Galveston is where I learned how to swim from my Dad in the 50's. At one time I used to go down there a lot and do miss the beach. But do like the mountains as well. Oh yes the word free is a gem so to speak. Now I defiantly want to go to the beach. Enjoyed watching this and thanks. Hugs to Georgia and Maine.
That's cool that you learned to swim in the gulf! I was down there once with my daughter and there were jelly fish all over the place. Kinda creeped me out from wanting to get in the water LOL
Best time to beach camp is winter, very few people! A shame about the trash, that goes back to people of course! Looked like y’all had a large time! Thanks for sharing! 🌊🌊🌊
Texas has some of the best beach camping ! I have camped on several beaches down there. Look like you had the place mostly to yourselves... That is awesome!!
@@LostOnLandAgain .... There is a nice place over by Texas City or if you want to travel get on down to South Padre Island... Way warmer down there!! ;-)
Cool. You finally made it to my neck of the woods. I grew up with Galveston , Port Boliv er, and Crystal beaches. I now crave the mountains, rivers, and lakes. Hope you enjoyed your stay.
hello from the brisk vibrant ozarks lola and vicki!! enjoyed a cup of fresh hot columbian while riding the ever changing beach while its still free!! tight lines and cheers!!
I imagine the trick is to go down when no one else is (like now). Can't go during Spring break which is pretty much all of March and April. Can't go in the summer so May-Sept. Leaves a fairly small window for those of us who don't like crowds. It would be so fun to have all the usual suspects there wouldn't it? !!
Hey there ladies…BEAUTIFUL PICS! Love the drone views. Hope y’all got to eat at Gaidos. Every time I’m in Galveston we never miss dining there. If you like shrimp try the STUFFED SHRIMP. 👍👍 ❤️
Thanks for posting this! I buy the Bolivar annual sticker for usually $10. If you buy in the early part of the year it’s $5. I lived in Grown for 5 years and miss it! Thanks much!!
I couldn't figure out where one would buy the permit. The sign said a park ranger would come by and collect the $10 but we never saw a park ranger and no one was camped on the side where you need to have a sticker. Weird rules for sure.
Oh, I so want to go camping here. Yes, the seafoam was entertaining! LOL We are looking at getting ebikes soon. Glad to know you love love yours! Thanks for sharing your experience.
I had that spot labeled on my map to check out one day when I'm in that area. Thanks for showing me around there. Looked like a great spot to visit. Does staying on the beach like that corrode/rust you vehicle?
Thank you so so much for posting this video! I am bringing my cousin down to see the goal for the very first time ever in her life and we are on a budget we have a camper van that we’re bringing with and I was trying to do this as an expense if I can. And I happened upon your video you’re coming down in February. So I’m guessing it won’t be too packed. Again thank you for the video this was awesome and very informative! We are coming from Minnesota LOL wondering where you guys got the firewood? So we know where to go LOL
Oh you are going to have an epic adventure coming down from MN. If you aren't familiar with FreeCampsites.net yet check it out. That's how we found this spot. You are correct that it shouldn't get crowded in February. As for firewood we got it in the DFW area before heading down. They sell it at most grocery stores like Krogers or Tom Thumb. Not so often at Walmart. We got this particular batch at Albertsons. I didn't see any for sale in Galveston. Have fun!!
I worked Bolivar and Crystal Beach during Hurricane Ike! The nicest people in such adverse conditions! Not sure you make it to Oak Island but Channel Marker 17 has the best hamburgers and seafood and on Galveston Bay. Glad ya’ll had fun! Beach On! 👍❤️🍑
On the way out we stopped and camping in the forest and then Google maps took us around Houston on back roads. So what should have been a 4 hour drive turned into more like 6. On the way back we got caught in a blizzard. We drove for over 6 hours and ended up getting a room for the night, then another hour and a half the next morning. It was an adventure. LOL
we have been in corpus christi for the last year but I'm a mountain/canyon camper too and I miss the trees and hikes! Beach camp is very laid back and relaxing though....better in the vehicle because the wind blows tents around so much.
