Iron Horse Grill New Braunfels, TX

Wow, the IronHorse Grill in New Braunfels, TX was voted the best burger in 2009 and rightly so. This was the best burger I have ever had, and we know our burgers. I definitely recommend a visit while passing through or staying in the New Braunfels area. It is right off of I35 on business 35, behind the IHop.

River RanchRV Resort

River Ranch RV Resort in New Braunfels, TX has its plus side. If you have a site on the Guadalupe River, it is a very pleasant setting. There is an abundance of wildlife along the river and the scene is serene. The sites are somewhat small but our 37' rig fit fine with room for our tow car along side the rig. We were on the "curve" so our site was a little bit wider than the sites in the middle. It is small, offers full hook-ups with cable and wifi included. They have laundry and showers. There is ample shopping as it is right on I35, and I mean right on it, or should I say below. Business 35 and I35 are on either side of the site, raised on bridges. The traffice noise is great but when in the rig, somewhat muffled. The best thing is this price. If you pay for a week, it averages to around $27.00 per night. There is a Camping World and Evergreen RV close buy if you need some work done on your rig. That is what brought us to this site, waiting for parts to be delivered. I would return if passing through.

Admiralty RV Resort


Admiralty RV Resort in San Antonio, TX was pleasant. They are a full service park with many long-term residents. They have all kinds of activities through-out the month, breakfasts served on Saturdays. The park is paved with the sites being very level. They have full hook-ups. The sites are narrow and only long enough for a large rig and a small car. The park is located right across from Sea World and a short drive to the River Walk in downtown. Visit San Antonio to see the River Walk, the Alamo, and the missions. They are fantastic. I would return to this site.

Punkin Park Camping

Punkin Park in Hammond, LA was a muddy mess. I realize they had more rain than usual but it doesn't drain very well. The sites are small for big rigs. They had a few pull-throughs which made it a little easier but it was so muddy, it still was not pleasant. Nothing in the park is paved. They had full hook-ups. We were also under electric high wires and next to many construction trucks that were parked in the middle of the park. We stayed because it was close to relatives we were visiting but I would not return. The only good thing was with my husbands 60+ discount, it was only $26 per night.

Salon Baliage and Spa

If you are in the Panama City Beach area looking for a place to have your hair or nails done, the Salon Baliage and Spa is wonderful!The owner will cut and color your hair with expertise and an eye for style. She also cut my husband's hair. The atmosphere is spa-like and relaxing. They also offer massages, hot stone pedicures and everything in between. It was so nice to feel confidant when going to a new hair stylist while "on the road".
