REVIEWS FROM OUR RECENT GUESTS

Our stay at Palapa RV Resort was fantastic. Was our first experience at this resort. We were there for 3 months. Terri and Mel are awesome and they will make your stay the best ever and you feel very welcome there. When we left we felt like part of the family. We plan on returning in November. We live in Minnesota and go south for the winter. Palapa will be our southern destination away from the cold. I highly recommend Palapa. Nice beach on the gulf across the road where we walked every day plus the resort is exceptionally clean with a beautiful pool clubhouse and great people. Loved it!

Bolivar's Finest Smaller RV Park. Wonderful atmosphere, great location and amazing amenities are just a few words to best describe this RV park. Concrete sites, full hookups, pool, short walk to the beach, cart rentals, a Palapa to shade you from the hot sun. Two decks with fantastic views of the gulf and boat channel. Make Palapa RV your destination while staying on Bolivar Peninsula.
You will not be disappointed.

We stayed for three months (Jan-Mar) and enjoyed every minute of our stay. We were very sad to leave. Mel and Terri are so welcoming, and fantastic hosts. The proximity to the beach makes this the perfect getaway in any season. It’s not too far from restaurants, shopping, and other Bolivar attractions, but far enough away to be a little quieter on busy days/weeks.
