Glamping
Location was very nice , with lots of parking a trees for shade . It’s a short walk to the river and there is plenty of space for setting up . The river was kinda low and not so cool maybe like pool temp water . The tent was nice a cool during the day and night got very cold . Only complaint about the tent was there was several dead bugs that we had to clean up . But over all very nice

About the host

Hosted by Karin Rettele

Host profile image
My name is Karin Rettele. I am a professional property manager, wife and Mom of four.

I was born and raised in this area and grew up floating the river, going to the nearby lakes, catching concerts at Gruene Hall and White Water Amphitheater. There are plenty of exciting attractions including Schlitterbahn and many other fun activities in this area!

I love going out to eat and trying new places with my Husband Jesse. I can recommend places to eat and exciting, fun places to visit. My main focus is to make sure your cabin is clean and your stay with us is comfortable and convenient! Please let us know if you need anything.

Why they chose this property

Son's Blue River Camp is located on the gorgeous and family friendly San Marcos River near Fentress, TX! This part of the river is ideal for tubing as there are no dangerous dams or rapids and the river flows at a nice pace allowing you to float with little to no paddling!

This section of the River is also ideal for families. You won't find the college scene here. Instead, floaters will find a beautiful blue river, outlined with majestic cypress and pecan trees which creates a peaceful, relaxing and enjoyable float. And since the San Marcos River is spring-fed, the river flows nice all summer long and doesn't dry up or slow down like the Guadalupe and Frio Rivers often do.

Son's River Ranch is located 2 miles up river and is our tubing/kayaking take out. We have shuttles that run between the 2 properties everyday in the summer, on most weekends in the spring and fall and by reservation in the winter. Tubing and kayaking is a must if you come to Son's Blue River Camp

What makes this property unique

The fishing is excellent! You will routinely see Fly Fishing Guides guide trips from Fentress to our takeout. Anglers try thee hand at catching small mouth, large mouth, sunporch, catfish and more!

We have some of the best BBQ in the state in the local town nearby. Be sure to try City Market in Luling and Smitty's in Lockhart when you come! It's finger-licking good!

We are surrounded by large farms and ranches. It’s peaceful and relaxing and the stars shine bright at night! There is so much fun to be had and things to do on the San Marcos River and Son’s Blue River Camp!

The property is only 30 miles from all the exciting attractions of New Braunfels and Gruene including: Schlitterbahn Water Park, Gruene Dance Hall, Son’s Island and much more. The exciting town of San Marcos with its great restaurants, shopping and night life is only 16 miles away. San Antonio is an approximate 50-minute drive and Downtown Austin is only a quick 30 minutes driving down the new
85 MPH I-130. The town of Lockhart and Luling are nearby and have some of Texas’ best BBQ!
