December looks a little different depending on where you’re camping. In Central Texas, RV life during this time of year often means cooler mornings, comfortable afternoons, and an active campground atmosphere without the intensity of summer heat. If you’re wondering what camping in December is really like at Pecan Park Riverside RV Park, here’s a realistic look at what guests can expect.
Comfortable Weather That Changes How You Use Your RV
One of the biggest differences RVers notice in December is how comfortable daily life feels. Daytime temperatures are often mild enough to enjoy being outside without relying heavily on air conditioning. Morning coffee outside, afternoon walks along the river, and evenings spent relaxing near your site are all easier when the weather cooperates.
While mornings and nights can be cooler, most guests find the balance ideal for RV living — especially compared to the heat of Central Texas summers.
An Active Park With a Mix of Travel Styles
December at Pecan Park is not an off-season shutdown. The park remains open and active, welcoming a mix of overnight travelers, weekend guests, and longer-term stays. This creates a steady, social atmosphere where people come and go while others settle in for a longer stretch.
It’s common to see neighbors chatting, people heading out for day trips, and campers enjoying the shared rhythm that comes with winter RV travel.
Daily Routines Feel Easier
Many RVers say December is when routines finally click. Cooler temperatures make it more comfortable to cook, walk, explore, and take care of everyday tasks without rushing indoors. RV maintenance and setup can also feel more manageable without extreme heat.
Guests staying longer often appreciate having access to amenities that support everyday comfort, from full hookups to convenient park features designed for extended stays.
San Marcos Stays Busy — Just in a Different Way
San Marcos doesn’t slow down completely in December. Restaurants, shops, and outdoor spaces remain active, and the area continues to attract visitors who prefer cooler weather. Whether you’re exploring town, enjoying the river, or taking a short drive to nearby Hill Country destinations, there’s no shortage of things to do.

December Is a Popular Time to Stay Put
For some RVers, December is a month of constant movement. For others, it’s when staying put makes the most sense. Comfortable weather, an active park, and easy access to town make it appealing to slow down and enjoy where you are.
If you’re considering a longer stay, reviewing rates early can help you plan ahead and find the option that fits your schedule.
A Realistic Look at Winter RV Living
RV life in December isn’t about quiet campgrounds or empty parks — it’s about balance. Cooler temperatures, an active community, and a steady pace of travel create a season many RVers look forward to each year.
