We spent over a month here due to the park's convenient location; 45 miles to San Antonio, 35 to Austin. Adjacent to I-35, so there is road noise but not too bad. The cement plant trucks mentioned in other posts didn't bother us. Gravel and cement sites, level with cement pad & picnic tables. Clean laundromat and restrooms, good power and water; make sure you have a pressure regulator. Free Cable TV and WiFi; WiFi is very good throughout the park. Camping World and Wal-Mart close by. Very friendly owner. Not a destination campground for children, no pool or playground, but there is miniature golf. Very reasonable monthly rate. The location is the selling point; we'd stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a well kept campground. There is road noise. There is a concrete plant next to it. You have the "chirp" of the back-up horns going off in the plant in the morning. It is not designed to entertain the kids. All in all it's a pretty decent park for the area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I have stayed at this park a couple of times in the last two years. On the plus side: the location is excellent for touring this area. The giant outlet mall complex is only a mile away and the attractions of New Braunfels about 10 minutes away. It is located near the I-35 but is easy to access and traffic noise is not too bad. On the negative side: their office is little more than that, don't be needing anything. (There is a Camping World in New Braunfels.) The area was not looking as neatly attended as in the past, sites were still level and clean, but were in need of mowing. My biggest concern was that their security gate was not working and no attempt to correct this appeared imminent. I will still recommend them, but disappointed overall this stay. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Right on the interstate, so expect a lot of road noise. New campground, with trees planted, but a long away from providing shade. Sites were level, but the ground underneath was somewhat soft and jacks sunk into ground. Roads in park paved. Gate access broken, and owner told me it had been that way for a couple of months. Owners were not quite as professional as the park appears to be. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Stayed in this park for two nights while visiting family and friends in the area. This is a new park with wide roads, cement sites with patios. There are trees at the sites,but very young and small. 90% of the sites are pull-throughs and Big Rig friendly. The park is very clean. Manager/owner friendly but did not escort us to our site. This park is in San Marcus off of the highway, however noise was not a factor. Good location because it is half way between Austin and San Antonio. It also is close to the outlet mall, if you are a shopper. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Campground is not a resort, but is very adequate for short stays. It is next to I-35 and has some road noise, but we found the noise from the concrete plant no major factor. Good paved interior roads and the sites are mixed gravel and concrete. Park cable is limited to 17 channels. There was a festival nearby the nights we stayed and the park was packed, but the staff did a good job keeping everything clean. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The campground is very clean, lots of easy long pull throughs, level sites and wide streets. We have stayed there several times because we had to be in the area on business. The campground must be fairly new because the trees are very, very small and there is no character to the campground--it is just a place to stay on your way thru the area. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Management was very rude & not helpful. Park is right on the interstate and noisy with a cement plant next door. No trees or other facilities. Construction going on in the park replacing cement pads. I will not return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed in this park for one night because of it's proximity to a major outlet mall (within about 5 miles). The first comment that I'll make is that there should be some minimal list of ammenities before an RV Park can be called an RV resort. This is a field along an interstate with RV sites in it. There are no ammenities, and it's not a resort. The sites are gravel, and are a decent size, but despite the fact that this is in a flat Texas field, the sites are not particularly even, and I found leveling a challenge. This is right along the interstate with no fence or landscaping buffer, the traffic noise is very loud which impacted our sleep. There also is a plant that makes concrete or something like it that starts work very early in the morning, and that's noisy. The park itself is relatively clean and maintained, although it does have a significant number of long term tennants, which is shocking because it is so noisy there. Mostly because it's noisy, but also because of a total lack of ammenities, this park is now on our list of places we won't return. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This park is very nice especially for families but the staff left me cold. We stayed there for a week with a number of other family members. At least one member of the staff was constantly patrolling "looking" for any infraction of their rules. We received a knock on our door at 9 p.m. one night and was told our parking sign was not hanging from the rear view mirror and we had to have it there. (It was lying on the dash.) The whole week went like that. The owner was just as bad. We saw him stop a couple in the street and chewed them out about their dog. I'm sure they will argue that they were enforcing the "rules" to protect the safety of everyone but we have never seen this before and we have been camping for years. The facilities are nice and the park is near the river but my family will not be going back. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We were a little worried because of posts about a year ago talking about a really wild tent area. No need. They no longer allow tents, and have truly made this a family park. We stayed 2 nights and it was quiet, small kids riding their bikes. Indoor heated pool. They were very strict on cars coming in and out and every car had to have a parking pass. I appreciated this, some might not like it, but they are trying to maintain the family aspect and did a great job of that. You can walk down to the river to wade/swim. Canoe/Kayak rentals are on site. We will defintely be back. Geat park with lots and lots of shade. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was our first time at Pecan Park and we stayed 2 months. We plan to return during the summer months to take advantage of tubing on the river. The swimming pool is indoor and heated. During the summer months the glass (garage type) doors surrounding the pool open up making it an outdoor type with a cover. There is also a large childrens play area, disc golf and two gazebos with porch swings for just relaxing under the many pecan trees. If you are looking for activities outside the park there are lots of shops, restaurants and points of interest very close. We found this park to be very nice and the owners/managers to be extremely friendly and helpful. This park is highly recommended! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice well kept,quite RV Park with wide roads and large sites. This park has only one pull through, the rest of the sites are back ins. Friendly staff, did not escort us to our site. They do have a security fee of $10 which is refundable at time of check out,for bathrooms, however we did not use this service. They do have an indoor pool, but we were told the pool is heated by a heat pump and due to the chilly weather (30's and 40's) the water would not be warm. The door to the pool was locked so could not tell if the pool was clean or not. We stayed here for 4 days over the Thanksgiving holiday due to having family and friends in the area. On Thanksgivng day they had a huge meal for the RV guest. At the time we were there, the park was quite full, could not tell if the residents were full timers and lived there or "Winter Texans" (seasonal). All of the sites were well kept and did not see any junk. Called ahead and made reservations and no problem with the reservation system. Would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an unusual review in that we never stayed at the park. Planning on staying in the area, we reviewed the park on this web site and called about the monthly rate. We were e-mailed an "application" form to fill out before we could be put on a "waiting list". OK so far....then I started reviewing the application. Besides names, DOBs, and driver's license numbers, the application required my social security number. That was warning enough, but later on the form it asked if our RV had a lien and the name and address of the lien holder.....all we wanted to do was stay for a month, not buy the place. In over 35 years of Rving and over two years of full timing we've never experienced this type requirement. Since we, like most everyone, pay for the entire stay with a credit card at check in, it makes us believe that either; 1) someone at the park is trying to get our personal data for fraudulent use, 2) the owners are using this as a mechanism to discriminate age/race/financial status, or 3) they're incredibly anal about controlling who visits and how they conduct themselves. In any case, this may be a fine place if you're staying less than a month, apparently you're OK then, but we'll pass. We didn't stay here. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is our second visit to the park in the last 8 months and was glad to see it was as nice as before. The new owners and staff were very helpful and continuing to make improvements. We stayed in the same site as last time, except this time it had been improved. We will definitely stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Beautiful, quiet, clean campground. Nice shade trees with very friendly staff and owners. They have a great wi-fi system and a nice indoor swimming pool. Apparently the owners had a problem this summer with an employee couple telling people they were in charge of the park and handling things in an extremely unprofessional manner, but they are gone now. There was a $10.00 cash deposit on the key for the restrooms but we got it back when we left. One thing we did really like was that the nightly rate we paid included both of us and our 3 kids. Our site wasn't as level as we would like, but the new owners are in the process of releveling all of them and making big improvements elsewhere too. We will definitely come back! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Workamper Management Joyce and Jerry are extremely friendly and helpful. I know it's out of their control but County Rd. 102 into the campground is terrible - narrow and rough, but once you reach the campground the roads are paved and in extremely good condition. Our site faced the river. It was a gravel site and almost level, with concrete patio with picnic table and large grassy area around the coach. We would definitely stay again. Nice newly fenced grassy pet run! They seem to be constantly improving the park. We camped here in a Motorhome.
