Within Guadalupe River State Park, Wagon Ford Walk-In Area provides primitive tent camping just steps from the Guadalupe River. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department manages this small walk-in section where campers carry gear a short distance from the parking area to designated tent pads. The sites sit in a small cul-de-sac arrangement directly beside the river, with the constant sound of flowing water.
Clean restrooms with running water are located nearby, and the area connects to park hiking trails. Sites lack privacy as some tent pads sit directly on the walking path to other camping areas. River access requires a short walk past the parking lot, though some sites have steep unofficial trails leading down to the water. The $15 nightly rate includes access to park amenities, and campers can explore additional places to camp around Guadalupe River State Park throughout the broader park system.
