This is our third winter at Bentsen Palm RV Park in Mission, TX and we love it here! This is a park where everyone is welcoming. The people are very friendly and there is so much to do, from music jams, shuffleboard, pickleball, hot tubs and a fully enclosed swimming pool, not to mention crafting and cards. We love the dog park, beautiful flowers and shrubs as well as all the citrus trees. Bentsen Palm RV Park is away from the hustle and bustle of larger cities, but close to shopping and medical facilities. I highly recommend this park for your getaway, you won't be disappointed.
