All The Usual Stuff?

I was reading today's thread about parks in RGV and TomG2 made this comment:

"Alamo Rec-Veh in Alamo is a $250-$400/month park with indoor pool and hot tub. Twenty five minutes to Progreso. RC car tracks, drones, RC boating, Air Rifle range, all the usual stuff."

Really? Is this usual? If so, I'm glad I'm about to retire. This sounds like a fun place. I was thinking the parks would have a pool, shuffleboard, and maybe tennis courts (all of which I like). But this other sounds like a lot of fun, too.

So what are the usual facilities in snowbird parks?

  • the list in Mission Bell and sister place across the street... Trade Winds.

    look at there web page...
    many other RV parks are near by...

    many things to do and many clubs to be part of....

    pool tables,, pools, indoor and outdoor games...
    bicycle and motorcycle club.. if you like.
    everything you Need is just a mile or 3 away...
    small and large food stores... shopping... all kinds of restaurants

    and road traffic flows well... 4 and 5 lane roads.. Business 83.
    freeway 'I2' is one mile away...

    I think what you'll find now are pickleball courts rather than tennis courts. :) Enjoy your new sport. We certainly do!

    the post states that all that stuff is "25 minutes away" from the CG.
  • My thoughts on AUS (All the Usual Stuff):

    In addition to what I mentioned earlier; Shuffleboard, Card rooms, Kitchen, dances, bathrooms with showers, laundry room(s), woodworking shop, bingo, paved streets, Church Services, trash service, potlucks, bicycle club, music jams, exercise facilities, trips and tours, lending library, and mail room. You know, all the usual stuff.
