  1. It sure did. I used "campground" in quotes because of that. You get a envelope in the box at the entrance and put your $20 in it, and fill your your info, and put it back in the box.. No office or anything. It is all honor system. The power was only 30 amp but checked it out before hooking up. It was very quiet, much better than Green Tree Village in San Antonio. Did not hear a alarm siren all night long in Langtry!!! And no cell phone service or TV either. Read a book.


  2. Stayed the past two days in San Antonio Tx at Green Tree Village North RV Park. A nearby alarm type siren went off several times every night, all hours of the night. We stayed here because it was close to April's cousin who we visited. I think we both agreed that our preference in San Antonio would have been Travelers World RV Resort. April went to Witte Museum and shopping with her cousin. We went to the Market Square (Mercado) where I got a nice leather phone case at the leather store there. Leaving in morning for Langtry, Tx


  3. Stayed at Jamaica Beach RV Park on Galveston Island. This has to rate right up with the best of any RV parks we have ever stayed at. All concrete roads and sites! Full hook ups. Miniature golf and a fishing pond beside it. Also a small herd of Alpacas. Excellent park and just far enough outside Galveston proper that it did not have all the hustle and bustle of the city. We were there the whole week

    We visited all the sights and drove down to Surfside Beach at the bottom of Galveston Island one day. It was foggy almost every day we were there.. But no snow and it was warm most of the time!!!


  4. In Meridian, MS, we overnighted at Benchmark RV Park. It was a nice place for a overnight stay.

    In Breaux Bridge, La, we overnighted at Poche's Fish-N-Camp. Very nice campground on a lovely little fishing pond. It was a bit off I-10, but not all that bad, although some gave it bad reviews because of that. We thought it was a perfect spot.

    Both the above were Passport America rates.


  5. Usually travel several says to a destination. For our overnights, we often stop at Walmarts. I keep track of which Walmarts allow overnight parking at http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/walmartrving/ , which maintains a list of stores that allow overnight parking. I always ask for a "member of management" inside the store for permission to park, and ask where they prefer me to park. Have had to move to their preferred location many times. You never know - way in front, on the side, way in back on side, or anywhere on perimeter of the lot.

    I always try to line up so I can easily pull out in morning into a driving lane. Have never had any problems at any of the stores I have parked at. I prefer to find a Walmart a bit away from the interstate and in a smaller town or city. Try to stay away from the trucks, but often wake up with them surround me.

    FMCA has joined with other RV groups in a Industry-sanctioned Code of Conduct concerning parking in Walmart lots. -

    "RVers’ Good Neighbor Policy
    1. Stay one night only!
    2. Obtain permission from a qualified individual.
    3. Obey posted regulations.
    4. No awnings, chairs, or barbecue grills.
    5. Do not use hydraulic jacks on soft surfaces (including asphalt).
    6. Always leave an area cleaner than you found it.
    7. Purchase gas, food, or supplies as a form of thank you, when feasible.
    8. Be safe! Always be aware of your surroundings and leave if you feel unsafe."
    You can print out this code of conduct. It is available in the files at the Yahoo Groups WalmartRVing site linked in the first paragraph.
