Bolivar Flats Dispersed Camping

Bolivar Beech: A nice experience during the week. However, there is lots of activity on the sunny weekends. I have heard that it is very crowded with campers during spring break and in the summer. Also, there is a gated community being built behind the section of beach near Retilion Rd. I spoke with two city officials with Nuisance Abatement. There is talk of instituting a 2 week limit.

Overall Rating: 4 - would be a 5 but for heavy usage of day users during sunny weekends. Many are great. Few are not. One child came behind our camper and helped herself to our collection of shells while her mom watched. Careful of your belongings.

We camp overnight and it wasn’t much people probably because is been raining every day but the 2 days we stay didn’t rain at all, so it was nice weather and wasn’t hot.

So honestly I didn't choose a good weekend to do my first camping trip here (memorial weekend) but that didn't impact the trip at all. It also helped that we've stayed here a few times and knew the area well enough. There were a lot of people but they were all polite and there were accessible bathrooms (port-o-pottys). The police patrolled often and the ice cream trucks did too which helped on such a hot weekend but the nice breeze off the water was amazing. The dogs had a fantastic time as well. Sunrise on the beach made the whole experience.
