Rainbow's End, Livingston

Here in Texas the weather has changed and it feels much like early winter up north.  We had heavy rains and wind Saturday night into Sunday with temps barely reaching 40.  Today was drier, but cloudy with the high temp at 40.  Temperatures below 30 are expected tonight. 

We are at Rainbows End which is the headquarters for the Escapee RV Club. 



The park has three distinct campgrounds with full hook ups and three small areas for dry camping (no hook ups).  There are 130 full hook up sites.  There are also several long term sites as well as deeded lots.  There is everything from year round houses to normal camp sites within the park boundary.  Many of the residents have sold their RVs and live in houses within the property.

Some deeded sites are like this one with a drive in enclosure for their rig.  The owners live in the RV while getting protection and storage under the roof.




Long term sites (rentals) are similar to this with each site having a storage shed:



The park includes two shower/bathroom/laundry facilities, 2 club houses with book and video libraries, game rooms and TV lounge.  We are paying $15.50 plus electric per night with full hook ups in one of their newer campgrounds.   Weekly rates and long term rates are available. 

As the headquarters for the Escapee club,  sited here is their mail forwarding service which we use.  They handle thousands of pieces of mail and packages from UPS, FedEx and the USPS per week for members and offer to forward mail any where.   The club also offers training programs for new and experienced RVers.  

The park also has a CARE Center which is an adult day care facility providing meals, recreation and medical care for members who have medical issues which require their assistance.  Clients are able to live in their own RVs and are provided assistance as needed. 

We expect to be here only a couple days total before heading to San Antonio.
