Multiple cabin options line the Guadalupe River near New Braunfels, offering proximity to water recreation with varying levels of amenities. Camp Huaco Springs provides riverside cabins with electrical hookups and access to shared bathroom facilities and showers. Lazy L & L Campground features cabin rentals suitable for families looking for accommodation beyond tent camping, while still maintaining a camping atmosphere. Jellystone Park at Canyon Lake offers more extensive cabin amenities with full bathrooms, kitchenettes, and air conditioning in many units. According to one visitor, "The cabins are a very basic camp site. There are power outlets at these walk in camp sites. When I say walk in, I mean that you park and then walk about 10 yards to your site."
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Mountain Breeze Campground provides more basic cabin options while Summit Vacation Resort offers more furnished accommodations with amenities like air conditioning and private bathrooms. Rio Guadalupe Resort & RV Park cabins accommodate pets for those traveling with animals. Reservations are essential during summer months and holiday weekends when riverside cabins book quickly. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, "Beautiful tree lined park with lots of shade, sun and water" makes the cabin experience particularly appealing during hot Texas summers.
Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties, from bare-bones setups with just a microwave to fully equipped kitchens in premium cabins. On-site camp stores at locations like Camp Huaco Springs stock basic supplies, though larger grocery needs require a trip to New Braunfels where HEB grocery stores provide comprehensive options. Many cabin campgrounds include picnic tables outside each unit, allowing for outdoor dining regardless of the interior amenities. Ice, firewood, and basic camping supplies can typically be purchased at campground offices or nearby convenience stores.

Quiet, yet close to San Antonio. It’s only a few miles of I35, but feels like you’re out in the country. Mostly longer term stayers (we’re here for a few months), but they do a very nice job of keeping the campground feel instead of the trailer park vibe. Nice dog area and walking also. Quite happy.

Avoid Campsite 20
Negatives
* campsite 20 is never dark being too close to the bright bathroom lights.
* if two people are showering at the same time you will have no toilet access until one of them is done
Disappointing
* Many people described this as a peaceful park. We had the great misfortune to be there at the same time two families were using the campground as a pseduo-backyard complete with lighting, a full sized propane grill, and hours of loud party music
Pros
* an easy drive from Austin
* so much lovely shade
* great for hammock camping (be sure to protect the lovely trees
Next time I might try camping deeper into the park and hope to find folks forest bathing rather than partying. I generally prefer a shorter walk to the bathrooms, but I moreso prefer to listen to the crickets and look at the stars.

BEDBUGS in the cabins
BEDBUGS. I had a terrible stay at Son’s Blue River Camp. There are bedbugs in the log cabin. I had to pack up and leave the cabin in the middle of the night to find a hotel. I have video evidence of the bedbugs in the bed and I was bitten multiple times. I also believe they were aware there were bedbugs on the property and passed it off as a simple “maintenance issue”.
In addition to this huge problem, they are also unorganized. The staff didn’t properly inform me about changes to my reservation. I was sent a last minute email with vital information that they should have confirmed with me via phone call or text.
They also allowed me to buy a tubing/kayaking/shuttle wristband during my reservation. When I spoke to an employee on the phone about the problems with the property, she informed me that they were not even operating the shuttle/tubing during the week because it was “off season”.
I tried emailing the property as soon as this happened and did not get a response. I also called twice to speak to the manager about it. The manager, Rachel, never called me back. Do not stay at Son’ Blue River Camp.
It was a 0/10 experience.

Scam artist!
I recently visited this campground on July 3rd and when I got to the gate to discuss accessing the campground to meet up with a cousin who had reserved a spot I was greeted by a old Caucasian man who came off a little rude. I asked if they provide a military discount since I am in fact a disabled veteran and his response was no. Then I asked if I can just pay for a daily pass since I was only going to be there that evening and half the day the next day being the 4th of July and his response was no I can only purchase a 3 day pass at$12 per adult. Well I ended having to pay$99.62 to gain access to this campground and if you do the math 2 adults at$12 a person for 3 days does not equal$99.62. This place is a scam and take advantage of disabled military veterans! I would give this place a negative number of stars if there was that option!

We didnt experience the campsites as this was a stop on the 6 hour route trip back to East Texas.
We did roam the grounds and check it out. Campsites and Tolietries looked upkept. Standard sites for State Parks. Had a more urban vibe to it but thats likely it was near the city of austin.
When we went to night explore b4 leaving there were two sets of couples leaving. One in a austin vibe van ;).
We ended up having the location all to ourselves and got some cool clips for the brief stop.

