Enjoy the Texas Hill Country

This is a well-run campsite located on over 30 acres and it has about a mile of riverfront on this really choice stretch of the Guad. It is located at the 1st crossing bridge on River Road outside of New Braunfels and you will need to get here early because it is a very popular campground and day use area.  If you get here early you should be able to find a nice spot for swimming or wading.  The reach of the river adjacent to the campground contains Huaco Rapids and Slumber Falls – two of the most fun areas on the Lower Guadalupe to watch tubers take a spill. Folks have been coming here for decades to watch college students experience their first ender or backflip while tubing on the river – hey, what the, where’d the beer go? You can also do some swimming here, but be careful not to be swept downriver to the falls and rapids. Trout could be available during the season as a result of TPWD’s stocking program. Cabins and RV sites are available and there is an onsite store. You also can make arrangements here to rent tubes and rafts. At the furthest part of the campground located upstream you could put in the kayaks for a 6 mile paddle down this pretty stretch of the river to Cypress Bend Park, but you should know that as long as the water is flowing at less than 1,000 cfs there could be lots of tubes in the river. If you do put in the kayaks up by the crossing that will allow you to paddle through Huaco and Slumber — be careful. If you will be tubing down this stretch be sure to ask the folks at the office for some tips about how to avoid getting smashed and thrown from your tube at the rapids.
