A few simple guidelines to ensure everyone has a great time.
Daytime cabana rentals run from 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM. We recommend arriving early to maximize your river time!
Each cabana accommodates up to 12 guests comfortably. For larger groups, you can book multiple adjacent cabanas. Entry for 8 is included with cabana rental. You can pay for additional people and parking at time of booking or on site when you arrive.
Outside tubes are not allowed on the property, but we have tube rentals available for purchase. This helps us maintain the quality and safety of equipment on the river.
Food is not included, but each cabana has a charcoal grill and picnic tables. Bring your own food and drinks — just no glass containers allowed.
Yes, you may bring your own alcohol, but remember no glass or styrofoam on the river. Management reserves the right to remove guests whose intoxication interferes with the safety or comfort of others.
No, we love dogs but do not allow them on property. We want everyone to have a fun and relaxing time. I'm sure your dog is great but someone else's dog barking all night and keeping whole campground awake at night or being aggressive towards others is why we do not allow them.
Light rain doesn't stop the fun! If there's severe weather (lightning, flash flooding), we'll work with you on rescheduling or provide a full or partial refund. See our cancellation policy for details.
Summer weekends fill up fast — only 21 cabanas available. Book now to secure your perfect spot on the Guadalupe.

"Grill under the shade of a cabana, then float the river — exactly what we needed."
Our first trip to Son's Guadalupe and it was great! We went with a group of friends and a toddler. Being able to grill under the shade of a cabana and then take some time to float the river was just what we all needed. I highly recommend taking a visit to cool off this summer! Oh, and don't forget your water shoes for the river — they are a must!
"The cabanas have faucets, plugs, fans with light. Grills and firepits for everyone."
On-site manager loves her job and is ready within seconds with any questions or concerns. Very friendly. Glamping tents were awesome. The location on the river has enough shade and shallow areas to relax in. The cabanas have faucets, plugs, fans with light. Grills and firepits for everyone to enjoy. Will definitely return and recommend to friends and family.
