Rating: 7 10 10 7 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Rate based on seasonal. Very pretty park, located near shopping and service needs. Washrooms and showers very well maintained, but showers and change areas very small. New well equipped fitness facility. Cons: Very poor activity organization and communications. Activities signed up for the day offered are over booked on arrival. Activities cancelled or moved with no notice or sign, and activities director seemed never to know anything. Concert seating not first come first serve, but based on number of previous years of stay. Newcomers get the back of the bus, even behind non-park residents. (Locals get to jump the queue.) Despite park rules with regard to traffic, many people raced around the park at speeds far above the 10 - 15 MPH limit, ignored stop signs, etc. The park made no effort to enforce basic traffic rules for safety. Internet speed was good when working, but frequently unavailable. (As confirmed by neighbors.) Much of the park has no grass, just weeds and sandy mud. These areas are over run by red ants, which invaded a neighbor's coach and infested it in the millions. No fault of the park, but weather was mostly overcast and cold, with occasional sunny windy days. There is little to do in the area beside South Padre Island (1.5 hour drive) or Nuevo Progresso Mexico (20 min drive). Would not stay here again, or recommend it to anyone. - nobghuri
The BEST ENCORE Resort we have ever stayed in. We do have one issue with the laundry. The laundry card is based upon a magnetic stripe and cost $3.00. The laundry card I had to buy at ENCORE Southern Comfort is based upon a chip and cost $2.00. These are not interchangeable. I could not use up the last $1.00 remaining on the card at Victoria Palms because the machines do not permit the combination of a card and coins. Moreover, the machine that reloads the cards requires a minimum of $5.00. The minimum should be $1.00 and this I might end up with $0.25 cents left over on the card. Now I have to keep this card with me for a year until I return to VP next year....quite an investment! Park has excellent wi-fi! - michaelsutton
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Victoria Palms RV Resort »An OK deal at their promotional price but otherwise value not so great. It is more of a classy resort than an RV park. Did not enjoy diapered babies and kids in what is clearly marked as a resident seniors pool. Huge park ...big ballroom ....big restaurant. Good entertainment books up early so do not procrastinate. Lots of non residents come for this. Kind of neat to watch the parrots every night at 5:00. - Unclebob

Rating: 10 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The park was exceptionally quiet at night. The park includes numerous, tall, palm trees. Not much shade provided. The park is 2-3 miles from downtown Weslaco, although we found the downtown to be more Mexican and Spanish. A few buildings in Weslaco do exhibit the Spanish Colonial style of architecture. The RV camp is within 30-45 min of McAllen, Mission, Alamo, Donna, and Harlingen, where numerous big box stores exist. Numerous stores are within a short drive, including my favourite, Starbucks and Sprouts Health Food market. The RV park was not crowed. And thus, the sites were well spaced for privacy. Many folks live in park models and mobile home type models. Sites for travel trailers were level grass with a concrete pad for parking a vehicle. The only limitation on our site was the steep ramp from the street to the grass site and the sewer hookup; but the Camp Office sent out a maintenance person how arrived before we go to the site. He helped jerry-rig and duct tape PVC tubing and a donut to connect our hose to the sewer hole which was quite far away. The park is visitor friendly, and many folks know each other, so when we walked around a lot of the residents greeted us and welcomed us since we seemed to be new arrivals. The resort has a wide range of planned activities scheduled for the 55+ crowd-shuffleboard, card games, exercise class, lunches/dinners, crafts, etc., and well attended. We use an RV Filter Store System for filtering our water, and the result was a clean taste. Our Verizon Hotspot reception was very good to excellent and the free park Wi-Fi in the activity center was useful when I had Zoom teleconference calls with my doctoral students. We received very high-quality OTA TV stations. - michaelsutton
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Southern Comfort RV Resort (55+ park) »$20.50 per night was the Passport America rate for a full hookup site for three nights. Sites are level grass with a concrete pad for parking a vehicle and setting up chairs/table/BBQ unit. The park is very quiet at night. The park does have palm trees, but they wouldn't provide much shade in the summertime, as well as many bush-type and flowering plants. The park is near downtown Weslaco so there are many conveniences within a short drive. If you like walking/biking there are many miles of paved trails in town. Fishing/boating is available on the Gulf. Spacing between the sites was fairly generous being that there are many people living in mobile home type models. The park has many “winter Texans” who are very friendly. There are many activities scheduled in this 55+ park—shuffleboard, card games, exercise class, lunches/dinners, crafts, and the like. City water is chlorinated safe but not tasty. We received excellent AT&T and Verizon LTE reception. Park Wi-Fi is available for an extra fee. We received 10 over-the-air TV stations. - DD Rolling Ranch

