The cabins typically include electricity, water hookups, and air conditioning to combat the Texas heat. Most provide basic furnishings with varying levels of kitchen facilities. ["Loved all the activities/entertainment they offered," noted one visitor about their resort experience.] Bathrooms with showers and toilet facilities are standard at most cabin locations, though amenities differ between properties.

    Tropical Trails RV Resort

    Tropical getaway - just a short drive from South Padre

    Great new RV resort close to everything, easy access, and Fiber optic internet.
    We really enjoy the large heated pool. Our dog enjoys his walks to the dog park.
    It's a short drive to the beach and SpaceX is close, we just watched the latest test flight.
    A big plus is a space between lots here, your neighbors are not 5 ft away like the island parks, here it is more like 50 feet.
    Our lot has room for our truck and a picnic table.
    We learned how to play Pickle Ball- what a hoot and good cardio also.
    Plenty going on to stay busy-we took a dolphin watching trip and saw plenty of them.
    Next up is fishing from the pier,

    Encore Sunshine

    Nice amenities, quiet for off-season

    We stayed here a month in April 2019. We originally were going to stay two weeks, but we extended due to the great birding in the area. It was off-season and the park was very quiet. Many times, it felt like we had to place to ourselves. We are not 55+, but according to the office staff they are an 80/20 park so up to 20% of occupants can be less than 55. They do, however, restrict people with kids. Doesn’t hurt to call and ask if you are interested in staying. The park has many amenities, including, mail room, pool, spa, showers, laundry, pickle ball courts, horseshoe courts, and shuffleboard courts.  Many of the occupants are full-time residents or winter-only with permanent structures, but they had numerous sites available for short-time stays. Our site was nice and level and we had full hook-up. The staff was very nice and accommodated our last-minute stay and our change to a monthly visit. This was a great spot for us because we were close to many good birding spots. Estero Llano, South Padre Island, Santa Ana, Hugh Ramsey Park, and Laguna Atascosa NWR are within an hour drive. The park is also close to grocery and other stores. Nearby is everything you need. As I said, the park was quiet, but there is a train nearby that would come through in the early morning sometimes which was annoying. The park was well maintained, but there were some potholes that need to be fixed. They were doing some sewer pipe construction when we were there, so hopefully some of those roads will be patched. The price for a month stay plus electricity was reasonable. It was starting to get a bit warm while we were there, but they do have a nice breeze most of the time, so mosquitoes were not an issue. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will stay here again.

    Tropical Trails RV Resort

    A true 'Resort', well-spaced lots super well maintained!

    Check-in was a breeze. The lady in the front office was very nice, and told us everything we needed to know about the resort. 

    The one thing I absolutely love about Tropical Trails(if I had to pick one) is that the spaces between sites are some of the largest I've seen. It's so refreshing not to be right on top of your neighbor, even if they are super nice(which ours were). 

    Some of the other benefits that I thought were noteworthy: 

    High Speed Internet(ethernet from the pedestal) was very fast(over 100mbit). No issues with multiple 4k stream, and/or Zoom/Teams calls. It's been an absolute joy to carry out my daily work without any network disruption. 

    Cleanliness of the park is incredible, staff is more than welcoming and ready to address any needs. 

    Gated access with PIN code entry is a plus, even though the area seems very nice, and somewhat remote. 

    They provide you with a newer(and clean) picnic table and a nice covered fireplace(and wood!). 

    If I had to find something negative to say it'd be that I wish there was more grass and less dirt between the sites. 

    That said, it's a pretty new park, and I am sure they're working on that. Also, this is TX, not MN. I bet it's harder to get grass to grow due to lack of precip. 

    They have planted a lot of palm(and other) trees, but they're still growing so there isn't much shade at the moment. 

    There are train tracks on the north end of the resort, and we were very close(as close as you can be) to them. Train seems to roll through at about 1030pm every night, but you honestly don't even notice after the first night. 

    We kept extending our stay by a few days here, a few days there as we didn't want to leave, but alas, people are finding this place, and we weren't able to keep our spot any longer. 

    We're heading to FL very soon, but we'll definitely be back to Brownsville and we won't even consider another RV resort.

    Encore Lakewood

    Very Pet Friendly. Great amenities

    If you are near the border and are looking for a great place for your furry companion, Lakewood RV Resort is a great stop.  It's near South Padre Island, and the border. If you're looking for a location where you can stay and experience nice amenities though, this is great for that as well. 

    Don't expect rustic or run down locations here. Full RV hookups, pools, billiards, and outdoor activities for all ages, but especially seniors. I can't recommend this place enough!

