Enjoy a diverse selection of activities in and around BECS RV Park in Concan, Texas!
BECS RV Park is in close proximity to the Frio River, allowing access to all kinds of water recreation. The Frio River's water runs cool, clear and clean at a moderate pace, making it ideal for tubing, canoeing, kayaking, swimming and fishing. Experience is not necessary for paddle trips, as the river is calm and fairly shallow compared to other Texas rivers. The Frio River flows past Garner State Park and on down to Concan, which is the most paddled stretch. There is at least one outfitter in the area offering rentals and information. If you'd rather stay dry, then take a stroll along the river banks; the sheer beauty of the river and changing colors of the seasons make the Frio a unique experience and worth visiting. There are several outfitters offering rentals and river shuttles.
