Canyon Lake RV Resort

Review and rating of Canyon Lake RV Resort in Mission Texas

Situated on a bluff overlooking the 10 acre Canyon Lake, which was a caliche pit excavated in the early 1980s, Canyon Lake RV Resort is located on the northern edge of Mission and is home to full hook-up RV sites and park model cottages.  The Resort is very popular with winter Texans thanks to reasonable long term rates, friendly staff and guests, lots of Resort activities and amenities, and the typically warm weather in the Valley  – however it was windy, drizzly, and in the 40s during our visit in January 2015 – normally it’s in the 70s. 

Canyon Lake RV Resort is a 55+ Resort with RV sites available for short or long term rent and several one bedroom park models that are available for short or long term rent or for sale.  The Resort is home to several amenities and lots of activities and events.

The staff, work campers, and long term guests are all very friendly and outgoing.  The Resort is very clean and well maintained but has a dated look and feel to it – which may be primarily due to the unpaved sites that are closely packed together.  And the lake was almost bone dry which didn’t help with the esthetics – when the lake is full it would be a very beautiful setting – see one of the pictures below which was taken when the lake was full.

Something else that makes Canyon Lake RV Resort special is that each year guests, residents, and others raise money and then build homes for the poor and improvised in nearby Mexico.  Over 300 homes have been built since the program started in 1992!
