Motorcycle traffic rumbles along River Road throughout the day, creating a steady backdrop of engine noise that some campers find entertaining while others prefer quieter spots. KL Ranch Camp Cliffside sits across the street from the Guadalupe River, offering full hookups for RVs up to 45 feet and tent sites with direct river access for swimming, tubing, and fishing.
The campground operates a shuttle service upriver for floating trips, with tube rentals available at $16-17 per person and strict no-glass policies enforced at checkpoints along the water. William C. notes that "floating times range from 1-5 hours depending on how long you want to float." The on-site store stocks basic groceries, ice, beer, and souvenirs, while quarter-operated showers provide hot water for cleanup after river activities.
Sites vary in shade coverage, with some offering better tree protection than others. Staff maintain the grounds well and assist with RV issues, though quiet hour enforcement receives mixed reviews from visitors dealing with noisy neighbors. The campground stays busy on weekends and during summer months when river activities peak. Muddy conditions around some RV sites can develop after rain, and the rough access road requires careful navigation.
Campers can explore campgrounds around New Braunfels for additional river access options, with downtown New Braunfels just 15 minutes away for dining and supplies.
