We spent the weekend camping here and had lots of fun. The trails were nice and the bathrooms were always clean. It was very quiet at night. We can’t wait to come back.

What a great park! We walked along the river and saw several birds and flowers. The discovery center was closed but looked neat.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Thomas Fackler | Nov 3, 2018

If you are planning to stay overnight a reservation will guarantee a spot to sleep, but you can just show up and hope the grounds aren't full. If you're not planning to spend the night you can go anytime, but the earlier you're there the better the parking.

cedric turner | Nov 3, 2017
Steven Waling (Budo no Seishin Tanren) | Nov 3, 2017

Fishing in any state park is free and does not require a fishing license. At this park, up river from the swim area is where I've caught catfish, pan fish, & fairly small bass... down below the cascading rapids is decent fly fishing

So. Can you access to the river right from your campsite? I'm a lil confused.

amy alv | Nov 2, 2021
Zeke Chavez | Nov 2, 2021

No. Some tent camping spots are a very close walk to the river, but most campsites are a little further away. When we were camping there we packed a picnic and drove down to the river access area, There are many picnic tables available and you can also set up right next to the river.

jimmy cabay | Nov 3, 2019
Cynthia Munoz | Nov 3, 2019

There are pits with picnic tables. However the burn ban effects charcoal and wood grills. The park ranger told us only gas or propane grills can be used since there's no embers that fly away which could lead to fire.

Do we need fishing license

jose ganceres | Nov 3, 2018
Gabe Callaway | Nov 3, 2018

Yes and No, you can fish in Texas state parks without a license. I'd recommend reading the exact guidelines on texas parks and wildlife site. Tpwd.texas.gov To be clear the guidelines state it is legal to fish in state parks FROM the bank only without a license. That implies that fishing from a kayak or other vessel would not be legal w/o license

Brittany Ard | Nov 3, 2018
Dante Carlinos | Nov 3, 2018

Anytime around the fourth is camping mahem. Some people book 6 months in advance. Availability is nil any where near the Guadalupe River. The closest you will find is at Cascade Caverns next to Boerne. Theirs is a first come first serve basis. However space is abundant. They have a huge tent camping area that is never packed.

Can you fish there and do we need a fishing license?

Jarvis Plair | Nov 3, 2018
Dante Carlinos | Nov 3, 2018

Wrong Jose. To fish in the waters that cross property of, or directly adjacent to, a Texas State Park you do not need a State of Texas fixing license. That is of course if you paid admission to said state park. Waters involved with adjacency to a state park, you must be fishing from state park property and not in the waters. Being in a boat next to or near state park property still requires a fishing license. These rules were established with our 2013 state legislature.

gabriella martinez | Nov 2, 2020
Jackie Keefer | Nov 2, 2020

We brought our bikes. It's a distance from showers, park store, etc. Doable walking, riding or driving though if you enjoy the outdoors as much as we do. There's walk-in campsites with just community shared water close to the river that's pretty. More privacy sites with water/electricity/big tent pads close to the trails. There's really nice parking lots close to the Discovery center that has a scenic view for floating the Guadalupe and picnicking so you can choose your camp for the best preferences to meet your needs/wants when you call to make a reservation (they know the great spots to recommend lol) and just park and float until contentment is achieved!

Depending on how busy the park is on the day of your arrival I would suggest getting a reservation. If the park is too busy and if you don't have a reservation the park will close to visitors unless you have a reservation.

Stevy Garcia | Nov 3, 2018
Dante Carlinos | Nov 3, 2018

Adults are 8 and under 13 is 5. If you go, you must take your own water. There is no potable (drinkable, bath-able, skin expose-able) in the park until further notice. Only toilets have access to water until drought ends and aquifer is replenished. No sinks. No faucets. No water connections to R.V.s of any sort. This park is supplied usable water from area wells. Those have gone dry or in high alkaline bed bases and not for human consumption.

Where's the best spot to fish there for tomorrow

Shawn Buckwalter | Nov 3, 2018
Dante Carlinos | Nov 3, 2018

Though that is the best place to fish, don't expect to catch much if any thing. The up river levels are very low causing the pH of the water to be dramatic high. The fish will not be biting and I personally would not swim in the river. Plus there is no potable (drinkable) water in the park due to plumbing difficulty of the upgrades in the park. Go to Blanco S.P. instead. The fishing should be awesome there. Water levels are maintained better there and will be less crowded. You would never find me in the Guadalupe River State Park during this week, ?Memorial Day, or Labor day. Just not worth it.
