Linn is a named spot in the RGV north of Edinburg, out in the country about 20 miles. It doesn't have expressways, arterials, and masses of people and cars, yet I'm close to stores and the birding places. The place I had in Los Fresnos was one of the worst RV "resorts" I've had. Noisy neighbors, ugly view, heavy traffic, and overpriced. This will be a welcome quiet place for at least a week.
Los Fresnos is at the south end of the Rio Grande Valley, on TX100 on the way to Port Isabel. It's hot, humid, mosquitoes are everywhere, as are fire ants. Typical RGV, but a "cold" front is coming through tonight which should help.

Got my first (2019) armadillo road kill today, and three live gators. Otherwise quite quiet. The...
My usual camping spot is Goose Island State Park, but the campground was damaged by Hurricane Harvey and is still under repair. So I'm trying out a new experience, paying Rockport rates to park in an RV place in Fulton. It's not pretty, it's expensive, but a great location. I'll be here 2 weeks.
