Guadalupe River State Park

- I’ll start with this. There is a drought so the water is off and the river is low. That probably influences my review a lot. (They discounted 50 percent so we decided to stay. Normally $24 plus entry.) - We had to drive to a friend’s house in San Antonio to shower. They had portapotties which was better than nothing for sure. - I... more

We've stayed here multiple times (tent and RV) so obviously we like it enough to return, but at the same time, I would rather go to South LLano SP, Garner SP, Blanco SP, or even the Kerrville-Schreiner city park. We were here midweek, during the school year, so it wasn't too bad but be advised this park regularly reaches capacity durin... more

We stayed here and visited friends in the area. It is a good state park and good option for visiting the San Antonio area. It definitely feels like an older state park but it suited our needs. There is a ton of nighttime wildlife, which will surprise you if you walk after dark. We ran into raccoons, armadillos, and other large rodents.... more

We stayed here in late February in the Turkey Sink loop. Our site was just long enough for our 28 foot trailer and truck. Many sites on the loop looked very short. This park was just ok for us. The river is nice, but it had been raining (not torrential downpours) and the trails to the river were closed. The SP office said the trails ge... more

The park itself is nice enough. $24/night for hookups sounded fine. We got in around 5pm, about 30 mins after the office closed. We didn’t have change but the ranger told us we could pay what we did have ($20) and then pay the rest in the morning. Apparently, EVERYONE entering the park has to pay $7pp regardless of camping or day use. ... more

We were here in the off season, so it wasn't so crowded. Very nice place, some great hiking trails and the river is cool to swim and float in. Shower house was very clean. Lots of stargazing at night. Beautiful place.

We have to travel to San Antonio at least once a year for the wifes business, rather than staying in an over priced hotel and sleeping in a bed that has been used by others for what ever we much prefer to take our travel trailer and set up camp at Guadalupe River State Park. During the summer is is always crowded with folks taking a ... more

Stayed here for 5 days during July 4th weekend. The staff was pleasant. The rangers patrolled constantly, which was good because it was crowded especially on the weekend. Our campground was spacious and shaded. some sites appear to be pretty tight. The hiking trails are pathetic. If you've hiked anywhere else in the Hill Country you ... more

There are 2 camping loops, Cedar Sage has smaller sites so it's primarily for tent campers. We stayed in Turkey Sink where the sites are nicely spaced with trees that provide some privacy. We happened to be here during spring break, so there were kids playing in the road making noise until 10p every night. It didn't bother us, since... more

...and we were asked to leave. But I didn't want to go. So we procrastinated. And then the ranger came around and said we could stay. We swapped stories about how much better TX state parks are than other states (like CA and WA), and I wholeheartedly agreed. Like most Texas State Parks, the spots were huge. Decent price for wat... more
