allow) https://www.txdot.gov/discover/ferry-boat-schedules/ferry-rules.html
