If you’re just trying to be close to the city, this is the spot, I walked to 6th street, and it has the best little market a block away. The owner is very friendly. Spots are pretty cramped but overall a great experience.

I called to make reservation (only way to reserve), called 3 times, left 2 messages, they never returned my call. Apparently they don’t want my business.

Lovely stay, sadly only one night passing through, but great location, super friendly host, and next to some great restaurants. Will be back for sure!

Excellent place to stay. They have full hookups or disperse camping. 50 for dispersed but for an extra 20 get the hookups. Close to the river and downtown Austin.

All the satisfaction of the Austin experience without the outrageous hotel cost.

This place is a bit unusual. Great location in the middle of Austin. We are crammed in between an Airstream Classic and the mailbox area and as much as I shouldn’t like it, it’s still pretty cool. Not a lot of outdoor space but we made it work.

In the center of town with walking access to restaurants, parks and river. Larry was very helpful and friendly. We’d stay again.

Our favorite place to stay in Austin. This is a hidden gem. It's not fancy, there are no facilities, but the location is fantastic and hidden very close to downtown Austin. There are several restaurants within walking distance.

We really enjoyed this place for the people and the location. The facilities weren’t in the best of shape, but that didn’t bother us – we were right near so many things to check out. We went on bike rides and runs right from the site and we could easily hop on a scooter and check out so many popular Austin spots. There is also a gas station store across the street from the park that has most things you will need in a pinch. There’s even a brewery next door! If we find ourselves in Austin again we will totally try to get a spot here – the location was great. We enjoyed checking out the bats, the presidential library and more!

We called ahead of time to see if any spots were available. We were told that one overflow spot would be available when we arrived or a bit after... they were doing an electrical check on it. Upon arrival she decided to put us in her driveway. We took it as we really had no other choice, other than leave and take our chance elsewhere. ...moreWe called ahead of time to see if any spots were available. We were told that one overflow spot would be available when we arrived or a bit after... they were doing an electrical check on it. Upon arrival she decided to put us in her driveway. We took it as we really had no other choice, other than leave and take our chance elsewhere. $60 for cement driveway next to the office. She explained that we could use the grassy area in back, however we soon found out that the park uses this area for the doggy poo area. It is also where the garbage cans are located. So for two days we had anyone that needed to poo their dog, get to the garbage, or get to the office... walk right through our site. Even the managers walked right through. At night when you're sitting in you camp chair, it can be alarming. Also people in the back side of the driveway would use the spot to turn around their vehicles. We finally placed a cone in the driveway so people would know we are camping there.Bathrooms were old and dirty. First night, hair in both men’s sinks... only got worse for the time we were there. Toilet paper on floor. See pics. Looks like mostly long term residence campers here with a few overnighters. Only thing this place has going for it is its location.

A fantastic little Oasis right in the middle of Austin. What a great find. Easy walk to Downtown. Quick jaunt over to Barton Springs for a swim. We will definitely visit here again. It was a perfect location for us as we wanted to explore great Beer and BBQ.

A nice leafy green spot to park, located close to many restaurants and parks. I paid $35 for partial hookups, but the owner told me I could dump at one of the unoccupied spots if I wanted to. I didn't use the restrooms and don't think there is a laundry. My site was a little off-level.

I wish every city in America had an urban RV park like Pecan Grove. The location is incredible and it made our time in Austin great. We were able to walk to downtown (~15 minutes), south Congress (~40 minutes), and Zilker Park.

The location is incredible and it made our time in Austin great. We were able to walk to downtown (~15 minutes), south Congress (~40 minutes), and Zilker Park. For anything further there were many Jump electric bikes, a B-cycle station, and scooters from Lime, Bird, Lyft and Spin within steps.Juliet, the Italian restaurant next door, had live music some nights but always wrapped up before 10. We considered this more of a feature than an annoyance.We can’t wait to come back.

