Pecan Grove RV Resort

Pecan Grove RV Resort in Kenedy, Texas, is a convenient and comfortable campground in Karnes County — a well-maintained resort with spacious RV sites and RV and trailer rentals that serves both the traveling camper on the US-181 corridor between San Antonio and Corpus Christi and the extended-stay guest working in the oil and gas operations of the Karnes County Eagle Ford Shale play, which has made this South Texas county one of the most actively drilled petroleum producing counties in the United States since the horizontal fracking revolution reached the Eagle Ford formation in 2010. Kenedy's Karnes County position on US-181 and TX-72 gives the resort the practical South Texas highway access between San Antonio (65 miles northwest) and Corpus Christi (90 miles southeast) at the crossroads of the Eagle Ford Shale's most prolific producing counties. Spacious full-hookup RV sites and RV and trailer rentals give Pecan Grove the practical accommodation range for both the through-traveler on the US-181 corridor and the extended-stay oilfield worker, contractor, or engineer whose Karnes County work assignment requires the longer-term campground infrastructure that the resort's site quality and the Kenedy location's access to the Eagle Ford operational area specifically sustains. The RV and trailer rental option gives the guest who arrives without camping equipment the on-site accommodation alternative that extends the resort's market beyond the self-contained RV traveler. Pets are welcome. The Eagle Ford Shale, the geological formation that underlies Karnes and surrounding counties in South Texas, is one of the most productive oil and gas plays in the United States — a late Cretaceous marine shale formation that the combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing has developed since 2008 into a tight oil production zone that peaked at over 1.7 million barrels per day in the Texas Railroad Commission's production data and transformed Karnes, DeWitt, Wilson, and LaSalle Counties from agricultural communities into the most active petroleum production district in Texas during the shale oil revolution's peak decade. The Karnes County area's oil and gas infrastructure gives the Pecan Grove resort its specific extended-stay industrial worker market. Goliad, 35 miles southeast of Kenedy in Goliad County on US-183, is one of Texas's most historically significant small towns — the site of the Goliad Massacre of 1836 where Colonel James Fannin's 342 Republic of Texas soldiers were executed by Mexican General Santa Anna's order at Presidio La Bahia following the Battle of Coleto Creek, in the event that made "Remember Goliad" the battle cry alongside "Remember the Alamo" in the Texas Revolution's final San Jacinto campaign. The Presidio La Bahia's original 1749 Spanish colonial fortified mission church — the most complete Spanish colonial fort in the western hemisphere — and Mission Espíritu Santo's reconstructed compound give Goliad the intact Spanish colonial heritage site that the San Antonio missions corridor supplements. Pecan Grove RV Resort serves guests year-round in Karnes County's South Texas continental climate, where the mild winters sustain the extended-stay industrial and travel market and the spring and fall seasons provide the most comfortable conditions for the Goliad historic touring, the San Antonio River Valley's recreation, and the South Texas wildlife and hunting access that the mesquite savanna and rangeland of Karnes County sustains. The Karnes City area's hunting leases for white-tailed deer, wild turkey, and South Texas feral hog give the campground's fall and winter guest population the specific South Texas hunting camp character that the Brush Country's wildlife abundance and the private ranch hunting lease system provide. Reserve sites ahead for deer season and the Eagle Ford activity peak periods.
