Huge rv park 55 older clientele. Snowbird place, mainlcanadiens (many french) Good size pool. Pickle ball, tennis, wood shop, dance classes, organized suppers bla, bla, bla. Cheap place for winter, sites are close to one another. Not busy before Christmas. Don't know after? Not much in the town. Bur McAllen is a bit bigger with Costco and all the stores you need. The park has lots of organized activities. Good spot overall We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

I would like to rate this park higher, but the staff messed that up. This is a winter haven park for seniors. There is a long list of perks and activities in the winter months. Nice quiet park with pool, pool tables, nice laundry, gym and dance hall. Beware, if you come in on a weekend the gate is locked and no one answers the phone to tell you how to get into the park. Beware, we had the OK from the office to have our RXs sent to the park, but they forgot to tell the office that handles the mail. So they sent our RXs back. It took us three days to find some one in the office to check in. I'm sure this is a busy place in the winter. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Older smaller park with very friendly staff and residents. Some full-timers, some seasonal and some short term. Wi-Fi is slow but free. Swimming pool was always 85 which was great. If you don't like wind, don't come to the valley. We tolerate the wind because we like the proximity to Progresso Mexico. Our rate reflects a first timer monthly rate. Would come here again We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We stayed for 10 days. New management is working hard to get this Resort to previous status. Prior ownership's lack of concern for RV'ers and residents led to a precipitous decline. Many of it's winter residents left for other places and RV'ers provided poor reviews on RV Park Reviews. We arrived and the Manager was waiting at the gate to be sure we arrived. GPS gave us fits while in the region, and we had to call when lost. She took us by golf cart to select a site best for us. Then, computed our rate to provide best among the various camping club discounts and the weekly rate. The larger facility is clean and the roads paved; full hook-ups, spacious sites well-maintained. Some have concrete pads to step out of your RV; otherwise, you're on grass, which is fine. No cable TV, but you'll not likely miss it with all the activities at Fig Tree or the region. And it has a decent TV signal via antenna. Restrooms/showers were under construction while we were here; but management assured us the woman's would be ready by the end of the day and they delivered with a working shower. Return another time and it will be fully functioning and modern. Park is primarily a destination of "Snow Birds/Winter Texans" and like many such resorts, there's a FULL schedule of activities. (A Sunday evening meeting of residents plans for the week and month ahead.) That's for everything from Winter Texan $10 discount seats for the RGV Killer Bees (CHL minor league hockey); Monday morning senior discount at the local multiplex followed by lunch; a trip to South Padre Island for literally the "Best Ribs" at Louis Backyard for $7.99; card games galore; free M-W-F morning dee-licious doughnuts and coffee provided by management where some of the residents gather to chat; free coffee and punch available through the day; and exercise in the pool. When we were here, the fellow cooking the weekly breakfast hadn't yet arrived. Need I go on? No? But I will; because whether you're staying a couple days, a week+ or a seasonal resident, you'll be welcomed and feel like honored family member and invited to participate in any and all of the scheduled activities. Wow! That's a difference between the average Park and Fig Tree. My take is that they won't need to use the Passport America, Campclub USA, etc., discounts to attract people much longer. Word will get around and it will be like the 25-30 year old photo of the resort near the office when it was packed during the winter, and you'll not be able to get a reservation for a short visit or will need to reserve your winter site well in-advance. The "Valley" is like that during cold Northern Winters, because the weather is an entire temperate zone further south than Houston and is a prime Snow Bird destination, for a number of reasons. Harlingen is conveniently located between larger population sources of McAllen to the west on US 83 and Brownsville or South Padre Island to the east. They have several hospitals for medical care, enough shops and restaurants in the Valley that you'll never starve. If I've any 'issue' with the Valley it is that it has grown so much since I first visited in 1993 and was last here in 2003. These days, it is mainly concrete and plazas from Brownsville to McAllen. (My two favorite restaurants: the Jerusalem Cafe and the Lone Star are closed). The other is: for a region this size, I wasn't able to locate an NPR or classic music radio station or something a Baby Boomer might enjoy. US 83 is a great 3 lane "interstate-like" expressway and the frontage roads make access pretty easy. However, because of the traffic, you're likely to hear some traffic noise regardless of where you stay in Fig Tree, and that's so for any of the dozens of Snow Bird RV Parks right along US 83. Don't let that keep you from making a reservation. You don't need earplugs. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We used Passport America and stayed the maximum of 3 nights. Our site was loaded with small "prickers" mixed in the grass at our site. They stuck to our shoes and, therefore, were tracked into our 5thwheel and truck. Some of the sites had concrete pads, but our site was dirt, some grass and "prickers"! We wondered if we were assigned this site because we were using Passport America. Most of the sites were seasonals with park models, but very neat. The seasonals were very friendly and helpful. The pool was immaculate. Large and very clean laundry room. There was a lot of construction on the highway in front of the park and the exit was closed. Not being familiar with the area, it was difficult getting to the park. There was a lot of traffic noise due to being so close to the highway. We would stay there again, but ask for a site that had a concrete pad. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is an Encore park so there is a $3.00/day 'Resort Fee' for daily rentals. This is a 'Winter Texan' destination park. Great staff, new park manager who is making needed repairs and upgrades. Activity director who has planned lots of activities. Monthly rentals pay electricity which are THE cheapest rates in the Valley...about.08/kwh. Propane delivery to site (Hino Gas). Close to all amenities in Harlingen including the new Bass Pro Shop. Wi-Fi thru Tengo. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Our site was large and level with good quality power, water and sewer connections. The pool, hot tub and restrooms were very clean and comfortable. The sites and the park facilities were neat and well-kept. There's a big new dog park and other apparently recent upgrades. We felt right at home here. The new manager, was really welcoming, and introduced us to some of the other residents, who we became fast friends with. We joined in the regularly scheduled events, including dancing, bingo and potluck dinners. This is the way to snowbird - with a group of really nice people who know how to help newcomers fit right in. We will return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This was a great campground to come to: until this year. We have been coming for 7 years, but we won't be back. The new management seems friendly until an issue comes up: then you can't find him, and he didn't seem to know know what he was doing. The office girls handled most everything: they were friendly and tried to be helpful. This is a mobile home park, and new manager doesn't seem to like Rv'ers, or know much about them. We won't be back until they get new management. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is under new management and not a very good manager. We stayed in this park several times over the years and the old managers were very good and made everyone feel "at home". The new manager does not do anything and makes RV's feel like they are not wanted. The park is now run by the Activities Club and if you do not own a home in the park you are not wanted. We will not be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Well maintained RV Park for just a few days or all winter. Lots of organized activities for those who wish to participate. Only drawback is size of sites, somewhat packed in. We camped here in a camper.

