Details

We stayed for two-weeks in the Rainbow Oaks Section of the Escapees Rainbows End RV Park in late October, 2019. As members of the Escapees RV Club we have our mail forwarding service and Texas domicile through the club. We enjoyed hanging out with our fellow Escapees for a time.

Cost

For two-weeks at a 50 amp full hookup gravel back-in site in the Rainbow Oaks Section, we paid about $23 per night including $2/day 50 amp service charge, Escapees member rate, and tax. There were no additional fees for pets or an extra vehicle.

The campground is open to non-members, but members receive a discounted rate. Daily and weekly RV sites are base 30 amp service or 50 amp with $2/day service charge. Rates vary by park section and premium site options. Weekly and monthly rates are available.
