    Son’s Blue River Camp

    Our Family loves Son’s River Camp!

    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!

    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

    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.

    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 River Ranch

    Our favorite River property!

    We loved everything about Son’s River Ranch! The staff is great, the place was very clean and we had a blast! Our glamping cabin was nice, it was well worth the money to not to have to set up a tent and do all that work. Plus the AC kept us very cold and comfortable at night and the kitchenette had everything we needed to cook and make meals. We rented a cabana for the day too and it was fun to hang out and relax by the river and BBQ. The next day we tubed and kayaked. They have a wristband you can buy for the day that is good for unlimited kayaking and tubing, we did both! The trip took about 2 hours by tube and an hour by kayak. They have shuttles to bring you back up to River Ranch when you are done. I highly recommend this place!

    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.

    Cranes Mill Park

    Nice Spot for a weekend

    Nice small campground a bit off the beaten path. Our tent site was surrounded by a low pipe fence. We parked in our designated parking spot (2 vehicles allowed) and had to walk about 30 yards to our site. It wasn’t horrible but the fence meant we couldn’t roll from the car straight there. We had a beautiful view of the lake! I loved the covered table and surrounding pad. Nice fire pit.  I also liked that we saw the sheriff and a host drive through the campground a few times. The bathhouse was functional but poorly maintained. It would have benefited from a daily sweep and counter wipe down at minimum. There was one bathhouse for the whole campground so it is a fairly long walk from the peninsula end to the toilet. A bike would be a good accessory. The boat ramp was closed and gated on our trip we weren’t sure why. This was disappointing because we weren’t able to get our kayaks in the water. I’m not sure if the closure is temporary.


Guide to Windcrest

Windcrest, Texas sits at approximately 840 feet above sea level in the northern portion of Bexar County, with average summer temperatures reaching 95°F. The area experiences hot, humid summers and mild winters, making camping possible year-round with proper preparation. Weather conditions can change rapidly during spring and fall months.

What to do

Explore dinosaur tracks: Visit Government Canyon State Natural Area to see prehistoric dinosaur footprints preserved in the creek bed. "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.

Fish in stocked ponds: Canyon Lake offers excellent fishing opportunities with minimal effort required. At Cranes Mill Park, the pond is heavily stocked for easy catches. "The pond is stocked full with bass and bluegill and you can catch 10 fish in 10 minutes," according to Tripler S.

Hike trail systems: The region features various hiking trail networks with different difficulty levels. Government Canyon has both front and back country trails. "Trails are extensive and rocky. Good views. Beware of trail closures when it rains," advises Emily M. Some trails close seasonally or after rainfall to protect natural resources.

What campers like

Level camping pads: Campsites at Stone Creek RV Park provide convenient and accessible options for various camping styles. "Got there on a Sunday and there is a gun range close, you can hear the shooting but stop before night. Nice jacuzzi and swimming pool. Very nice large and small dog parks. Sites are not well level but most of them have a gazebo," shares Reynolds O.

Proximity to water: Direct waterfront access ranks high among camper preferences. "Great location along I35. Park has asphalt streets, but gravel sites. Mix of pull through & back in sites. Some sites have a small picnic shelter on a concrete pad," notes Terri W. at Stone Creek RV Park.

Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathrooms and amenities consistently receive positive mentions. At Potters Creek Park, campers appreciate the cleanliness: "Nice large sites with covered picnic tables, a fire ring, and a grill. The sites along the lake front do not have trees for shade but the ones in the back row have nice trees," reports Laura F.

What you should know

Reservation timing: Most campgrounds near Windcrest require advance booking, especially during peak seasons from March through October. For popular yurt camping options at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort: Canyon Lake, plan ahead. "Make reservations months in advance. Overall great park," advises Chris C.

RV age restrictions: Some RV parks have strict requirements about the age of vehicles. Hill Country RV Resort & Cottage Rentals specifies that "RV must be less than 10 years old" according to Erika K.

Seasonal closures: Government Canyon State Natural Area operates on a limited schedule. "It is only open Friday-Monday with camping only Friday and Saturday night," notes Brian V. After heavy rains, many trails close to prevent erosion and damage.

Noise factors: Location-specific noise should be considered when selecting campsites. At Stone Creek RV Park, "Located next to a horse lot with several horses so the odor is strong. Park sits next to heavily used railroad tracks, frequent train whistles at all hours," reports Terri W.

Tips for camping with families

Yurt camping options: Windcrest area yurt accommodations provide comfort for family camping trips. "Great for kids. Big pool and small water park. Very family friendly. Only Con is it is an older park and kind of hard to maneuver larger rigs in the park," mentions Chris C. about Jellystone Park at Canyon Lake.

Kid-friendly activities: Select campgrounds with dedicated children's areas. "This place is a kids heaven. Water park is a parents heaven, see the kids from just about anywhere within the park. i.e. relax parents at the table. Have an adult conversation for once," says Tyler about Jellystone.

Safety considerations: Some campgrounds provide extra security measures for families. At Camp Huaco Springs, families appreciate the support: "I let the office know it was just us ladies and they surveyed the area to see how many folks were staying in the area to make me feel more at ease. One of the ladies also let me know where she stays, in case we need anything at night," explains Stephanie G.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Choose campsites strategically based on shade and access needs. "We stayed in site 66 right on the water. There are great spots everywhere you turn. The bathrooms were very clean and the staff was very helpful. Boat ramp was easily accessible," advises Tim M. about Potters Creek Park.

Arrival timing: Several RVers recommend arriving early, especially during busy periods. "Super easy to get to off i35 between New Braunfels and San Antonio. The park is nice but could use some updating. The daily sites are up front and those are kept up," notes Mia D. about Stone Creek RV Park.

Amenities to expect: Most RV parks near Windcrest offer full hookups but vary in additional features. "Full hookups with all utilities working as expected. Friendly, attentive staff. Nice, clean laundry room with new machines. Wifi is unsecured & so slow it's useless," reports Terri W. about Stone Creek RV Park.