This is our 2nd stay here. Very clean, nice park. Small park which we like and it has a security gate at the entrance. There are many permanent seasonal RV park models but all are well maintained. There is a clubhouse and they do have many activities. Rate is based on a weekly rate. Nice, friendly and quiet park. We will be staying here every time we come to the RGV. Great prices! Great place! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We have stayed at this park several times in the past 10 years, using our Thousand Trail Membership. Park is primarily used by Winter Texans and permanent residents. Sites are spacious with a mixture of grass and dirt to park on and a concrete patio slab. Interior roads are in good conditions, but I should note that when it rains the parking sites get very muddy. On several occasions when it rained, we noticed that RVs had to be pulled out of the mud. Laundry is super small considering the size of the park. There are lots of organized activities for senior citizens, but please consider this park unfriendly to children for obvious reasons. We have enjoyed all our stays, primarily because of the price and location, but will probably consider another Encore Park in the future. Rate reflects a Thousand Trails discount. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Good place to hang out for a while. Mostly Winter Texans here for several months, but about 40 sites are designated for Thousand Trails members. This was our third time here. Tuesday night's hamburgers are very good! We camped here in a Motorhome.

The rate reflects the monthly rate of $479. Wi-Fi is extra using TengoNet which we didn't subscribe to. The Park is very quiet despite being located close to the Valley International Airport. The sites are wide and there are lots of activities including Pickle Ball which is not mentioned on their website. We found the people to be very friendly. The park is conveniently located to all shopping and many attractions. The washrooms are used by those using the pool as well as the outdoor activities and are in serious need of updating. I used the toilets only while playing pickle ball and the pool and would not want to use them to shower. The Entertainment Director brought in a number of entertainers which were good and one that was very good and all tickets are very reasonably priced. The only negative with staying here is the winds which blow pretty much every day; some days the winds are light but we found them to be quite strong most days. We compared the winds here with Mission TX where we stayed for December and when the winds were really blowing Harlingen was at least 5 mph stronger. We loved this RV park and would most likely stay here despite the winds! We camped here in a Motorhome.
