We will be staying in and around Corpus Christi in our fifth wheel for the next year because of my husband's job. We have stayed in a few RV parks in this area -- all have been nice with friendly people. The one thing my husband and I have both noticed is that almost all the RVers in the parks we've stayed in are white, middle-aged or older, and very conservative. We have nothing against any of them -- like I said, they've all been extremely nice. However, we would like to find an RV park or area where at least some of the residents are liberal, and we'd like a bit more diversity. Does anyone have any suggestions as to an area or RV park near Corpus Christi that fits the bill?

As full-timers we have spent the past three winters in Corpus Christi and can tell you that virtually all the RVers you will encounter will meet your description. I don't think there's any park you can go to where that won't be the case. We like to stay at Pioneer RV Resort just south of Port Aransas because it is away from the city and on the water. However, depending on where your husband is working this could result in a significant daily drive.Since we consider ourselves to be among the handful of liberals in this bastion of conservatism you are welcome to PM me if you are seriously looking for information on where to find other kindred spirits.Joel

Try Shady Grove Mobile Home & RV Park on Flour Bluff (2919 Waldron Rd). Friends of mine stayed there for several months one winter. It's more mobile home park than RV park so that may terrify you. Flour Bluff is like a small town sandwiched between Padre Island and the big city of Corpus. You can walk to the local library from the park too. You most likely will not find it listed on RV Park Reviews either. You can look up some info on it at http://www.yellowpages.com/corpus-christi-tx/mip/shady-grove-mobile-home-rv-park-7063250 but it's not what I would call a typical RV park. Since it is a mobile home park you will need to get your own cable/internet (monthly) and the park gave my friends a letter that allowed them to get a library card at the local library. My friends like it there better than the place they were straying at in Rockport. But they are a bit different.

With all due respect to your friends, Flour Bluff is a relatively dreary looking lower end community with no particular attractions. Personally, I wouldn't spend a week there let alone a winter.

Conservatives are the reason Texas is Texas............If all those "conservatives" are so nice and friendly, what's the problem?
