    Camp sites are in a large cow pasture across the street from Bankersmith Dance Hall and Saloon. Please don't come expecting Yosemite or the Ritz Carlton. This is as primitive as it gets. Conveniently located in Fredericksburg, Texas off the famous and beautiful Old Highway 9. A short 7 miles from downtown Fredericksburg, these primitive RV and primitive campsites are close to Luckenbach, the Old Bat Tunnel and Alamo Springs Burger. In fact the campsite is directly across the street and a short walking distance to the historic Bankersmith Dance Hall and Saloon. Guests can enjoy this Texas Original with concerts, festivals most weekends or even just by stopping by for live music(played daily) and a cold drink. The Saloon is open 7 days a week! Campers are of course allowed to bring in food or drink on the campgrounds but it may be easier to enjoy the food from Bankersmith’s Restaurant and Full Bar literally across the street! Hamburgers, Chicken Wings, BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwiches and a whole lot more(even Fried Bull Testicles)! This Bankersmith Texas Campground is primitive on site but guests are welcome to use both the restrooms and water sources across the street, in the Saloon, when open. The camping grounds are on a open field close to the entrance of the parking. Campers are not to go through the second gate due to live stock.

      Great place

      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.

      Great hidden gem

      Stayed in my RV over Memorial weekend. Small rv campground, so book early. Overlooks and has access to Medina river. The owners are extremely kind and helpful, even providing corn to feed the deer.
      But don't tell anyone, let's leave this our little secret.

      Nice place to sit for a couple days

      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.

      UP IN THE HILLS

      Stayed on the 'hill side' and really enjoyed the park. Most sites you pull in paralllel to the road which is nice. Had deer through our site every day. Really good hiking but some of the trails were closed due to race events. Close to town and not too far of a drive to Fredericksburg and went to the Nat'l Pacific War Museum and that was well worth the drive. Here in October so park was about 1/8 full if even that.

      Pleasant Experience

      Our RV GPS took us right to the park where you check in at their headquarters building. Check in was quick and we proceeded to pull through site 9 with FHUs. Site 9 is only a pull though if site 8 is not occupied. The sites in this area are set up on both sides of the road with you parking in a line, parallel style. There are white lines painted on the road to designate where the sites begin and end. Once unhitched, we were able to park our F450 adjacent to our 5th wheel. The park has cable TV with lots of channels. We got 4 bars on Verizon. The utilities are towards the back of the site, and we needed 15’ for sewer, 20’ for water, and 20’ for electric. The water pressure was good at about 50 psi. We had a clear shot to the north sky for Starlink. A south sky satellite shot may be iffy due to the mature trees in that direction. The WiFi was okay for a CG this size. Site 9 is near the playground and one of the two shower/restroom facilities. The sites in this campground (CG) are for the most part close together, especially in the front area near the entrance. There’s a large fenced dog park along with plenty of areas to walk your dog. With the county airport adjacent to the CG, we enjoyed watching the wide variety of small aircraft. We enjoyed playing a round of golf at the course adjacent to the CG and touring the local wineries.

      What an Incredible Find

      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.

      Location but…

      Fantastic location for Hill Country! Primarily big rigs and folks wanting full hookups, not many folks hanging outside-either in their vehicle or away exploring. Lots of grass, not much shade/plants and zero wildflowers despite height of season. Bathrooms not very clean, especially moldy shower grout. Many county workers buzzing around early morning but all prepping for eclipse, not cleaning.

      Great tent camping

      The tent sites are huge and spread apart. Picnic tables and fire rings at each site. Flush toilets and showers. A highway run through the camp so there is some noise from that, mainly during the day. Town is 2 miles away.

      Needs better customer service

      We had reservations for Alamo Fiesta and were running late. The directions from the internet didn’t get us to the right place. We called the office at 5:00 pm and got voicemail. No one called back. Finally found them with help from locals. No one in the office. Everything was dark. Our late check in info was not in their box. Luckily I had a pre assigned site number. Found a map in the trash by the door. We found the site and set up ok. But No pass code for bathrooms or internet! We were able to use laundry without a code. They were clean and everything there worked. Can’t comment on bathroom because we couldn’t get in! Guys playing pool in the rec room said that the bathroom were closed!