Although this place has a great location, it’s too small & tight for a class A motorhome - I saw the manager lifting power lines for another coach to exit. Class C or trailers would be fine. We were assigned an overflow site (never told this over the phone) which only had a 30amp hook up - we used an adapter but the weak voltage fried ...moreAlthough this place has a great location, it’s too small & tight for a class A motorhome - I saw the manager lifting power lines for another coach to exit. Class C or trailers would be fine. We were assigned an overflow site (never told this over the phone) which only had a 30amp hook up - we used an adapter but the weak voltage fried our converters (which we discovered in the morning, over a holiday weekend). $$$ and inconvenience aside, it was noisy and not kid friendly.

I came here with a reservation for 1 month and after 3 days, I asked for another month :) I’m a remote nomad worker so within walking distance (or electric scooter on a lazy day) I could set up shop at Kava Bar, Starbucks, the Central Library or on a nice afternoon the patios of Uncle Billy’s Brewery or newly open Irish pub Darcy’s Don...moreI came here with a reservation for 1 month and after 3 days, I asked for another month :) I’m a remote nomad worker so within walking distance (or electric scooter on a lazy day) I could set up shop at Kava Bar, Starbucks, the Central Library or on a nice afternoon the patios of Uncle Billy’s Brewery or newly open Irish pub Darcy’s Donkey (old Austin Java location) All have excellent WiFi. Agree with cell reception. WiFi router is located in middle of the park on top of the bathhouse and most nightly sites are closer to Barton Springs Rd so unless you have a booster - will be difficult to get a descent signal. Head over the Juliet’s restaurant for a pint and grab their WiFi password and you’ll be golden up front there! Bathhouse is probably the worst you will ever expenrience but that’s is the only downside to this park. It was built in the 40’a and is 90% full time residents who are all extremely friendly by the way. Best location for an urban campground ever!

Can’t beat the location! We were able to walk into downtown Austin from our campsite. The manager is super friendly and helpful, laundry is available and cheap ($1 wash, $1 dry), and everyone we talked to in the park is nice.

We were able to walk into downtown Austin from our campsite. The manager is super friendly and helpful, laundry is available and cheap ($1 wash, $1 dry), and everyone we talked to in the park is nice. This campground has mostly long term folks, but they also offer sites for short term stays. We stayed in November 2018 and again February 2019. It’s a small park, but we didn’t have any trouble getting into our sites. Some sites are a little unlevel, but it’s easy to roll up on a couple blocks. Overall, a great spot. My only complaint is that cell service is spotty in Austin. Not just this park, but all around the city. Not sure why? We have ATT and Verizon as well as a weboost cell booster. We managed, but Brandy did loose internet connection in the middle of a video conference call once during the week.

There was easy access to the park from Barton Springs Blvd and there was plenty of restaurants and activities within walking distance. Park staff was super friendly and grounds were really clean. There were only a few campers that looked like they’d been parked there for years on end. However, seeing the few Airstreams in the park made the place iconic. The restrooms were a bit outdated but overall it seemed like an oasis. WiFi was slow at times but not a deal breaker given the reason for the stay. I would definitely stay here again.

Bob was very friendly and helpful. Facilities are older, but clean.

The reason to stay here is location! You can easily ride your bike around the city from here. The people were very friendly and we had a great stay!

I understand that the cost/night can very greatly depending on what’s going on in Austin (SXSW).

Can't get a better location than Pecan Grove for visiting Austin! Weekly rates for 30AMP are $270, 50AMP are more. Daily/weekly sites are a packed close together but you won't want to stay in your trailer when the whole city is your backyard anyways.Pros:- Within close walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops and breweries (...moreCan't get a better location than Pecan Grove for visiting Austin!

Daily/weekly sites are a packed close together but you won't want to stay in your trailer when the whole city is your backyard anyways.Pros:- Within close walking distance to restaurants, coffee shops and breweries (Shady Grove is good, Austin Java awesome, Billy's Brewery good for beer only)- Cheap! Like, can't believe I scored this deal cheap!- Laundry on site.- A nice peek into what "old Austin" was like. You will meet many long term residents here (some 30+ years!) and their unique lawn ornaments.- Right at the start of the Lady Bird walking path! Perfect 3 mile loop for a nice jog :) Plus, a park area to let the pup run around.Cons:- Our site was meh. We were squeezed between 2 other nightly/weekly sites in an island in the middle of the park road.We were tempted to pick our long term spot and plant some yard flamingos and call this place home. It is that convenient! Hope to be able to visit again!

