They advertise for RVers in the big directories, but the sign outside say it all "Trailer Park". This place offers a lot if you are a seasonal camper staying 3-6 months, but it has no business advertising as an RV park for short timers (a month or less). We made reservations several months ahead, but were not advised that the office is closed ALL DAY Sunday. (And closed most of Saturday, unhandy since lots of us travel on weekends to avoid traffic and construction). They can be closed any day they want, but they didn't TELL US they would be closed the day we arrived. In the parking lot were 2 other dazed new arrivees, all trying to figure out what to do. We are used to having a packet of info with name, site number, how to get there, rules, hints, etc. waiting when the office is closed. NOTHING HERE. Though it wasn't their job, the very kind residents of this Trailer Park (not RV Park, in my opinion) helped us decode various symbols on our confirmation form to find our site. The reservation form was out because the directions for arrival were poor and we had to make a big U-turn in the middle of the road because our phone call to the office was not answered, of course). When we went in to register on Monday, we didn't get the Good Sam discount we had been quoted over the phone. They claimed we had requested a different lot that costs the same, but has no discounts (figure that logic!). My wife is Ms. Meticulous and would have noted all that...they didn't tell us that. They suggested we could just move if we wanted the discount. These jokers (especially one named Brenda) have NEVER been in a RV in their lives, have never leveled, unhooked a trailer hooked up utilities, etc. "Just move if you want the discount." is an insult. These folks NEVER said they were sorry about any problems we had. Stay away from this place and tell your friends to do so until they change the management. Nice park, great residents, unfortunately run by idiots. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This may be the nicest natural looking park we have stayed in. It is comfortable with 3 sections of large sites, some shaded, arranged in a circle around a large natural area. There are also newly added jumbo back-in sites. All sites have a concrete patio. The surrounding grounds are well landscaped. This area is a spot popular for migrating birds, hence flowering plants are planted throughout the park. The pool and spa are delightful, as are the very friendly office staff. This is a park to put on you list if you haven't been here! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed here for eleven day visiting friends who were Winter Texans. The majority of the sites are park models for Winter Texans but there are ample temporary sites. The sites are in an old orange grove with lots of nice grass. You are allowed to wash vehicles using the water from an onsite well. Everyone was very friendly. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Best park I've ever been in. Mostly new, spotless, great guest services staff and office staff. Love it, love it! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great birding park, nice younger crowd. Walk way,s bike trails, concrete pads, workshop, and most of all friendly people. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The sites are nice. The Rec Hall has NO heat or air conditioning. The outside swimming pool is small. The wifi is slow and sometimes it does not work. The cable TV has a few channels. We would NOT stay there again! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is our second most favorite park in the valley. We liked being outside the birding state park. The area around is developing with new homes and an owner-based park next door. We were lucky to get in for a few nights since most reservations are made a year in advance. The man we first talked to was short and told us they had no openings. I called back minutes later telling the lady we really wanted to visit their place for at least a few nights to see how we liked it. She was very accommodating and got us in. The only complaint we had was the tight roads. It is difficult to back into some of the sites if you have a large RV. We saw several people have problems. Otherwise, a great place to stay with many amenities and nice landscaping. We camped here in a Motorhome.

New campground that rates lower than a resort, but better than a campground. Back-in concrete sites a bit close together. Unique circles of RV's and very large sites also available. Mostly Canadians and mid-westerners spending the winter. Only a couple of park models which are for rent, as well as several "casitas". Nice landscaping, right next to state park right on Rio Grande. Too small swimming pool. Excellent laundry and bathrooms. Woodworking and crafts. Many activities. Probably the nicest RV park in the RGV. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautifully landscaped park with large, wide, paved pull-thru's and back-ins with patios. We stayed four months (the rate reflects this) and the price was great. Great for birding and butterfly watching, biking, and walking. In November, hundreds of migrating butterflies were around the flowering shrubs on our patio every day. The grounds were immaculate with a crew mowing, trimming and cleaning daily. Didn't use the bathrooms and showers but they appeared to be very clean. Our only complaint was the sometimes poor WIFI if a trailer was parked between you and the repeater. The park would be perfect if you could get broadband on the cable TV. We searched parks from the coast all the way to Mission, and this was by far the best park in the region. Would definitely return again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Bentsen is a walk or bike ride from Bentsen State Park and the World Birding site. Excellent park with lots of room. Hit me with a month of electricity at $158.00 which was excessive. Laundry and showers are clean. Cable channel selection is terrible. Some staff members are rude. However, park is extremely nice with lots of concrete, picnic tables, large fire pits for visiting, etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have been to a lot of RV parks in Texas, and this one rates as the best. It is a new park that caters to winter Texan's. It is located near the Rio Grande River and is VERY quiet at night. No road traffic at all. The sites at all easy to get into, and very spacious. The park has scheduled activities every day, and there is plenty to keep you busy. Our favorite was the Margarita happy hour on Weds. The pool was clean and very warm. The fitness room is open 24/7 and spotless. It even had two satellite TV's to watch while exercising. It is a gated park with the gate locked at 6 PM. You use a key code to enter after six. Makes you feel very secure. This is a park that caters to the 55 and above crowd, and there is not much to do for kids. If we decide to winter in the Rio Grande Valley, this will be the park we choose. It was about 90% full when we were there. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This RV Park was one of the nicest we've ever stayed in. It is located in a rural area Southwest of Mission, Texas. The park is rather unique because the pull through sites are arranged in large circles, the first time I've ever seen this layout. I believe there were four large circles with each one having palm trees, nice landscaping, and some sort of activity within the middle. Our circle housed the Recreation Center. The park was immaculate and well landscaped. The free wireless internet service worked flawlessly and had plenty of signal strength through out the park. It is a pet friendly park and even has a seperate dog run area where you can unleash you pet and let him visit with other dogs. If you like to bike and hike there is the World Birding Center right next door. This was a former State Park but is now locked off from vehicle traffic so you can use the existing roads for biking, hiking, etc. We saw plenty of beautiful birds and butterflies within the area. Be warned that the two mile hiking trail to the Rio Grande river was fairly remote and strenous, but well worth the effort. If you like to golf there are numerous golf courses in the area with very reasonable rates. As you can imagine, you will need to make reservations well in advance. They are taking reservations right now for next year, and rest assured I will be on the list for next January. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

New park outside of Bentsen State Park (they no longer allow RV camping). Sites in a circle - good plants for butterflies and maybe in a year or two birds. Still being completed. Wireless internet - deposit allows hard and software. Phone e-mail available. Internet phone available. Everything is new and clean. Staff very nice and helpful. Just outside of Bentsen State Park (without the campground - only a few feeding stations are serviced). Volunteers work very hard to tell you where to go in Park to see birds. Sunsets at the end of March 04 were wonderful! We camped here in a Motorhome.

55+ park. Managers and people in park were all extremely friendly. Access to McAllen and other city shopping is easy. It is more a seasonal park for the same people who come every year, but they make even short term travelers feel very welcome. Sites are a little close, but they all are in the area. The grounds are kept up and the appearance is very eye appealing. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
