Our review on Campground Reviews:

Close to I-10 but a world away

We stayed for a week and wish it had been longer. This park (and I do mean park) was so tranquil and relaxing but also convenient on/off the Interstate and close to town for groceries, etc. When we pulled in, we were met by the owners, who guided us to our site. All the sites look out over a large grassy area and are nicely spaced, so there’s a good feeling of openness. We also had a good view of one of the chicken coops and really enjoyed watching the hens throughout our stay (and giving them treats). There is a nice farm store by the main chicken coop and goat pen where you can buy goodies and swag, plus the owners or camp hosts will bring farm-fresh eggs to you on request ($5/doz). You can also wander down to the river for swimming, fishing, or just relaxing with the resident ducks. We will definitely stay here again when we pass through the area. We camped at Pecan Valley RV Park in a Motorhome.

An interactive map of the RV park; our spot was to the right of the “Space #18” marker:

This RV park is delightful in part due to its free-range chickens — not so great if you’re afraid of the tiny raptors, but we enjoy them, and miss them from our former homestead. Here are several chickens at our site:

The utilities were fairly convenient:

We also got around to adding the Big Bend National Park sticker to our coach, the last new park for several months:

More pictures of chickens at our site:

We gave them some leftover rice as a treat (the owners invite people to give treats); here’s a video of chickens eating the rice:

And a slow-mo video of chickens eating rice:

They liked to hang out on our mat (yes, I had to clean off a little poop when we left; not a big deal):

The RV park also has some goats:

And a few ducks down at the adjacent river:

They also feed the wild deer daily; the deer are smaller than we’re used to:

And there are squirrels living in the trees; here’s a video of lots of them scampering:

They have a raised bed garden near the river (currently dormant, being winter):

And an unstaffed “general store” where people can go in and choose items to buy, purchasing by writing the selected items on a pad of paper:

Well, the store is staffed by chickens, but I’m not sure they count:

Inside:

The store list:

We bought some cookies, candied pecans, and a tea towel:

They also sell freshly laid eggs; we bought a couple dozen:

The “chick-in” point:

When we arrived, we received info on items for purchase etc, and a free sample of candied pecans:

Art and a garden:

The RV park was fairly sparsely populated at this time of year. Here are some other RVs and the bathroom:

Near our site was a mobile chicken coop; here it’s being opened in the morning:

Let’s finish with a couple more pictures of our site:

A delightful park; we’ve really enjoyed having the chickens and other animals around. We’ll definitely stay here again.
