Memorial Day Weekend on the Guadalupe River
Where to park, when to arrive, and how to skip the crowds — the practical guide to Memorial Day weekend at Son's Guadalupe near New Braunfels.
Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer on the Guadalupe River. Public access points (Hueco Springs, the Second Crossing, Guadalupe River State Park) hit capacity by mid-morning. River Road backs up. Tubing-outfitter shuttle lines stretch across parking lots.
Son's Guadalupe is built around skipping that. We cap daily capacity, every cabana includes its own parking spot, and tubing floats end right at your private cabana — no shuttle lines, no long walks. Here's how to plan your weekend.
