Trade I-35 gridlock for a cold river and a hammock. Son's Blue River Camp is the closest serious glamping property south of Austin — close enough to leave after work, far enough to actually reset.
You don't need a 5-hour drive to a national park to reset. Son's is the closest glamping property south of Austin where you get a real river, real cabins with AC, and a property small enough that it doesn't feel like a festival.
Door-to-door from downtown Austin — closer than most state parks.
The San Marcos River, not a city park or chlorinated pool.
Cabins, safari tents, and bell tents built to handle Texas heat.
A quiet family property, not a crowded commercial campground.
Four ways to glamp on the San Marcos River — all with real beds, linens, and riverfront access.
No packing the kitchen sink — show up with a swimsuit and we handle the rest.
The San Marcos River is spring-fed, flowing cool and clear all summer long, even in the harshest of droughts. Enjoy a gentle, relaxing float through beautiful cypress and pecan trees. Perfect for all ages. Tube or kayak as many times as you want with our unlimited wristband, and our friendly shuttles bring you right back to do it again.
Room to spread out. Your family won't feel packed in like sardines.
Float 1.5 miles without bumping into strangers. This isn't downtown New Braunfels.
AC cabins, clean bathrooms, shaded spots. Glamping means no suffering.
No rowdy party crowds. Just family and friend groups who respect each other.
Transparent pricing. Your cabin & cabana comes with grill, hammock, seating — no nickel-and-diming.
We own the put-in AND take-out. Hop on a tube or kayak and we'll handle the rest.

"A cool and comfortable glamping experience! We were thrilled to discover the Air Conditioned Luxury Glamping Cabin, and it did not disappoint. The AC worked great and kept the cabin refreshingly cool throughout our stay. The space was roomy enough for our family. The cabin came stocked with basic essentials — hot plate, blender, coffee maker, cookware, towels, and bed linens. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Highly recommend!"

"Our group of friends went glamping here for the first time with our families, and we absolutely loved it! What a find! The glamping tents are totally luxurious. Beds were cozy, A/C kept the room cool perfectly, nice clean floors, TV, microwave, fridge, electric stove, coffee maker with supplies, and plenty of space. Bathrooms were CLEAN. Showers were CLEAN. The staff was incredibly friendly. We came from Houston and can't wait to come back!"

"This place was amazing. Me and my husband spent the weekend there. The water was beautiful and refreshing. River dog was the sweetest. We stayed in a glamping tent. Stayed very cool the entire stay. The shower and bathrooms were pretty clean. All in all this was a great get away. Pay the extra for the unlimited tubing and kayaking — it's sooo worth it."

"Very nice, comfortable tent with AC, a stove, fridge, microwave, and a television. The shower facilities were great. Floated the river — still had fun. Stayed for 3 days and 5-star service. Oh, huge fire pit by the front door."

"So glad we stayed! Best camping/glamping experience! We can't wait to go back. Update — second summer camping here and still love it. Our new favorite thing is the river dog. She is so sweet and checks on the kids. We joke she is the camp counselor keeping an eye on things."

"Me and my family had a beautiful time here. We came with 3 other families and got 2 glamping tents, a bell tent, and a set-up-your-own tent so I was able to enjoy the entire facility. The bathrooms were exceptional for the environment — plenty of showers and no lines. I have 5 kids 6 months to 9 years and they loved every minute, especially the pond with ducks. Already planning another trip!"
