Rainbows End
One of the national RV clubs we belong to, The Escapees, is based in Livingston, TX in conjunction with a RV park called Rainbows End. I guess It was from this park that the whole Escapees club/concept/movement started. Many people retire there. People speak of it as though it was some sort of Mecca. Not in a fervent sense but a point of interest. It was only a 45 mile side trip and we have done far longer diversions so why not?
Nice park. Somewhat older than I expected but very well maintained. Three (actually four) sections as though it was added to in phases. We stayed in the oldest section which was very nice. Large, open, sites with lots of tall trees to give shade with filtered sun light. Feels like camping in a national park or forest. The newer sections have smaller but adequate sites and no trees. Very much a parking lot feel. Much like retirement and snowbird communities in the Southwest, there are a large number and variety of things taking place throughout the week. Crafts, exercise, computer to to, cooking, etc. No golf courses nearby though.
Nice to visit. They need to upgrade a couple of things to make it a place I would want to return to. (Present WIFI is VERY limited and costs $$. Need trees through out park.)
Now to figure out how to productively use a couple of days before somehow sneaking around Houston to find a home base for 4-5 days.