Vicky is loving it! Did you hear that she bought one for Lolapalooza? Had it a week and a guy offered her $1000 cash for it so she sold it. Then bought it again online and ended up getting a $50 off coupon since it was her second purchase. If she keeps selling it she'll end up with one for free ha ha
Good morning girls 🌞 ☕ I'm not a beach person much, either. I lived about 500 feet from the longest freshwater beach in the world Wasaga Beach and didn't swim once lol. The only walks I took were in winter. For hiking I drove a half an hour to Blue Mountain. Those ebikes look like a ton of fun ✌❤⚔🔥🐴
I would love to camp on the beach like that and have those views! Especially when its 🆓!! Something tells me you brought the firewood with you. Did you know if you hit a piece of flint just right with a wrench it will light a fire? 🔥
Yes we brought the firewood. Glad we did cause I don't think they sell much of it down that way. Ha ha ha on the flint and wrench. I may have to try that.
Sorry for the delay. I have been there when it's crystal clear and clean and other times it's muddy/murkey. I think it depends on the weather. As for restaurants there are a few. My favorite is B&Dubs Gruf. It's just a food truck type thing but their food is really good.
I'm from that area and visited that specific beach. Tides can be extreme. It's also the party beach, most Galveston beaches you're not supposed to drink, so the peninsula is the spot. Large younger crowds for spring break, the 4th etc... Avoid at all cost the porta potty. Water is cleaner in winter months. Fort Crockett is right down the way.
Very cool. I don’t think w have real beach camping anywhere in S.C. There are state parks and privately owned campgrounds adjacent to the beach but I don’t believe they offer waterfront camping. Then again, stringing up my hammock on the beach could be difficult! 🤣😂🤣
It's an Ecotric. I got it online. Mailed to me within just a few days. I have had it about 18 months or so now and have put hundreds of miles on it. I love love love it! It is supposed to be able to go 20 miles in a charge but I've never gone more than about 15 between charges. Also they have a new model out now that has a lower bar so it's easier to get on and off it. They cost around $850 ish. I've seen some $50 off specials. This was probably more information than you really wanted. :) .
Me too! I camped down by Corpus and it was super sketchy. A couple of my friends did get stuck. This particular beach though was very hard packed. It would be virtually impossible to get stuck. I loved it! Something I learned from a friend of mine is to get out and walk on the sand before you drive on it and see how hard packed it is. Even with that said though I am a nervous wreck when I'm driving on it.
Thanks. I will only try ones that are hard packed specifier for people to park on for sure. Even so I will be a nervous wreck trying it. But then I'm a nervous wreck going over long or high bridges anyhow
We wiped them down pretty good after our ride and didn't leave them out at night. Wondering if I should hose it down but I hate to do that with it being electric.
@@LostOnLandAgain even the car washes rust here LOL. Street signs post and they are heavy-duty galvanized stuff. More than likely it'll take a week or two and you will see the medals that did not agree with it. I feel fairly sure if you remove the battery turn everything off tape off connections a water hose with your thumb on the end would be fine. Consult the owners manual. I have seen clean schoolies spend a week out there and the rivets start rusting and the entire undercarriage. I would not have power back to the bike until everything was completely dry. I don't know what kind of brakes you have if they are the gripper type on the rim it may not be good to wax that but I would wax everything else
I got to get me one of them bicycles mine just pedals it's not electric my scooters electric I never thought about camping on the beach every time I go to the beach I go to RV Park and you know it ain't on the beach it's a little ways from the beach I would be worried about getting out on high tide I've got to go to Texas I did not like Courtside Arizona too dirty you take care of my dear friend and thank you for the video have fun
I just really don't care for RV parks. Probably cause I don't have an RV Ha ha. Parts of Texas are super dusty. Other parts not so much. My favorite part of TX is the piney woods and lakes in E Texas I think.
WOW THIS WAS SO FUN TO WATCH. THAT VICKY VANGO IS A HOOT. SWAMPY QUEEN HUGS.

