I stayed here for 1.5 years. The park is quiet and clean, staff are incredibly helpful, and the location is great. It doesn't feel like it's 10 minutes to Texas State. There are showers, bathrooms, laundry, and a pool on site, plus river access. If I come back to this area with my trailer, I'm absolutely staying here again!

First time here and first time using my RV. Great place. Very relaxing and very friendly staff and others in the park. I will be back. The scenery was beautiful. If it were warmer, I would have jumped in the river. I didn’t like the fact there were no hiking trails. Their site said there were but there was nothing really. Still a great time.

The day I arrived, the power to the office went out so Internet and pool were down. Apparently, the cable was down too but didn't know that until next day. Once the power came back on, the wi-fi worked great. Same with the cable. The pool was up and running the day after the electric came back up and I used it thereafter after. Unfortunately, the bathroom in there doesn't have a working shower so to rinse off you have to use the bathroom/showers in the next building over which is next to the laundry area. The river is located in the back down the hill. Very nice area. Prior to my stay I did have issues getting a hold of someone in the office by phone as the number kept going to Brightspeed Internet and not to Pecan Park. I tried several times with no avail. I emailed as well but did not hear back. I finally gave it one more try to call and they answered and was able to get some questions answered and book. They advised they've been having phone trouble and that sometimes their email gets sent to spam so that was why I didn't hear back. They also stated that normally booking is done online. I received a call from the Park after my stay to discuss my time at there and was very pleased with his understanding. So, even though there were a few hiccups, at the end of the day, my stay was pleasant. It's in a great location close to Luling and Lockhart too.

We absolutely LOVE this RV park. Perfect proximity to our daughter’s university and perfect location for hanging out in the San Marcos River. We’ve already spent several weekends there and have had such fun every single time! Also, all the staff are just so very kind and welcoming. Really awesome place! Would and already have, totally recommended it to friends and family.

The staff in the office was so amazing. Miss Terry took the time to walk me through my reservation booking process The RV site that she told me about was a perfect spot for my family. The day of the big game when the Longhorns played Ohio. (I know we lost), we cannot get the Internet going. The maintenance supervisor came out and still was not successful. Before we knew it the owner was there making sure that the cable was running in order for us to see the game. Coming from a manager position I know how important customer service is. With that being said, the management team along with his staff are very passionate and dedicated to being a good place to visit. We will definitely be returning.
