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

This is a quiet 5 acre property. There is plenty of room to camp. Also have RV hook-up and water. You will be usually able to see cows of all ages and horses on property next door. Location is easy on and off of I10, but private. Small or large groups are welcome. I do have dogs that are in a gated area behind my house.

Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge camping guide

Overview

About

Kick off your next outdoor adventure with a camping expedition near the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge. This haven, dedicated to preserving vital coastal wetlands, promises a unique blend of nature's splendor and rich biodiversity. One of the standout features of the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge is the Shoveler Pond Auto-Tour loop. As you navigate this route, you're treated to a visual feast of diverse habitats and the creatures that call them home. The Butterfly Garden is a riot of colors, with various butterfly species flitting about, while the moist soil units and Skillern Tract offer unparalleled wildlife watching. Alligators bask in their natural habitat, and if you're lucky, you might even spot one of the elusive six rail species. With strategically placed boardwalks and overlooks, every moment is a photo opportunity, so ensure your camera and binoculars are at the ready. Another beloved resident of the refuge is the mottled duck. With its limited range and small population, this duck is not just a game bird but also an indicator of the health of coastal marshes and wetlands. Its presence underscores the refuge's role in maintaining the delicate balance of these ecosystems. Camping near Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge offers both nights under the stars and the chance to immerse oneself in a world where nature thrives, and conservation is paramount.

When to go

The best time to visit Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge is during the cooler months from October to April, when migratory birds flock to the area and the weather is pleasant for outdoor activities. Summer can be hot and humid, with increased mosquito activity, making it less ideal for visitors.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast and prepare for the coastal climate, which can include sudden changes and wet conditions.
  • Be aware of the local wildlife; bring binoculars for birdwatching but also stay vigilant for alligators and snakes.
  • Restrooms are available at specific points in the refuge, but bring your own drinking water as there are no potable water sources.
  • Visit the refuge during the weekdays for a quieter experience, as weekends tend to attract more visitors.
  • Binoculars can be borrowed from the visitor centers, enhancing your wildlife observation opportunities.
