The camp is right on the banks of the Nueces River. There are 36 spots near the camp office, which is also near the petting zoo. The zoo has pigs, prairie dogs, zedonks, goats, horses, donkeys and zebras. You don't actually pet them, but you are invited to be around at feeding time, and to take pictures.
Almost all of the 36 sites are back-ins and are next to the river. Two of them are pull-through semi-circles, next to the road. After the 36 spaces, there is about 1/2 a mile of land where probably twice as many more spaces can go in, if they are needed. Then on the right, there are premium spaces, and other than the fact that they are near the activity building, I don't know what makes them premium. They are set in a group together, in the trees, not a line like the first sites. On the left are about 8 pull-through sites, not in the trees, and not next to the river, but next to a huge pond. We heard bullfrogs, cranes and crickets, and we saw whooping cranes flying away in the morning.
The laundry is very nice, as is the activity center. It is huge, with a kitchen, library, satellite TV, puzzle tables, and restrooms. They have a number of activities for which there are sign-up sheets on the table: Valentine candy making, dart tournaments; Super Bowl gambling, etc. There is also a room with several exercise machines and the desk with the telephone/modem connection.
Probably the nicest thing about the Triple R was the absolute peace and quiet. During the day, people were on tours of things such as the Olive farm, the Border Patrol, and the winery. Those who stayed around the park played cards or contemplated nature, walked the nature trail, etc. In the evening, it was beautifully peaceful and quiet.
