What to do
River activities on the Guadalupe: At Camp Huaco Springs campers have direct access to the Guadalupe River. "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," notes Troy W.
Paddle sports in calm waters: Son's Island offers private docks for water activities. "Each cabana comes with its own private dock, lots of comfortable seating, electricity, water, BBQ pit, picnic table and hammock," reports Karin R. after staying in one of their glamping tents.
Fishing opportunities: The local waterways support various fish species for anglers. "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," shares Troy W. about his experience at one local campground.
Unique habitat exploration: The swamp-like environment at Palmetto State Park Campground offers distinctive flora. "Palmetto is a neat micro climate in the middle of central Texas. There are palmetto plants everywhere," explains Chelsea O., highlighting the unusual vegetation that differs from typical Texas landscapes.

What you should know
Seasonal crowds: Weekends and summer months bring significantly more visitors. Troy W. observes, "During the week this campground is typically not too busy. On the weekends is when the crowds arrive. Likewise, in the winter the number of campers is limited."
Noise considerations: Road noise affects some camping locations. Michael C. notes at one campground, "Only drawback is the park is long and narrow, the access road is right beside the camp sights. Lots of motorcycle traffic at all hours."