      I guess they dont want my business

      I would have loved to write a glowing review about this place, but they never responded to two reservation requests via the Dyrt camping app, so i'm giving them one star for poor customer service. 

      Zero stars would of course have been more appropriate

      Pecan Valley RV Park

      Relaxing, well managed, definitely coming back

      As 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.

      Pros:

      • Quiet.  I-10 is across the river branch the CG sits next to, but you really don't hear it unless you're listening for it.  You definitely can't see it!
      • DEER!  Every day, about 6:30'ish the come across the main road, through the pecan orchard, behind the owner's house and equipment areas into a large field.  It was so awesome to keep a side window open and holler at the wife: "It's DEER-THIRTY!"  (There is also a large heard of Axis deer in the area.)  We saw as many as 30 at one time.
      • Chickens.  Their "rules" state to keep your animals leashed, because the chickens are their pets!   They even let you know what is not okay to feed them.  We had some oatmeal that we bought that wasn't what we expected, but made great chicken feed. "Chick, chick, chick!" will bring them!  I named two of them "Big Elvis" and "Little Elvis" based on the size of the "hair" on their heads (even though they are likely hens.)  They are super curious, don't leave your bay doors open!  It's fun to watch them taking dirt baths!
      • The river is right there!  We tried to walk most every day, sometimes up the entrance all the way to the main road, sometimes down past the many-chickens coop and "Goat on a Boat" area, down to the river.  When no one else was there, I liked skipping rocks.  
      • Cute little gift shop.  Just write down in the book what you got and pay at the end.
      • Owners:  Delivery of pecans (regular or candied), firewood, packages.  I'm telling you, the owners were so friendly and so awesome, maybe the best we've ever had in 4 years of full-timing.  We had gotten one bundle of firewood (just as inexpensive as anywhere, but MORE of it, and it's hardwood), but realized that we likely wanted more.  The owners were driving by on their golf cart, parking someone, and I just asked for a couple more bundles when they got a few minutes.  Sure enough...about 15 minutes later, they came by in the golf cart with more firewood!
      • Drainage.  The second-to-last day of our stay (and also right before we arrived), there was a very rainy day. We had gotten back with groceries and it was a torrential downpour.  (I took off my tennis shoes in the truck and just muddy-sock-footed the groceries and put them inside.)  The rain slowed later, and it was almost back to normal.  It rained, again hard, during the night, but tapered off around 2am.  When we got up to pack up the rig in the morning, there weren't really any muddy spots.  We've been in campgrounds where it's just horrible.  Pecan Valley set up their spots correctly!

      Cons:

      • Tree Sap.  Now, this doesn't apply to every spot and, honestly, it's not that big of a deal.  Unlike pine sap, the sap from the pecan trees just washes off easily.  Every few days when we'd get in the truck, the windshield would look horrible, but a squirt of washer fluid and a couple of wiper wipes and it was perfectly fine.  That rainstorm our last day, it washed off the truck completely!

      Town Notes:

      • Lowe's Grocery store:  Not a bad little store for a small town.  Much better than I expected.
      • Spurs Liquor store:  Right on the corner between town and FM 1674 (road to campground).  Cute little store, was pleasantly surprised.
      • Junction Fuels:  If you need diesel, go here.  Don't be intimidated by the setup.  I just parked, went inside to ask "how it works", then got it handled that time and the rest.  You want the "CD" pump (Ultra-Low Sulphur Diesel), second unit with pumps 3 and 4.  Park at the pump, go to the blue box at the end, enter your pump number and put in your credit card and zip.  Maxes at $75, I had to run it twice.  Absolutely best price in town, way better than at the corner of I-10.  During our stay, most in town were like $4.69 whereas Junction Fuels was $3.99.  At one point, it had dropped to $3.97, but no else had dropped at all.  This means they are being reactive to market prices.  (I believe this is the right propane location, too, though we didn't need it during our stay.)

      We 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.
