While we had a great time exploring local restaurants, wineries, and shops (and hill country) in Fredericksburg, Texas, our time at Firefly Resort was marred by very loud construction just yards from our site! 😞

Thanks for letting the RV community know about the unacceptable and unprofessional manner in which Firefly responded to your situation. No, it is not your or our responsibility to check their social media pages to find out an announcement of this type. The onus is on the business to let their customers know that they may experience something less than an ideal experience. How dare they try to shift the blame to you!! I have seen these tactics used by a few businesses as if there's no way they could be wrong about anything. In those cases they receive no further business from me and I will, like you, let others know about it. If they had simply apologized to you I bet that you would have felt better and your video would have been much different. I applaud you for standing up for what is the right way for people to be treated!!!

Well I will say it: I’m very sorry you had a bad experience at Firefly. I feel you on this … sometimes you just need someone to acknowledge and validate your concerns. I’m the same. I don’t work there but we do own 2 lots there (an RV site and a tiny home site, side by side). It was our dream to have a place where we could be in our coach and have family and/or friends next door in the tiny home. We consider it to be a little slice of heaven on earth. Seeing happy people there (at our sites or anyone’s) puts a smile on our face bc we love it there. Seeing someone upset is disappointing, so again I’m sorry your visit wasn’t good. I agree the construction on certain days can be annoying. Some days are worse than others, looks like it was really bad for ya’ll. It will be so nice when all the phase 3 expansion work is complete. We all love peace and quiet. Great video and glad I found you … I’m a new follower. Thank you and keep up the great work. 😊

I understand places needing/wanting to expand, but I also understand that they are there for the customers at the same time, and having a chip on your shoulder when responding to customers isn't really the best way to present yourselves. A park we used to enjoy (the owner since sold it) in Anaheim had construction going on across the street - but they were nice enough to wait until 9:ish before the noisy equipment started, and they only ran it until 3 - before and after was all smaller equipment that wasn't so noisy. The work got done in the required time, and the residents of the park weren't put out by all the extreme noise, so it can be done.

I can relate to the construction. Years back, we rented a home, a beautiful newer 2 story near Orlando. It was so new that come early the first morning, we found them excavating the area abutting to our rental property. The private pool we had at our rental home was very dirty, probably from the close by excavating. The noise all day was so bad, we made a point to just use the home for sleeping. We thought about complaining since there was no mention of construction but the house was so amazing, we just made a mental note for future vacations. The noise and sand & dirt blowing everywhere is terribly disappointing while anticipating a peaceful, relaxing time.

On my way to see the eclipse in San Antione I pulled off I-10 at what I think is called Pecan grove RV park. They didn't have any hookup sites but they made a space for me to dry camp off the road in. They had a campfire that night and offered red hot shots and several people brought out thier guitars and played the night away. Some of the niciest people ever. Wish I could remember the name of that place, best campground ever.

We had a similar experience at a Southeastern park. It was obviously under construction to expand the number of sites. Fortunately, we found the park amenities to be nice enough to offset the noise and dust. However, we were not located right next to the construction as you were. We did stay at a park recently that had construction in the area which was so intrusive, we will not go back. After that experience, we added construction to our RV park selection criteria. Sympathy for your negative experience. Appreciate your even handed perspective. Biggest concern is the high price for facilities that really are negatively impacted by objectionable noise.

We stayed at firefly back in April. We wanted to try it out just to see what it was like. We have been going to Fredericksburg for over 30 years usually around 3 times per year. We have always stayed at bending oaks and will from now on continue to go to bending oaks. This park used to be a KOA and we went through 4 or 5 different owners. The current owners decided to move away from the KOA franchise and go their own way. As y’all commented the trees are nice and give a lot of shade which is much appreciated in the summer months. When we started going to enchanted rock it was a private ranch which had a campground. We would sit at the bottom and watch people with hang gliders carry them to the top and fly off the summit. Fredericksburg used to be full of antique shops and now it’s all about the wine tourism. It’s still a great place to go and it’s only 4 hours from home. Hope y’all will come back sometime.

