First Time Ever! A Motel Review

La Quinta Inn -- Irving, Texas (DFW Airport) I have never done hotel or motel reviews here although I've stayed in several over the years with my pets due to various circumstances when we weren't in the motor home. I felt compelled to write this one for several reasons. The dog-friendliness was outstanding, the room...

Burkburnett/Wichita Falls KOA Journey, Burkburnett, TX

This KOA journey was convenient and on the way to Lawton, Oklahoma from Wichita Falls, Texas. The road and sites were gravel but there were grassy patches with picnic tables at every site, making it less dreary than some travelers RV Parks. There appeared to be a handful of full timers around the perimeters but...

Lubbock KOA, Lubbock, TX

I was just traveling through and needed a convenient place with a pull-thru for the night. It appeared that I was the only over-nighter with the majority of spaces taken with long-term workers. However, it seemed clean and quiet and there weren't any piles of stuff laying outside or a junky look at all. Most...

Sea Rim State Park, Sabine Pass, Texas

I love the gulf and when friends said they were coming here for two days and wanted to know if I wanted to join them, I jumped at the chance. This is a small state park, mostly pull-thru sites, with water and electricity. Don't be discouraged as you pass all the oil refineries on the...

Dellanera RV Park, Galveston Island, TX

Dellanera is a beach front RV Park just west of the busy part of Galveston where the piers and attractions are and is run by the City. I think if I had originally had a site on the west end of the park rather than the east end, I would have been happier and stayed...

Rusk KOA Holiday, Rusk, Texas

This is a KOA Holiday in a really nice area with all pull-thru sites with full hook ups. It was quite chilly while I was here with temperatures dipping down into the low 30s but I can imagine this is a popular spot during the summer. It's quite expensive at about $49 a night. I...

Texarkana KOA, Texarkana, Texas

I wasn't quite sure when I checked in that I would like it because my site was right by the front entrance alongside a highway frontage road. Plus, when I checked in, I was the only RV for 3 rows until you get to the longer term people. But it turned out ok and I...

Caprock Canyon State Park, Quitaque,TX

When you are about 10 miles away, you will see nothing but flat plains for miles and miles and wonder if you are in the right place.  All of a sudden, at about 5 to 6 miles out, you will start seeing the canyons and the hills.  It’s quite an eye-opening sight.  There’s a reason...

Stella Mare RV Resort, Galveston, TX

August is not the season to be on Galveston Island so I was able to take advantage of a 30% discount for the week that I stayed. Stella Mare is a new resort and they are very social media forward with a nice website and continuous promotions. They even noticed when I posted FB pictures...
