My partner and I read countless glowing reviews for Pecan Grove and were drawn to the city location and seemingly cool vibe. When we found out they had availability for a 2 week stay, FULL HOOKUPS, we were stoked. But our excitement did not last long. Soon after we arrived, our dream park turned into a nightmare. We pulled in around 11pm and saw we had a text from the owner's assistant Jim. It had a picture of our site and a message saying that it had water and electricity, but no sewage. We were confused because we had booked a site with full hookups, but after driving for 10 hours we decided to just park and ask about it in the morning. When we went to check out the site, we ran into the owner, Larry. We introduced ourselves and explained the hookup mix-up. He was super helpful and invited us into the office on the spot to work it out. He rearranged our reservation so that we could have full hookups, as described. But the next morning, we received a phone call from Jim stating that we needed to vacate the spot within the hour because someone else was pulling in. My partner tried to explain that Larry had moved us to this spot last night, but he kept talking over her until she finally said we would come into the office to figure it out in person. Not even 5 minutes later Larry knocked on our door. He greeted us by saying we should just pull out and get on our way, that we weren't the "right fit" for the park and that we were causing too much "drama." We were stunned. Right fit? This isn't a job interview, it's a park reservation. He seemed totally different from the person who personally moved us to the site the night before. He NEVER mentioned that this site was temporary or that we would have to move in the morning. He offered us a portable sewage tank, which we were totally open to, but when we asked about the size of the tank and where the dump site was, he said "The longer we talk about this, the more frustrated I'm getting." When we finally got a chance to explain that our tanks are combined and we have to empty more often--as if it's his business--he said, "You're two girls. There's no way you're crapping enough to dump more than every three days." What????? We are full-timers who have traveled the entire country and stayed at many camps. We have NEVER been so disrespected or belittled. He ranted about his 6 month waiting list and said he had never had so much discussion over a site in his life. He wouldn't let us get a word in so I'm not sure what "discussion" he is referring to. Needless to say, we got out of there as soon as we could. The site itself was an asphalt slab with zero shade, zero yard, NO WORKING WIFI, definitely no table or fire pit and tons of road and restaurant noise. Bathrooms look like a prison. Bottom line: FULL HOOKUPS MEANS FULL HOOKUPS. Not a portable tank, not pulling through a full hookup spot for one night. Larry, you may see women as dumb "girls" who don't know the difference between full hookups and a dump site, but anyone could tell you that full means ALL. Not 2/3. I would not recommend this park to my worst enemy, and certainly not to any woman.
