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!

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!

Snowy Weather Cancels Weekend Events!

Events planned for this weekend, unfortunately have now been canceled on the campground for Saturday and Sunday.

In regard for the safety and comfort of our guests, the inclement weather and icy roads are not what we would have ordered for a big football weekend in the Grapevine/Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex!

Those guests with daughters will want to know that the "Party with a POPstar" gala in Grapevine has had to be postponed because of snowy weather until next month, Saturday, March 5, 4-9 p.m.

Also, the Sunday afternoon football Super Grill'n and Chill'n Party at the campground Pavilion has been canceled, and we will rescheduled to later in the season.

Guests now on the campground will receive one complimentary night's stay in lieu of this event cancelation. We regret the inconveniences this major storm has caused at the park, and hope you will come again when the Texas weather is beautiful once again in the spring.

If you have any questions about these events, please contact our campground events coordinator Adrienne Stamp.

Groundhog Says Early Spring for Campers!

To the delight of most of us that camp—USA Today reported this morning the infamous Groundhog Punxsutawney Phil indicated that we will have an early Spring!

Only 16 times since 1887, has Phil failed to see his shadow and predict the early arrival of springtime. We are glad to hear this news because
construction and improvements to the park are finished and we are ready for you to visit us here in Grapevine and enjoy the campground.

The Vineyards Campground got an inch or two of light snow today, and the weather will stay cloudy and cold for just a few days. Weather today kept our local groundhogs from seeing the sun shine here as well.

Roads throughout the campground were heavily sanded today, so incoming RVs and motorhomes easily reached their sites for the Super Bowl XLV weekend and game day BBQ on Sunday night. If you need extra supplies, the Camp Store officially opens tomorrow and is full of goodies as well.

Yes, we too welcome an early Spring here at the campground and we are looking forward to seeing you and your family soon!
