my favorite park
great well kept back in RV spots. The river is warm and clean, you can tube, kayak snd swim or just sit in the water. When there is a drought they will turn off the water so its boom docking.

Some hiking trails, some excellent campsites right along the river! It’s a smaller park, so there is not as much to do, but we enjoyed our stay, despite being rained on!





This is a great park close to the river. We stayed in the primative walk in area for one night and the campsite was shady and cool. the RV park is not next to the river so it's a short walk away. It has clean showers and bathrooms. The staff was friendly and helpful. We would go back but stay in the RV park this time.
disclaimer: Not the State Parks fault. With the water level low and the burn ban in effect, it’s hard to give the park more than 3 stars. One can’t truly enjoy the park if all you can do is sit in the water. Campfires make the night when camping, not being allowed any fires just ruined it for us. The folks who work there are great and friendly (them I would give 5 stars).
Go to the other side of the river for hiking in the Bauer unit unless you are doing the Honey Creek tour. The tour is beautiful creekside. You can kayak the river with your own shuttle. Swimming is good here.









The campground area is just a boxed off gravel area not 3 feet from another boxed off gravel area. The only camping areas are right on top of each other, so you can hear pretty much everything that's going on.
The camping spot are frequented by families, which is fine, but they tend to bring everything. Last time, a family brought a small TV and let their kids watch movies all night. Fun times.
The hiking is ok though, especially if you walk the other side of the river. It's a bit of a drive around but less people usually. If only there was camping allowed over there...
We had a great time at Guadalupe River State Park. There are plenty of areas to camp with all the expected amenities. It usually isn't too busy so you can get your pick of the camp sites. All of them are walking distance from the river where there are good places to get in as well as trails all around to see the beautiful Texas Hills Country.






Arrived on a Thursday plenty of tent sites available. Some are small others are nice and spacious. The tent pads are caliche. Having a hammer is a must. Pet friendly. River to swim in. Restrooms were clean. Staff friendly. Lots of hiking

This is one of my favorite place to go during the summer to camp out and jump in the river. The park is nice, and the river is great for the whole family. It's a nice spot to escape the heat.
A great place to take a quick swim and get out of the Texas heat. Be sure to bring your dog! Awesome views and friendly people.
Campsites are $15 a night or $90 a week. They have a picnic table as well as fire rings with grills.

The river is usually nice, but the part of the park I went was a bit trashy and there fish hooks in the water. Other than that it is a nice park with some trails.
We camped at Guadelupe River State Park last weekend and loved it! They have pretty nice facilities and access to the river is fantastic.
