Why You'll Fall in Love with San Marcos TX | RV Texas Y'all

[@Alexjames969]

I live in San Marcos. Go bobcats. I haven't been to some of these places yet. All of these are on my checklist

[@rvamericayall]

Awesome! Have fun!

[@normangebhardt2092]

Thanks for highlighting all the major sights in the area. When traveling I35 my car always pulls into the Tanger Outlets parking lot near San Marcos. Great place for bargain hunters.

[@rvamericayall]

Good tip, Norman! Thanks!

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks for joining us! We had a GREAT time exploring San Marcos! So much to do around that area, and such an interesting ecosystem. Thanks again to Don of Dallas Ring Finders for the drone footage of Pecan Park. We've put a link to his channel in the description so you can check it out! We've also put links to all of the places we visited in the description.

[@trailerwookie]

It's MartinDALE, not MartinTOWN.

[@rvamericayall]

I know it sounds like I said Martintown, but I promise I said Martindale. I don’t know why I sort of mumbled there. I thought the exact same thing when I watched the video back. Sorry about that. -Stacie

[@horacenicolds2339]

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.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks

[@shannonnorris1627]

I really love your shows. It makes me really get into rving. I really would like to meet up just to have some of Toms chillie

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Shannon, it’s about chili time again! 😋

[@sarahly249]

We love that park!

[@klyonsden]

Aquarena Springs. Now that brings back some 70's memories!

[@rvamericayall]

😁

[@raeboyd5596]

I live in San Marcos so I opened this video and yall are so much fun! and you make San Marcos so fun, I had no idea! lol!

[@rvamericayall]

Glad you enjoyed it, Rae! Lots of good stuff around you. Have fun exploring!

[@markmahan6768]

I too spent many days as a child and young adult at Aquarena Springs, I loved it! I was so sad to see that it is no more, however, it is wonderful that it has been conserved for research. Thanks for invoking all those special childhood memories for those of us who remember Aquarena Springs!

[@rvamericayall]

Absolutely Mark! Wasn’t Aquarena Springs awesome?! We were so glad to see that the glass bottom boats are still operating.

[@CCaudits]

That was an awesome park.

[@rvamericayall]

We had a great time!

[@kayleerae3383]

we’re leaving in a few days to stay for a week, we always stay in the little circle with our family. we’ve been going for years. edit: our site is a few down from where y’all stayed!

[@rvamericayall]

Awesome! That’s a great area of the park. Have fun!

[@kayleerae3383]

RV Texas Y'all thank you!

[@mikemayyou2909]

Once again our favorite Texas Ambassadors have not let me down. I visited San Marcos in my youth and its wonderful to see it,takes me back to great memories.I have been telling my wife about that gravity room forever, and there it is . Its upgraded a lot since then.(40 yrs later). Thanks so much. Can't wait till your back in Galveston. Safe travels.

[@rvamericayall]

Hey Mike! Thank you so much! We really appreciate it! 😁 We had a great time in San Marcos. I’m sure we’ll make our way back to Galveston by early next year.

[@hoss1003]

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]

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.

[@mystery4681]

Hey you guys, I loved your video...would love to visit wonder world park maybe some day, and see the area aroound San Marcus...Thank you for sharing.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks so much! Lots of fun around there.

[@cjmar76]

Hi really enjoyed your video, just a quick question where did you guys leave your 🐕 pup? Will be traveling with two large dogs and would like to explore the area and was wondering if u guys used kennels/dog daycare

[@rvamericayall]

Hi Cruz! Thanks for watching. We left her in the RV at the campground while we explored. It was plugged in with the air conditioners running.

[@victorarcos6178]

Thanks for sharing, we are looking forward to visit the places you showed on this video. ❤️

[@rvamericayall]

Have fun Victor!

[@ArmadilloJunction]

We loved The glass bottom boats and swimming pigs haha, I need to go back and check it out as an adult

[@rvamericayall]

So many fun memories! 😁

[@enedelia4525]

That's kind of funny cuz I live next to a San Marcos River

[@rvamericayall]

That’s a great area Mario.

[@ktrcno1]

We are thinking of staying here. Looks so nice! What site number where y’all in?

