After departing Tucson, we’ve make a rapid transit of New Mexico and west Texas with our sights set on Kerrville, TX. Our first night is at Hacienda RV Resort and our second night is at Van Horn RV Park. We’ve visited both of the RV parks before and have reviewed previously. On Saturday the 29th, we arrived at Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park in Kerrville, TX. Friends have spent part of the winter here, and we’re meeting them before they return to Colorado. Fairly new to the Jellystone franchise, the former Guadalupe River Resort now boasts a water park, upgraded sites, lots of family amenities and bigger price tags. Nightly rates in March run from around $120 to over $200 for Riverfront Red Carpet sites.

Kerrville is always a good time with breweries to explore, great restaurants and of course the delicious kolaches from Snowflake Donuts. We also visited Bandra and had fun at the 11th Street Cowboy Bar and a great dinner at Trail Boss Steak and Grill. After Kerrville, we’ve spent one night at Choke Canyon State Park before arriving in the south Rio Grande Valley at Harlingen.

We’ve changed things up this year. Instead of staying on the Island in the RV, we’ll be in a condo. After watching the salt air rust nearly every exterior part (and even some interior items) we’ve decided the new Montana needs to stay further inland. We’ll leave the 5th wheel in Harlingen while we go play on the island. Our 2 bedroom/2 bath condo just steps from the Gulf beaches works out great. It’s well located for all of our favorite places and right along one of the bike paths on South Padre. After 3 weeks on the island and a few days back in Harlingen, we’re headed north.
Our first night is in Carrizo Springs, at the SB RV Park. This is a nice park located just south of town, in a quiet residential area. The park offers about 70 long pull through gravel sites, a nice outdoor pool and even some covered sites. Most of the guests appear to be long term, as are most of the parks in the part of Texas. From Carrizo Springs, we’re parked at Seminole Canyon State Park. We’ve always been intrigued as we pass by on the highway, but there’s never been any cellular service for internet. However, with our StarLink, that’s of no concern, so we opt for 2 nights here. The park visitor center is interesting and best of all, the biking trails along the canyon provide amazing views of area near the confluence of the Rio Bravo, Pecos River and the Rio Grande. And, if you are ever in Comstock, TX – don’t miss the delicious burgers and onion rings at The J & P Bar and Grill!

We continue NW along the Rio Grande until it leaves us at Big Bend. Near here we spend 1 night at the Lost Alaskan in Alpine, TX complete with a visit to our favorite restaurant in West Texas, Reata. From Texas we cross over into New Mexico and spend 1 night in Roswell, NM at the Town & Country RV Park, and 2 nights in Santa Fe at Santa Fe Sky’s.
