Where the Locals Go to Enjoy the San Marcos River

Same crystal-clear, spring-fed San Marcos River — just 15 minutes downstream from downtown San Marcos. Reserved tent sites, fire pits, picnic tables, BBQ pits and 150 acres of private river-front to actually relax on, not the crowded city put-ins.

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.
