Area Attractions

The Rio Grande Valley offers the better of two worlds: the bustling newness of a rapidly growing economy, and the old-world charm that stems from its proximity to Mexico and its own rich history. The wonderful subtropical climate with mild winters  draws "Winter Texans" from all over North America, this is a camping region ripe with travel opportunities.

Shopping and dining in Mexico are minutes away and the mountains of Mexico’s interior are just a half-day’s drive. The emerald surf of South Padre Island, one of the premier resorts on the Gulf of Mexico is less than 2 hours away.
