Furthermore, quiet hours are implemented every night, starting at 10:00 p.m. and lasting until 8:00 a.m. With regard to smoking, visitors are welcome to do so on the premises; however, smoking is not permitted inside any of the buildings, such as the laundry facility. Lastly, everyone must abide by the five-mile-per-hour speed limit when they are driving in the park.
West Bound RV Park is open year-round for patrons to reserve any of the RV sites. The summer and fall seasons tend to be the busiest times of operation for the establishment, which the manager attributes to the duck and deer hunting locations as well as recreation on the Frio River. Couples and single travelers primarily constitute the demographic of those who stay at West Bound RV Park, though the manager also mentions that they receive several local employees who are staying at the park long-term for their jobs.
Brighter Door, the company that presently owns West Bound RV Park, purchased the property in June 2022. Two other lodging properties in southern Texas—Quiet Texas RV Park and Red Oak RV Park—are under the ownership of Brighter Door as well. Concerning the changes that were made to West Bound during Brighter Door's ownership, most of the updates have been physical improvements to the landscaping and "clearing up communication issues with the turnover," as mentioned by the manager. There were also a few sites that were added, intending to accommodate more visitors. As for future plans, the owners are hoping to expand the property.
The manager of West Bound RV Park was first led to the park when she began working in the landscaping industry for Brighter Door. She moved into one of the on-site houses at Quiet Texas and began to manage that location, eventually branching out to West Bound RV Park. Since becoming the manager, she has come to find that her favorite part of the job is "meeting all of the people" who stay at the RV park. She also enjoys working with the owners as she describes them as "friendly, community-oriented people."
