ToddF Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 Any recommendations on good overnight stops on this route? It is approximately 750 miles from Rainbow Plantation to Traveler's World in San Antonio. I am looking at Isle of Capri in Lake Charles (W of New Orleans) for stop #1. That is a few more miles than I'd like for the 1st day but doable. Isle says yes to overnight parking (their rv lot is booked) with 24/7 security roaming. Welcoming. Don't need any hookups for 3 nights. Thanks for any suggestions. I would like to take advantage of being able to play slots in Louisiana as I don't think there are any in Texas.

Twotoes Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Escapees has a Co-Op in Hondo TX which is just west of San Antonio you may look at as your final stop.

ToddF Posted November 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Thank you...will stop at Stephen Austin on night #2 and Hondo night #3 before backtracking into San Antonio for 4 nights at Travelers World. This is what I love about RVing...the 3 nights between Rainbow Plantation and San Antonio will be an adventure and with this plan, the first night is free, the second night is about $20, and the 3rd night $5 (boondock). Got 25% off at Travelers World (special by Sun Resorts thru the end of Dec Promo code 19STAYTX25VR)...it's a nice park right on the bike trail. Looking forward to checking out another Escapee coop park. 19 STAYTX25VR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondo is about 45 miles from San Antonio. Lone Star Corral is very nice park, but not very handy for touring SA.

Yahoo Ramblers Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Get ready to have your teeth rattled out of your head along I-10 in Louisiana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddF Posted November 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) Thanks for reminder about Louisiana, my hopes are dashed that it has been resurfaced since I traveled it last year. 6,000 miles into this trip from MN (out East, down to Florida and now in Summerdale) the interstates and secondary roads have been fantastic. (I-95 through SC was a bit rough). Edited November 13, 2019 by ToddF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddF Posted November 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Isle of Capri (Lake Charles) is a good overnight with the option of a paid hookup site with elec only. They allowed free overnight parking in the overflow lot which is what we chose. The parking lots are directly below the huge bridge on I-10. Lots of noise and worry about that bridge which has seen better days. I put a price of 1B to replace that monster. Every time a truck hits a certain spot, you hear a pronounced thud like something is loose. Scary. I am not a complainer, but the seafood buffet was $72 for 2 and not worth it. 2nd night stopped at Katy RV Park in Katy, TX. $53.10 for the night. It was worth it not to have to hassle with parking in a busy WM overnight. Katy RV Park has a very unique setup, I would recommend anyone looking at the Houston area to stop there and check it out. When I am retired, I would gladly spend a month there during the winter. Tonight at TT in Columbus, TX, no charge for TT members. San Antonio...here we come! (I-10 is still very rough through LA and East Texas. Drop your speed as you cross the LA/TX line to reduce the odds of disaster). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
