    Son’s Island

    A tropical oasis right here in Texas!

    Son’s Island is awesome! What a great experience we had. We stayed in one of their glamping tents. It had 2 queen beds and a twin bed but the best part is it had air-conditioning and it stayed very comfortable. You get to use the cabanas for free at night from 7:30 PM - 10:00 am when you rent a tent but you must also rent a cabana for the day if you plan to stay. It is well worth the money. Each cabana comes with its own private dock, lots of comfortable seating, electricity, water, BBQ pit, picnic table and hammock. We heard lots of people rave about this place. It definitely surpassed our expectations!

    Son’s Geronimo

    Great family experience!

    We had a fantastic time at Son’s Geronimo! Their glamping cabins are super nice and had everything we needed including AC, WiFi, full kitchen, fire pits, hammocks etc. We have a family of 6 and the setup was perfect: 2 queen beds and 2 twin beds. The property itself pretty large and has a lot of creek frontage. We kayaked, paddle paddle boarded, swam, fished and more! They also have lots of amenities: 2 pools, 2 hot tubs, volleyball court, basketball court, game room, horseshoe pits and more. We will definitely be back!

    Son’s Guadalupe

    Great time on the Guadalupe River!

    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.

    Son’s Guadalupe

    A nice campground right on the Guadalupe River!

    We really enjoyed Son’s Guadalupe! It’s a beautiful setting, cabanas and glamping tents on a small hill overlooking the Guadalupe River with it’s huge cypress trees and giant limestone bluffs. The glamping tent was perfect for us. It had 2 queen beds with foam mattresses, 1 twin bed, bedside table with fans and the best part: AC! It’s a very family friendly location compared to others on River Road. We tubed Whol we stayed there as well. It’s a nice setup as they take you up river to float back down to your glamping tent and/or cabana.

    Pedernales Falls State Park Campground

    Hill Country Haven

    Another Texas State park that shines! Sites are big and even though pretty close to the other sites still feels very secluded! Picnic table with shelter and Fire Pit with grilling included. Restroom and Showers close enough to every campsite! Firewood and Ice sold on site just pay attention to hours of operation! The trails were well marked and great sites! River was a great way to relax after decent hiking! Lots of wildlife, Deer, birds and Hogs!!

    Rebecca Creek Campgrounds

    Cute campground

    It was a cute place. A lot of the RV spots are taken up by people who live there. The glamping tents are super cute. The regular tent camping is nice and grassy. Dogs have to be on leash 24/7 that was the only bummer.

    Bending Oaks Ranch RV Resort

    Relaxing and Convenient Adult Stay

    This location is a great find especially in the Texas heat! This use to be a KOA but now an adult resort I really like the changes they are making including some spots will have grill with patio seating. Most spots they have are fully shaded with trees and the area is kept immaculate for the next person arriving. Several RV parks in the area did not offer any shade I cannot imagine the heat especially the day I left it was 100 degrees. There are two wineries in walking distance which are not only convenient for safety but allow no hassle trying to park. There is also a gas station right across the street making filling up east. Another amenity they added is an actual park spot next you site making parking convenient. Lastly, I love animals and the ones within and surrounding were so cute.

Guide to Fair Oaks Ranch

Glamping near Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas offers access to the Texas Hill Country region's limestone terrain and outdoor activities. The area sits at elevations between 1,200-1,500 feet, creating milder temperatures than surrounding lowland areas. Campers should note that summer temperatures can exceed 95°F, making spring and fall the most comfortable camping seasons.

What to do

Dinosaur track hunting: At Government Canyon State Natural Area, visitors can explore prehistoric footprints preserved in the creekbed. "There are some dino tracks in the creekbed to check out in the backcountry along with an old stone house. Supposedly there are some hidden caves off trail but I haven't found them," notes Emily M.

Riverfront recreation: Canyon Lake provides opportunities for water activities when staying at nearby campgrounds. "The boat ramp was easily accessible and there was plenty of space along the shoreline to hang out," according to Tim M., who stayed at Potters Creek Park.

Explore small towns: The camping areas provide easy access to charming Hill Country communities. "We went to a fun town, Fredericksburg tx, today, we are already talking about going back there if time permits, was really a lot to do there, beautiful town, we drove through boerne, and need to go see there historic old town and shops too," shares Beverly T. from Alamo Fiesta RV Resort.

What campers like

Wildlife encounters: The natural areas around Fair Oaks Ranch feature abundant wildlife viewing opportunities. "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," reports Shelly S. at Cedar Sage Camping Area.

Spacious campsites: Travelers appreciate the well-designed camping areas that provide adequate space between sites. "Large spots, fire pits, Medina Lake access and the friendliest of people!" exclaims Brittney W. about Thousand Trails Medina Lake.

Clean facilities: Modern bathroom facilities rank high on campers' appreciation lists. "The bathrooms are very spacious and clean. There were nice separate individual showers with hot water and nice dressing area," notes Mark G. about his experience at Turkey Sink Camping Area in Guadalupe River State Park.

What you should know

Seasonal water levels: Water access can vary significantly throughout the year at area lakes and rivers. "When I walked down to the river it was still not up to its usual level... When the river is 'working' there are kayak/tube opportunities, unfortunately no way of knowing ahead when you book what you're going to get," warns Shelly S. about Guadalupe River State Park.

Reservation timing: Popular campgrounds fill quickly during peak seasons. "Show up early on the weekend when it's nice out otherwise all of San Antonio will be lined up to get in," advises Emily M. about Government Canyon State Natural Area.

Highway proximity: Some glamping accommodations near Fair Oaks Ranch are located close to major roads. "Only downside is it's right off major road, so noisy if you're in the first couple rows," cautions Mary G. about Blazing Star Luxury RV Resort.

Tips for camping with families

Small park convenience: Blanco State Park Campground offers an accessible option for families wanting both outdoor recreation and nearby amenities. "No need to pack groceries as the park is right off the Main Street. We've enjoyed most of their restaurants around their courthouse. It's great because we don't have to cook," shares Kingrex49 M.

Trail accessibility: When planning hikes with children, check trail conditions and restrictions. "If there is too much rain, the park will close down all the trails as they don't want to ruin the area with people walking in mud," explains Brian V. about Government Canyon State Natural Area.

Pet restrictions: Not all trails are pet-friendly, requiring advance planning for families traveling with dogs. "We found that there were only 2 trails that were dog friendly. We didn't realize there were two separate areas for the trails allowing and not allowing dogs," warns Salina G. about Government Canyon.

Tips from RVers

Arrival timing: Late arrivals may face challenges at certain campgrounds. "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," cautions Joel R.

Site selection strategy: For optimal comfort, consider the location of your site within the campground. "I tryed using the posted address 33000 interstate 10 west frontage road, unable to find kept coming back... Sites are close but have a picnic table and grassy area between the neighboring site," notes Beverly T. about Alamo Fiesta RV Resort.

Construction updates: Road work can affect access to glamping sites near Fair Oaks Ranch. "Note! The highway in front of the campground is under construction, so where it would normally be an easy off easy on, it's a little tricky getting in and out with the bigger rigs," advises Beverly T.
