    We spent a nice weekend getaway here. Definitely glad we did, as this is exactly the type of place we want to find for when we decide to go for full-time #RVLife. Pros: Very nice pool, great for laps and lounging Nice hot tub (though it was too hot to try it out) Bluetooth speaker by pool Nice little gym with weights (dumbbells and machine), bike, and treadmill. There is a nice laundromat, with about ten stackable machines. Our spot (#13) was perfectly level. It looked like all of the other spots were, as well. They have a cute little store in the office (it's only open during office hours, though). They have two bath houses, wth very nice, large showers. We did not get to check them out, but they also have some hotel style cabins. The water pressure was really good. They offer free wifi. It could do with a stronger signal, but was better than most parks we camp at. The driveways are nice and wide, to accommodate larger rigs. The main entrance is super easy to access from Hwy 21 (there is a light, and a nice turn lane). There is another side entrance on Grist Mill Rd. Might be too small for pulling a trailer, but it was great for coming and going in the tow vehicle. There is a food truck by the pool (right now it is only cajun/seafood, though). There is a cafe, that should be open soon. That will be a huge bonus. It was suprisingly quiet, even though we were right off of Hwy 21. Great prices for full-timers Cons: The place was great, and we had to look for cons. It would be nice to have more walkways up to the buildings, so you don't have to walk around the landscaping. It would be nice to have a different foodtruck (we don't eat seafood, so it wasn't somethig we could try out). It would be nice if the store had longer open hours.

    This is my experience at El Camino Rv park. I highly do not recommend living here. Let me share my story so you can understand why i feel this way. We planned to stay at this Rv park for 3 months well we were building our home, it was a great experience the first month until the manager changed, they then continued to change management weekly as they could clearly not hold onto any employees due to one of their owners being so rude. In the last few weeks it has been the worst experience of my life, the managers are rude there are no employees working, the pool didn't get cleaned for over a month, and the trash sat for over 3 weeks without being picked up. This place is going down hill very fast. I left after I was verbally abused and stalked by one of the investors named Shawn, I had to go get a restraining order against him. He would drive by my Rv spot as my teenage daughters and son would be playing basketball, and drive very slowly just to stare at my children, which made us all very uncomfortable. I left two weeks early due to him almost hitting my 10 year old daughter on 5-15-2023 as she was walking our dog. As we were getting ready to pull out he came out yelling so we had to call Hayes police department to be present.   Also with all the rain it flooded in front of our door. They did not give me back my $150 deposit or pro rated rent, but at this point it doesn't matter i wanted away from this man he is a stalker, and very creepy. So if you want to be stalked or harassed this is the park for you. But i do not recommend this park if you have kids or you are a single woman. This is my experience at El Camino Rv park.

    This rv park was great at first lots of promised amenities like a fitness center, a restaurant, a walking trail, which never happened. I have been there a while and was promised a grand opening celebration so all the neighbors can get to know each other. Not once have a gotten to know the management because they change every few weeks. For a while they did not clean the pool or dump the trash bins. I have lots of flies in my rv because of that. Some of the lots get so saturated with water from the rain that you can't even walk to your front door. As of end of may many residents plan to move out because this place is going down hill. I left a few weeks ago and it was the best thing I did. When I did leave the front desk yelled at my on the phone saying I owe money and that my card got declined. I never authorized her to run my card or no I was aware I owed money. If you do plan to live there remember one thing billing is due every 28 days so in the end u pay 13 times a year to live there

    Pool area

    This place is amazing, the best rv park we've stayed at! The pool and hot tub is awesome; it has lights inside the pool which is a nice touch. The turf laid around the pool is perfect for the kids! The pool is also surrounded by a fence. They also have a nice seating area with little fire places you can uses with friends and family! Plus on the weekend (fri-sun) they have a food truck. The office is cute and they office snacks and drink, I like to stop by in the morning because it better then dealing with the gas station. The grocery store (heb) is only 10 minutes away and the drive isn't bad. **My husband was so happy this was the first place that was level! We just set up and didn't have to do much.** It is pet friendly which is nice! You have multiple area with poop baggies and they are alway full, you also have a doggie bath you can use. The bath houses and restrooms are nice! The laundry room is also nice, you have a choice to use pet free washer and dryers or if you have pets they have separate washer and dryers (Nice touch!) Also the fitness area is nice, you have ac in there and the equipment is well thought out and everything you need, no complaints! I can honestly say any negative review that we saw, I am 100% happy that we moved here and took that chance. They still are adding and building on to the park but that not something that should turn you away, it's worth it!

    Please skip this place. We were looking for a relaxing place" by the river"…read moreWhat we got?: A. Literal packet of rules and regulations. I was so discouraged to enjoy anything after reading it. I'm posting the pics below.. They do not have this on the website. Pecan Park does not want you to have guests. You will be charged if you have ANY visitors. $5 for the day $7 if they spend the night. You have to check them in with the office personally! No exceptions Because of this we had no visitors. What is it THIER business who comes to see us? AT $80 A NIGHT YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO HAVE ADDITIONAL FEES? Major invasion of privacy. The river" front" Is only "visible" from about three sites. Yes, we had one of these. You had to walk across the street from your site to even see the river. Using the river is problematic cuz there's only about 30 yd have access that is at closest, 200 yards away. Everybody else is much farther. This feels up very quickly! They Park golf carts to ensure you do not go past the very small section. The water in the San Marcos River is very cold. Not here! There are so many bodies in the water that if you find a spot. You will just be sitting in everyone's pee. It's dirty with beer cans and litter. They have no steps or concrete to take you to the river. I saw many people slide and fall attempting to get in and out. If this was a personal residence I would call this river access. But for an RV park that has over 100 sites this is a bottleneck you should avoid. There are gates everywhere. They tow anyone who was not checked in. Without warning. The sites are not easy to back into if you have anything over 30 ft. There's a gate code you have to get out of your vehicle and walk to the keypad then hurry back to your truck to drive in. The roads and landscaping are not pretty. And for $80 a night that's pretty sad. My husband almost had a tree branch fall on him while he was connecting the rig The sites are gravel and very uneven. There is concrete pad for the picnic table but most are in disrepair. No vallet trash.

    The staff here was very nice and helped me with adjusting our stay without any extra payment which…read morewas awesome. However, it is a bit pricey for what it has to offer. We have stayed at other parks for the same price that were much nicer. It also is a little more run down that the pictures advertise. It is some fun, good country livin in a since if you just want a get away with the family close the the river and it's full of lots of friendly campers. I'm not sure if we will be going back due to prices. The wifi was also down and the rules are very strict about guests as well as fees for guests which I found odd. We never have experienced having to pay for guests to come hang for an hour or two and we have been to numerous parks around Texas. Probably has the most rules out of all the places we have stayed too. Overall we had a good time. And again, it is right by some river access.