    Tropical Trail Mobile Home & RV Park

    Not so Great

    All considering this park needs a lot and is neglected and over rated. Stayed her for a week based on reviews and is not what we expected. First the park is in the middle of no where and I mean no where. Nothing within biking distance or walking distance, the winds are non stop windy. The grass is still, well there isn’t any nor do they water to grow any, was all weeds which they don’t keep trimmed or cut. Dust and dirt in the trailer everyday. The water is incredibly hard and stains everything. The pool(only 1 pool for the size of this park) get full quick. If you don’t have your seat or chair by 9am bring your own. Oh yah, though they do offer good rates on gold carts, you will need it because it’s a long drive to the pool. There is also a daily resort fee per person for whatever reason they tack onto your bill. The park is way over rated and way over priced considering all the conditions I listed. And the funny part of this, if you go to there website they claim it’s a 9.5 star according to good sams reviews, yet when you go to good sams reviews to look up there park it isn’t listed. Definitely don’t recommend this park nor will we ever return.

    Bentsen Palm Village RV Park

    Beautiful park with lots of amenities!

    This RV park/resort is abundant in beautiful plantings and trees! It feels like a true tropical resort. There are many amenities including a nice swimming pool. The sites are large with FHU and 50amp. They have lots of outdoor activities around the park and are next door to the Rio Grande State Park. Great place to stay!

Guide to Alamo

Cabins near Alamo, Texas serve as an accessible base for exploring the Rio Grande Valley region. Located in southern Texas with flat terrain and subtropical climate, these accommodations experience average winter temperatures of 70°F and summer highs regularly exceeding 95°F. Most cabin rentals in this area cater to winter visitors seeking to escape colder northern climates from November through March.

What to do

Birding opportunities: Bentsen Palm Village RV Park provides access to world-class bird watching at the adjacent Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park. "World birding center @ Bentsen State Park. National Butterfly Center," notes reviewer George R., highlighting the prime location for wildlife observation.

Water activities: Rental equipment is available at several properties for exploring local waterways. Bentsen Palm Village RV Park offers "pontoon boat, bicycles, kayaks" according to George R., making water exploration accessible without bringing your own gear.

Crafting facilities: Woodworking enthusiasts can continue their hobby while staying at Bentsen Palm Village RV Park, which features a "Wood Shop" among its amenities as mentioned by George R.

Winter community activities: Countryside Mobile Home & RV Park organizes regular social gatherings for guests. According to Donald N., these include "live entertainment and country jam weekly, pot lucks and special events," providing structured social opportunities during extended stays.

What campers like

Tropical landscaping: Properties with established gardens create a distinct South Texas atmosphere. Jeff & Steff note that Bentsen Palm Village RV Park "is abundant in beautiful plantings and trees! It feels like a true tropical resort."

Pet amenities: Several resorts offer dedicated facilities for travelers with dogs. Bluebonnet RV Resort features "a dog bath and dog playground" according to Jim B., who described their stay as "enjoyable for entire winter."

Space considerations: The layout at Split Rail RV Park & Resort accommodates various cabin and RV combinations. Joan R. notes it's an "older park but well maintained" with "plenty of activities to keep you busy," making it suitable for extended winter stays.

Game facilities: Indoor and outdoor games provide recreational options during variable weather. At Countryside Mobile Home & RV Park, Donald N. mentions "shuffle board, horse shoes, billiards, card games five nights a week" among the available activities.

What you should know

Age restrictions: Many properties specifically cater to older adults. Split Rail RV Park & Resort operates as a "55+" community according to their listing, limiting options for younger visitors and families.

Reservation timing: Winter season cabins book months in advance due to the "Winter Texan" phenomenon. Nancy D. from Bluebonnet RV Resort shares, "This winter was our first ever to be a Winter Texan... We have reserved a spot next year."

Regional exploration limitations: Some visitors find the surrounding area offers limited long-term interest. Lynn A. C. spent "10 wks this winter" at Bentsen Palm Village RV Park and found that "while the park had plenty of activities, the area doesn't. Hit the museums and lotsa flea mkts within the first month."

Discount programs: Some resorts participate in camping discount networks. Countryside Mobile Home & RV Park offers rates of "$15 per night with Passport America" according to Donald N., significantly reducing costs for program members.

Tips for camping with families

Site selection priority: Request cabin locations near recreational facilities when traveling with children. At Magic Valley Resort, Ashley F. notes they're "minutes from the beaches of South Padre Island," making it well-positioned for family day trips to coastal attractions.

Community dynamics: Consider the predominantly retirement-age demographic when booking. Lynn A. C. observed "lots of cliquey campers" at Bentsen Palm Village RV Park, which may affect the social experience for families with children.

Seasonal programming: Winter months feature the most robust activity calendars. Joan R. arrived at Split Rail RV Park "in time for evening of Christmas carols and fellowship" with "staff helpful and residents friendly."

Tips from RVers

Site layout considerations: The design of RV parks affects maneuverability for vehicles towing cabin trailers. George R. specifically recommends Bentsen Palm Village RV Park because its "unique hub-and-spoke circle design allows ample space to maneuver even the biggest RVs."

Monthly rate options: Extended-stay pricing offers significant savings over nightly rates. Donald N. mentions that Countryside Mobile Home & RV Park offers "monthly and long-term rates available" beyond the standard $30 nightly rate.

Utility connections: Most cabin accommodations include full hookups. Jeff & Steff confirm that at Bentsen Palm Village RV Park "the sites are large with FHU and 50amp," allowing for comfortable extended stays regardless of accommodation type.
