Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Steve (hubby) is taking early retirement due to his health problems.  His last day will be Nov. 24th.  Can't wait.  We are looking at a 99 Georgia Boy and plan on heading toward Texas after Christmas.  We are looking at spending the winter near or in the Gulf coast area.  Looking for suggestions for a family  orientated area as we have an 11 year old son.

We are so new to this lifestyle that we have frost on the back of our ears. LOL  Is there any area that couples with children seem to favor over others.

I was under the impression that lots of families travel with children. Am I wrong?

Yes, there are lots of families traveling with kids. Having kids at most rv parks is not a problem. When I read your initial message my brain went to south texas snowbird sorts of parks where most campers are going to be a little older.

Maybe a different way to ask is to identify things that are important to you in an rv park. Based on that we could probably give you some ideas.

I completely lost my last post, no idea where it went. LOL
Any way, I will have to sit down with hubby and son and find out what they feel is most important. I do know that warm climate is #1.

Be carefull in Florida...my daughter and husband and 2 kids are going to be in Florida for the winter months and she had to call several RV parks that would allow children more than 2 weeks at a time.

Google: Hill Shade RV Park in Gonzales, Texas. It is run by a kid friendly family and is on I-10 going toward San Antonio. $300 a month. The Phone # is 830-437-2428. There is also a couple of reviews.

Thanks Pieere, it looks like a great place for a kid and for the old folks (me and Steve). Does the $300 cover hookups? I didn't see anything on their site about hookups.

You might also check out Oak Forest RV Park in Austin.

It looks like a pretty nice park with some nice amenities. You're close to the Texas Hill Country and can make day trips to San Antonio. We LOVE Austin. Great food. Lots of free activities, festivals etc. Very eclectic city.

If you guys are interested on the Gulf Coast around Corpus Christi or Port Aransas, I'll ask around about kid friendly places. Corpus Christi is our hometown.
