Bentsen Palm Village

We're going to spend several weeks at Bentsen Palm Village RV Resort. We've come to Texas's Rio Grande Valley to do some square dancing; and this park is in Mission, Texas, the town where a lot of the dances are held. Apparently most of the winter Texans fleeing the cold up north don't start arriving until January. So we had no trouble getting a place to stay for this coming weekend through December. That works out well for us, since we want to about the first of January to head of Quartzsite, Arizona, where we'll meet some friends for the RV show that takes place there every winter. Fortunately, the square dance callers start arriving the first of November, so we'll have plenty of dancing available between now and the end of the year.



Our campsite will look something like the one in this picture from the park's web site.











They've planted hundreds of trees (palm, mesquite, retama, fiddlewood, poinsiana, anacua and others) and lots of native plants and groundcover. They've made a point of including plants that attract butterflies, and there are butterflies all over the place.