Rating: 8 8 8 9 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Friendly staff and fellow campers and full timers. All hook up available. Some permanent homes on site. People very friendly. - sgstepp
Price is through Passport America. plus add $4 per night resort fee. So makes it 24.50 night. This is mostly permanent park model homes, and winter quarters for snow birds. We were just passing through the area, and didn't use any ameninities. Our space barely fit our 43' RV and our space was very narrow. Thank goodness there was no one right next to us. All people we came in contact with were very pleasant. No problem getting around the park in RV. Great location for dentists in Progresso. No Wi-if. No trees to block satellite. Good antenna channels. All utilities worked fine. Not really our style of campground we're usually looking for. - OnTheRoadLife
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Country Sunshine RV Resort »Rate was $99 for a week, plus $4 per day for resort fee for first time park visitors. Regular rate was $39 plus $4 per day resort fee. The park was very neat and clean. Our site had a grass parking spot that was large enough for our 30 ft. fifth wheel and had a wide paved pad for our truck. The only draw back was that all connections were at the back of the site and we had to connect two water hoses and had to borrow a sewer hose to reach. The snowbirds that reside here are very friendly and there are lots of activities. The pool heater was not working during our stay, but we were able to go to the sister park next door and use the pool there. There are fruit trees all around the park from which we could pick from. There was no problem with road noise and we only heard a train once in a while. - BigR

Rating: 5 9 8 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Rates were Passport America rates. Large 55+ park, the pool and clubhouse areas were well maintained. Individual sites were not well maintained; grass/weeds were full of sharp burrs (especially bad for dogs or walking barefoot), sewer connections were overgrown(even the worker showing us to our first site could not find it!), our eventual site had a broken PVC sewer connector, and the ants were Texas huge and EVERYWHERE! The interior roads and layout are not friendly to 40 footers, (tight lanes and turns with one-way streets). There was only 1 garbage location within this multi-acre park and it was at the front edge instead of being centrally located. The water had heavy mineral content which left white spots on the rig and car. I would not do this one again. - rvrrat520
Friendly people good amenities and many things to do tennis courts, heated swimming pool, twenty shuffleboard courts, and Exercise & Table Tennis Room. Enjoyed it and will be back. - susie2Q
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Alamo Palms Mobile Park (55+ park) »Alamo Palms is an older, well-maintained, over 55 RV and mobile home park known for its many activities. The park is secured by a fence and has gate attendants. The roads and pads are blacktopped, and each site has a concrete patio. There were thirty-eight foot plus motor homes in the park even though the RV sites are small. At times barking dogs, etc. were a problem. Management seemed reluctant to enforce the Pet Policy. The daily rate which includes cable TV and wireless, reflects a thirty day or longer stay. - Alamo

Great staff, new park manager who is making needed repairs and upgrades. Activity director who has planned lots of activities. Monthly rentals pay electricity which are THE cheapest rates in the Valley...about.08/kwh. Propane delivery to site (Hino Gas). Close to all amenities in Harlingen including the new Bass Pro Shop.

Pull-Thru SitesPool AccessBig Rig AccessPets AllowedWaterfront AccessTents AllowedReviews of Paradise Park RV Resort
Rating: 5 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: A good portion of this park is devoted to full-time residents. Most transient sites seem to be filled by working people and longer term snowbirds. The facilities are clean. There is a nice pool that would be great in warmer months. There is an active group of people that meet for recreation and fellowship. The transient sites are narrow with small covered patios (no picnic tables) on both sides that make it difficult to situate your trailer where both the utilities are convenient and you can extend slideouts between them. We had to purchase an extra 20' of sewer hose (40' total) so that we could extend our slideout. The internet was non-existent unless you are in the rec hall. The dog facilities are poor and sandburrs abound. Our site was directly under a high power line. We were there during a holiday & offices were closed so we can't comment on their service. - Dahna
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Paradise Park RV Resort »We had never been to the Rio Grande Valley before and reserved only the month of December at this park since we had reservations elsewhere for January. By the end of December we wanted to stay longer, but were committed to our other reservation. We were members of Thousand Trails and took advantage of their reduced rates. Our December monthly rate was approximately $444 plus about $44 for electric. We chose this park because it had the largest swimming pool of all Encore RV parks in the RGV. December, 2013 was unusually cold in the RGV and we did not have as many opportunities to enjoy the pool as we had hoped. Everyone at the park was very friendly and encouraged us to participate in the activities at the park. We attended the Christmas Day dinner and the New Year’s Eve dinner and dance. The food was quite good, but it was the friendliness of the other residents that made it memorable. At the New Year’s Eve dinner someone told us we would wish we had stayed at this park instead of moving. They were right. - Rialta Don

