Edge Of The Waters
2 sites · RVs1 acre · Port Bolivar, TX
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)

Camping near Bolivar Peninsula guide
Overview
Just outside Houston on the Gulf Coast, the Bolivar Peninsula area offers world-class beaches and plenty of nearby camping accommodations. While both Crystal Beach and Gilchrest are only a 5-minute drive away, campers can also head farther into nature and discover carnivorous plants in Big Thicket National Preserve, kayak through iconic paddling trails in Galveston Island State Park, and get a thrill when playing eye-spy for alligators in Sea Rim State Park. Snag a luxury cabin rental with all the amenities of home, or opt for an adventurous backcountry camping trip—the diverse landscape of Bolivar Peninsula offers it all.
Where to go
Big Thicket National Preserve
Big Thicket National Preserve offers 113,00 acres of land and 40 miles of hiking trails. Kayak down Neches River or Village Creek and take in the shorelines dotted with cypress trees. Head back to land and walk Sundew Trail or Pitcher Plant Trail to view native carnivorous plant species, wildflowers, and local bird inhabitants. Although there are no campgrounds directly within the park, there are many campsites nearby—some primitive for a rustic experience and some amenity-filled with full hookups, showers, and laundry facilities.
Galveston Island State Park
Sandy beaches, picturesque nature walks, fishing, and kayaking are all easily found in Galveston Island State Park. Explore its well-known paddling trails—Dana Cove, Jenkins Bayou, or Oak Bayou. Butterowe Bayou boardwalk is a prime fishing spot with an observation deck of the surrounding area. Cabin vacation rentals are available within the park, offering AC, full kitchens, and wood-burning fireplaces. There are also campgrounds for tents and RVs with water and electrical hookups, fire rings, picnic tables, and access to fish cleaning stations.
Sea Rim State Park
Immerse in nature in Sea Rim State Park’s 4,000 acres of marshland, including 5.2 miles of coastal shoreline. Enjoy one of the most unique camping experiences available by snagging a floating campsite suspended in the swamp—the boat-in dock offers primitive amenities and serene solitude. Other campgrounds nearby are placed firmly on the ground for those who want a more traditional experience. Some campsites are hooked up for electricity and water. Then, horseback ride on the beach, hunt for blue crabs for dinner, or search for alligators in the marshy landscape.
When to go
April is often regarded as the best month to visit Bolivar Peninsula, when it’s warm but not overbearingly hot, and there is little chance of rain. March through mid-May and October through mid-November are safe bets for clear skies and mild temperatures. The peak of summer is very hot and rainy. In winter the winds pick up, though temperatures rarely fall below 50°F. If wildlife watching is a must, make sure to take into account seasonal migratory patterns for birds and marine life. Spring is the best time to see them in their full glory.
