Cabin camping is an amazing way to experience New Braunfels, while still enjoying a little rustic luxury. Finding a place to cabin camp in Texas is easier than ever. Each cabin offers quick access to one or more of New Braunfels's most popular destinations.
Flowing over and around huge slabs of limestone, the Pedernales River can be turbulent. But most often it is tranquil, and a great place to relax and recharge. We are just 30 miles west of Austin. Come over for an afternoon swim or hike, or load up your gear for an overnight adventure. The river awaits! Choose a site with water and electricity or hike to a primitive site. Bring your group to the Youth Group Camp or Equestrian Group Camp.
Listen to Onion Creek flowing over limestone ledges and splashing into pools. Follow trails winding through the Hill Country woods. Explore the remains of an early Texas homestead and a very old rock shelter. All of this lies within Austin’s city limits at McKinney Falls State Park - what are you waiting for?
Think of the park as Austin’s backyard; we’re just 13 miles from the state capitol. Here you can camp, hike, mountain or road bike, geocache, go bouldering, and picnic. You can also fish and swim in Onion Creek.
Onion Creek can flood after rainfall. Beware of the creek’s flow; contact the park for current creek conditions. Read through our swimming safety tips before you visit.
Stay at one of 81 campsites (all with water and electric hookups). Or rent one of our six newly remodeled cabins. We also have a primitive youth camping area, for use by nonprofit-sponsored youth groups

Potters Creek Park is situated on the northern shore of Canyon Lake in the rolling hill country of South Central Texas. Cool breezes off the lake create a pleasant environment for relaxing in this scenic area. The lake and Guadalupe River also provide great opportunities for boating, fishing and swimming.
Visitors enjoy coming to Canyon Lake for boating, swimming and fishing. The Guadalupe River is a great location for canoeing, kayaking and tubing. Both the lake and river are stocked with a variety of fish for each habitat including various bass, catfish, or river trout. Hiking, biking, horseback riding, birding, and wildlife viewing are popular activities in the surrounding hills. Five trails are available at different locations around the lake. There is a mountain biking trail, a horse trail, and several foot trails. You can not rent any items from the park, but must bring your own gear for all recreational activities.
The park is settled among Juniper and native Oaks on gently sloping terrain on the shore of Canyon Lake. Thick oak and juniper surround the upper campsites; sites closer to the waterfront are in full sun. Grassy fields of native hill country plants and wildflowers dot the landscape. Rocky outcroppings are scattered throughout the park.
Canyon Lake is near many sites of interest including Natural Bridge Caverns and the historic town of Gruene in New Braunfels.

Come for a picnic, afternoon swim, fishing trip or a weekend campout on the banks of the spring-fed Blanco River. We’re just an hour from Austin and San Antonio.
Guide
We stayed 5 nights visiting San Antonio. This is a beautiful park outside of the city on the river. 30 minutes to downtown. The owners are awesome people and there is a real pride of ownership shown in the upkeep around the park.
Pool, hot tub, fitness center, laundry, dog park, golf cart rentals, clubhouse, and much more!
Guide
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!
Guide
Great staff, sites are a bit tight in our section. Pool and hot tub are in need of updates
Guide
Stayed here for awhile and loved everything about it. One of the best parks I've ever stayed at. Outstanding water pressure, level sites, picnic tables at each site. The place is spotless. Loved the pool and hot tub. The place has to many amenities to even list. Must stay!
Guide
Big place w lots of spots. Shaded and very well maintained. Has full hookups w WiFi and cable. Tons of amenities like a pool, hot tub, playground, weight room, laundry, arcade, and a general store. We stayed on the 4th and could see the fireworks from sea world. Very nice staff and tenants.
Guide
Pulled off the highway for the night and stumbled across this gem. The sites are level, and the grounds are beautiful. A bit pricey, but it’s a vacation destination, not a rest stop. Pools, hot tubs, game room, craft room, this place has it all. The staff were extremely friendly at check in and the security seems to be good. We will stop here longer on our way back north.
