Parsons Marvel Park RV campground to close permanently

City officials in Parsons, Kansas, have announced that the Marvel Park RV campground will close permanently on October 4. The decision was driven by repeated flooding and issues with campers, including non-payment of fees and rule violations. The campground is located in a floodplain north of Labette Creek; in late June, several people had to be rescued after heavy rain. The city is seeking a new location for an RV park.

Winter Texans prepare for South Texas return amid declining numbers and RV park changes

Winter Texans will start arriving in the Rio Grande Valley in less than a month, but a local organization reports their numbers have been declining. According to a 2021 study by Welcome Home RGV, they spend $1.2 billion every season, with each couple spending about $13,000. The decline is attributed to the two-year closure of Isla Blanca Park, ownership changes, and the loss of several RV parks.
