River Road in New Braunfels is one of the most beloved camping destinations in all of Texas. Here's your complete guide to the best campgrounds โ and how to make the most of your visit with an RV rental.
Stretching along the crystal-clear Guadalupe River just outside of New Braunfels, River Road (FM 306 and River Road) is arguably the most popular camping corridor in the entire state of Texas. Every summer, thousands of families, friend groups, and adventure seekers flock to this stretch of Hill Country paradise for tubing, kayaking, swimming, and campfire nights under the stars.
But not all campgrounds on River Road are created equal. Whether you're looking for a full-service family resort with a waterpark, a quiet riverside site with direct Guadalupe access, or a unique quarry swimming experience, there's a perfect spot for you. And with New Braunfels RV Rental delivering directly to most of these parks, you can skip the hassle of towing and just show up ready to enjoy.
1. Camp Huaco Springs โ Best for Direct River Access
Located at 4150 River Rd, Camp Huaco Springs is our primary delivery location and one of the most beloved campgrounds on the entire stretch. Situated directly on the Guadalupe River, Camp Huaco Springs offers shaded sites with mature cypress trees, direct river access for swimming and tubing, and a relaxed atmosphere that feels like stepping back in time.
The campground has full hookup sites suitable for RV delivery, clean restroom facilities, and a friendly staff. It's particularly popular with families because the river is calm and shallow in many spots โ perfect for kids. We deliver and fully set up your RV right at your site, so all you have to do is arrive and enjoy.
Book your Camp Huaco Springs site well in advance for summer weekends โ they fill up fast, especially Memorial Day through Labor Day.
2. Mystic Quarry โ Most Unique Experience
If you're looking for something truly one-of-a-kind, Mystic Quarry is unlike any other campground in Texas. Built around a former limestone quarry, the swimming areas feature crystal-clear, deep blue-green water that looks almost otherworldly. The quarry has multiple depth levels โ from shallow wading areas to deep sections for cliff jumping.
Beyond the quarry swimming, Mystic Quarry offers full RV hookups, a general store, and a variety of accommodation types. It's a fantastic choice for groups who want something different from the typical river camping experience. We deliver RVs to Mystic Quarry and can set up your unit before you arrive.
3. Camp Fimfo โ Best for Families with Young Children
Camp Fimfo Texas Hill Country is the newest and most resort-style campground on the Guadalupe River. Opened in 2021, it features a full waterpark with slides and a lazy river, glamping tents, cabin rentals, and a variety of family-friendly amenities that go well beyond traditional camping.
For families with young children who want the camping experience with extra amenities, Camp Fimfo is hard to beat. The waterpark alone makes it worth the trip. We deliver RVs to Camp Fimfo, giving you the best of both worlds โ your own private space with full kitchen and sleeping quarters, plus access to all the resort amenities.
4. Whitewater Sports โ Best for Adventure Seekers
Whitewater Sports is the go-to spot for tubing, kayaking, and river adventure on the Guadalupe. Located right on River Road, they offer tube and kayak rentals, shuttle service, and riverside camping. The atmosphere is lively and social โ perfect for groups of friends looking for an active, fun-filled weekend.
5. Rockin' R River Rides โ Classic River Road Experience
Rockin' R River Rides is one of the original River Road outfitters and has been a New Braunfels institution for decades. They offer tube rentals, river access, and camping along the Guadalupe. The vibe is classic Texas river camping โ laid-back, friendly, and unpretentious. If you want the authentic River Road experience without the resort atmosphere, Rockin' R is your spot.
6. Lazy L&L Campground โ Best for Quiet Getaways
For those seeking a quieter, more peaceful River Road experience, Lazy L&L Campground offers shaded sites along the Guadalupe with a more relaxed, less crowded atmosphere than some of the larger parks. It's a great choice for couples or smaller families who want to enjoy the river without the party scene.
How to Make the Most of Your River Road Trip
- Book your campsite and RV rental at the same time โ popular sites and RVs both fill up fast for summer weekends.
- Bring sunscreen, water shoes, and a dry bag for river activities.
- Arrive on a Thursday or Sunday to avoid the peak weekend crowds.
- Stock your RV kitchen before you arrive โ grocery stores are a short drive away in New Braunfels.
- Check the Guadalupe River flow rates before your trip โ higher flows mean faster tubing.
