Crystal Beach and the Bolivar Peninsula offer a full slate of Easter weekend activities within easy reach of your campsite:
Easter weekend is a family affair, and at Beachside, that includes your pets. The park features a large fenced dog park with waste bags provided — one of the best dog amenities on the Bolivar Peninsula. Pets are welcome with a maximum of 2 pets per reservation. Guests must follow posted park rules.
After a morning at the beach, rinse off at the outdoor shower, let the dogs run in the dog park, and settle in under a shaded gazebo for an Easter cookout. That’s the Beachside way.
