Facility Overview
Bolivar Flats RV Park is a specialized open-air parking and recreational vehicle accommodation facility located at 2250 TX-87 in Port Bolivar, Texas. Unlike traditional urban parking garages, this facility is designed to support the unique needs of visitors to the Bolivar Peninsula, offering expansive, flat, outdoor surface parking. Because the facility primarily serves RVs and large trailers, it features high-clearance, open-sky access, making it perfectly suitable for full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, dually trucks, and large motorhomes without the constraints of height limits found in typical parking decks.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Drivers are encouraged to check local traffic alerts for the Bolivar Ferry if traveling toward Galveston, as wait times can fluctuate.

We recommend pre-booking your stay or space, especially during peak birding migration seasons or summer holiday weekends, as regional demand for large-vehicle parking increases significantly.
