The $69 Deal
If you've been hunting for cheap glamping in Texas, this is it. It's one of the best glamping deals this weekend anywhere near the Hill Country.
A Perfect $69 Fall Weekend
Here's an easy Friday-to-Sunday plan for your San Marcos River glamping trip.
Friday: Arrive and Light the Fire
Roll in, drop your bags and claim a spot by the fire pit. Get the fire going, roast some hot dogs and finish strong with s'mores. Day one: done.
Saturday: Slow Down
Morning: Sleep in. Then take your coffee down by the river and watch the water drift by.
Midday: Stretch your legs with an easy riverside walk.
Afternoon: Start a card and board game marathon at your picnic table. Easy group picks:
- Uno for fast, loud, everyone-can-play fun
- Spades for partners and friendly trash talk
- Codenames for teams and big laughs
Evening: Fire up the barbecue pit for a big campfire dinner. Once it's dark, lie back and stargaze. Fall skies out here are hard to beat.
Sunday: Pancakes, Then Home
Flip a stack of pancakes, pack up slowly and head home refreshed. Monday won't know what hit it.
Bring the Crew
This is the perfect excuse for a friends' getaway or a double date. Each glamping cabin has 2 queen beds, so a couple of cabins fits the whole group.
Split a couple of cabins and the weekend costs less than a night out in Austin. Same people, better memories, way more s'mores. It's an easy fall getaway near Austin, about 45 minutes away.
