Tent Camping on the San Marcos River

Bring your own tent, light a fire, and fall asleep to the river — just 45 minutes from Austin & San Antonio

Real Camping. Real River. Real Affordable.

Pitch your tent on the spring-fed San Marcos River for as little as $29/night. Every campsite at Son's River Ranch comes with electric hookups, a fire pit, BBQ grill, and picnic table — plus restroom trailers nearby and walk-to-river access on 150 private acres of Texas Hill Country. Small rapids, no dams, and the gentle current of a 72°F spring-fed river right outside your tent.

Don't want to set up a tent? Upgrade to a Bell Tent, Glamping Cabin, or Safari Cabin — same river, same fire pit vibe, with real beds and A/C waiting for you when you arrive.

Pitch your tent on a spacious, family-friendly site with electric hookups, your own fire pit, picnic table, and BBQ grill. Restroom trailers are a short walk away, and the spring-fed San Marcos River — small rapids, no dams, 72°F year-round — is just steps from your campsite. 150 private acres of Texas Hill Country, no crowds, no chaos.
