Falcon Mesa Zapata

Lovely stay

What a lovely stopping place on my way to the Rio Grande Valley. The host was delightful, and my dog enjoyed making new puppy friends. Thank you!

Bigfoot 20

We enjoyed meeting Cheryl. She was very gracious and was ready for our arrival it was our first boondockers welcome and we were very pleased with our stay. Thanks for the fresh oranges off of your tree

Great quiet stop for the night

Good stop with stickaler....... a winter Texan. Was offered power, water, and oranges which was a very generous gesture. Thanks for the quiet overnight.

Great stay

Great host...great stay...very quiet. Watched a lovely sunset over the water. We were treated to freshly picked oranges when we left. We would recommend this host...especially if you’re a dog lover!

Pleasant and Happy

We enjoyed our stay and would do it again. We stayed 2 days and found the hosts to be friendly, helpful and accomodating. We were even treated to a dinner with the hosts.

Zapata

good for an overnight. Just not after a rain - got stuck in the mud !

Easy & friendly "way out west" stopover

Host came outside, despite the very warm day, to flag us down as we passed by. We were looking for yellow house; it's more white-ish & the garage is a yellowish steel building. It was easy to back into ample driveway after we unhooked our toad. Had a very friendly chat. Our blind dog was given open-arm treatment and welcomed to join host pets in the yard. We were given an armful of fresh-picked grapefruits that proved to be delicious. We also enjoyed a drive around the area, spotting our first-ever glimpse of scaled quails, and had a great dining experience at Z Wings in Zapata.

Short stay but nice place and host

Nice place and host was great. Host met us out by the road so we did not miss the place. She got us settled into our spot, which was in the yard next to her own class A. Driveway was already taken by another RV'r or that's where we probably would have been asked to park. Host was great and even gave us some fresh grapefruit off their own tree. Spent several hours canoeing on the Falcon Lake Reservoir the next morning and had a great time due to the huge amount of bird life on the lake. Host was nice enough to invite us to go with them to a school concert but unfortunately we had already decided to leave a day early due to weather. We will definitely keep this spot on our radar if we ever happen to be coming through this area again. Thanks so much Stickaler for the great spot.

Friendly and welcoming

Great first experience with boondockers. Nice, helpful and knowledgeable hosts.

Good Stop.

This was a good stop. Host was helpful. The State park and Point of Entry were relatively close by.

Peaceful stay

We had a very restful stay overlooking Falcon lake. Enjoyed visiting with our hosts who provided 15 amp electricity for us and sent us on our way with fresh oranges from their tree.

Spacious spot.

A comfortable spacious spot with Falcon Lake visible in the distance. Beautiful sunset and sunrise. I was only passing through and appreciate the hospitality. Nice folks.

A fisherman's dream!

We spent 2 nights here and really enjoyed it. Our hosts were very accommodating and nice. The kids enjoyed playing with the dogs and helping out in the garden. This was just an in between stop as we headed to the coast, but there is a great lake, Falcon Lake, that is great for fishing. Our host also gave us some info for nearby San Ygnacio, but we didn't have the opportunity to visit.

Thank you for a nice stay!

We had a lovely stay a this location. The site was great and easy to find and nice to be able to plug into 30 amp service. Friendly folk and pets. The scent of flowers on the evening breeze was heavenly. Thank you for a nice stay.

Welcoming location along Rio Grande Falcon Lake

Sheryl was enthusiastic even before our arrival suggesting points of interest along the Rio Grande on our trek from South Padre Island. Google maps wasn't accurate in her properties location, a simple phone call and she was outside, spotted us and helped us right into the space on asphalt in front of her garage.

While not directly visible from our location, a short walk provides a great view of the lake and sunset!

Seems like a great spot for a fisher or boater, we loved out visit to San Ygnacio and drive out on Falcon Dam to stand with one foot in the USA and the other in Mexico!
