Thankful For Our Campers!

As we celebrate Thanksgiving on the campground, we are most thankful for our wonderful campers. We do have the greatest folks staying with us in the park!

Please join us—the Foxx Family and our wonderful campground staff— in being thankful for all of the blessings we have today. From our site to yours, we wish your family, relatives, and friends the very best today...

Great Night for a Turkey Hunt!

We had a perfect night to "hunt" for Turkeys on the campground! More than 50 folks—those young and young-at-heart—showed up with their flashlights in search of turkeys hiding somewhere on the Vineyards Campground.

Earlier in the day the campground event staff
, lead by Adrianne Stamp, had scattered colorful pictures of turkeys around the campground for the evening "hunt."
Running here and there, everyone with a flashlight had great fun. Pictured here
are the lucky winners with their prizes! Thanks to all our campers who participated and made this such a fun event...

Salute to Veterans

Just as the leaves are beginning to turn colors at the campground, a number of folks turned out for the annual Veteran's Day Flag Raising ceremony at the Front Gate this cool morning.

Several of the men represented all branches of the military, and had served abroad as well as stateside in their years of service to our country. Though many of the guests were not Veterans, campers thanked those who served for their time and commitment to America.

We especially remembered Lake Parks Foreman Mike Hooker and his son, Clint—who is now serving overseas as a reconnaissance helicopter pilot attached to the 101st Airborne Division in the Middle East.

After raising the flag, campers joined Grapevine Parks Board Member Bob Tipton in prayer and campers followed by saying the Pledge of Allegiance.

Campers and staff, along with mascot Fred Foxx, stayed around and visited with each other, recalling stories about their military service and recent trips across the USA camping. All enjoyed the complimentary coffee, Cinnamon Cluster pastries and Chick-n-Minis biscuits from Chick-fil-A at Grapevine Mills Mall.

Veteran's Day Flag Raising Ceremony - Thursday 11/11

"Please accept our invitation to join us at the Front Gate Thursday morning at 8:30am for our own tribute to Veteran's Day," says Fred Foxx, Project Manager for the campground's improvement project.

"We are finishing up a lot of final details on this new construction, but we want to take some time off to salute those who served our country. We especially want to thank those Veteran's who are staying with us on the campground this week or have loved ones serving now in the military."


Join us at the flag pole at the Front Gate for the Flag Raising Ceremony, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. Plan to stay around and visit with others who have served in the Armed Forces, and share stories of your service. Chick-fil-A at Grapevine Mills Mall will provide hot coffee and warm cinnamon rolls for all of us to enjoy.
