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.htmlWaterfront RV port on a canal in sight of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. You will see tugboats and barges passing by. Crabbing and fishing from the dock. Beach is at the end of the street, approximately 1 mile. The RV cover fits a 34 foot trailer that is 11 feet tall. The actual height of the cover is 12 ft 3 inches at the edge of the rig. Longer rigs may stick out the front because of the decking but that is not an issue. Contact with any questions regarding size. There is a screened porch that seems to keep the mosquitoes out enough to enjoy dinner in the evening. The lot is fully fenced and pets are welcome. 50 and 30 amp RV electric and 20 amp plugs are there. City water and sewer. There is no toilet or shower on site. 10 miles from The Big Store and Crystal Beach restaurants shopping, etc. 8 miles from the High Island Audobon Birding Sanctuaries. Cancelation: Full refund up to 1 week out. After that point there is a cancelation fee of one night rent to cover prep costs.

Lovely quiet spot (and fenced!)

33 ft travel trailer

Loved having a fenced yard for our pup! Tim was great and had great communication! (He even communicated even though on a trip of his own with no cell service!) Nice and private with minimal neighbors using their spots even though it was spring break! Would highly recommend!

Love Love Love! It was exactly what we were looking for! It is very simple and not fancy but has everything you need! Can fish from the grass and use the dock for crabbing! Has the green lights which is a bonus for fishers and the crabbing net was great! I appreciate all the detailed instructions before arrival, made the setup easy and definitely appreciated the heads up about the mosquitos! We didn’t see any until dark and we were able to utilize the out door screened in space for dinner! The fenced yard is great, we had fur babies and it was nice to let them run around! Not many of the lots had a full fence so it was definitely a bonus! Tim was a great host and is very accommodating! We will be back very soon!

Perfect for your furbabies!!

26 ft travel trailer

We LOVE this place!! This was our 2nd stay & we'll continue to go back. The yard is fenced & clean our fur babies enjoy being able to run around & play and I enjoy the security of knowing they are not going to run off. Tim is a great host from the time you check in until the time you check out. New fishing lights were installed this time & it was great. Don't forget your mosquito spray this time of the year!!
