Hidden Valley RV Park – Del Rio, TX

We were looking for a warm winter get-away, and decided to check out Hidden Valley RV Park in Del Rio Texas. I am so glad we did! We arrived in October to tee shirt and shorts weather, and it stayed that way all through the winter months!

Hidden Valley RV Park caters to the 55+ retired crowd, and that is just fine with us. Large, spacious lots, 30 – 50 feet wide by 60 – 100 feet deep, lots of trees and a Large Lounge at “The Wash”, which also has a large laundry facility. There are no public restrooms or public showers on site, so you must be self-contained.

When we first arrived, the owner met us at Walmart and led us to the park. We loved the site we picked and decided to stay a month. Rate was $325.00 plus 12 cents electric per month, and we could pay with cash or check. After just a week, we decided to stay through the entire winter months!

The park is located on the south side of Del Rio at the end of a dead end street. A herd of deer graze in the meadow next door. It is quiet and peaceful; no road noise! There is a nice museum nearby, as well as a winery, and a small HEB neighborhood store which can be easily biked to. On the main road in Del Rio – US 90 (Veteran’s Boulevard) there is a Walmart, Home Depot, a large HEB, a Mall, and just about everything one needs, including lots of restaurants!

I was a bit concerned about being this close to the border, but it seems Del Rio and the Mexico city of Acuna have a great relationship. The International Bridge between the two cities bring workers from both towns back and forth, and residents of both are happy. We never heard of any “incidents”, or issues during our stay. We felt perfectly secure.

Activities, Markets, and Festivals take place all through the year, and I was surprised at how much art culture is here. First Friday Art Walks, Cooking and Gardening Classes, Craft Markets, Movie Nights, a live Theatre group, and Lake Amistad all provide lots to do while staying in Del Rio.

We loved both Hidden Valley RV Park and the City of Del Rio! We plan to return next winter and stay here again.

So-Hi Campground – Accord, NY

Campground and RV Park Reviews | RVBuddy.com

This was the worst campground at which I have ever stayed.

From the moment I drove in, I felt like this was a big mistake. The main building look run down and uninviting. When I entered the main rest room, there were three toilets. One was out of order, one had a broken toilet seat and the remaining one was absolutely filthy. To their credit it was all cleaned up the next morning. Not a pleasant welcome, however. The site was very rocky and very difficult to get level. There was also trash on the site.

I would not stay here again.

Cypress Grove RV Park – Gold Hill, OR

Cypress Grove is a cute little park. Most overnight spaces are not long enough for a truck and 5th wheel, so you need to squeeze your truck in sideways somehow.

This is a very clean park. Two managers, the man is nice and told us where to park our truck, however within a couple minutes the female manager knocks on the side of our rv, and says, “Is this your truck? You can’t park here. Move it now.” I told her the other manager said to park here…okay, so we move it. Don’t want any trouble.

Bottom line is for an overnight stay, next time we will either boondock on the side of a road. Definately would not stay here again as there was another so-called run in with the female manager the next morning.

Tall Pines is a great campground. There is nice scenery, and friendly owners and staff.

Amenities include and inground swimming pool, basketball, canoeing, and fishing. They have theme weekends, parties, special events, and entertainment. Also 2 arcade rooms, mini golf, a rec hall and dining area. They have a well stocked Country Gift and Camp Store and a Pizzeria & Grill.

The bathrooms are kept sparkling clean. You can get ice cream sundaes at the store and food on Friday and Saturday night, as well as Sunday morning breakfast.

I give it a solid 4 stars.

Will stay there again!

Rio Del Sol RV Haven – Big River, CA

Rio Del Sol RV Haven campground is in a good location. For 4 years, we enjoyed the seclusion and being on the Colorado River, but new managers have changed our future retirement plans. The park enjoys beautiful sunrises and sunsets, but the things that really count have been compromised in the last year. Washrooms and showers are not cleaned regularly, and the grassy areas, although nice, are not mowed frequently, We liked the clubhouse, the activities and the friendly people, but many of those people have moved from the park also. Management made many promises of upkeep that were never kept. Just not the park we want to spend our winters in any more.
The park does have 50 amp service, but only in 5 or 6 of the 104 sites. The sites are a reasonable size, but the size of the trees have caused problems for some units.

The park is very dusty, and I think that the new inexperienced management is unsure how to run an RV park. The rules change frequently but guests are not advised of the changes. This has caused much dissension in the park and many long time winter guests have left in mid season.

With management change, this could be a good park again.

 

 

Palm Beach Traveler RV Park – Lantana, FL

I stayed at Palm Beach Traveler RV Park for an extended period due to work in the area. At first glance, it seems well kept and seems adequate for comfortable living.

The sites are very tight. I could hear my neighbors every move. The pool is indoor, and there is no sundeck at all. The showers and bath house are clean, but old and not easy for disabled people. The laundry facilities are small, but have convenient debit swipe cards. Any “events” that are provided (I saw 3 in 10+ months) are chintzy – with the very least done by management. Sewers in the back smell often. Power surges were also an issue, but water pressure was great. Rates will change on a whim, and the new rates for the 2017-2018 season are not a good value. Other parks charging these rates have way more to offer.

The biggest issue that I had with this park is the management’s attitude. Not friendly! I have seen repeated abuses by management toward guests, both long and short term. If you have kids, find another place as they will be followed and harassed by management. If you annoy them for any reason, like breaking any of the ever growing list of rules, you will become subject to retaliatory actions. I have seen management inspect your site looking for dog waste you might have missed, and they selectively enforce the rules.

If you are looking for a fun, relaxed campground, I suggest that you go elsewhere. Until the current management is gone, I will not return to this park.

Felix Poche Plantation – Convent, LA

Felix Poche Plantation is one of the best campgrounds (really a RV Resort) we have ever stayed at! The ambience is certainly something we will remember. It’s just a easy place to love.

Thanks to the entire staff. It was Louisiana hospitality at it’s best. We enjoyed the free tour of the Mansion but the historic grave yard and grotto inside the historic church had such great artchitecture. It was just beautiful! The walks along the Mississippi river with provided amazing sunsets on the water… We really enjoyed the band and feast at the Thursday Night Feast known as Fiddler Night. The music was moving.

Thanks and we will spread the word of this jewel of Cajun Louisiana.
