Getting Ready for SPRING BREAK

There's nothing like Spring! All of us on the campground can hardly wait for that beautiful weather, much warmer days and spring flowers to pop out all over the park. And don' forget to follow our Spring happenings on FaceBook too.

You'll be happy to know that the Camp Store is almost finished, and so is the path down to Grapevine Station from the store. Soon, the outdoor stage will be 'center court' for many of our fun, weekend activities and special events.

Local artist Janie Cavendar and Fred Foxx are putting the finishing touches on the stage backdrop. Janie has creatively drawn the campground's logo on the wooden stage, and both she and Fred are painting away this morning...and it's looking REALLY good.

Stay tuned - we are planning a great Spring Break Week on the campground and hope you are booked here to enjoy the week long fun!

SPRING BREAK Looks Good for a Staycation

The campground staff is already planning Spring Break Week around the Grand Opening of our new Camp Store. "Spring Break will kickoff with a great Open House on Saturday March 12, here on the deck of the store. And, there will be great events and activities every day during the week for our campers," says Fred Foxx.

"This is the best place for a Staycation, since the price of gas has shot way up the last few weeks---and luckily I'm one of the few that doesn't have to drive," notes Fred. Meeting today on the beautifully-finished front deck of the Camp Store, Junior Hall and Fred talk about plans and upcoming events for Grand Opening Week.

Hall is part of the Camp Store team that has been extremely busy stocking the store with everything our guests might need. "We know we'll be really busy that opening week...so our staff wants to have all of the supplies on the shelves," shares Hall. "The store has snacks and drinks, RV supplies that folks need for their rigs, and a computer station for our guests. And we are getting lots of compliments for having that, too."

Here's just a peek at what all is planned so far for the campground's Spring Break FUNfest Week. Stop by the store for more information; it will be open from 8am - 7pm every day.

Pizza Party Pizazz

The campground Pizza Party was a great success outdoors at Grapevine Station last weekend and we had surprisingly beautiful weather for it in February. We had a great group paticipate, and everyone gobbled up their favorite kind of pizza - even those with peppers, pepperoni, portabellas, and just plain sauce.

One family said they heard we were having pizza, so that made them decide to coming camping here. Special thanks as well to our team event coordinators- Adrienne and Ira -for doing such a great job!

Presidents Day - Finishing Touches on Camp Store

Fred Foxx was out early this morning celebrating Presidents Day on the campground with his American flag. Many campers who were outside walking around also noticed that the new sign is now atop the store and looking really good.

Today, the Camp Store is closed for the holiday, and will be for a couple of more days while Fred and the work crew finish sealing the front deck surrounding the store. The steps, deck and entry ramps to the store are now completed, and the store is beginning to take center stage at the park.

After all of the woodwork is properly stained, it will take an extra day or two for it to dry, and then we will reopen the store. We do appreciate your patience as we finish up this final construction!

Creative Campers LOVE Ceramics

The front porch at the new Camp Store turned out to be the perfect place for this fun Saturday class on painting ceramics.

Campers of all ages had a choice of many diffferent kinds of pieces to paint, including vases, animals, fish and more. Children and adults alike were not shy about grabbing a paintbrush and creating their own individual masterpieces for Valentine gifts.

Be sure to follow us on Facebook to learn what events are coming up next!

Sunshine, Valentine Roses and Crafts

It's a beautiful, sunny day on the campground and, ladies — it's time to come visit the Camp Store and pick up your complimentary Valentine's Day Rose. The Front Office is passing out rose coupons to each guest, so come by the store during the day and receive your beautiful red rose.

Also, we have great fun planned for this afternoon! All ages are invited to join in and make a gift for someone you love, or yourself! Today's Special Event is painting and decorating all different kinds of ceramics, making fun Valentines, and getting creative with many other kinds of crafts. Meet us on the porch of the Camp Store from 1-3 p.m. It will be great fun...

SUPER Snow Blankets Campground for Super Bowl

Snowy, snowy wonderland...did leave campers 'wondering' for sure... Snow on Super Bowl weekend was not expected at all, but campers are adventureous at heart and made it through the very cold weekend.
Special thanks to workampers Nancy and Junior Hall for getting out in the snow and taking these great pictures.

The Camp Store and the Front Gate were open to those that needed extra help or a cup of hot coffee. And by Sunday, the sunshine returned, and many football fans appeared on the campground in team colors to hollar and yell for their favorite teams. We don't know which was greater - the can-do spirit of campers, or the football fever of fans...both helped us get through this rare snowy weekend in Texas!
