Great place to camp if you live in Ausitn or San Antonio. We camped at site 14 and it’s nice and shady and away from others. Alcohol is not allowed but no one checks your camp so don’t be rude and you can drink.
A nice place with many facilities. Good Wi-Fi, ro-exec download and mobile service(Verizon). The office women are very pleasant!
The area featured trees on the opposite side and was a larger Bloxstrap premium location. It was really easy to pull in, park, and set up. The toilets were handy, and the neighborhood is rather calm.
I passed off about 75 feet between sites. Most have views of the lake. At the moment the water level is very low and facilities near this campground are high and dry.
Beautiful scenery and easy access to the river. Roads are very rough though so make sure you have a high clearance vehicle.
Really beautiful and well maintained park and campground. Great hikes to the river and through fields of wildflowers and butterflies. Campground is well spaced and was quiet, even though mostly full, when we were there.
Stayed here as part of my son’s birthday, and had a great time. Stunned at all the activities and the people were all super helpful. Can’t wait to come back!
Very nice multi use campsites with tent pads and picnic tables and large flat parking pads. Sites were spaced apart and felt very private. The bathrooms are very spacious and clean. There were nice separate individual showers with hot water and nice dressing area. Several trails nearby and a short walk to the Guadalupe River where there was plenty of additional parking and picnic tables.
I recently stayed at Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort and was thoroughly impressed. The resort itself is beautifully maintained, with Buckshot Roulette spacious, well-maintained RV sites and stunning Texas Hill Country views.
We had reservations for Alamo Fiesta and were running late. The directions from the internet didn’t get us to the right place. We called the office at 5:00 pm and got voicemail. No one called back. Finally found them with help from locals. No one in the office. Everything was dark. Our late check in info was not in their box. Luckily I had a pre assigned site number. Found a map in the trash by the door. We found the site and set up ok. But No pass code for bathrooms or internet! We were able to use laundry without a code. They were clean and everything there worked. Can’t comment on bathroom because we couldn’t get in! Guys playing pool in the rec room said that the bathroom were closed!
Stayed here in October and did cold plunges and it was so lovely! Beautiful hikes and sunsets!
I went with a extremely rowdy group of individuals and it appeared that the attendants of camp Hueco are very patient people. They were very good at explaining what the expectations were for camping on the property and the expectations were for the others in the immediate area. Also please don't bring your mini bike!
Primitive camped here a few nights. Great staff and clean. Walking distance to river and other activities. Short walk to restrooms and showers. Water and power available on both sites.
We LOVE this park! Recommend it to everyone!
Disclaimer: I am biased towards COE campgrounds. Cheap, ample grass, trees, water, blue sky and stars at night. Usually a paved pad, reliable utilities, picnic table, fire ring, grill, friendly volunteers. Did I mention cheap? With a National Park Pass you get 50% off so nightly rate is usually $11-15 range. How can you go wrong. Almost always good site spacing, 20-30 feet. Almost always well maintained. Waaayy closer to camping than commercial RV parks.
Cranes Mill is 4 of 5 on COE scale, paved pads, pretty level. Good spacing, generally 25-30 feet. Hooded picnic table with usual fire ring, grill. Excellent bath houses. Canyon Lake was low when I was there (Nov,'22) but still fishing and boating activity. Small towns/shops <5miles, major shopping 15 miles. I'm going back in Feb'22 for another stay.
Good cell coverage - Verizon, 3bars LTE, 10+mb down, ATT 3bars LTE 10+mb down. I work remote so this is important. No issues in my ten day stay.
Guadalupe River SP
Arrived Tuesday in December, very empty. Sorta like the ole Texas ghost town but with staff. The Cedar Sage sites are for 20’ or less and have two parking spaces, a tent pad, hook thing and picnic table. Lots of space/foliage between sites, so you have some privacy and I’m sure when it’s busy it helps mute the noise.
The showerhouse is nice, separate shower rooms that need more hooks to dangle your stuff from. Very clean and well maintained.
I was informed by a host couple that the river was very low to non-existent over the last summer and the showerhouse was closed. There was a burn ban still in effect. When I walked down to the river it was still not up to its usual level.
We did get to experience some wildlife in the campground and on the trail. There were armadillo wandering the campground in the early evening looking for food . Then near the river early morning we saw first one group of deer near the overlook and then a large herd of close to 15 when we approached the river near the Discovery Center. There are two trailheads in the campground area, one was closed the evening we arrived. Unfortunately all the trails were closed around 0900 the next morning due to mud/slippery conditions and possible further rain fall. When we returned in the late afternoon the trails and parking areas had been reopened. When the river is “working” there are kayak/tube opportunities, unfortunately no way of knowing ahead when you book what your going to get so plan accordingly and bring lots of water just in case. Even in winter this park is worth a visit, I imagine it’s busy on the weekends .
