About Son's Blue River Camp

Son's Blue River Camp is a private waterfront getaway on the San Marcos River in Martindale, TX, just a short drive from San Antonio, Austin, and the greater Texas Hill Country. Whether you're planning a family daycation, a milestone birthday, a corporate retreat, or a small-group reunion, our team handles the details so you can focus on the people you came with. We've spent years refining this experience: every cabana, kayak, paddle board, and picnic table is positioned with intention so you get more time on the water and less time wrangling logistics.

Son's Blue River Camp sits on a spring-fed stretch of the San Marcos River between San Marcos and Luling — one of the cleanest, clearest paddling rivers in Texas. The property is built for slow, scenic float trips, family swim days, and small-group gatherings under the cypress trees. You'll find shaded cabanas, riverfront picnic spots, and quiet swim holes that stay cool even in late summer.

Most guests drive in from San Antonio, Austin, San Marcos, New Braunfels, and Seguin. Pack a cooler, swimsuits, water shoes, and sunscreen — we'll handle parking, river access, and a stress-free check-in. If you want to stretch the trip into a weekend, ask about glamping and overnight cabins at our sister properties on the Guadalupe and Cibolo Creek.
