Lazy Palms Ranch

I spent from Thanksgiving to Christmas here. It’s a lovely place and very well cared for. The managers are terrific. It’s convenient to the McAllen/Edinburgh Metropolitan area with all of its services, restaurants, etc. The park itself is extremely quiet and there are a lot of activities, should you wish to participate.I will definitely be coming back. Others have talked about the goat heads, and there are goat heads. Not tons, but you have to be careful to scrape your shoes off before getting back into your RV.

they were very rude to me and told me I was not welcome and the hung up the phone. I am 55 with a white Ram Promaser camper van that i use for work following Pipeline. Was in the area and saw this park. It sounded AWSOME. I thought it would be a great place to relax on my days off. The lady on the phone said I was not their type and that I would "fit in with those people at the Valley Gateway RV park down the road and not to call back!! Their website specificly call for construction crews to stay there. I am not sure why but I feel dirty for having had to listen to her.

Our first time here and we loved it! It’s well maintained, the staff is friendly as well as the residents. Some sites are permanent and some are seasonal. We stayed in a seasonal site. Site is a pull through big enough to house our class A rig and a smaller trailer. Not a lot of shade, so summer camping wouldn’t work but it’s perfect for winter getaway. Laundry is $1.50 wash and $1.25 dry. Showers appeared clean, however we didn’t use them. There’s a nice gathering place where from November til March they serve one breakfast, one lunch and 1 dinner per week for a small fee. The food here is excellent! Can’t get a better meal anywhere else. This park is located 1.5 hours from South Padre Island which is a nice place to visit. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

We stayed here a week at the end of March. Park was not very full so it was very quiet. Also very peaceful setting out of the city on a back country road.

One half of park is senior residents in park models and other half RVs.
Sites are in grass (mostly dead when we were there) with a small concrete pad to set chairs or grill on. Pool area nice but actual pool could use an updating. Lots of chipping and kinda dirty but still cool and refreshing on a hot day in TX.

Library, puzzle room, shuffle and bocce ball. Rec hall for gatherings. Didn’t use laundry or restrooms but looked well kept. Facilities are just a bit outdated but still ok. Lots of space to walk and a small pond with some ducks to enjoy some nature.

25-30 minutes from town but a country store on the corner has all the essentials you might need if you are out of something.

Wi-Fi in park was spotty. T-mobile service was pretty good with a few spots here and there. Verizon not as good and only worked in certain areas.

Decent price for a week at $150.

You MUST stay here. My wife and I stayed here from January to August. My wife is a travel nurse and this community took us in and treated us like family. Everyone is so wonderful, Jim and his lovely wife were without a doubt the most welcoming and caring camp hosts we have ever encountered. The grounds are well kept, there is no lacking of fun things to get into, and there's always a friendly face to give you a smile wherever you go. Please, if you are traveling through the area either short term or long term, do yourself a favor and check out Lazy Palm Ranch. We have zero complaints after almost 8 full months. Best campground we've stayed at in our 3 years on the road.
