Pool at Leisure Resort on the San Marcos River/Source www.Leisurecamp.net
I wanted to write and tell all of you about an RV park that is near and dear to my heart. For years my family has enjoyed the peaceful setting and beautiful San Marcos River that flows through Leisure Resort in Fentress, Texas. Thinking back, I believe my grand some (now age 14) was 5 when we first ventured into this park. It was one of those ads in the Texas Campground Guide that had a pretty picture so my daughter and I decided to make reservations for the family. What a great decision it was.
On our first visit we met Cathie and T.J, the owners of the park and it didn’t take us long to realize that their dedication to hard work was what made that park a success. Their team made us feel at home from the start and then I made a huge mistake. I started telling all of our PPL customers about my hidden jewel and they all started making reservations, too! I know that is what I really wanted to have happen, but the next time I needed a reservation I discovered it was full. Now I know to plan early and often.
My friends at Leisure Resort have had a heck of a year in 2015. The park was badly flooded during the Memorial Day storms in Texas, leaving many of the structures in dire need of repair. Amazingly, a team of employees and volunteers got the park and all the amenities back up to normal within a few short weeks with a lot of blood, sweat and tears. The river had receded and the park was back to normal…a short lived normal! In the midst of hayride events and pumpkin patches, another horrific storm hit the same area Halloween weekend and wiped out even more than the first one. A bad blow, both economically and spiritually. It knocked the wind out of their sails. Again, this team has rallied and the park is looking great. There was a bumper pecan crop enjoyed by many in November and they are making plans for a great Winter and Spring season.
Make plans now to call and make reservations. This is one of those parks you want to make sure you put on your bucket list…and come back again and again. Take a group up there for a day trip or spend time in your RV. Enjoy!
