Look this a brand new RV park. Very nice staff and helpful in setting up. Spaces are well apart, so when it starts filling up you will not feel crowded. Our pull through was, I think, about 95 feet long. Easy to keep the tow vehicle attached. In 10 to 15 years as grass and landscaping become mature it is going to be very lovely! Be sure to have bug spray. There is some kind of yellow fly that really bites.

Beautiful new park, gated, mostly concrete, not much grass yet, but looks like they are planting as we speak. Was nicely greeted when we went into the clubhouse and asked to view sites & rates...we Saw a pool, 2 lakes, nice common area, bathrooms/showers back-in & pull thrus...from what I saw, it is very nice, but price for a month even for a back in was between $800 to $1000 a month...depending on level of amenity at site...hopefully they will lower monthly or winter season rates so we can try it next year.

Like the other reviews, no expense spared on landscaping done thus far. Pool area is nice; but the charge rates for having a heated pool and it is NOT heated. And this place is NOT cheap. So, with that said as nice as it is it comes with a cost. Have all of the amenities available please. Other than that. Nice big lots and every RV in the park, and vehicles are nice, relatively new, and clean. Lots of muddy areas though, BEWARE!! I wish there was like some limestone rocks or landscape rocks to step on to stay out of the mud. The pool area gate news a step there too. you have to step in the soft grass to get out. Anyway, it'd get 5 stars but not for those small details that we think should be addressed.

Amazing, brand new, up-scale RV resort in the Rio Grande Valley just east of Brownsville. Liked it so much we changed our plans and stayed 2 months. We stayed in a super luxury site, one of their largest type of sites. These are 16 ft. wide by 90ft. long back-in or pull-in concrete pads built for large motorcoaches and have at least 50 ft. between RV sites. There is a 175 sq. ft. concrete patio with picnic table and portable fire pit and a concrete apron for extra vehicle parking. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy the outdoors. The amenities are resort style and very attractive. Quality activities! Staff and owners are very helpful and aim to please their guests. Nice bath houses - separate individual locking shower rooms and also separate restroom facilities. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that there is a train track behind the resort. We personally love trains and even their whistles, so after a night or so, either the train quit coming by ;) or we stopped hearing them all together :) (I only mention this because in Williams, AZ, the trains were something that affected a friend with a condition and he hadn't been informed of them before he stayed there).

Best in Southern Texas. It’s brand new. The owners and staff are a pleasure to deal with. They really want to give winter Texans a great experience. As far as the property and amenities go - I’ve seen nothing better anywhere in Texas. The resort style heated pool, large spa, pickle ball courts, and other amenities were all built to be a real pleasure to use. The clubhouse has a large room for entertaining with an amazing kitchen that you can use for partying. We had a big dinner in it last night. 2 big ovens, 8 burner stove with professional exhaust hood. It was a lot of fun to throw a dinner party using that kitchen. The grounds are expansive with a couple hundred RV spaces across nearly 200 acres. So you have many open areas and spaces between RV sites. And they’ve spent a fortune on high end landscaping with tons of palm trees and sodded areas. Oh, and the nicest dog park I’ve seen anywhere in the country. As the landscaping matures, this place will remain beautiful. Pros: outskirts of Brownsville. Easy proximity to shopping and getting to the beaches on South Padre Island. Secure gate system and no crime worries. No resort in the area has space between RV sites like this one. It really feels like a resort for that reason alone. I feel like we have a 1/2 an acre lot for our rig. Cons: hmm. Only one. Site pads are a little narrower than I prefer. So there’s not a lot of area to entertain outside the door of your rig. But if you don’t throw bashes at your rig like we do, you’ll think I’m just being picky. So, wrapping this up... really like it. Going to stay a month longer than we planned. Everyone that we’ve met have been friendly and are as happy with their decision to winter here. Made lots of new friends and we’ve been doing excursions with as many as six other couples at a time.
