Pecan Park is perfect for those that want to feel like they are in the country while still being a stone’s throw away from city amenities. They’re off a main highway, next to a beautiful stream with lots of trees and grass. It’s a fairly picture-esque setting. The ladies in the office were very friendly, as were our site neighbors. The only problems we had were that for some reason, at around 2pm every day, all of our wifi options would absolutely tank. And it was a night and day difference. During the morning we could stream and in the afternoon we were lucky to have speeds to send emails. The campground wifi was like most campground wifi - unreliable at best. We would still very much recommend staying, especially if you’re fine just downloading your shows in the morning to watch at night.
Tyler thinks his stupid walk will ruin the photo. HA! Jokes on you!
City:
San Marcos, TX
San Marcos is a sprawling college town right off of some major highways. They have big box stores, a ton of hiking trails, and a very cute downtown with an oddly high amount of ice cream stores (not that I’m complaining, I’m pro ice cream). Overall, it was one of the better towns we’ve stayed in. The constant traffic on the main road is obnoxious, but other than normal town problems, we really enjoyed our stay
Restaurant:
This restaurant is actually in Austin, but since we didnt eat out in San Marcos I’m counting this one. :) Our friend Tyler actually flew out to join us for this experience, and Otoko didnt disappoint. It was a revelatory experience in sushi for us all. It’s an incredibly intimate group experience. There are only a few spots each night, and the chef prepares everything in front of you. It was really expensive, but also really worth it. Some places you go to eat, this is one of those places you go to experience.
