Review of Sunshine RV Resort – Harlingen
Sunshine RV Resort in Harlingen is one of several Encore & Thousand Trails RV parks spread throughout Texas and one of the 10 Rio Grande Valley RV Resorts – here is a link to find their other Texas RV Parks.
Sunshine RV Resort has over 1060 sites that are a mixture of RV sites, park models, and mobile homes. RV sites are available on a daily to long term rental basis and the park models are available for a three month period or longer. Other park models and mobile home are available for sale.
The Resort is well maintained, secure, and landscaped with tall palm trees and a variety of local fauna. The streets are lighted and paved and wide enough to easily maneuver your rig into a site.
Sunshine RV Resort is in the "Deep South" which is famous for its warm southern hospitality, a wide array of fascinating historical sites, natural wonders, and cultural attractions around the area. As such, the Resort is a Mecca for retirees and winter Texans escaping from the cold northern temperatures.
The staff is very friendly and outgoing as are the guests – it's hard to go anywhere without someone waving, saying "hi," or stopping by for a greeting. The guests, mostly winter Texans and retirees from around the United States during the winter months, are very active and participate in the events and activities and enjoy all of the Resort amenities. You have to be a hermit not to make some new friends during your stay, in fact the Resorts motto is "where friends meet new friends."

We stayed at Sunshine RV Resort in January to escape the cold north Texas weather and to play and review some of the local golf courses. We did get to meet several guests from around the northern states, play some dominos, and play a couple games of ping pong and pool. We only wish we could of spent more time in the Resort to enjoy more of the amenities and take in some of the local attractions - maybe next year.
One of the advantages of staying at Southern Comfort RV Resort is that they have enough activities and things to do to keep you busy every day from dawn to midnight.
But if you do need to escape the Resort, you'll find lots to see and do nearby from attractions to the beach to golf to museums and zoos. Here is a site that has a good list of what to do in the Rio Grande Valley. Sunshine RV Resort's website also has a page of nearby things to see and do.
If you like golf, there are lots of good options and choices - here is our list of the Best Rio Grande Valley Golf Courses and our rating and reviews of the courses we have played.
If you like the beach, you're not that far from South Padre Island and all it has to offer. Check our list of things to do in South Padre - horseback riding, fishing, ATVs, parasailing, pirate ship cruise, and more.
Here is a link to our South Padre Island Winter Vacation article that is loaded with stuff to see and do in South Padre Island.