Not impressed
Wasn't impressed with this campground after pulling in my 32' RV. There's nowhere to park with my F-250 super duty. I went to take a shower. There was only one shower the other one was broken and it didn't have any hot water. A sign on the door said no hot water. Had to take a freezing cold one. Come on Texas. You can't afford a plumber and a hot water heater?

Enjoyed my stay both times
I've camped there twice in the spring of 2026 and enjoyed my stay. Both times camped in the primitive sites which are located in the back along a single lane dirt road / trail. You can get a car to each site, but it can be narrow at spots. The sites only have a fire ring and a kinda level spot to pitch a tent. No water or electric and the Wi-Fi does not reach to this part of the property. AT&T cell coverage is also very weak in this area. Everything works great if you walk up to the community area. The kitchen area is great, the 4 shower rooms are clean with hot water and is your private bath when you use it. I tent camped off my motorcycle and the other time was rainy so I car camped out of my 4Runner. A short walk to the front of the property got me Wi-Fi, cellular, kitchen, bathroom, and chairs to hang out in. The sites at the front are much more expensive, so I enjoyed the lower priced primitive sites.

Cabins along the Guadalupe River near New Braunfels range from basic structures to fully-equipped units with kitchens. The region experiences hot summers with temperatures often exceeding 95°F from June through August, making water access particularly valuable. Winter nights can drop below freezing during December through February, when cabin heating becomes essential.
What to do
Tube rentals with shuttle service: At Rio Guadalupe Resort & RV Park, visitors can rent tubes, rafts and kayaks with convenient shuttle service. "They rent tubes, rafts and kayaks with shuttle service. Nice clean big pool," notes Mike B.
Outdoor recreation beyond the river: Mystic Quarry offers activities when you need a break from water recreation. "Lots to do. Disc golf, swimming, lounging. They have a dog wash. Hammocks, showers," according to Jesse S. The property includes bocce ball courts, hiking trails and a dog park.

What campers like
River views from cabins: At Camp Huaco Springs, the proximity to water is a major draw. "I 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," shares Sara R.
Central location for multiple attractions: Cabins position visitors strategically between water recreation and other activities. "Close to tubing, marina, dam and hiking spots," reports Karen B. about staying at Lazy L & L Campground.
Natural wildlife viewing: Several cabin properties offer opportunities to observe local wildlife. "We stayed RIGHT next to the HCH and had no noise problems whatsoever," notes Ashley C. about Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Canyon Lake, where deer sightings are common.
What you should know
Site selection matters: At Lazy L & L Campground, the layout provides varying experiences. "We liked that it was a huge campground and there was enough space to park. The other campgrounds we passed along the road were extremely packed," notes Nora C.
Noise considerations: Several cabin properties have noise factors to consider. "Bottom line, beautiful park. Good facilities, nice camp store, the River is RIGHT THERE. I would give this place 5 stars except due to the location next to the river, the country road runs right next to the camp grounds. Lots of noisy motorcycle traffic all night," explains Michael C.
Water access challenges: Not all river access is equally convenient. "There is no safe river access. You must hike down to river but soo worth it when u make it down," reports Kelly T. about Rio Guadalupe Resort. Some properties require walking down stairs or steep paths to reach water.
Tips for camping with families
Water amenities for children: Summit Vacation Resort offers multiple water options beyond just the river. "We've stayed here 3 times now and each experience has been amazing! It's quiet, lots of things for the kids to do like swimming, miniature golf, basketball, tennis, etc," shares Eli D.
Age-appropriate activities: Consider the age of children when selecting a property. "I would say the optimal age for that carnival was between 4 and 7 years old," notes Ashley C. about weekend activities at Jellystone Park.
Shade importance: During hot months, tree cover makes a significant difference. "The upper loop also has trees which really helped with the August heat," shares Sheila C. about Potter's Creek Park, which provides relief during peak summer temperatures.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling considerations: Some older properties require extra attention for RV parking. "Only Con is it is an older park and kind of hard to maneuver larger rigs in the park. Some of the pull thrus are kinda tight," advises Chris C. about Jellystone Park.
RV site arrangement: At Rio Guadalupe Resort, the layout creates social opportunities. "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," Simon N. explains.
Tree clearance for larger vehicles: For those with tall RVs, low-hanging branches can be problematic. "If you have a huge camper I would use caution. The roads getting in and out of the place have restrictions and the trees hang very low on the narrow roads. Not meant for more than double axle," cautions C&J F. about Lazy L & L Campground.
