My wife and I booked a spot here last-minute while coming back from a week in Florida. Kurt & Debbie were able to fit us in and it was PERFECT.

Despite it's size (only 5 spots in total) the Shore Venture Motor Court felt like a 5-star destination from the moment we pulled up. Set back slightly from Moms Road, and backing on to a little bayou creek, each site is beautifully appointed with a wood deck, picnic table, privacy fence, and planter box. Our site had brand new full hookups, and even had a zero-g water hose connected in case we needed to hose off our salty Jeep from a day at the beach...

...which is literally a stone's throw down the road. The location couldn't be any better, centered at the heart of Crystal Beach. The property also has a 100% Instagram-worthy communal space with a large fire pit, wooden dock on the water, complete with twinkling lights and lounger chairs.

This will DEFINITELY be our first place to stay every time we visit Bolivar Peninsula, pending we can squeeze in again!

My wife and I camped in Site 9, which was fantastic. It was super easy to back our 22' travel trailer into the site, with a nice 45 degree angle from the loop road. The site was nice and level left/right and only slightly downhill towards the rear of the trailer. We had a fantastic view of forest and nature, with the lake visible through the trees. There were no immediate neighbors on either side of the site, making for a very spacious and private experience. The site had full hookups, along with a steel picnic table and fire ring. There was even a cute little coat hook pole near the fire. There is also a nice semi-paved trail immediately behind the site that wound it's way down to the lake, over to the boat dock, and back. Overall we had a great time on our shakedown trip for 2021 (despite the impending ice storm and accidentally locking ourselves out of the trailer on the very first night). Only negative of the weekend was the lack of cell service... not bad when you want to disconnect but not good when you lock yourself out of your trailer!
