# Cabana vs Picnic Table on the Guadalupe — Which Should You Book?

Both are riverside, both are private to your group, both start at $69. Here's the honest difference so you book the right one.

![Private riverside cabana at Son's Guadalupe](/assets/whats-included-TbVsh_aG.jpg)

## Private Cabana

Your own shaded basecamp on the bank. Picnic table, charcoal grill, ceiling fans, ample room for a bigger group, and the float ends right here.

[See cabanas](/cabanas)

![In-water covered picnic table on the Guadalupe River](/assets/clear-river-CCstt2sC.jpg)

## In-Water Picnic Table

A covered picnic table that literally sits _in_ the river. Eat with your feet in the water. Best for groups of up to 6 who want river contact while they eat.
