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!!
As some of you know I've been working at Retama Village in Mission Texas since late January 2013. After a lot of changes I'm finally getting my feet on the ground and wanted to let you all know that if you are looking for a place to park the RV for a few months in the winter, we have some great opportunities. I'm really enjoying the community and if I can't RV fulltime right now, at least I get to hangout with some of the best people in the world -- other RVers!
Below is some information about Retama Village. The website has more information about pricing, etc.
RETAMA VILLAGE is the first Active Adult Community built for the new generation of active retirees coming to the Rio Grande Valley. Retama Village is located within the 2,500-acre Bentsen Palm Development Master Planned Community in Mission, Texas and has access to the multitude of ecological wonders surrounding this very special community. Located within walking distance are the World Birding Center Headquarters at Bentsen-RGV State Park (the top birding sight in the U.S.), the North American Butterfly Association’s new International Butterfly Park (the largest outdoor butterfly park in the world), and thousands of acres of state and federally protected pristine wildlife habitat including lakes, parks, and the Rio Grande River. Taking its cue from the surrounding ecological lifestyle, Bentsen Palm has developed extensive hike and bike trails, community parks, lakes and natural areas for the private use of Bentsen Palm residents.
RETAMA VILLAGE HOMES coexist with RV Supersites in a way unlike any other neighborhood in South Texas. The Village is comprised of equally distinct and exclusive neighborhood sections separated by gorgeous restored native South Texas habitat. Esperanza Homes, Inc., the exclusive builder in Retama Village, builds the highest quality stucco Homes and RV Port Homes available anywhere. Homes available from the $150’s.
RETAMA VILLAGE RV SUPERSITES have their own featured neighborhood section that offers uniquely designed RV home sites that include an expansive concrete coach pad, automobile parking, patio, and a permanent 12’x20’ (Phase 1) or 12’x24’ (Phase 2) Texas Coach House, complete with plumbing rough-in for a full bathroom/shower and washer/dryer connection. Several options, including interior finish-out, patio areas, screened porches and other variations, are available to fit the active outdoor lifestyle found in Retama Village. RV Supersites available from the $60’s.
RV CASITA HOMES are our newest offering. These 720 sq ft 1 bedroom, 1 bath stucco homes are situated on a 50x100 foot lot with parking and full hook ups for the largest RV and available options include a covered back porch, pergola and fenced backyard. These casita homes represent a great value with prices starting at $129.900.
If you would like to come visit for a few days and see what it is all about or have questions, PM me. I would love to talk to you. Besides, then we can meet in person since I'm a little stationary at the moment!
Jack Mayer also owns a couple of lots that he rents and I believe he also has one available for sale in another classified posting. That's a good option if you want to visit for longer.

I do, in fact, have three rental sites at Retama, so if you want to check it out let me know and I will accommodate you if I can. Right now my personal lot is available for all but March/April 2014. I'd like a 3 month rental on that lot. But I'll take a month in November or October. The lot is 4105 Lark,and is in a preferred location and orientation. You can find more lots, and more rental info at RetamaRentals.com
Retama is the nicest luxury park in the Valley. It is next to Bentsen Palm Village (same developer). You can use BP facilities as well as the Retama facilities. As Carol can vouch for - this is a VERY NICE environment. No pop-ups or truck campers in Retama, and Retama is 55+. BP is any age.
If you have questions feel free to ask; I'm sure between us Carol and I can answer them.
