There are many good places to stay in Texas in the RGV. We stay in Mission at Bentsen Grove,(our sixth winter there), one of the hundreds of RV parks in the valley. The most crime we've ever had in the park is teens stealing bicycles. We don't go out of the park much at night, but feel it's safe during the day. We don't cross the border as much as we used to do, but there's plenty to do on the Texas side. We love the climate
, the birding, and the friendliness of the people, both inside and outside of the park.
