This campground is pretty awesome. Some sites are more secluded than others. There are a variety of trails, quite a few on the north side of the river. We discovered some hidden gem scenery areas on this trip. The park and river are pretty clean as well, which was something we found off putting at McKinney Falls. The day use area is also quite nice. While there was the occasional jet overflight, there was no external traffic noise, just the noise of cars entering the park. We went during the week, so there weren't a lot of people... Perfect for getting your Zen on.

Awesome park with great trails and views. Fun place to swim and ride bikes as well. RV pads are getting a little worn but the pad sites are very unique with the natural rock and trees, just make sure you bring enough light to carefully traverse your site at night. Easily the nicest restrooms I've seen in a Texas park and they are air conditioned! I would recommend this place for a day visit and overnight.

Low water in October and cold but super nice. Tranquil sounds. Pictures views. Clean bathrooms that are cleaned twice days. Highly recommended. Limited 4g/5g service but it came in and out.

It is a place that has a lot of hiking options, beautiful views, if you pay attention you will see Birds, Deers, Armadillos, they also have a discovery center, it is small but the explain a lot of the animals that you can found in the area. The restrooms are clean and they parking options. Recommended!

Low water level, but great trails! Such beautiful trees by the water and their roots are amazing. Would love to go when there isn’t a drought. Good shade by the water! Would recommend bringing your own water, it looks pretty cloudy from the fountains. And the rangers were so nice and helpful! Very informative.

11/14/'23 at Guadalupe state park absolutely gorgeous, water is low but  flowing. No tubbing or kayaking. This is a gem, this was our first time although we lived in cedar Park for 17 years (shame on us) The restroom facilities are well taken care of by the "female" volunteers 👍 (they did a better job than the male volunteers) and it's climate controlled. There's also a nice setup for tents. Had a chance to capture a close up from an armadillo.

It's a beautiful, well-kept state park. They have so many camping sites. The shower house is big, old but nice. There are so many hiking trails and beautiful rivers. We saw a family of deer when driving to the campground.

This is one of my new favorites in Texas. The spots are plenty spacious and wooded with table, water, electric, fire ring, and tent pad. The river is within walking distance and there are several places to lounge in the sun or shade in or out of the water. There are some nice trails too. The restrooms/showers are some of the most updated and clean around We'll definitely be back

We recently visited Guadalupe River State Park and purchased a day pass, and I must say it was an incredible experience! The park is simply stunning, with crystal clear river water and towering cypress trees that provide plenty of shade on a hot Texas day. There are so many activities available at the park, from swimming and fishing in the river to hiking and biking along the scenic trails. I particularly enjoyed floating down the river in a tube and soaking up the sun while surrounded by beautiful scenery but this time we just took the dog out to get some fresh air! The park is also well-maintained and the staff is friendly and welcoming. I felt safe and comfortable throughout my visit, and I appreciated the effort the park makes to preserve the natural beauty of the area. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Guadalupe River State Park and purchasing a day pass. With its stunning scenery, fun activities, and friendly staff, it's the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

I am here at the State Park as a park host. Staff here is great. Trent best park rangers. JT is great. The park is clean and taken care of. And you feel safe. So much fun. Little hot but it is great. All of Texas is hot in the Summer. If you ever want to go camping come to the Guadalupe River State Park.

I love this park! I grew up nearby and I have been going to this park my whole life. I have been tent camping here 3 times in the last year and I already have reservations to come back. The campsites aren't the most private but each site has electricity and water. The bathrooms seem brand new, have real toilets and have heat and ac. The river is great for splashing around or just sitting in the water to get out of the heat. We recently visited the education center and even though they were about to close the volunteer was so friendly and welcoming. She even loaned us a backpack full of supplies to star watch. Getting a reservation can be tough but well worth it!

Being from the Houston area, it's nice to see some elevation change that the Hill Country has to offer. The Guadalupe River State Park offers some excellent hiking trails, seating areas, barbecue pits, nice views, and surprisingly clean bathroom facilities. You can definitely tell that the park is well kept. My girlfriend and I enjoyed a walk along the bank of the river and took in how nice the water looked. At one point, the water was shallow enough for us to cross to take some photos upstream.

I camped 2 nights at the Guadalupe River State Park and loved it. The campsite was clean, restrooms are very nice. We had a nice hike to the river and enjoyed some time there. One of the trails goes along the river. Lots of beautiful views.

