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. Thank you Marc,

Weekend Trip to Rockport RV Resort By Rjourney

We stayed for just one night, but had a great experience overall. The park was very quiet, and we felt safe throughout our stay. There were quite a few amenities available that we definitely would’ve taken advantage of if we had more time. A couple of things to note: our site was toward the back of the park (not sure if the front sites are the same), and it was very uneven, which made leveling a bit challenging. Also, we didn’t receive any email or in-app message with our site assignment. We arrived shortly after the office had closed, and when I called for help, the response made me feel a little silly for asking—even though we genuinely didn’t know where to go. Overall, still a positive stay, just a few areas that could be improved for a smoother arrival experience.

John’s place was a wonderful getaway. We had a fantastic stay on the canal. The property is gated and our dog really enjoyed the space to run around. Fishing from the deck was a highlight, and the kayaks provided a great way to explore the water. The space was clean and comfortable, with beautiful views. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and can't wait to return!
