Great stay! The space heater worked well for the cooler nights. Only gripe was the hot water in the showers ran out pretty quickly and then the water was icy cold.

Group trip
My family and I LOVED staying here with our pups! It was the perfect way to get some non-campers into relaxing in the outdoors! The beds were comfortable, the interiors were simple but absolutely stunning, and our surroundings were so peaceful. I found myself wanting to wake up before sunrise every day :) My dogs have been all over the country with me, but this is definitely one of my favorite stays with them. Getting an additional golf cart was also a very convenient addition to easily get around property!
ALSO It turns out Outdoorsy has two more locations in Colorado and outside of Yosemite--so I may look into trips there as well!

Weekend Trip to 12 Fires Winery and Vineyard
We enjoyed our tent glamping experience at 12 Fires Winery very much! The atmosphere was romantic, positive vibes. The tend had everything we needed, including a space heater and extra blankets which was appreciated on a cold night. The host was responsive, gracious, and accommodating. Thanks 12 Fires!

The best safari tents near New Braunfels guide
Where to go
Guadalupe River
Some of the best campgrounds and RV parks in the region sit along the banks of the Guadalupe River. In summer, Texans flock here for a relaxing float in the sun. The river also provides year-round opportunities for fly fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Campers will find a bit of everything, from glamping tents and full hook-up RV sites to secluded tent sites right on the water.
Comal River
The cool, spring-fed waters of the Comal River—among the shortest boatable waterways in the country—come from the Edwards Aquifer right in New Braunfels. Another popular floating river, the Comal attracts visitors with its calmer waters, shorter float time, and one epic tube chute. Camp along the water within walking distance of historic downtown New Braunfels.
Canyon Lake
Follow the Guadalupe River north and you’ll reach Canyon Lake, nicknamed the Hill Country Coast. Numerous campgrounds and RV parks line the 80 miles of shoreline. Head to one of eight parks along the lakeshore for swimming, boating, picnicking and camping.
When to go
The cool waters of the Comal and Guadalupe rivers make New Braunfels particularly popular during the hot summer months. It’s well worth visiting during this busy season for the river tubing, but be sure to book your campsite well in advance. To beat the crowds, plan a trip just before Memorial Day Weekend or just after Labor Day Weekend.
Know before you go
- Many campsites offer river tube rentals, as well as shuttle services to bring you back after your float.
- Texas summers can get hot and humid, so remember to drink plenty of water to replenish lost fluids.
- Disposable containers are not permitted on either the Guadalupe or Comal. Transfer your beverages and snacks to reusable water bottles and food containers before your float trip.