Guide
My wife and I haven't been able to take a vacation alone together in years. We had just bought a travel trailer and we had a different place booked but then covid happened and they cancelled on us. We were worried that we weren't going to get some time together but then we found mystic quarry and let me say it was amazing. The owners did everything they could do to help us when we got there and during our stay. They offer river floating from a nearby tube rental place that will come pick you up and drop you back off at the camp ground. So much to do between the hiking trails, pool, hot tub, horseshoes, bocca ball courts, fishing at the nearby canyon lake. It was an amazing time and we will definitely be back.
Guide
This was our very 1st RV park. It set the tone for all our spots moving forward. Clean bathrooms, clean pool/hot tub, clean laundry, well stocked store, gated community, great walking trail around a big lake and near big long horn cows. Met some big white neighbor dogs on the trail, but they kept their distance. Seems like the middle of nowhere, but it's really close to Austin, lockhart, Circuit of the America's. We stayed a week. Will stay again.
LegendThis is an excellent place to stay if you want to check out San Antonio as it is in town and there is a bus stop which the park gives you a schedule for.
This RV park has everything you want and then some. Laundry room was great with lots of machines. There is also a heated pool and hot tub, excellent clean showers, gym and yoga, mini golf, TV/activities room and small store in the office that has a few RV necessities like sewer parts and also some souvenirs. They also have bulk propane they can fill on board tanks.
The lady when checked us in was very nice. The place is expensive though! We had a back in spot with full hook ups $65/night. We came here because it was 1 mile to my friend’s house and were expecting a Passport America discount but they said they do not currently offer that discount. The expense was worth it for convenience of being so close to downtown San Antonio but we only stayed the one night. The park also offers cabins. Good cell reception ATT and Verizon.
GuideWe stayed here a few days and enjoyed the cleanliness, gentle vibe the place offered.
There are great perks to staying here if just wanting to chill in the RV. But, it’s also close to the nearby attractions such as, the Alamo, The Mission state park and the River Walk. We enjoyed the amenities and the quiet gentle vibes of the RV park.
Perks include: pool tables, pickle ball, hot tub, pool and tennis courts!
Overall, I can’t imagine you would be disappointed unless you were expecting some large acre nature RV park, but it’s downtown and quiet...what more could you ask for!?
ScoutWe stayed here at the camp ground for a week. It’s a decent campground with a pool, hot tub, dog walk, minigolf and a playground for kids. Facilities are clean and grounds are well kept. Very close to the riverwalk and downtown. There’s even a bike trail into downtown. But this park is in a bad part of town. When we pulled into our site the lady next door told us to make sure we lock up our bikes. They have had theirs stolen in the past. On our fourth night here my husbands bike was stolen. We had two locks on the bikes. A cable lock and a kryptonite lock and both were cut. They didn’t take my bike, I guess because they didn’t have enough hands to take it. We ended up having to keep my bike inside our rv. And the park has no security or gate. And the neighbor next door told us at one point the thieves were cutting the fence to get to peoples bikes. Just be cautious if you plan to stay here.

Campground Review
This was my first time to Jellystone Hill Country, and my family had a wonderful time. We will be returning in the near future for sure! Luckily for us, they do have a very detailed website that addresses a lot of the questions and concerns one might have. So in this review, I will do my best to give insight to the aspects that may not be clear on their website.
CABINS
We stayed in a Cindy Bear cabin, number 6 specifically. What a fabulous cabin. It had everything we needed and had plenty of space for our family of 5. I love that the “master bedroom” is on the opposite side of the cabin from the bunk room. Makes the space feel larger. The kitchen has a full size fridge/freezer, microwave (huge, modern microwave), coffee maker, toaster, and plug-in 2 burner stove. NO oven so skip the frozen pizzas. You will need to bring ALL your own linens, including sheets, blankets, TOWELS, and dish rags. There was a small bottle of dish soap on the sink for us, but no sponges or rags. There was also plenty of plates, bowls, cups, silverware, etc. but the pots were somewhat old and had lost their non-stick properties. I would throw a frying pan into your luggage if you plan to make pancakes during your stay. (Actual items vary by cabin, so another cabin may have a very nice frying pan, who knows?). I literally didn’t see a single spider or fly in the cabin the whole time we were there, which is a miracle considering all the buggy cabins I’ve stayed in over the years. What a clean and pleasant experience.
