San Antonio glamping doesn't have to mean a four-hour drive to the Frio. The Kingsbury stretch of the San Marcos River sits about 50 minutes north of downtown SA — close enough for a Friday-evening check-in, far enough to feel like you actually left town.
From Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, Schertz, or Cibolo, the drive up I-35 to FM-1104 is short and predictable. You arrive to a real river, not a stocked pond.
Three Glamping Styles, One Property
Safari cabins sleep families with full AC and queen beds. Log cabins sleep groups with kitchens. Bell tents are the budget glamping option with shaded riverfront sites.
Why San Antonio Locals Pick the San Marcos
The Comal in New Braunfels is short and crowded. The Guadalupe is dam-released and unpredictable. The San Marcos is spring-fed, 72° year-round, and has a long, calm float perfect for families.
