Passport America Members October_November 2010 Newsletter

Dear Member,

All of us here at Passport America greatly appreciate your support and hope you have had a great time traveling and camping this fall! We have added many new parks since the last email. So make sure to check the list of new parks before planning your Fall/Winter travels. We are sending you this email today with website links to online updates, new online store, our new App for Android™, Limited Offer – Lifetime Membership, and more!

Directory Updates

Now you have a couple ways to acquire updates regarding Passport America Participating Parks. For a printer friendly “print and go” version, just go to the campground section of our website and click on “directory updates”. Here is a quick link. Then, at the top of the page you will find the link for the printable directory update for our latest printed camping guide. Want just an “at a glance” list of new, cancelled, or just general park changes? You can find that on the website in the campgrounds section also. We do not recommend printing these lists, but they are still good for a quick list of new or cancelled PA Discount locations.

All new Passport America App for Android™

We are very happy to announce the FREE Passport America app for Android™. The app is another great way for easily locating Passport America Participating Parks with your cell phone. It works similarly to our website, but has the additional capability of finding your current location and showing you parks in your vicinity.

The owners of Beach City RV Resort, Dick and Ann Street, were in property management and development for many years. They purchased the 7 acres on Trinity Bay, in Beach City, Texas in 1999. Then, later on as they developed the property, they began to explore the idea of a RV resort. After conferring with different groups and Passport America, they decided to go with the RV resort with design (keeping in mind the east of access and large lots) and construction to begin in July of 2002. With Houston, Kemah (with NASA center), Galveston and Houston Race Way Park just minutes away, the owners felt that RV'ers would have many areas to enjoy, including two nature reserves (links to all these areas and more on their website ).

The first customers arrived in November 2002, and the first RVer to pull on site is still at the park today. Dick and Ann love to meet people, and they do their very best to see that visitors enjoy their stay. They have repeatedly received compliments from visitors regarding how quiet their park is, and with no road noise or sirens. The owners strive to keep the grounds, including pier and boat launch clean and well kept. They truly want their visitors to enjoy their experience and come back to visit. More than likely, this is why they have many repeat customers. Some return as many as two or three times a year. In fact, the owners love the park so much, that they live there, too!