Rating: 8 9 9 9 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Tropic Winds is a clean quiet park. RV sites are a good distance apart. Park has a good number of activities to appease everyone. Called ahead of time to acquire about a mailing address for some packages expected. We were given instructions on where to go when we arrived on Sunday. Office was closed. We found a spot and set up. On Monday we were told we were in the the wrong area and the instructions we were given were incorrect. We had to move spots. Another couple had the same situation. No apology given. The original spot we had taken was empty the whole two weeks we were there. The mailing address for a UPS package that we were given was also wrong. The package could not be delivered. We had to go to the UPS depot to pick it up. Other than those two issues Tropic Winds is a fine park. Management could use a few lessons in communication and customer service. - Wilhelms
The sites are large and deep, and the campground large. There are many cottages, often with trailers fitted into sites between them. There are a lot of full time people, or people who own the cottages and spend the winter here. And there are also a lot of "seasonal" people. We found there were only a handful at any given time of "transient" travelers. There are 4 buildings --the main hall and office, the library with half a dozen tables for card games or puzzles, the gym with two each of pool tables and dart boards plus exercise equipment, and the woodworking shop. The one thing that I did not enjoy was the wind. It can be horrific, or just very strong, rarely absent. There is a small fenced area for dogs. This could be much bigger and more useful unless you have small dogs. I have decided to spend next winter there because the people are so nice, so friendly, so helpful, so sociable. - Meeska
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Tropic Winds RV Resort (55+ Park) »This is a great RV park by the airport, somewhat out in the country - 531 sites. The roads are nice & wide and the spots have some space to them. There are many activities available. You pick & choose which ones suit you. We looked at 2 other Encore places. One where the roads are too narrow for our RV and another which has 1200 sites and where the cost is double. Pick the one that works the best for you. - JMCherry

Rating: 7 6 9 8 10 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed for 30 days. Lots of activities here at the park, the people were all very friendly. The park is somewhat dated, pool and hot tub where awesome. Our power went off a few times, there seemed to be a problem with one of the circuit breakers that looked after a few sites. Took them a few days to fix the problem. Glad we had an automatic generator in our rig, so when the power went off, the generator came on automatically to run our air conditioners to keep Ben (our dog) cool. Other than the multiple problems with the sewer we had a great time! - Kevin and Barb 1
Rate reflects monthly special for first time visitor, electricity is additional. As stated by other reviewers, it's a dated park with narrow streets and sites. Online photos represent only about a dozen sites in the park. The number one attribute of the park is the friendliness of the people in the park. They have a volunteer corps that is so welcoming. Same can't be said of the office staff. Amenities are of average quality. Highway noise is limited as is any outside noise in comparison to many RV parks which are typically sandwiched in undesirable real estate along highways. Several dog runs for your furry friend. Fire ants are a problem as sites are grass only or grass with cement patio area. Many of the permanent "mobile" homes are 40 year old trailers which have had additions added to them so they can be pretty or pretty unsightly. Several look like relics and should demolished. Not likely to return. - Sasquatchewan
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Fun-N-Sun RV Resort »We stayed at Fun-N-Sun because friends were there and had recommended it. There are a LOT of activities, so if you're bored it's your own fault. It's not our normal cup of tea, as we prefer the outdoors and good motorcycle roads, but after spending the winter getting ready to full-time and selling the house, we were SO done with the cold. This resort was a good way to relax and get used to the slower pace that retirement and full-timing requires, and the warmth was mostly welcome. It did get a bit muggy earlier than normal this year (we heard), so March was 80+ almost every day, and sometimes pushing 90s. Everyone we encountered was super-friendly, from the staff to the guests to the people who live there year-round. You can't ask for a nicer bunch to hang around with. Our site was selected after we spent the first night in the overflow area (we arrived after the office had closed, and the site they had assigned was WAY too tight), which was nice and had full hookups and a lawn. When we found the site we'd fit in, we took up most of a back-to-back site, and were able to pull through since the other side was empty (and stayed that way). The site was dirt and grass, and of course there were ants everywhere, so we couldn't put down our mat - we tried that, it rained, and when we picked it up one corner was swarming with them! Yikes! We were told they were fire ants, so we were careful to avoid their hills after that. The park has live music every Friday during the "season", and one of the largest dance floors in Texas. We had a great time, and hope to return next winter for a couple weeks. - Denise and Glenn
