Enjoy our Ranch Side RV park with four 40' x 50' campsites, and take in an astonishing view of our beautiful Texas sunrise. If you are inclined to a peaceful country setting, away from the noise and congestion of a large RV park and the bustle of the city, this is the place for you! When you are ready for the city or the beaches of South Padre Island or perhaps you want to witness Space X launching a Starship, we are less than three miles from Interstate 2 (US Route 83) which will take you there. You will also find at this same interstate junction, the Rio Grand Valley Livestock Show grounds, which host rodeos (since the 1930's), concerts and Fairs. We offer monthly rates of $450, and weekly rates of $150. Let us let you in on a little secret, we are located at a latitude approximate to North Miami, where you will find very pleasant winter temperatures and no one down here owns a snow shovel! Make us your winter get away, nestled between gently grazing cows on one side and goats on the other, come for a few weeks or lock-in a lot as a regular winter Texan. When you come here to Mercedes, Texas, located in the heart of the Rio Grand Valley, you will experience not only the warmth of many sunny days, but you will find, perhaps to your surprise, the warmth and friendliness of the Mexican-American people and culture all amidst, a rural setting, modern health facilities, shopping centers, concert events and various entertainment. We warmly await your arrival!

Weekend Trip to Rancho Los Tres Corrales

Beautiful property. Welcoming hosts. Nice amenities with bar/covered eating area. We did experience the sprinkler system one night on our tent (they did warn us) and also heard the very loud and creaky windmill several hours each night and the rooster each morning around 5AM. Still a nice place to say.

This spot is beautiful! We loved hanging out with Brian on his beautiful huge pavilion looking out at nature. The birds are amazing. Unfortunately, they just had a huge rainfall of 14 inches, and the mosquitoes ate us alive. If it wasn't for the mosquitoes, this would have been one of our top places! Brian actually warned us, but we still went, and it was still a great trip!

Weekend Trip to Rancho Los Tres Corrales

This place was perfect for our family of 10! They are very laid back and family friendly. There’s an indoor pool where our kids played for probably 6 hours one day. It’s nice to be out of the burning sun. There’s some little farm animals which the kids got to help feed. Goats, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs. There’s a laundry room where we were able to get caught up on laundry included with the stay. Our kids also had tons of fun fishing in the small pond on the property that is well stocked with fish. Over all a great experience and would highly recommend to anyone!

I highly recommend this place as a particularly good place for spaceX oriented people. Mike has extensive knowledge of the goings on at the Boca Chica launch site and of the many viewing options available. He gave me great info about one that fit my needs this time and intrigued me about the possibilities for future launches. I hope to return!

1 night at Rancho Los Tres Corrales

I car camped here so I could hike at Resaca de la Palma State Park and Estero Llano Grande State Park. It was perfect for my needs. I had a tent space with a fire pit and utility table, water and electric were accessible nearby. The host loaned me a camp chair. Included in the price were communal showers, bathroom, laundry, pool, and kitchen/bar area. There is a fish pond, huge off-leash dog area, and farm animals. Rancho Los Tres Corrales is a wonderful place to camp to visit the state parks and Palo Alto National Battlefield.

Great tent camping site overlooking a small resaca. The shelter provides a great place to cook and eat out of the rain (and also provides electricity for charging devices.) Another couple was camping in an RV at the other end of the property but there was enough distance between sites that we rarely saw or heard them. We would normally camp in a state or county park but all the local options were crowded and noisy. Brian's place, by contrast, was very peaceful and private. We enjoyed seeing and hearing a lot of bird species. Pretty good stargazing as well.
