Park recommendations?

[5rdriver]

We are considering going south for the winter next year but not familiar with the parks in Texas. I'm doing some internet research but I'd like to ask for recommendations. Can anyone recommend a park that has a good woodshop and nice excersize room with good treadmills? I'd like to go to RGV but DW is a little paranoid about being too close to the Mexican border so we would consider as far north as Corpus Christi. Thanks!

I would say no need to make reservations. Plenty of availability. We are on the far west side in Mission, but we like it here. Ours is an ownership park but there are rental parks all around us with lots available.

We had gone to an other park in Alamo for a number of years and liked it there but we got sick of the small sights. If I were going for the RCV for the first time. I would go down with out reservations and go to a park in the center of Valley and check into a park for a week. From there I would check out many parks until I found out the one for us.

I feel that this is very good advice.

Is it possible you mean Casa Del Valle, I thought the lots were very small in Casa del Sol

Yep, I goofed. I always get the names mixed up. It's Casa del Valle in Alamo. Sorry about that. We like it there.

Yes, I thought it was a nice well kept park when I was last there, several years back though.

Lots are small there and not much in the way of amenities.

Casa del Sol is a good park. Typical of most RGV snowbird parks. Very clean and up to date. We spent several weeks there over the last two years. Further east is Kenwood Rv Resort with an indoor pool and minutes to Harlingen.

Victoria Palms has a wonderful pool, jacuzzi and gym with a beautiful club house, no beverages allowed which I don't understand but the sites are a bit rundown.

We have enjoyed Retama Village-Bentsen Palm Rv Park but it is a bit expensive for us. Very nice amenities and the birding center is right there. They have free bikes to take to the park which is nice for exercise and they have a good gym too.

There is a small woodwork shop there. We found all the amenities (including pool)to be small for the number of sites. Very nice sites and rentals.

As mentioned in another thread, some RGV parks are also giving the Canadians a break. My park (Not Fun n Sun) gives a 20% discount to help with the currency conversion for Canadians. Not going to argue if that is fair or not.

Fun n Sun is an Encore park and one can get the rates etc. from their page. For some reason, a park resident maintains a website with the Fun n Sun name.

I see a price of $2,150 for five months but I am betting they will offer something better when you talk to them.

They do have specials running all the time. Their office phone number is (956)399-5125. Get the info first hand. We are paying on a yearly rate.
