Parking RV while on a cruise

My wife booked us on a cruise out of Galveston TX and I'm in need of info for parking my RV while cruising for a week. I'm thinking of putting it in a campground for the week, but was wondering if anyone had any other ideas.

We once took a cruise out of Miami and fellow cruisers who had put their RV into a "secure" storage lot came back to find it had been broken into with lots of missing stuff. I'd prefer an RV park to a storage lot.

We have left our truck, trailer, car, motorcycles when we had them at campgrounds before and flown back to our home state or driven back to our home state to visit family or go to a funeral. Just tell the owner/manager of the park, give them your phone number and go. Even had one place we asked the owner if he would check our propane tanks and fill them if they needed to be. No problem.

Howdy!

 

If your going out of Galveston you might consider parking it at the Escapees in Livingston. I believe they will let you store it for free up to 90 days.

We stored vehicles and trailers at a KOA in Buena Vista, CO this past year when we trailered out there for a motorcycle trip. I don't know if it's a set rate between all KOA's, but at that one they charged us $1.50/day per vehicle. That worked out great for us and we couldn't beat the price.

 

When I just did a search online, it looks like the KOA in Lake Conroe in Montgomery, TX offers storage. You'd have to call them to see avaialability and rates. - https://koa.com/campgrounds/lake-conroe/site-type/unique-lodging/

Many campgrounds have a storage area for short time storage within the campground for a small fee. I once left my 5th wheel at a KOA outside of Omaha NE for a week when I had to fly home for an emergency. It was secured within the campground and fenced off separately from the campgound. I think I paid $50 for a week.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm leaning on putting it in a campground, thinking it would be the most secure. I don't want to come back and deal with the ins. co. if it was broken into.

Does anyone know if the Escapees park at Bushnell does the same?

 

Thanks,
