    "My family had a wonderful day! We were greeted with warm friendly smiles and enjoyed our two story cabana. We swam, floated and cooled off in the river. We grilled lunch on the exceptionally clean grill provided. Rested in the hammock. We can't wait to spend another day here!"

    Taci Netherton

    "We came for a quick getaway and were pleasantly surprised! The beach area has cabanas and covered tables and plenty of room to stretch out. The grounds were well kept and the service was quick and friendly."

    "This place was amazing. The water was beautiful and refreshing. Pay the extra for the unlimited tubing and kayaking — it's sooo worth it."

    Alberto Romero

    "Excellent place to take the family on a little camping trip. The river was cool and refreshing. Floated and also kayaked down the river. Sleeping arrangements are good and so are the restroom and shower trailers."

    Heather Collins

    "Son's Blue River Camp is tucked away — it's a nice escape. Tubing down the river was fun, a nice long lazy river. A good family or girls/guys weekend place to make memories at!"

    Melissa Milstead

    via Google

    "We came to stay for the day and would have stayed longer. The cabana we got was clean and in great condition. We fished, grilled out, and had a blast. Plenty of time to float the river twice."

    Group River Day Outs at Son's Blue River Camp

    Son's Blue River Camp is the go-to group river day trip in the Texas Hill Country. Family-owned and private — 8 acres of riverfront, 1.5 miles of clear spring-fed San Marcos River, and a team that handles Texas State fraternity socials, corporate team-building days, family reunions, church retreats, and bachelor/bachelorette parties every week all summer. Small groups book a private cabana direct. Groups of 31 or more get a custom rate with volume pricing, flexible arrival windows, and optional overnight add-ons.

    Our day rental cabanas and picnic tables include river access, BBQ grills, and covered seating for up to 15 guests — perfect for birthdays, family reunions, church groups, and corporate outings. Add the Ultimate River Fun Wristband for $29.99/person to enjoy unlimited tubing and kayaking on one of the most family-friendly rivers in Texas. Kids 3 and under are free, the river never runs dry, and the spring-fed water stays refreshingly cool even in the heat of summer.

    Want to extend your day into a full Hill Country getaway? Our glamping cabins, log cabins, and bell tents let you wake up steps from the water with all the comforts of home — air conditioning, real beds, fire pits, and full kitchens in select units. Curious about layout and amenities? Explore our interactive property map to see exactly where each cabana, cabin, and river access point sits along our private stretch of the San Marcos River.

    Why Groups Choose Son's

    Most river float operators on the Comal and Guadalupe aren't built for groups — the tubing is crowded, there's no private shoreline, and large parties get broken up. Son's Blue River Camp is different. You get a private cabana or block of cabanas, your own grill and seating, shaded hammock spots, unlimited tubing with shuttle, and 8 acres that don't fill up with strangers.

    Perfect for a GA day, a corporate offsite, or a no-stress family reunion. Overnight groups can add glamping cabins or bell tents and make a weekend of it on the same property.