GOLF CARTS
We rented a golf cart during our stay. While they are cute and fun to buzz around in, the park really isn’t big enough to warrant one, unless you are staying in a cabin or site very far from the action. When booking, there is an option to choose your specific site for a $15 fee. My advice is to pay the $15 and choose a site close to the Hill Country Hall and the waterpark, and save the $62 a day on the golf cart. We stayed RIGHT next to the HCH and had no noise problems whatsoever.
ACTIVITIES
Each weekend they have planned activities for the kiddos. Most of these activities occur on Saturday. Our weekend was Carnival Games and Halloween. The carnival was cute little games set up for the kids to play with candy as prizes. I would say the optimal age for that carnival was between 4 and 7 years old. In the evening they had a costume contest (we won best group!) and trick or treating around the park. The kids had a blast. Check their website before your trip to see the calendar of events.
WATER AMENITIES
Wow! If you and your kids love to play in the water, this is the place for you. Their outdoor complex includes: one standard rectangular pool, one very shallow splash pad with several water spouts and a tiny kids slide, which flows into a deeper (3 foot) pool, and a large kids water play center that includes two decently large kids slides, high pressure water cannons, and lots of stairs to climb around. We were so impressed by the sheer square footage of fun and how a whole family could be happy in this one place for hours. Also, plenty of seating for mom to relax ;). Here you can find their concession stand, that serves fairly priced hot food and Blue Bell ice cream.
If the sun is not your scene, no fret! They have an INDOOR pool too! The water is the perfect temperature, and has a connected hot tub for soaking. Perfect for mom and dad to relax in the hot tub and keep a close eye on the kids swimming.
STORE
If you forgot anything, or have the unexpected occur (like my husband having a stomach ache), the store is there with items you may need. They also sell tons of souvenir items if you want to adorn your entire house (or RV) with Yogi Bear paraphernalia.
Overall, I can’t say enough good about this place. The staff is friendly, the cabins clean and roomy, the activities sweet and age-appropriate, and the water park out of this world. We are already planning our next trip back!
(My family and I were given a discount in exchange for this review, but these opinions are my own and no way affected by the discount)
Product Review
As a Ranger for The Dyrt, I get products to test from time to time - here I am testing the MH2 Headlamp by Ledlenser ( http://www.ledlenserusa.com/mh2-505.html#start=3 )
One night, my daughter noticed a “cave” (read: drain pipe under a bridge) that she wanted to explore. Sure that there would be dangerous critters in said cave, we strapped the MH2 on her and followed close behind. Well if there were any critters, we would have seen them for sure!
The lamp was bright and strong and showed exactly where you needed it to shine. You can simply twist the lens in the front, and the beam can change from focused to broad. It also can shine red light, or flash, both of which would be very useful in an emergency. The headband is also wide and comfortable. The adjustable strap made it easy to transition between my daughter, all the way to my husband in a second. Both could wear the light comfortably. I recommend this headlamp for anyone looking for a low-price hands-free lighting option.

The Mountain Breeze Campground offers a little something for everyone. There are RV campsites, Cabins and Tent camping. There are also sport activity spaces like a volleyball court and some open fields. They offer raft and tube rentals and shuttle services that will drop you upriver. Access to the river is only a short walk away. One can swim, float or fish in the Guadalupe River. There is a restaurant on the facilities, but I believe that it is only open during the summer months. The rates vary by the season with the summer season being the most busy time and the winter being the least busy time to visit. During the summer expect crowds at both the campground and using the facilities for day use.
