The San Marcos River is a wonder only nature can provide. It starts from a crystal clear underground spring. The abundant foliage along the river’s edge gives the feeling of being in a jungle . There are many native wild creatures, fish, and birds that call this area home.
Pecan Park Riverside RV Park 
the campground is set in a large grove of green pecan trees (it’s Pecan Paradise!), offering a scenic, peaceful location of 24 acres along the San Marcos River, where you’ll find fuzzy and feathered friends scrambling around the native pecan trees at the park.
When you stay there, you’ll be immersed in a lush, quiet atmosphere. The mild winters in San Marcos make it a prime destination for “Snowbirds” and other “Winter Texans”.
Local humidity is less than that of the coastal cities and, averaging only 30 inches of precipitation per year, there is no real “rainy season.”
San Marcos is a quiet community located on the edge of the “Texas Hill Country”, just 30 miles south of Austin and 50 miles north of San Antonio. Pecan Park is located along the San Marcos River, giving you easy access to all the San Marcos area has to offer:
