Huston, TX and area RV resorts

http://www.rayfordcrossing.com/amenities

we also liked Rayford Crossing (link above shows amenities). I don't remember planned activities but plenty to do on your own. Convenient location.

Thanks a bunch for all your recommendations. Gives me a great start. Also the recommendation to avoid Huston and area freeways is great info. We normally spend a few months in Yuma, however we may have family moving to Huston, so we want to check out the area.

Join SKPs (Escapees) 39 bucks a year, and stay at the home base Park in Livingston. Nice park, priced right. 1hr 9 minutes to Houston. 73 miles. Avoid the freeways around Houston at all cost. It's awful.

Here is a good possiblity less than an hour from houston: (off I-45)

Rayford Crossing

Just over off US 59:

Forest Retreat

Both of these are first class parks. We have stayed in both. I expect Rayford Crossing might have more organized activities, though that is not high on our personal priorities, so we really don't know about that.

San Antonio is not much more than three hours from the Houston city limits. Admiralty RV Park on the west side of San Antonio sounds like your kind of place, my own SA preference was Traveler's World just south of downtown San Antonio, but that's for access to the city center, rather than what is at the RV park.

I've looked at the RV parks in or close to Houston (particularly close to Medical Center) and did not find any that really looked like snowbird resort parks. But then, with frequent but short-lived winter storms, Houston is not really a snowbird area. That would be Corpus Christi, Port Aransas, Rockport, Padre Island, all another 4-5 hours further south. I traveled to Houston 6 to 8 times a year over twenty years, encountered winter weather more often than I expected, usually freezing rain rather than snow.

There are resort areas around Lake Livingston, east of Huntsville, that have large RV parks. There is the town of Riverside on TX-19, and Pointblank and Onalaska on US-190, that have RV parks with many long-term residents, but I know nothing about these facilities and what might be the active seasons. My travel through these areas was year-round, but my destination was Houston Medical Center.

Either will work. RV resort activities is our primary driver. We find activitiies is the best way to intergrate into a new resort and become part of the community. :)

3 hours away is Austin or Dallas. Might as well find a nice rv park somewhere in between the 2 cities of your choice and enjoy two or three cities.

Round these parts its common to drive the 300 miles to Dallas for the weekend. Afterall, its down the road just a piece.
