Best Campgrounds near Liberty, 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.

Campground not full. Very quiet, sites not on top of each other (some more private than others), gravel pads for rv, tent, table, lantern post and campfire ring. Water & electric or primitive sites both available. My personal agenda is all things nature related. The land, peace, plants, birds, land animals and TREES, water sources and types. To enjoy all the beauty (in all forms) which our earth provides.

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.

Love staying at Livingston. It is close enough to Houston that we can have a quick get away, but still be away from things that you can enjoy. The park is very well maintained, and the trails are good. A lot of people fish the lake, but I haven’t had a lot of luck - that doesn’t mean anything, though 🤣

Clean, plenty of spaces, tents and RV’s. Nice fire pit. Nice lake view and water fun!

We had a wonderful 1 night stay camping here! When the new owners took over, they did change the name to "Made in the Shade" so if you go to the website listed here it will reroute you to the correct page!

My partner is cycling the country and this is a great spot to stop for the night on the Southern Tier Bike route. We loved socializing with the owners & locals and others staying at the park, cooling off in the [well-kept] pool, and appreciated the good water pressure of the showers! 100% recommend. Thanks again for everything!

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.

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.