[@rvamericayall]

I think that was site 226. It's a great location for exploring San Marcos and the other nearby communities. We have more about our stay here on our website if you'd like more info: rvtexasyall.com/region-texas-hill-country/rv-parks/pecan-park-riverside-rv-park

[@MRHEAT20]

Always nice to watch your videos- but dam now I got a cravin for bacon 🥓🍻

[@rvamericayall]

Lol Ed! Love us some bacon

[@OneForTheRoad-de2fh]

What brand of river shoes do you recommend?

[@rvamericayall]

We've worn Zeko shoes for about a year and half now. They are super lightweight, comfortable and have drains in the soles. Here's a link so you can see them on Amazon: amzn.to/2ZX3R4d

[@RandisAdventures]

Great campground tour! I’ve never been to a campground with an activity room or oven to use! 😎

[@rvamericayall]

We always enjoy our stays there.

[@bertkelly7650]

Texas sized breakfast, y'all!

[@rvamericayall]

Heck yeah! 😁 We actually cooked ahead for several meals. 😋

[@dogemaoxian]

great video with lots of information!

[@rvamericayall]

Glad it was helpful!

[@timebanditrvtravels3449]

no one ever talks about price wounder why?

[@rvamericayall]

We don’t talk about prices because prices change. Here’s the link to the rates page on their website: www.pecanpark.com/camping-rates/

[@robbinbeach6452]

Love your videos!! #RoamingwithRover

[@rvamericayall]

Thank you Robbin!

[@hebguy07]

I think Deep Eddy,in Austin is older for amusement park?

[@rvamericayall]

Good question Dale. Any idea when Deep Eddy began?

[@hebguy07]

@@rvamericayall 1915 ,I think

[@covetthecamper2289]

Wow... what a beautiful area. That Pecan RV Park looks awesome. Thanks for all of the information. On the list... I’d better get moving!

[@rvamericayall]

LOL! There is so much to see! 😁

[@bsoutdooradventures9541]

Are you guys going to the LolaPalooza meet and greet your favorite UT friends @ Cooper Lake State Park South Sulphur ? . It is LOLA Lost On Land UTube second year. It a blast. Oct 24- 27. Lots of cast iron cooking. You guys will fit right in. Great video..love this place. Love the history. Peachy B👍👍❤️.

[@rvamericayall]

Hey Peachy B! We hadn't heard about this. We'll look into it. Thanks for the info!

[@markmahan6768]

And Wonder Cave too!

[@rvamericayall]

We were so glad to finally get to visit Wonder Cave! We felt like kids!

[@lisablaus1459]

$69.00 a night?

[@rvamericayall]

I believe that is the summer rate for the end sites. Ours was a little less than that. They also run discounts from time to time. Here’s their coupon page... www.pecanpark.com/coupons-specials/

[@reneedehoyos5002]

Heading to Pecan Park Riverside RV park soon. I can't wait! Thank you for your excellent videos.

[@rvamericayall]

Awesome Renee! Have fun and say hi to David!

[@edithp.7213]

Great video as usual. You know what would really be cool.....?.....if you would tell us what you pay per night in each of your campground stops.

[@rvamericayall]

Thank you Edith! The reason we typically don’t mention pricing is because the parks change their rates from time to time. Here’s the page on Pecan Park’s website where they list their current rates: www.pecanpark.com/camping-rates/

[@ronniebatiesr4491]

Thanks Guys great job safe travels enjoy your videos 👍🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Ronnie! Always great to hear from you. :)

[@marilynmulkey6095]

How do I remember Aquarena Springs and the Gravity House. Our children loved going there.

[@rvamericayall]

Good times!

[@Just_a_Proud_Dad]

The area is beautiful. I remember meeting Ralph the swimming pig in the early 90's. Pretty hysterical. I also remember the springs being full of albino catfish. Did you see any, I was curious to know if they were still there?

[@rvamericayall]

We didn’t see any albino catfish on this trip. They could have been there though, further down or in the grasses.

[@n1uno1965]

Great job! Have you ever thought of putting an image of state of Texas with an icon of where you are in these videos? It might be good for those whom may be geographically challenged? Always enjoy your discoveries!

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks for the suggestion! We appreciate it.

[@wantsomething3319]

Really cool sites, thanks for sharing, even learned stuff. Great job! Hey Stacie, you didn't say, was the boat trip as good as you remember? A lot of times, unfortunately seeing things from an adult perspective isn't as great as you remember as a child. Jayman...

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Jayman! Yes, I really enjoyed the glass bottom boat ride. I wish Aquarena Springs was still around.

[@Meredith471]

Thanks for sharing! I will definitely be checking out these places next time I go to Wimberley to see my folks (they live right on the outer edge of Wimberley/San Marcos). Next time y'all are in that area, be sure and go check out Wimberley. They have the cutest town circle to do some shopping, the Wimberley Cafe has great food, and the people are real nice.

[@rvamericayall]

Will do! Thanks for the suggestion! :)

[@judyabernathy80]

What a beautiful RV Park. It’s so beautiful there. Thanks for another great video!! You two are such sweet peeps! I hope I have a chance to meet you both sometime. Blessings to you!!

[@rvamericayall]

Hi Judy! It is a very relaxing park. We love all the trees! Hope to see you out there!

[@weswalker1208]

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.

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks Wes! We definitely want to visit the glass-blowing place in the future. There is still so much to see and do in that area!

[@carolthiele190]

I used to take my girls to Aquarena springs every summer. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

[@rvamericayall]

I have so many great memories from Aquarena Springs!

[@BEACHBALL56]

Love all your videos. Just a tip: never say “if you liked this video”. Just say things like ... “and don’t forget to give us a thumbs up 😁”

[@rvamericayall]

Great tip! Thanks!

[@lisasmith2065]

Hey there. Love your vidios. We're watching one now . Your at Pecan Park. You commented that you have a fire pit, and that it was unusual . We live in the east. We've never seen a campsite without one. We even went west last year through the twelve states, and always had one. Well I'm glad you enjoyed it. Happy travels

[@rvamericayall]

That’s awesome, Lisa! We see firepits in all of the campgrounds (like state parks), but it is very unusual to see a firepit in an RV park around here.

[@lisaheath1]

Thanks for the tour. You guys make me want to visit TX for sure. I'm in WA right now. Caves are so cool! 😎😎

[@rvamericayall]

You're welcome Lisa! We love caves!

[@charliecharlie7898]

What a wonderful video. I felt like I could stay in San Marcos, forever! Such a gorgeous area!

[@rvamericayall]

Thank you! It is pretty.

[@fredwilson9113]

What a great video. My wife and I live down the street from that Park. Living here all my life sometimes I forget how much stuff there is to do around here. Thank you for the video and the reminder of all the things I could be doing when I can't get away....

[@rvamericayall]

Hey Fred! Wish we had seen y’all! There is so much to do around there.

[@pjwroblewski]

I'm happy to see that park has recovered. We used to go there every year when our kids were small. Unfortunately we were there after the flood and the park was a wreck. They did not inform us of its condition and charged us full price without the use of the amenities we normally received.

[@rvamericayall]

Sorry to hear that, Patrick.

[@davidbrickey5925]

Very nice campground. You guys enjoy your visit. 👍☕️🍩

[@rvamericayall]

Thanks David! We had a great time!

[@thompsonstravels615]

Thanks for a great video Tom and Stacy!! Really enjoyed it! 😊

Looks like a great park and San Marcos looks like a great place to visit with lots of cool places to check out!

[@BenNstyle]

👍🏼San Marcos👍🏼

[@TexomaRoadTrippers]

When I was a kid we visited there once, Aquarena Springs that is. That was a little fancier glass bottom boat from what I remember. Mid to late 70's when I got to go,,,,I think..lol Sure looks different. Still beautiful looking though. Did you guys see any nice looking campsites for tents around the river there? Thanks for sharing!

[@rvamericayall]

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.

[@TexomaRoadTrippers]

@@rvamericayall Ah okay, thank you for the info. I just looked up Leisure Resort, primitive tent camping is $32.00 a night. Thanks again for the info, that gives us a start on knowing what is around down there. Y'all be careful out there. Take care, Brandon

[@MoonGypsy]

I love San Marcos ,I got to live there for about a year. Good times !
