GuideThe campground is located about 1 1/2 miles off the main highway. It is quiet. The help is friendly helpful if they would clean up, the grass burns and the stickers it would be a very nice place to stay, but it’s hard to get out of your camper and walk around because your feet load up with stickers the dogs cannot walk because of the stickers and I mean a lot of stickers
ScoutI'd love a fun night in watching movies with a few good friends

Loved all the activities/entertainment they offered. DID NOT like the daily winds of 13-40 mph.

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.

Jake here from The Dyrt! It’s been great getting to know the owner and learning about this resort. They are about an hour from South Padre Island and far enough south to keep you warm all winter long! Check out the video they posted and leave a review with some pictures when you stay here!

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!

GuidePros: Staff is friendly but, lots of cliquey campers. Spent 10 wks this winter, while the park had plenty of activities, the area doesn't. Hit the museums and lotsa flea mkts within the first month. Been there, done that, won't go back.
GuideNew park, not many trees, otherwise a great place to stay. Service was excellent, maintenance even helped set up our router, exceptional speeds too. I'd go back!

Llano Grande was a nice park and we enjoyed our stay there, but it sounded lime there were some issues with pools being heated and communication on events. We dont really use ammenities, so didnt affect us, but could hear grumbling among guests. We had a nice pull thru site, level and plenty long and were close to the laundryroom/pool. Everyone had a golf cart and it was nice to see all the activity going on. There is a big canal behind the park with a levy you can walk on, a nice rec room, a shuffleboard area, horseshoe area, three pools, pickleball courts, a golf course and very nice people. I was bummed that it was so far from the beach. There is a bird viewing state park near, costco and walmart were fairly close and South Padre Island was about an hour away.

I stayed here for February and March while visiting my aunt, who snow birds at Fig Tree. While it’s marketed as a 55+ community, they do allow a small portion of spots to be booked by younger singles or couples (I don’t think they would allow families with children, however). They have a wide array of events weekly that can be fun to attend, and the residents and staff are kind and enjoyable. The park is clean but could use some upgrades/fixing up (a fence needs to be replaced, 1-2 washer/dryers are usually out of order, the gate was broken during my stay, etc), but they are actively working on improvements. Pets are welcome, it’s about 45 minutes from South Padre, and great for day trips into Mexico.
Don’t count on their WiFi working (it is also not secured), but I did have great service with Verizon and good service with AT&T.
Overall, I would definitely consider coming back next winter.

Nice concrete pads very friendly. We were welcomed by Jim who escorted us to our site. Always something to do.

ScoutI went on a hot day but the trees surrounding the trails made the experience beautiful! We saw a turkey too!
ScoutOverpriced for what they offer. Small concrete pad that's not even aligned with the RV door. The hook ups are on the right side when the electric cable and tanks' valve is on the left so the sewer hose ended up underneath the RV. $40/night... Stayed 3 nights... waste if money.
