Best Campgrounds near Anahuac, TX

There were approximately 8 boondocks here, there is adequate space to accommodate more. The weekends are loud and busy, during the week it calms down and gets quiet. There are also paramotors that fly over head, they are fun to watch.

Turn on to Rettilon road going towards the Gulf to get here.

General: Huge RV Park located on the Gulf of Mexico (not Gulf of America!) on the Bolivar Peninsula; a Phase 2 expansion will eventually double the size of the park. (We stayed here two years ago and it looks like some of that expansion has already taken place.) There is just about every kind of amenity you can imagine here, including many facilities and activities geared toward families. There is a 10% discount for military and first responders.

Site Quality: As would be expected in an RV park, sites are close together with no privacy/separation between them. Sites include back-in sites (some are very close to the road), lakeview back-in sites, lakefront patio sites, premium pull-through sites, and beach club sites. All sites are FHU. IMO, the lakefront patio sites are the best as you back up to the lake. 

Bath/Shower house: Likely the most immaculate facilities we’ve ever encountered. Staff was constantly cleaning them throughout the day. The showers were heavenly. The only frustrating thing is that the electrical outlet was located across the room from the mirror, making it challenging to dry/style your hair. 

Activities/Amenities: Two pools: a family and an adult pool (with a full bar), kids park, golf cart rentals (you can drive them or your own personal vehicle on the beach with a permit), a stage for concerts, a bouncing pad, ball pits, and a dog park. There is also a camp store and a restaurant on-site. 

This was our first time staying in a resort RV park and we were overwhelmed but in a good way. Our site was a lakefront patio site which we booked at the off-season rate. The park was between a quarter and a third full, but I would not want to stay when it was completely full. The beach wasn’t the greatest, but we appreciated direct beach access for walks and runs. Five stars for the cleanliness and amenities even if it is not our typical camping experience.

Beach side is very nice since being remodeled. Great back in sites. Nice electrical and water service towers at sites. Great walking paths. Electric and water sites; nice dump station. Close to commercial/tourist area. The beach is a short walk from campground.

Love this state park! Sites are nice and wide and level. Beachside has recently (past few years) been redone and they did a fantastic job! You are within easy walking distance to the beach and while Galveston beaches may not be the best in the world, it is hard to have a bad day on the beach. Just sayin’

Month long stay, $730, water, 50 amp. End of October/beginning of November the park is booked out as well as during warmer months. Half of the facilities washers and dryers didn't work. Staff is great about communicating lawn days and other news for long term guests. Trash valet and 2 free parking spots. 2 dogs parks, one for large and another for smaller dogs.

Stayed on the beachside & loved it. Concrete pads, clean shower house, picnic table under gazebo, leashed dog allowed on beach, close to boardwalk for beach access.

Great park if you want to get outside, but still want access to civilization.

Park is somewhat of a mix between wetland and forest. While this is an awesome ecosystem with lots to see and explore - take bug spray! Especially if going in May - when the Horseflies are out. We made the mistake of forgoing the Off and got eaten alive. This is our fault, and not the parks, though.

The park is conveniently located just outside of Beaumont. In fact, you may feel like you haven’t left the city until you are there. This can be helpful if you want to grab a bite and not cook, or if you run short of supplies. I would recommend this park especially for someone new to camping.

Me and my fiancé went to Bolivar Flats to camp out with our friends and had a really awesome time!

Great stop along our way. Nice staff. Clean bathrooms. Good hiking and biking trails. Campspots are well wooded. A little wet this time of year but to be expected.

 It sounds like you had a memorable experience during your stay! Friendly staff, clean facilities, and great beach walks definitely contribute to a positive impression. It's wise to prefer the bay side sites for a quieter atmosphere and fewer crowds. Watching interesting birds adds to the charm, but it's essential to stay cautious of snakes, as you mentioned encountering a rattler. Making reservations in advance seems like a good tip to avoid any hassle, especially during busy weekends.

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.
