We drove up from San Antonio to check out the park and go swimming. It's not a large park, as others have said, but it's still a great place to go! Extremely clean. It's wonderful for families, especially swimming at the dam. We brought a picnic lunch and spent hours swimming. I highly recommend water shoes-it was slippery walking on... More 

Beautiful waters, waterfall, swimming hole and giant cyprus trees. Wonderful way to spend a relaxing day. Unfortunately we were on a schedule, but in 2 hours, squeeze in a dip in the river. Didn't want to leave.

Located directly off Rt. 281, Main Street, south of Blanco. Greeted with enthusiasm from entry park rangers. Drive in, plenty of parking and jump in to cool, refreshing, CLEAN, beautiful river. Arrive early and bring your tube or raft for floating. We found guests to be respectful and friendly, people of all ages. Enjoy a true day of relaxing, then... More

We were able to park and put our tubes in and float the day. We were a bit face from the falls so we mainly had the whole end of the river to ourselves.... More 

This is right off of 281 headed to San Antonio. We always enjoy stopping for a bit to play in the pools and waterfall. But just be careful bc it's awefully slippery in the water

Spent a day and wished it was longer. This is definitely a family fun outing. The river is directed into waterfalls and pools. Swimmers and non swimmers alike can enjoy the water. Luckily we arrived just in time for an educational talk and walk to learn about the turtles in the area. Also learned that the Ranger Station loans backpacks... More

The camping sites are well maintained and bathroom facilities are nice compared to many camping experiences. The park host takes her duties VERY seriously and will be very prompt in letting you know where you've crossed a line. Quiet... More 

Had some free time on Sunday and it was hot...went looking for a swimming hole to visit and came across Blano State Park. The park is situated on both sides of the Blanco River, at the edge of the little town of Blanco. The park is managed by Texas Parks & Wildlife so you're required to stop and pay a... More 

My family and I passed this state park on our way from Dripping Springs headed to San Antonio. It is beautiful, so we turned around and entered the park. It was $8 for both adults and the kids are free to enter. We stayed there for several hours. The kids had a blast swimming. It was a wonderful find on... More
