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
