I have been floating the river a long time. It is one of my favorite things to do. Last year was the first year I went on a holiday however---we went on the 4th of July and stayed at Rockin R by the 1st crossing. I do not recommend floating from there EVER. We experienced so many rapids, it was... more

Our family met some friends there for memorial day weekend. We stayed at the Lazy L&L Campground and Rentals. It was a great facility the rentals were the same as others and the campground was $25 a night. Campground was newly updated. BUT>>>>>> They have an overflow where anyone/any number of people can stay. My kids saw things you see... more

I have been toobing the Guadalupe River for 30 years and still look forward to our Memorial Day vacations on the river. This year the river was low, not much rain here in central Texas, but that's ok. We camped on the river and drove into New Braunfels for a day at the Schlitterbaun, which but the way is a... more

We enjoyed a family rafting trip on the river with Gruene River Co. which is located across the street from Rockin R in Gruene. We chose them because they offer the exact same services, but rates are much lower, especially on weekdays with the 20% off coupon on their website www.toobing.com. We chose a raft because it was our first... more

We have canoed and tubed the G. River and I must say that canoeing was much much more fun. The Guadalupe River and Livery is a family owned business off Hwy 281 with great prices and a great locaiton. It felt like we were the only ones on the river... tubing is a different story. more

We went to the river 3 times last year. The first time we stayed at Lazy L & L. I was not impressed. The camp sites were very small, the place was over priced, and the staff weren't very friendly. We'll never stay there again. The next 2 times we stayed at KL Ranch Camp. We were impressed. The camp... more

We were picked up by Stacey at the Maricopa Yogi Bear motel. We tubed for 6 hours, we called them to come pick us up, and they took us and our stuff right back to our room. We bareley had to walk, thank God. For safety reasons, this is the way to go. No DRIVING, NO LONG WALKS, and i... more

Hello everyone! We went river tubing last summer on the Guadalupe River in Canyon Lake, Texas. We had an absolute blast! We went to a special area on the Guadalupe River called the "Horseshoe Loop". The reason this section of the Guadalupe has become such a favorite place to go is because, as the name implies, it is a horseshoe... more

My family and I stayed at the Treetops cottage in celebration of my college graduation May 13-May 15, 2005. The cottage is beautiful and sits near the bank of the Guadalupe River. The inside of the cottage had everything a family might need including spacious bathrooms and bedrooms. Also included were kitchen appliances, a washer/dryer unit, and even satellite TV.... more

This a beautiful little cottage on stilts, however when we arrived the grass was very tall and there was so much trash by the river it could not be used. Fortunately someone, not the management, because she became very mad when we called to see if they could have someone mow the premises and pick up some of the trash,... more
