"Shallow clean river, families with children, relaxed atmosphere. We just rented the tents by the river. It's worth visiting. Not too far from Katy, TX. We are planning to come back."

"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."

"My friends and I spent a night here which was great. 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!"

"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. I have 5 kids 6 months–9 years and they loved every minute. Already planning another trip!"
