If you've searched for "safari tent glamping near Austin", what you actually want is a Safari Cabin — Son's River Ranch's air-conditioned, sleeps-9 cabin that's perfect for multi-family groups and friend trips.
What's inside
- 4 Full beds + a sleeping nook — comfortably sleeps 9
- Air conditioning (this is Texas — non-negotiable)
- Real beds, real bedding, real lighting
- Covered porch with seating
- Walk to the river + a short walk to the bathhouse
Who books a Safari Cabin
- Two families combining a trip — split the cost, double the kids
- Birthday and bachelorette groups who want the whole crew under one roof
- Friend reunions — easier than coordinating multiple cabins
- Couples who want extra room and don't mind the size (totally fine for 2)
The $99 weekday special (now through June 11th)
Safari Cabins are $99/night on weekdays through June 11th, 2026. Split between two families that's roughly $12-$14 per adult per night — cheaper than a tent at most state parks. See all current specials.
Add a cabana, kayak, and wristbands
Booking a Safari Cabin unlocks 25% off day-rental add-ons — a private cabana for shade, kayaks for the older kids, and Ultimate River Fun Wristbands for everyone. Add it all in the Book Now flow.
Glamping cabin vs. safari cabin
Glamping Cabins are smaller and cozier (better for one family of 4-5). Safari Cabins are the group-trip workhorse. Both are A/C, both are walkable to the river.
