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.
If you happen to be staying at Carly's Bait and Boondocking, and need a generator, please feel free. However, due to us striving for a dark quiet sky, we ask for no generators if any other guests are on property. We are looking for all customers to have a quiet safe stay at Carly's.

This spot is so private, light pollution is so low the stars are stunning. The fish are active and jumping in the marshes. Birds everywhere. The beach is just across the property.
Host is prompt and very nice. We absolutely would come back to this spot
Two adults and a pomeranian in a tent. Be aware its native wild property, there are pokey things for your dogs paws and its humid as heck from about 9pm-8am

We're ready to go camping at Marc's place but we'll have to wait a few weeks. Broken and bloody toes are holding us back for now. Marc was gracious and understood! Can't wait to visit in a few weeks!

We cannot say enough about Alana (Host) and this location. This was our very first Hipcamp experience and we could not have asked for a more amazing host and beautiful nights of camping. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic, quiet spot to have some much-needed solitude. Lots of wildlife, an easy walk along the river, and beautiful land to walk around and explore. James is a friendly & welcoming host and my family & I really enjoyed our stay. Will absolutely be back.

Had an easy camp under a beautiful sky. The host was super communicative and helpful. The site was clean and flat. Outhouse cute and convenient distance. My kids loved finding the remains of the spooky trail on the property

Let me tell you, this private little campsite is awesome. It was easy to get to, the space was secluded, even with the other spot occupied. I felt like I was the only person there! The creek is close by but I felt like I had to almost cross into the other campsite to get to it. I stayed at coyote crossing, the other campsite is much closer to the creek. Not the end of the world because I still felt like I had the property to myself, it was that spacious. The outhouse is clean and well stocked. Bring a light if you’re going at night! But there is a little light inside of the outhouse. I bought the firewood bundle, totally worth it. Lots of wildlife nearby that you’ll hear, nothing to be worried about. You’ll be woken up to sounds of birdsong and turkeys! This would be an awesome spot for group camping, definitely going to try to come back with a group of friends. Great place to be out in nature away from it all, thanks again to Alana for hosting me.

I can't wait to return. This is a quiet, beautiful, scenic area, and Marc is a gracious and helpful host. If you like to walk, the road is quiet, scenic and perfect for strolling or getting in some cardio. The bay looks like the Gulf of Mexico with its long, expansive view, and the morning sunrise is over that water body. Gorgeous coastal beauty is in every direction. I felt safe and at home on this piece of paradise and the surrounding region.

A truly wonderful campsite. Felt very private and spacious, the creek was lovely to be able to walk down to (about 30 steps from the campsite), great land, skull tree was very cool- felt like a museum of local animals but on a beautiful tree, was very safe, and was a great site for our dog. Would definitely recommend staying here