This campground might be good for large group events because there are a variety of accommodations and amenities available. For tent campers do not expect wide open spaces and peace and quiet. The campsites are all rather tightly packed together. If you're with a large group this might be fun. If you're just trying to find a little space, this might not be for you. There are restroom facilities located centrally. The office also has a little store for basic camping supplies.
While I like that the campground offers a variety of amenities, I kind of feel that the grounds are set up like a cattle ranch - designed to herd campers through the facilities. So this campground gets high marks for facilities, but looses a point on my scale for a lack of privacy and peace and quiet.
The campground is located about 15 minutes from the town of New Braunfels where you can find grocery stores, restaurants, banks, hardware stores and other entertainment. If you're looking for Texas BBQ, check out the Rudy's or Cooper's BBQ in New Braunfels. Also located within the town is the Schlitterbahn Waterpark which is I believe the largest waterpark in the US and has an incredible amout of fun rides, slides and pools. It's a bit pricey, but it is a full day of fun for the family.
Legend
This is a very small family operated campground. It offers basic RV and tent camping facilities and services. There are full hookup sites for RVs. There are tent camping sites with water and electrical hookups.
The main feature of this campground is that a number of the sites are right along the banks of the Guadalupe River. There is a little sidewalk and stairs that lead down to the water which makes it easy for families and kids of all ages to access the river.
During the winter, it is easy to reserves sites at this campground. During the summer, it is wise to reserve a site in advance. Any of the RV sites 1 to 30 are right along the river. Any of the tent sites 1 to 9 are along the river.
The campground does allow day access for $7/person.

GuideThis is a well maintained Jellystone park located in New Braunfels, TX. We have gone twice and had a blast each time. The splash pad and water slides open at 1200 and my 6 year old had a lot of fun on them during the summer. The bounce pad is very nice, The indoor pool is great in the summer, when we went in February the water wasn't nearly warm enough for my liking.
The sites are close together but many have large trees to help shade the area.

Camp Hueco Springs is owned by the same operators as the Double Rockin' R Campground. However, this campground has many more amenities. The campground is located near the town of New Braunfels along the River Road.
The main attraction of this campground is the easy access to the Guadalupe River.
The office/store has an abundance of supplies from groceries to firewood to fishing supplies. On one side of the campground there are primitive sites with only picnic tables. On the other side of the campground are pad sites for RVs with full water, electric and sewage hookups. There are restroom facilities near the campsites and a few pot-a-potties scattered around the grounds. Tent campers are allowed on the pad sites, but the fees are a little more and you will be surrounded by RVs. Down the road there is a store where you can rent cabins, inner tubes, canoes, kayaks and SUPs. There is something for everyone at this campground.
The best part about this campground is the easy access to the river. There are some campsites right on the bank of the river and others a short walk away under a grove of trees. Some of the campsites on the river do not have shade, so bring your own sun shade. One downside to this campground is that the campsites lie between the river and the road, so often you can hear road noise - bring some ear plugs. Also, this campground receives lots of visitors during the summer and fall so don't expect much privacy. Sometimes the restroom facilities are left a bit untidy.
In the winter this campground is often used as access point for fly fishermen seeking to land huge trout. In the summer, the water is sometimes low and slow moving which can limit water recreational activities. However, if you're there for the floating, paddling, fishing or just hanging out by the river this campground offers something for everyone.

During the summer, Texans flock to the rivers and lakes to enjoy the outdoors and keep cool. Near the town of New Braunfels there are a number of RV parks and campgrounds that can accommodate just about any need.
In the town of New Braunfels there is an HEB grocery store and Buc-ee's gas station to stock up on any supplies. If you've never stopped at a Buc-ee's gas station you should. Buc-ee's is a mega gas station, convenience store and road side attraction all in one. Their bathrooms are always super clean.
I was on a little fishing trip and decided to check out a few campgrounds in the area.
