One thing that we have done is taken the ferry over to Bolivar side. If you go about 5-7 miles on the main road, off to your right is open beach. The street just ends and people drive on the beach. Its technically not a campground, but we have camped there and have seen others. Its great because you can camp right next to the ocean and it does not cost anything J Keep in mind its primitive. You’ll be hiking down to the 7-11 for bathrooms if you don’t bring you own.
