Broke Mill RV, Site #10

We’ve just departed Del Rio after spending 3 nights at Broke Mill RV park.  A favorite of ours, this is a perfect place to land after several days off-the-grid in Big Bend.  The internet is some of the best we’ve found and the 50+ channels of cable TV will allow everyone to catch up on world events.   Plus the other facilities are top-notch where you can do laundry for $1.25/load, workout in the well-appointed gym or enjoy luxuriously long showers in the bath house.  But, with chilly nights, the very inviting pool is still a bit cool.

As we noted last year, the sites are lush grass, some nearly completely private with tall foliage.  We’re in an end site #10, which has an extended lawn area and nice shrubs all around.  The only downside to this park is the traffic noise from highway 90.  Fairly easy to drown out with A/C or a fan, it may unfortunately get worse as the loop road around Del Rio becomes more heavily trafficked.   Sites that might offer a bit of noise protection are #35 & #36.  But, for value, quality and location, you can’t beat Broke Mill.

We’re off to Laredo, to another favorite campground, Casa Blanca International State Park.  More from there…
