Why You'll Fall in Love with San Marcos TX | RV Texas Y'all
Рет қаралды 21,264
5 жыл бұрынJoin us as we explore San Marcos TX! There are a ton of fun things to do and great places to eat in San Marcos, which sits right on the meeting point of the Texas Blackland Prairie and the Texas Hill Country. We returned to Pecan Park Riverside RV Park, just outside of town to serve as our home base during our stay. This family-owned RV park feels almost like a campground with its mature trees and location right on the San Marcos River. It is super convenient to everything in San Marcos and a quiet place to relax after a day of exploring.
Thank you to fellow RVer and our neighbor during our stay, Don Wilson of Dallas Ring Finders, for the drone footage of Pecan Park. Check out his KZfaq Channel: / @dallasringfinders5764

My father was born in San Marcos in 1895. We took our kids there in 1985 and went on the glass bottom boats. Wonder Cave and the Antigravity House. It was a great time and they all remember it still. Great video.

Hey Ya'll. Love Y'all's channel. On your Jeep you have a outside body roll cage. Besides holding your Kayaks, is it strong enough to help in a roll over. I Pray that it never happens. Just wondering. Hope you all had a good Fourth of July, see y'all later.
@rvamericayall 5 жыл бұрын
Hey Hoss! Great question. We don't know for sure, but it is basically part of the frame. We can hang off of it on the side and rock the entire Jeep side to side. So it probably would give us at least a little bit of extra protection.

Hey y’all! We did not see any tent camping in or around San Marcos. We’ve heard that Leisure Resort in Fentress has tent camping. It’s about 20 minutes or so from San Marcos. And there are a lot of tent camping options in amd around New Braunfels along River Road. That would be about 30 minutes to an hour away from San Marcos.

Between San Antonio and Austin you could easily spend two weeks in that area. You are very near the glass-blowing place I don't know if you'd ever been there I believe it's between San Marcos and Wimberley closer to San Marcos if I'm not mistaken. The restaurant that you ate at in San Marcos is there a damn right outside the deck. Because I was at one very similar to that it was an old Gristmill.