Nestled right in the middle of downtown Austin neighboring high rise apartment buildings is this little park that has 50-60% permenant residents. Once you drive past the main building you'll feel like you're in a neighborhood. We walked everywhere while staying here. 15 minute walk to gorgeous Barton Springs pool, 20 minute walk to downtown Austin. Additionally, Thom's Market is right at the entrance of the park and has all your basics.Some people complain about the service and amenities, but when you stay here, you're staying here for convenience. Bathroom's and laundry isn't the cleanest and grounds are pretty basic. We had fine service, owner bikes around the park and is in the office most of the time. There are a lot of rules, but nothing too crazy.We were super lucky and able to get a week long stay at super short notice. We had to move once in order to stay that long, but if you call and offer up that option the owner may try to get you in.

If your rig is around 21 feet or less, you will fit in site 4 which is one of their "overflow" sites - the other three overflow sites are very close to the street. A nice restaurant on the other side of the fence but not overly noisy, and not late at night. We LOVED our spot - see pic.

The sites here are cramped but you can't beat the location. Laundry facilities were pretty decent ($1 for each load with washer and dryer) and showers were decent as well. It's all about being able to walk into various parts of town from this spot. Warning: cell service/wifi for working out of the rig is TERRIBLE and can't be trusted.

Can't believe I've never reviewed this place here but...It's awesome. If you travel a lot you should have heard about its grandeur by now. Tough to get in, but once you're in, if they like you, you can usually stay for as long as you'd like. Our last time around we got a permanent spot...the day before we decided to leave.

Camping in an RV park that's walkable to downtown is pretty special. With only 12 rentals spots, you should book ahead. This park is mostly filled with full-timers, which gave me a sense of community and security. The restrooms are not fancy, but are adequate. Zilker Park is close, as well as many restaurants.

What more is there to say then Pecan Grove has an absolutely stellar location. OK, if you want more, then read on. Pecan Grove RV Park is not the nicest RV park you will find, but who cares?

Pecan Grove RV Park is not the nicest RV park you will find, but who cares? It sits on a prime piece of real estate on Barton Springs Road, right in the heart of the South Austin action. You can walk to Zilker park (just a couple blocks to the west). Downtown is just across Lady Bird Lake via a pedestrian bridge. Speaking of the lake, Pecan Grove offers excellent access to the jog/walk/bike trail around the lake. And there are the restaurants/bars/food trucks within a couple of blocks of the park.If you are feeling like walking a bit further, South Congress, South First and South Lamar are all within 1/2 to 1.5 miles away. You can walk through residential neighborhoods, or along the busy streets - your choice.So the good is the location and access to all that is cool about South Austin.The bad is that Pecan Grove is an old park with some small spaces. It is noisy (go figure, being in the heart of the action), especially if you are up front like I was. I had a space that backed up to Uncle Billy’s BBQ and Brewery right next door and they liked to start beer making activity really early. One morning I was awoken at 3am by banging and clanging. I guess that is what ear plugs were invented for! :)It is also hard to get into Pecan Grove as there are only 12 transient sites available. The rest if full of full time residences. I inquired how long the wait was for a month-to-month spot (I would kill to live there, right next to condos that go for up to $1 million - great part of town) and was told several years. Bob, the manager, informed me that there are only three ways a spot opens up. Death, divorce, or job relocation. He said there are people who have been there upwards of 30 years and you could tell this from the age and condition of some of the rigs. Let me tell ya, the full time residences really get creative with decorating their spaces. Mostly in a good way.If you want to stay in the heart of the Austin action, and can actually get a reservation, give Pecan Grove a shot.I paid $250 a week plus $40 for the additional night.Cell signals are unboosted, but my Verizon was a bit flakey.Overall 5 stars for, you guessed it, location, location, location.
