Pickled Pelican RV Park

Pickled Pelican RV Park sits directly on Holly Beach with twenty concrete sites positioned as close to the Gulf of Mexico as regulations allow. The park operates on a first-come, first-serve basis with reservations accepted only two weeks in advance, and check-in starts at noon though earlier arrival is possible if sites remain available.

Sites one through eight feature metal roof pergolas equipped with lighting, large square picnic tables with four benches, and grills. These premium spots offer direct gulf views and marshland sightlines. The remaining twelve sites lack covered areas but include four buddy sites designed for RVs to park facing each other. All sites provide full hookups with water, sewer, and electric connections that reviewers consistently describe as well-maintained. The concrete pads accommodate large rigs, with space noted for trucks, boats, and golf carts.

Beach access requires less than a five-minute walk from sites. The area lacks typical RV park amenities like pools or recreation halls, and hurricane damage has eliminated most nearby services. Campers must drive twenty minutes north to Hackberry for groceries and fuel, though ice, bait, and some seafood remain available locally. Daniel H. notes that "water/sewer/electric hookups are all well maintained" and the owners provide helpful local guidance.

The park works best for self-sufficient campers prioritizing beach proximity over extensive facilities, with rates around $70-75 per night for beachfront camping access.

Campers consistently appreciate the level concrete sites and beachfront location with helpful owners. The quiet beach setting and full hookups are highlights, though some noted the higher rates for limited amenities.

Hidden gem w/ quiet, close beach!

Loved our time at the Pickled Pelican. Hosts very communicative & helpful. $75 did seem a bit high since there are no amenities, but the beach is close, clean, & quiet! Very soft sand compared to Galveston. Concrete pads & full hookups. Trash has to be driven about 2-3 min away.

Great spot on a rare Louisiana Beach

I have camped with friends numerous times at the Pickled Pelican. March 2024 was my first trip with my own camper. The RV spots are all level concrete in excellent condition. There are twelve spots as close to the beach as you can get, with a covered picnic table and grill. There are also 8 spots that do not have the covered picnic tables, across the street from the cabana sites. Four of those are set up to be used as buddy sites where two RVs can park with their camp sides facing each other and have no problems reaching hookups. Water/sewer/electric hookups are all well maintained. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Ice, bait, and some seafood is available in Holly Beach. No convince stores or gas stations thanks to hurricanes. Closest grocery store, gas/diesel, and general merchandise is in Hackberry, 20 minutes north. There is a convenience store a little closer in Johnson Bayou to the West, as well as in Cameron to the East. Going to Cameron requires crossing via a ferry, not always in service.

Awesome views of the Gulf.

Great spot on the Gulf of Mexico. The sites have full hookups and are level, and best of all on the beach. This is not a typical RV park as there are no amenities. As of this date rates are $70 a night. One of the best things is there is a gazebo at the back of the site, with a light. I am from the east side of Louisiana and did not know there was a beach in Louisiana.

Sitesites are not numbered. First come first pick.

Beachfront on a perfect beach

The area was ravaged by the fall hurricanes, so almost no stores, restaurants or gas stations are to be found within 15 miles..... so get everything you need before you get here, cause once you're here you have no reason to leave, if you're here for beach.

You'll get greeted by a southern gentleman, who's familiar with the area, there is full hookups, water, electric and sewage literally right on the beach.

As of today (you can see the date I post this) our last night here before we head east on our trip, the area is still cleaning up and rebuilding from the storms. Don't let that scare you off.... it's amazing. The sand is so soft and the site is amazing!!!

Quiet and Friendly

This is a new RV campground on Holly Beach. Level campsites, on thick concrete. Sites one through eight have beautiful metal roof pergolas, with lighting and a large square picnic table with 4 benches. Also has a good sized grill and electric hookups. We were in site 8 at the end with beautiful views of the Gulf of Mexico and marshland! Our site was large enough to have a full size F250 and our 32 foot camper! If we had a boat or golf cart, there was room for that as well. Full hookups with new connections. They only make reservations 2 weeks ahead and sites are first come first serve. Check in is at noon, but if there's a site available before then, you are welcome to it. The owner was helpful and super sweet! The gulf Beach is easily accessible by a 5 minute or less walk, or by golf cart or vehicle. We will definitely return! Open year round.
