Best Campgrounds near Mission, TX

41 Reviews

Camping options around Mission, Texas primarily consist of established RV resorts and parks, with several facilities offering cabin accommodations. Bentsen Palm Village RV Park and Bluebonnet RV Resort provide full hookup sites with concrete pads and accommodate various camping styles including tent camping and cabin rentals. The region includes the Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park Campground, which offers more natural surroundings for tent campers seeking proximity to hiking trails and wildlife viewing opportunities. Most campgrounds in the area are located within a 10-mile radius of downtown Mission, with several positioned near the Rio Grande River.

The Rio Grande Valley experiences hot summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F, making winter the preferred camping season for many visitors. Most RV resorts in the Mission area remain open year-round, with peak visitation occurring from November through March when "Winter Texans" migrate to the region. Reservations are strongly recommended during this high season as parks frequently reach capacity. Many campgrounds enforce age restrictions, with several designated as 55+ communities. Road access to most facilities is well-maintained with paved entrances suitable for large RVs. "We spent a week at Chimney Rock in late January. As expected the weather was great. Played golf at nearby courses. Most of the people there are Winter Texans are 55+. Very friendly," noted one visitor.

Proximity to natural areas represents a significant draw for campers in the Mission region. The Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park provides excellent bird watching opportunities, with multiple visitors highlighting wildlife sightings in their reviews. A camper described it as "a beautiful park with lots of amenities" and mentioned it "feels like a true tropical resort." Several RV parks feature organized activities and amenities specifically designed for long-term winter residents, including swimming pools, shuffleboard courts, and community events. Visitors frequently mention the friendly atmosphere at local campgrounds, though some reviews indicate certain parks have maintenance issues or limited nearby attractions. The region's location near the Mexican border provides unique cultural experiences, with several reviewers mentioning day trips to border towns as part of their camping experience.

    Lazy Palm Ranch

    All in all a good quiet place to stay

    The 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

    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.