Landa RV park is a solid choice. The staff are super friendly and while it is a small campground, they offer nice amenities. At the entrance of the park there’s a admission office and small store. All the campsites have drive-up parking spaces, electricity, water and the picnic tables. There are some campsites that are located right along the river. I think site #506 is one of the best sties. There is a little premium on the price, but it is well worth it for quick access to the river. RVs are allowed to park at the camping sites along the river. However, there is also a designated RV lot with complete hook ups. There is a community space with some picnic tables. The restroom facilities are located near the RV lot. The facilities are modern and clean with flush toilets and shower stalls. They even have a laundry room on site. Next to the campground there are facilities to rent tubes if you want to float down the river. I actually came to this area to fly fish and I caught a number of small panfish. There are also bass and trout in the river.
Whether your visiting to fish, float or just relax this campground is a relaxing place to visit.
Guide
We stayed in one of their air-conditioned glamping cabins. It was very nice and clean and the AC stayed very cold. They have private, lockable, full bathrooms right behind the cabins. The place is very pretty and the staff friendly. We loved tubing and kayaking the San Marcos River! It’s a great getaway!
Traveler
nice big camp ground. they rent tubes, rafts and kayaks with shuttle service. nice clean big pool. has 58 full hookup sites also rental cabins. staff is very nice and helpful. located at bridge #3 on river road. showers and restrooms aren't bad. also free wifi and cable.

This state park is a little outside of Austin near the airport. The park stays busy and it’s easy to see why– it’s really nice with waterfalls you can check out in the park and it isn’t far from the airport. We had a great stay here and will definitely check it out again if in the area. Although– watch the branches if you are in a bigger rig– we watched a guy hit one and mess up his roof. Also, if you will be camping in Texas State Parks a bit be sure to get the annual Texas State Parks pass– it will end up saving you a lot of money! Also, we went to a nearby market to buy what we thought was salsa(see pictures)– it definitely wasn’t and it was sooo spicy!!
TravelerWe love this place! One great part is that the pads alternate directions, so you can camp with your friends (or with new friends) instead of with their sewer connections. They also have rules about flags so you really can get away from the pace of the world. Between the trees and the small fall crowd, it was soooo quiet. Everyone seemed to sleep in just a little. Those three tings make the whole place quite nice. The riverfront is great for lounging in the shade, and the cliff side of the river is gorgeous for staring off into space. They also have a nice pool, a clubhouse, some cabins, and more.
Guide
Stayed in a cabin at the resort a few years back it was awesome. Cabin had a patio, picnic table outside, and bar b q pit for outdoor cooking. Also there’s a small vintage town to explore with a ice cream shop! The kids had a blast. We rented a couple of kayaks and floated the river. There’s also a public pool right outside all of the cabins which was super nice.
Legend
We came here on a day trip and were very pleased with the park. It didn’t really feel like Texas as we walked through the almost tropical looking forest. We enjoyed the lake and rented a paddle boat. We decided next trip we would rent a canoe and head up the river. The park offers camping and cabin for overnight stays.
GuideBeen going here for a few years never really packed . Good for kayaking. There’s a lake and flowing river. Believe San Marcos river. One cabin available for rent
Scout
Very clean bathrooms. It has tents, small cabins, glamping, pull through rv and hybrid tent/rv spots. In all approximately 20 sites. Located just 2 miles from Perdnalles state park.
Scout
I usually don’t post reviews like this but I needed to for this place! The website is outdated and is false advertising, they don’t over everything listed on the site. we stayed here before it changed ownership. The cabins are not what they used to be, the website is not accurate. Over price cabins and now they look like they are from 1990 theme, so outdated looks like they got the furniture right out of the dumpsters. The new California owners don’t care about the park everything is broken, worn out, workers walks around smoking marijuana and walks up to you and the smell from the bearded guy is disgusting who lives in a shack there on site. They turned this once beautiful park into a dump hippie ground.
TravelerI absolutely love this place it has every type of camping ! Rv , tent no electric, tent with electric, cabins. All by the Guadalupe river. Floating, canoeing, Fishing. They even have a natural spring ! People who work here are professional and very nice. I will be coming back year after year.