Looked like y’all had a large time! Thanks for sharing! 🌊🌊🌊
I've only ever beach camped in the winter so I must agree with you. :)
Camping near a beach and rolling on an e-bike would be amazing. Beautiful views my friend. Dropped a thumbs up.
Thanks !
Hi LOLA and Vicki, Looks like a nice peace great time... Both of you are the best sweethearts. Thanks for sharing.... don
Thanks Don!

I need to do more of it I think. :)

Thank you my friend.
Thanks for the camping tip..Love the bikes.
Thank you Debi :)
So awesome! We can’t wait to find free beach camping!
I'm usually scared of getting stuck but this was a nice hard packed beach. Have fun!
Sweet spot! Love seeing you two doing what you love! Glad you had a great day to relax before the narly ride home!
Did y'all go down there last year?
@@LostOnLandAgain We did! 💝
Looks like wonderful time! Stay safe and enjoy yourself!
Great video! You and Vicky look like you really enjoyed the beach. Awesome sauce!!
That was fun to watch! 😎✌🧡
Thanks for the memories. I really enjoyed the months I spent on the beaches in that area. I'm in Florida now and that's wonderful also.
I bet that is wonderful!
That would be really hard for me to leave that spot… And that sunset was awesome. Thanks for showing us
Well, when the clouds and rain rolled in it was a little easier to leave but I hear ya. It was really really nice. I must do this more often.
Cool. You finally made it to my neck of the woods. I grew up with Galveston , Port Boliv er, and Crystal beaches. I now crave the mountains, rivers, and lakes. Hope you enjoyed your stay.
It's pretty down there for sure. Definitely different (for me). I am usually a mountains/rivers/lakes kind of girl too
Oh Man this looks like soooo much fun ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
An amazing video Lola, perfect for prebed viewing 🤗💜
Thanks Kat :)
@@LostOnLandAgain You're welcome 😊
This was fun to watch! We hope to be on the road just like this as soon as our home sells!
Thank you for sharing! 👍🤗
How exciting! Good luck to you!
Love this video! Love seeing you two on the beach and a lovely campfire!!
Thanks Frug! Man am I behind on my comments LOL
Any video that starts out with Otis Redding is going to be a winner for sure!! Wow. Free camping at the beach. How can you possibly beat that!!!
I have a feeling you would absolutely love it there. Can't wait to see you again!
@@LostOnLandAgain Me too. Can't wait for Lolapalooza!!! This time I'll make my reservations early. 🤣
Very cool. Great shots. Wind wasn't to to bad. Yall even got to be on TK's Zoom. So cool. Glad yall had a good time.
Thanks Breezey! :)
Awesome place to amp! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
hello from the brisk vibrant ozarks lola and vicki!! enjoyed a cup of fresh hot columbian while riding the ever changing beach while its still free!! tight lines and cheers!!
While it's still free. I hear ya.
That is so beautiful. I wish we could camp on the ocean beach here is Oregon. Love the e-bikes!!
I thought you could in Oregon?
So glad you girls had such a good time!! That place is awesome!! I want to go! Thanks for sharing it. We need to plan a return visit soon!!
I imagine the trick is to go down when no one else is (like now). Can't go during Spring break which is pretty much all of March and April. Can't go in the summer so May-Sept.

@@LostOnLandAgain it would be a blast for us all to be together ANYWHERE again. LOL but this does look pretty awesome.
Great campsite, and its free ! Enjoy.
Thanks James!
My kind of music, setn on the dock,and ocean fun. Great video Lola.
Hey there ladies…BEAUTIFUL PICS! Love the drone views. Hope y’all got to eat at Gaidos. Every time I’m in Galveston we never miss dining there. If you like shrimp try the STUFFED SHRIMP. 👍👍 ❤️
Thanks for the tip! We didn't go out to eat or visit town at all. Just there for the surf and sun. :) Maybe next time :)
Hey Lola. Such a beautiful place. I didn't see any trash in your vid. It's a shame folk would do that though. Enjoyed it!
It is a shame. Not sure why it looked trashier in person.
Thanks for posting this! I buy the Bolivar annual sticker for usually $10. If you buy in the early part of the year it’s $5. I lived in Grown for 5 years and miss it! Thanks much!!
I miss having a fire so much! California is not keen on campfires!
I couldn't figure out where one would buy the permit. The sign said a park ranger would come by and collect the $10 but we never saw a park ranger and no one was camped on the side where you need to have a sticker. Weird rules for sure.
Looks like a great time for sure
It was fun! :)
That is quite the party spot in the summer. Zippy got a good workout. I'll call Vicky's Zoom unless she has already named it. lol
Zoomie. :) I think that's what she already named it ha ha
Wow, that was fun to watch! Now I want an e-Bike... 💗
They are so fun! Game changer for me with this hip. I can still get around pain free so it's worth it's weight in gold. :)
Oh, I so want to go camping here. Yes, the seafoam was entertaining! LOL We are looking at getting ebikes soon. Glad to know you love love yours! Thanks for sharing your experience.
I think you'd love it there!

I have heard that it can rust your vehicle if you don't wash it right away afterwards.
Gawd I love the beach. Went to Bolivar but couldn’t find this area. Thanks so much for sharing. Did you ever find the origin of the footprints?
I think we determined it was a dog leash that made those weird prints. Or possibly aliens. :)

dyu know about Dr. Venter & the Gulf o f Mexico? looked great there!
Dr. Venter??
Nice beach. Sad about the garbage. Have you heard from Blind Views? Praying he’s ok.😊👍💕
I'm a bit behind on my YT stuff. BV seems to be on the mend albeit slowly.
There’s a great place over there called Stingerees (I think!) that have the best margaritas! If they are open!
We didn't go in any place. I'd love to go back down when things are more open. Hugs!
Is the water clean, warm? any restaurants in the area? Thanks.

Did you ever go down to the beach last year? I remember you were talking about it.
Sadly no, may this summer .. or fall, you never know! 😎
@@thatcampingchic2414 I don't think I could do the summer crowds. Maybe late fall though!

Yeah hammock campers would be in trouble for sure LOL OH I know! Go with two friends who have vans and string your hammock from the vans. :)
Is it electric bike you had?
Yes. I still have it. It's my Ecotric fat tire. I love that thing.
Can you tell me what kind of ebike you have and how you like it? Thanks!
