RGV ten year trend
Ten years ago, this park did not have enough spaces to park all those that wanted to park here. Five years ago, they said that all sites were rented for at least one day during the season. Last year...

After escaping a flash flood at an RV resort in Weeping Water, Nebraska, we were told: "Never camp at a campground that has the words "water," "wind," or "sunshine" in their name. Well, we ignored that and camped in the RGV at "Tropic Winds." One day that wind carried me 1/10 of a mile (the length of the street), and I never pedaled the entire way! It took me twenty minutes of pushing that bike against the wind to get back to my rig. Two days later, we gave up the remaining four weeks of that stay, and made a bee-line for Florida! We have now enjoyed Florida for more than a dozen years! Yes, it's more expensive -- although central Florida can compete pricewise with the RGV, and provide better weather. If relaxing under a palm tree with a mild breeze while holding a book in one hand and your refreshment in the other, is your idea of retirement, then you owe it to yourself to try Florida. Life is too short to fight an area of Texas that sees you as "skinflints who come here with a T-shirt and a dime, and don;t want to change either one." Yep, a store owner told me that one my first week in the RGV. Are you a skinflint? If so, you're in the right place.
