    Bolivar Peninsula RV Park

    Still needs work

    Pros: office lady very nice, site 1 has 1 tree for shade, ferry w/ our travel trailer from Galveston Island was easier than expected, large dog park, close to Camp Margaritaville.

    Cons: gravel sites, bathroom super gross with no TP, dirt rv road kicks up lots of dust, right on noisy highway.

    Bay RV Park

    Bay RV Park is a great place to stay!

    We are family owned and we offer a quiet, relaxing atmosphere.  Bay RV Park is just two blocks away from Galveston Bay.  We have huge, Texas-size sites with full hook-ups (20, 30 and 50 amp) and we also offer easy park pull-through sites.  Sites and streets are concrete and our park also has lots of grass and trees.  Our friendly staff is ready to make you feel right at home!

    Jamaica Beach RV Resort

    Very cool features that aren't well-maintained

    Our site is good, just the right size. The location is a little far from galveston and the town area is a little small.

    The splash pad is cool but aged. The pools are really neat but the water cleanliness is subpar. All the pools need vacuuming with sand and dirt on the bottom. The infinity spa pool was cloudy. The other pools didn't feel quite right.

    The lazy river was very fun and enjoyed that.

    Houston / Med Center KOA Holiday

    Great rv campground close to airport

    Great campground with wonderful staff who are very friendly. Full hookup, paved sites with heated saltwater pool and hot tub, workout facilities, clubhouse with games and puzzles, laundry facilities, a small camp store, and pet friendly with two small dog parks. The best thing about the location is that it backs up to Tom Bass park that has wonderful dog parks along with playgrounds and frisbee golf. Would definitely be staying here again!

    Follett’s Island Beach

    Reggie’s first beach

    Fabulous night’s sleep and morning swim and cup of joe! The stars were excellent at night and the sea breeze made for amazing sleeping weather. The morning brought warm sun which allowed for a pleasant frolic in the ocean after waking.

    Plenty of space for privacy, very quiet. Sand is very packed and we had no trouble getting in and out. $2 toll if coming from Galveston, so if you come in from the west, this can be avoided.

    Bolivar Flats Dispersed Camping

    AMAZING

    This place is EXCELLENT! From Galveston take the ferry across it's really convenient and free! We took our 26ft Class C RV on the ferry no problem. Pick a spot of the beach and just set up camp! The sand is very compacted and easily drivable. We saw all types of vehicles from golf carts to massive class A rigs. 

    When we were there is was not busy and there are only a few other campers. People come and go to use the beach to fish or play and cars will occasionally pass by your camp but it it not bad because you are literally yards from the water! 

    There are garbage cans set up up and down the beach which is miles long. 

    Bring water and pack out as much as you can and try not to fill up the garbage can you may be next to because there is quite a bit of litter on the beach. We picked up liter daily when we stayed. Mostly old garbage that has washed up from the ocean. Very peaceful and relaxing place to stay and will definitely be coming back here. 

    There are no bathrooms so you’ll need to be self contained. Good cell reception with ATT and Verizon
