RV Parks in Harlingen, TX vs. Victoria: Why Lake Dewberry RV Resort Wins
Why Snowbirds Pick Harlingen
Harlingen is another Rio Grande Valley town that attracts Winter Texans. Its location puts it closer to the coast than McAllen or Mission, which is appealing for beach lovers. The weather is warm and there's plenty of community activity. But Harlingen is still a border city, and it comes with the same challenges: the long drive south, heavy traffic, and safety considerations.
Victoria Is a Central, Safer Alternative
Lake Dewberry RV Resort in Victoria lets you enjoy South Texas winters without the tradeoffs of going all the way to Harlingen. Being right off Hwy 77, it's easy to reach, central to coastal attractions, and far enough from the border to give you greater peace of mind. You'll save travel time, enjoy a safer setting, and still have access to the Gulf Coast within a short drive.
