Camping with the Best

The Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC) held its National Meeting and Outdoor Hospitality Expo in November 2009 in Nashville, Tennessee, honoring The Vineyards Campground & Cabins as one of the nations’ top Guest A-Rated facilities for the second year in row. Bob MacKinnon, president of Guest Reviews, presents the award to Joe Moore.

Selected from more than 1840 of the registered campgrounds, The Vineyards Campground & Cabins placed in the top 4-percent for meeting and exceeding national Guest A-Rated criteria. “We are very proud to receive this honor and to be one of only 31 campgrounds and RV resorts across America that received this recognition,” announced Joe Moore, assistant director of Parks & Recreation in Grapevine, Texas.

Thanks to everyone that filled out a survey—we have the best campers too!This was the second annual online consumer satisfaction survey of independent parks which evaluated guest experiences with all of the independent campgrounds and RV resorts affiliated with the National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC).

“These confidential surveys pinpoint 34 standard measurements of satisfaction from guests that stay with us here at The Vineyards througout the year,” says Moore, “so we take their opinions very seriously. Our guests have great ideas too! We’ve been able to take their advice, and often make our campground a better place for all families to enjoy. "

Take A Soldier Fishing - November 14 2009

We had a great weekend at The Vineyards Campground honoring Texas military families!

We welcomed soldiers from Fort Hood, Texas, and their families for a relaxing day of fishing, boating, and picnicing on the campground. The Vineyards Campground hosted the Saturday event sponsored by the Grpaevine chapter of 'Take a Soldier Fishing.'

Local volunteer boaters arrived at daybreak to launch from the campground boat ramp and shoreline. After a warm welcome to the soldiers and their families at the campground Pavilion, fishermen jumped on boats for a great day on the lake! Grapevine Lake is well-known for wide-mouth Bass, crappie, and catfish.

Returning at noon to show off their catches, the group also was joined by Veterans from WWII visiting from local Woodridge Nursing Home. There were very touching moments as servicemen expressed appreciation to each other for their service to America. Lunch was furnished AMBUCS, Weinbergs Deli, and Sonic. Following lunch, the group was treated to a tour of the lake and more fishing.
