It's Beginning to Look Like the Fourth of July!

The Foxx family was out and about the campground this weekend, checking out the festive atmosphere. Little Stomper, and his sister Blush, were counting all of the American flags... Can you guess how many are decorating the park for the Fourth of July? It's looking really good.

We have great Fourth of July weekend events planned, so we hope you will join us! Come early Friday and get settled in before our first summer evening concert begins at 7:30pm in the Pavilion. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets out and get a good spot. You will love these guys—The Zack King Band. When they are through at 9:30pm, there will be a short fireworks show west of the campground as well.

Saturday morning at 11am, we will have our first 4th of July Parade. Wear red, white and blue clothes, dress up the dog, and decorate your ride. We'll assemble everyone at Hummingbird Station before we take a spin around the campground and show off our patriotic spirit.

Then on Sunday night, the City of Grapevine has its huge Fireworks Extravagnza that you can see from every site in the campground. KLUV 98.7FM will simulcast the event with extraordinary music as well. So hurry up and get here for a great weekend ahead...

Site Development Moves Along

It's been another good week on the campground for site development. One of the project managers—Fred Foxx—continues to survey construction on the west side of the park, and stay on top of busy schedules. He also meets often with Joe Moore and the construction team to update you on the progress being made on our plans.

Quickly, old asphalt is being removed from sites that are going to be upgraded and leveled this coming week. Cooper Construction brought trucks in Friday and poured three new drive thrus with concrete, and more will be completed weekly.

While construction is being managed, most all of our guests are able to enjoy the lake. There remains easy access to the shore lines and the boat ramp as well.

And the weather is perfect this time of year for riding on jet ski's too. For easy accessibility, the campground has several docks to tie jet ski's to around the shoreline. There are nearby sloughs to explore, and waterways to the larger part of the lake through neighboring Scotts Landing Marina. So come and enjoy the campground this summer.

More S'MORES!

Friday night we enjoyed our last
S'mores until the weather cools down again in the Fall. It was hard to tell if the setting sun was melting the Hershey's chocolate faster than the campfire was.

But it didn't matter to the folks that turned up! All enjoyed one of the campgrounds' Friday night's special treats.

We even had a couple of Texas Ranger baseball fans show up for S'mores!... It was their great marshmallow-covered smiles that gave them away!

The Vineyards Campground has a variety of FREE events planned for Friday nights throughout the summer. The SummerBlast Fireworks Show will follow all events at 9:30pm, up until Labor Day in September.

Moving Dirt is What It's All About Now

It's been a good week on the campground for Cooper Construction crews... a little warm, but after all—its summertime.

Fred Foxx continues to review construction plans as RV sites are being leveled and many new lift stations are being installed this week. Major electrical work is also being upgraded to accomodate the new sites, cabins and lift stations as well.

New cabins are now on order! And soon, we will get delivery on 4 two-bedroom cabins, 2 one-bedroom cabins with lofts, and 1 duplex for larger families or groups that want to stay together.

Soon, the fishing pier will be relocated and crews are busy this week staking out a new sidewalk to that location. In the mean time, campers still found time to enjoy the lake and drop a line in the water this week.

In Guest Review surveys, one of the biggest requests from our campers was for level sites. Cooper is addressing that aggressively, and you can see that Foxx is assisting crews as they improve sites, insuring that campers will have those level sites when they stay with us at The Vineyards in the future.

More updates coming, so visit our blog often for construction news...