Nice video. Always love your content. We will be spending time in Texas during Winter months of 2024-2025 so it is good to see what you shared. The construction noise stinks for sure, but we're at a spot now for 2 months and there is an adjacent property, unrelated to our campground, doing major maintenance. Starts at 7am sharp and goes Monday through Saturday. Huge equipment, lots of noise. The first few days, we were frustrated, and when it was too much, did noise canceling with our AirPods, which helped. But within a week, we had tuned it out and by week 2, we really don't notice it any more. Same as highway noise or all the other noises associated with this life. I do totally get your point in your video. Not disagreeing. You gave fair commentary on the situation. And in our case, we are paying 1/2 to 1/3 the market rates for this area, so that is the win for us. I'm guessing it's a calculated risk by them to NOT advertise all that racket very well (or at all). Safe travels you two!

They should have had a notice on their web site as well as telling you when you checked in. I'm going to take a wild guess that this is not a Texas owned company. Their response was not very wise, they should know the RV community is not that big that both good and bad news travels fast, let alone with a traveling You Tube couple. Hopefully, the rest of y'alls stay will be much more enjoyable. God bless y'all and stay safe out there on the road.

Nice place but you hear the road noise on 290 all night, we were in the back. And the water hookups are below ground. It had rained and we had to scoop the water out so we could hook up. It was a turkey vulture flying at Enchanted Rock. So glad your last video pointed out the noise. I was able to get my site moved further way before our stay next month. Thank you.

Heck in February of 2020 we had construction tractors driving through our campsite, masonry saws, dust clouds, and a full landscape crew at Pecan Park in Jacksonville, Fl. They commandeered our rinse off hose and was using it as their own. I had to move our toad and retract our awning so they had access for the tractors, it was actually dangerous for us. I asked the office person if we could move sites since there were a lot of empty ones and was told I need to talk to the manager. The manager refused to talk to us by not being “available” to talk for days and didn’t respond to our requests. I videoed the travesty and sent it to the parent company who did not respond at all. The video is on my channel and is unbelievable. What a horrible experience.

I hope you never get treated like they did and you future stays are great too.

As a Texan, I am disappointed with Firefly's response. They can do better! Great video!

This happened to us 4 years ago and I am still not over it. I feel your pain. Even an offer of 10% refund would have been nice.

That is unacceptable. We stayed at a Marriott in Hawaii that had construction and we got it for half price. Plus the construction wasn’t visible from our room. You should not have to pay full price during construction. I would avoid this place in the future. I love how you looked at other campgrounds in the area. Poor management can ruin a place very quickly. And yes that was a buzzard 😂

Bending Oaks use to be a KOA in its early years. Fredericksburg RV is in town and long enough for your rig.

I think that Bending Oaks Ranch was the old KOA.

There are much better campgrounds all around Fredericksburg. We've not been to Firefly, but did try to make a reservation there a few months ago. First it was $85 a night, plus a "Resort Amenities" fee per person, per night and finally an additional daily charge for a pet! Two nights over a weekend came to $400! No thanks. We stayed instead at Buckhorn Lake RV Resort just outside of Kerrville. Close enough to Fredericksburg for trips into town, plus trips into Kerrville and it's one of the premier RV Parks in Texas for RVers. Average pricing is $55/night and they have cabins. Also, in Fredericksburg did you not see the Museum of the Pacific War???

You gave an honest and fair review of a situation that would be annoying to anyone and their response was we are expanding so be happy for us. Wtf? I hate to say I’m not surprised because these greedy outfits are everywhere now. I hope you had a nice time otherwise.

I fully understand your complaint. There's no reason why the construction couldn't start @8. If I remember you said you paid $89 a night. Which seems like a bargain compared to the parks you showed us and their rates/ settings. I'm curious about the 3 levels of sites at Firefly and their differences. Rates/ amenities. Going on our first trip next month to Kentucky to see the Ark Encounter using Boondockers Welcome. Big learning experience.

That 07:01 noise to those Firefly people is the sound of money. Yeah, they should have told you guys. Too bad about the poor customer service. Seems like they only care about getting their money, not the experience of the guests. Since we camp (not RV) the state park would be the winner for us.

It really isn't any different than having one of the amenities down (like the pool or bathroom) - campgrounds usually ALWAYS mention during the booking to allow you to make the decision if that works for you. Construction noise changes the "feel" you get when camping - how does one sit outside and have a conversation? - I get that construction happens when building out a resort - but making your customer aware in advance is a courtesy you owe your customer.
