Tropic Winds RV Resort, Harlingen, Texas

The Rio Grande Valley, located in the southernmost tip of South Texas, lies along the northern bank of the Rio Grande River, which separates Mexico and the United States. The Valley is a haven to Winter Texans, which consist mostly of retired people who migrate annually from the cold North American climates to stay for varying lengths of time between October and May each year. Approximately 150,000 trekkers make the Valley their temporary home each winter in the 300-400 RV Parks located here.  

We chose to make the Tropic Winds RV Resort our 2012-2013 Winter Home in order to reconnect with other RV'ing friends and play lots of golf in the warm southern climate. Warm it is, but windy too, with more windy days than not, which neither Dan nor I liked at all. And although we probably won't return to this area in the future, we were able to take advantage of this location to golf, take day trips to Mexico, visit South Padre Island and Port Isabelle, and most of all spend time with friends.
