I tent camped for several days here. The staff are helpful, bathrooms are super clean with soap, decent water pressure and everything is so well kept. I was thoroughly impressed and will be back to try the other sites. I stayed at turtle falls. It was so peaceful listening to the water all night.
Scout
The park was clean. However the grass around the electrical outlet and water was very tall and snaky looking at 9:30pm at night.

This is a great place to sit for a couple of days. Easy access off of I10 and far enough away to muffle the sound. The park is clean, and the hosts are friendly and helpful. They allow their chickens and goats to roam freely around the park. We watched a group of does headed down to the river to water. We purchased a dozen eggs and some ice from the store, and the camp host delivered them to us. I we travel I10 again this will be one of our stops again. Might just take a couple of extra days and explore the area.

I stayed one night and found the park to be well maintained and clean. Great for families given the proximity to the water and trail systems—there were lots of big family groups, so if you want a quieter retreat it may not be the best. Bathrooms are older, but the hot water was great. Large parking lots for those with primitive sites.

Our RV GPS wanted to take us farther east on I-10 to exit 455, but we followed the campground’s (CG) website’s westbound instructions that matched Waze and Google Maps. From Exit 451 to the CG was an easy drive. We were met as we entered the (CG) by the owner, Brenda. We had asked for a satellite-friendly site and she had us going to back-in site 9, but thought we might like a pull through site better. She led the way in her golf cart to look at each of the sites. We stuck with our original plan and took back-in site 9 with FHUs. When we were checking out sites, we were met by the farm’s goats, which was really cool. We had no issues with the utilities and the water pressure was good. Although Brenda had identified a water leak at our site, Robert quickly ensured it wouldn't affect our stay. We got 3 bars on Verizon, and though trees are scattered about in the CG, we had no issues putting out our Starlink. Campsites are nicely spaced apart with a picnic table and fire pit. The only discount they give is military due to their son currently serving. Later after we got set up, Robert and Brenda came by to deliver the farm fresh eggs that we ordered at check-in. At the CG’s quaint little store, you can start a tab for items such as eggs, jams/jellies, ice, and firewood. The store also has hats, t-shirts, sweatshirts, soaps, and laundry items. They do not have a laundry but we found a nice one in Junction. They have a very clean shower house. The owners are super accommodating and sincerely care how your stay goes. At the end of your stay, they bill you for any remaining balance for your site and for any items you purchased from the store. There was plenty of space to walk our dogs around the property of this large pecan farm along the river. This was one of the best private CGs we’ve stayed.

Jake from the Dyrt here! We're excited to have this campground on the Dyrt and ready for you to book, check them out and make sure to leave a review!
LegendGreat staff. Large sites. Full hookups. Great location. Close to I-10.
Guide
Nice park but unfortunately overnight in your RV is no longer allowed. It’s posted throughout the park that only tent camping is allowed and day use only for RVs.
ScoutWe were headed to Tucson for a quick visit. The staff were very nice. The site was level and quiet. The river was low but beautiful.
We will go again.

Friendly staff that helped us out when we were late and had no reservation! Close to the river, clean restrooms, pretty quiet overnight except for some traffic noise from the bridge.
GuideAs a general rule, we like to stay somewhere a month. At Pecan Valley, we did so, of course not knowing what to expect exactly, as always. We were very pleasantly pleased with our stay, and we will definitely be back. I'll just bullet point out all the pros, followed by one single con.

Town Notes:
ScoutWe loved this campground. Lots of places to walk & saw wildlife every day. Restrooms were clean & very nice. The washers are bigger than a lot of RV parks too. The staff is very friendly & accommodating. We extended our stay 3 times! If you're in the Texas hill country, this is definitely the place to stay.
GuideWe just stayed here for 3 nights and had a wonderful stay. Lots of trees for shade and it’s right beside the river. Each site had a picnic table and a fire pit.

We’ve camped here 3 summers in a row because there is nothing like it . Huge campsite area with so many activities your family won’t be bored. Water park , mini golf, River access and so much more. There is a restaurant on site and a store with anything you might need on your stay. Laundry room and clean showers. I will Keep Camping here with my family . Try the brick oven pizza, you will not be disappointed. There is a cute little wagon that sells coffee and breakfast items in the mornings. There is also a snack bar for a quick bite by the pool. I recommend renting a golf cart, the site is too large to walk everywhere. Try the rec room activities, it's a fun way to cool down when the kids have had too much sun.

PROS. The park is a must during autumn. The leaves change color and great weather. Wonderful hiking trails.
CONS. Park ranger(lady) was very rudely and racist towards us made the trip to be okay. I hope others don’t get the same treatment.
Lastly, I will say it’s a beautiful park go and enjoy.
ScoutThis is an amazing place to get away. The owners are very amiable and helpful, and they have a terrific little store to buy farm-fresh eggs, goat milk soaps, and jams. They also have a little free library inside the store if you need something to read! They are also backed up right next to the river, and have wild deer roaming around.
TravelerIt’s close to the road so easy to get to. It’s a very charming and quiet place. RVs are well placed and not crowded. There were deer feeding and running wild. They have a cute little store with delicious pecans and T-shirts etc. I highly recommend and we certainly will be making a repeat visit.

Good staff, sites not that Great. Inexpensive
ScoutWe were looking for a nice overnight next to the river on short notice and they delivered, and during spring break no less.
GuideThe area is in a small valley so the spots are cramped together. The park itself, is beautiful. I was here on a Spring break night, so it was very busy. I’m not sure if I should complain about the following since it’s not the park’s fault. My neighbor kept using my electrical outlets (and water). This wouldn’t be a problem if I didn’t need to use it myself. I tried to ask them, but they didn’t speak English. I know they are not mine, but it’s aggravating. The park host was not answering their door. Then, later, they started their charcoal with diesel fuel which was right next to my truck RV window. This was the charcoal they used for cooking! SMH. There is no cell signal, there is wifi right at the visitor center.
GuideA beautiful/quite overnight stop along side a small stream. Last night while eating dinner we saw 3 deer walking through the campsite. They were not bother in the least by our presence.
GuideSweet place to stop for the night. The staff are wonderful people. About 2 miles off the highway so pretty quiet. They have a little gas station there too.
TravelerI stayed one night and was very happy with the grounds and cleanliness. It was a cold night so the hosts kept the rec center opened all night in case anyone needed anything. The rec center had a nice kitchen and tv/cable setup and a small convenience store onsite. I would stay again without question.
ScoutVery friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of room for big RVs. Clean laundry facilities.
TravelerBreaking in our new TAB 400 and wanted to stay somewhat local first time out. This campground is primarily RV spots- full hookups and some tent and cabin areas along the Guadalupe. Pull through a and back ins. Very quiet and nice location just outside of town (Kerrville, TX- recommend the Rails Cafe if you get tired of camp cookin’)
Not much privacy between the spots so expect conversations with friendly and like-minded neighbors. Bath- showers - laundry available tho it’s a bit of a walk to get to from just sites. Kayak - paddle board rentals available too.
ScoutDrove out to sleep for the night and the park is gated off with a sign “do not enter park/hunt in progress”
TravelerNice park for a overnight stay, there are quite a few full timers at the park. The sites both back in and pull thru need some updated care. The river at the park was dry due to the drought, the bathrooms and showers were old but clean.