We set up in section R, not easy to negotiate with the map, not well marked. I know there's a lake here somewhere, but it's not close to my section. I had to take my bike to get close enough to see the lake. Lots of scrub pine and huge deer herd wander about.
My family and I all visited Son’s Guadalupe in August for a quick getaway. I grew up camping, tubing and swimming in the Guadalupe growing up so I wanted to share that experience with my three sons but being from the area I also know how river rd can be rowdy at times in the summer. I was happy to find out Son’s recently opened up a place out there as we had visited a couple of their other locations and they had been very family friendly. We rented a cabana for the day as well as an air-conditioned glamping tent to stay overnight. We had such a great time! The cabanas sit right on the bank of the river and have everything you need including: seating, picnic table, BBQ pit electricity and water. The river is a bit shallow at their location for swimming (much of the Guadalupe is) but it the perfect depth to get in relax and cool off. This section of the Guadalupe River is very clear and flows great for tubing. We rented some tubes and they took us up river a couple of miles to float back down to our cabana which was very convenient. The scenery on the tubing trip is absolutely gorgeous, huge cliffs and cypress trees! After a fun day it was nice to relax in a comfortable tent with AC! The mattresses were foam and very comfortable. You do have to bring your own pillows, sheets and blankets though. For bathrooms, they have 5 individual bathrooms up top with showers. Overall we had a great time and I’d recommend the place. It can get a bit crowded on weekends so go during the week if you’re not wanting to be around crowds. Also, they rent everything a-la-carte, so if you plan to stay the night you need to tent a cabana or covered picnic table during the day. There website does a good job explaining everything but it’s a bit different if you haven’t been before so be sure to read through your reservation before heading out.
Nice place with tons of amenities. Good Wi-Fi and cell service (Verizon). The office ladies are really nice! The only thing that took caught us off guard were the military planes flying overhead, but it only lasted for an hour but it was loud.
The spot had trees one side and was a larger premium site. Was very easy to pull in and get parked and set up. The bathrooms were close and the community is pretty quiet.
We traveled to the canyon lake area on Labor Day weekend 2022. The campground was extremely clean and friendly! The shuttle service to Whitewater Amphitheater was awesome. Staff was great. Will be staying here again for sure!
Pros: Beautiful spots, beach access, boat ramp Cons: trash at campsite, 30/amp breaker was tripped and wouldn’t reset, bathrooms not well maintained, strict 3pm arrival and a 9pm curfew for arriving back into camp We stayed June 26th site 114. Not sure this would be our first choice if back in the area. Just felt like there were so many restrictions and tbh everything should be too notch condition if you aren’t allowing your campers to arrive before 3pm. Beautiful views. MANY of the campsite have to shade at all but there were some on the inner loops that have plenty of shade. This site was right across from the bathrooms so that was nice.
There's a new racket on the Guadeloupe River y'all. We made reservations for a Glamping tent for Father's day weekend. The price was high@$199.48 a night but we thought ok so we don't have to setup a tent plus it has A/C. I made the reservation for 3 nights with 20% off total was$560.24. I was not told at the time of making this reservation that I would also need a day reservation and that would cost extra. I would not have made the reservation if I knew it was going to cost a minimum of$380 for 1 day!$199 was bad enough. So someone else can rent the cabana right next to our tent during the day and could possibly go into our tent and help themselves to all our stuff! No sir! So in order to have access to our tent and make sure no one else rents the cabana next to us it will cost$478! WOW!!! for 24 hrs This also means that I can't leave our cooler, chairs or tubes at our tent. So every morning we have to load all our stuff up like we are checking out and leaving. Load all your stuff and put it in the truck while we are out floating the river then come back at 7pm unload and settle in all 3 days. What kind of crocodile snot is this?) I got my email confirmation and thought I was set. I called today and found out that the$199.48 is only for the hours of 7pm to 10am. What in the blue blazes is that? I have a reservation for 3 days! I can only be on the property from 7pm to 10am. I was informed that I needed day use and to rent a table or cabana to be on the property from 10am to 7pm below are the prices and breakdown of cost. I was told that this is the only property that is owned by the Sons company that makes you leave at 10 am and requires an additional rental for the other half of the day. I enjoy floating the river but I can tell you with absolute 100% certainty that I will not be floating from 10am to 7pm so this property requires you to pay extra to be there at any time between 10 and 7. Site# A Reservation date April 24$199.48@ night@ 3=$560.24 with 20% discount Pinic table cost$181.40 Saturday$81. 40 Sunday Cabana cost$279.

Sunday$199.48 W/table$81=$280.48 for 24 hours
We will be coming back to stay here again. Good power, water and internet. The staff is vary vary nice and go out there way to help you.
