Rio RV Park and Brownsville, Texas, have many
things to do during your short or long stay while RVing, tenting, or
in a rental unit. Just minutes to South Padre Island or across the border
to our sister city Matamoros and Progreso, Mexico for great shopping
and dining. We offer a new large mall and many restaurants to go along
with things to do. Our culture is expressed via a large local group of
artists, historical churches, music, and live theater. Brownsville is
a nature lover’s paradise with a world-class zoo, nature centers, birding,
butterfly watching, and tropical fauna and flora.

Also, Brownsville’s heritage is celebrated with festivities
at Charro Days, Sombero, three area restaurant festivals, Jazz, Birding,
Confederate Air Force Border Air Military, Live Stock and Rodeos, Shrimp,
and Local Talent (Contest) Music. Enjoy fishing from party boats in the
bays and Gulf of Mexico to pier and surf fishing in the salt water from
you RV or tent. Fresh water fishermen have the inland canals, Rio Grande
River, and area resacas. The athletically inclined can golf (7 area courses);
play tennis (new tennis center May 2000), bowl (opened Nov. 2001), or
go biking and hiking. All of this plus the many park activities (another
topic of this web site) assure you of being as on the go as you want
to be.