A nice area and location, but new owners are very unfriendly and very unprofessional. There are a lot of rules and regulations such as washing your camper and no outside storage of items, which are not necessary and tend to be very inconvenient. A $10.00 fee is charged in addition to nightly rate for a bathroom/shower key. I would not stay here again nor would I recommend this park for the simple reason of the owners attitude and way of running their campground. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
The attitude of the employees left something to be desired - sort of rude and pretentious. This park has many pecan trees that provide great shade. What they do not tell you is that these trees tend to "self shed". A huge tree limb fell onto my trailer, put a hole in my roof, and destroyed my awning. This has apparently happened to four or five rigs here recently. Beautiful place filled with not so friendly staff, and the sky really is falling. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice clean park, plenty of shade trees. Owners are doing a nice job of updating the park. Brand new bath-house just added the first of 2007. Level back-in and pull through gravel spaces with concrete "patio" pads just as you step out of your door. Nice indoor heated pool, adjacent to the San Marcos river. We will stay there again when in the area. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This park is located on the San Marcos River, but other than the river and a heated indoor pool, there were no amenities to offer for small kids. The park is fine for a quick overnight stay, but we won't return because of the lack of additional amenities. The public bath house wasn't convenient, as you had to leave a deposit to get a key. The front-desk manager put us close to the pool, but we didn't realize the bath-house was adjacent to us as well, and there was traffic to and from this building all night. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed there for 7 days and was very pleased. The owners are very friendly and helpfull. It is a very clean and quite campground. We will be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a really nice campground! We walked the trails along the river. Very nice indoor heated swimming pool! The campground is big rig friendly! Park manager was very friendly and took the time to talk to us about different parks and such. We camp in a 40' motor coach. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place to stay. We met the couple upon check-in that owns the place. This is a good campground that is very quiet. It is near the river and close to San Marcos and lots of shopping on I-35. We camped here in a Motorhome.
LOTS of shade! WI-FI, cable, indoor pool. We camped here late July '06 with 12 yr. old son. Indoor pool was nice, clean, and indoors which was nice when it rained. Nice hosts. Man driving around found owner of loose dog and made him pick up after the dog! Quiet. Just a few mins. from I-35, Wal Mart, San Marcos River in town. Will definitely return in the future We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Loved this park. 70 something channels on cable tv, nice owners/operators, clean restrooms/showers. Very Quiet park. This park is really taken care of by the owners. Brochure lists heated pool but pool was not working/open when we where there. While you can't see the river from any campsite, you can walk to the river bank a few hundred feet away. We'll be back in summer for sure to enjoy river. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Complete park is under huge pecan trees with mostly shade. Sites are gravel with concrete patios. We used a back in although it appeared there are pull throughs. The owners were nice and directed us to the site. We wanted satellite access and they tried to accomodate. Our neighbors were nice and the owners had informed them that we would be arriving and staying next to them. We will definitely stay again. Nice park and very quiet. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We found this to be a very quiet and well maintained park. We had the opportunity to be there for 2 1/2 months, and we would definately go back! This quiet picturesque park is in a shady grove of pecan trees with lots of squirrels and one chunky raccoon! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice park.Good level sites with concrete pads.Quiet, even with pets. Only downside
was the hike to get to the river, about 200 yards. Would go again without hesitation. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Very nice park. Clean and friendly. Well placed between Austin and San Antonio. Near a giant outlet mall. Sites could be a little wider, but the park is well laid out for an older park. We camped here in a camper.
