Any RV parks left in RGV?
Anyone out there with recent and firsthand knowledge regarding Mission and Mcalister areas of the RGV? Are ALL the RV parks and resorts now also mobile home parks? We cannot seem to find a nice park ...

Another commercial RGV place we've used Long Island Village in Port Isabel
Park is mostly mobile homes, with interspersed 'empty' sites. All owner-owned, but most owners of 'empty' sites place them into a central 'rental pool' administered by the park at standard rates, for rent when not being used by the owner
Goods:
Security gate, manned
9-hole golf course
Indoor and outdoor pools
other standard amenities
All sites double-width
location, location, location--right on the Laguna Madre, with canals running through LIV...many owners have boat lifts directly onto/into a canal leading to the bay which leads to the Gulf
I'm assuming there's lots of organized activities especially during 'Winter Texan' season (not sure how Covid has affected this, in terms of numbers who migrated and whether those who did are permitted to gather)
Not-so-goods
A couple of years ago, they implemented a refundable $500 damage deposit requirement (apparently a renter backed over a pedestal)...we stopped going there because of this change
Can be hard to get backed into sites because of obstructions on the other side of the quite-narrow streets
Whole place is a getting quite dated...looks like it was developed at least 40 years ago, with few updates since....not poorly maintained, just getting older...kind of like looking at the Brady Bunch house..."That's just SO 70's!"