I haven't been to GSP in years. Over 5 at least. I'm SO glad I came again as an adult. It's truly beautiful. The water is flowing, just the right cool temp water. The trails are nicely preserved and the restrooms are clean/updated. The areas I drove by were clean, the staff keeps up with the grounds pretty perfectly. I came with my dog and sister to swim early Friday morning and there was maybe 3 groups of people spread far along the river. More people started arriving about 12pm but still not "crowded" . The water was clear in the shallow areas until you walked of in of course, because it flows at a nice speed, it's also a healthy green color and the cypress trees are very soothing. No person we interacted with was unpleasant or doing anything bothersome. I highly recommend coming early to get the peaceful feeling.I haven't had so much fun swimming in the river in a long time. I will be coming back more often.

This State Park was absolutely stunning!! The biodiversity is incredible!! We were able to take a few trails that had beautiful scenery! There are tons of alligator gar so if you’re looking to get a good catch come prepared!! Unfortunately we were not ready for Gar! However we still did have a ton of fun fishing! We did not take our kayaks but I wish we had because the river is on the murkier side.

I never get tiered of hiking the beautiful trails in this park. The trails are well maintained and very clean. Hike along the river or through the woods always something new to see.

Stayed during January 2024. Site 79. Pros: Very Nice place. The bathrooms are so nice and look to be new. Site # 79 was great and felt private. Cons: Bathhouse SHOWER ROOMS were not heated while we were there. I’m not sure if they have heaters in them at any time. Not good when the temps get down to the 40’s and lower during your stay. The bathroom/toilet area did have heaters and they were plenty warm. We will stay again, but when the weather is warmer.

Restrooms are the best! Park is clean and the campsites have lots of shade. There is so much wildlife to see too. As long as there was a rainy spring, the river is nice and cool and flows just hard enough to be fun.

My family and I recently stayed at Guadalupe River State Park for a single night on our way to another state park for the 4th of July. We were excited to try out the river and overall had a pleasant experience. The park itself is heavily wooded and rocky, providing plenty of privacy between campsites, which was a major plus. Our campsite, number 49, had a designated picnic table and a designated area for our tent. It was completely surrounded by large trees, creating a serene and pleasant atmosphere. Additionally, it was conveniently located right across the street from the restrooms and showers, which was a nice convenience. However, the check-in process was a bit of an annoyance. Having checked in at many Texas state parks before, I expected a smoother and more efficient experience. Unfortunately, it seemed like the staff was not fully prepared or knowledgeable about the check-in procedures, resulting in longer wait times and a backlog of visitors. We spent the afternoon on the river, using an inflatable raft that could accommodate about four people. Unfortunately, the water level was quite low, so we had to walk for a considerable distance before finding a spot deep enough for swimming. This was a bit disappointing, as we were hoping for a more immersive river experience. Furthermore, the lack of current in the river meant that people were just standing or sitting in stagnant water, which took away from the overall enjoyment. Upon returning to our campsite from the river, my wife decided to rinse off at the bathrooms. She was pleased to find that the facilities were extremely clean and well-maintained. The water was refreshingly cold, which was perfect given the high temperatures outside. In my experience with Texas state parks, the condition of the bathrooms can be hit or miss, but in this case, they were exceptionally clean, and we greatly appreciated it. One downside of this particular state park was the lack of cellular service. I barely had a single bar of signal, which made it difficult to use the internet or make calls. This may not be a major concern for everyone, but it is worth noting for those who rely on connectivity during their outdoor adventures. Overall, Guadalupe River State Park offered a pleasant camping experience with its wooded and private campsites. While the check-in process could be improved, the well-maintained bathrooms were a welcome surprise. The low water level and lack of current in the river were minor disappointments, but the beauty of the natural surroundings still made it enjoyable. However, for those who require consistent cellular service, it is important to be aware that the park has limited connectivity.

Such an awesome park... Very reasonably priced and so much tree coverage at the tent only walk in sites that I didn't even need a canopy. I lucked out in every way possible... weather was perfect, my site had hammock trees, the sky was clear at night and puffy clouds during the day. All that and I was literally the only person camping in the area. Bring a canopy for electric sites and the coverage isn't always there. Bring a wagon to haul your gear at the walk in sites. The only negative was the fact the store didn't really have anything... maybe I didn't actually go to the right place though cause it seemed really odd that all they had was magnets and one variety of t-shirt. I'll be back often once the weather stays under 90 degrees!

One of Texas best parks! Their restrooms beat out Buc'ces! They are so so clean you can smell it. Enjoyed the trails, especially the one you have to cross the river with. Curry Creek Overlook Trail, Golden Cheeked Warbler Trail, Cedar Sage Creek & few others. It's a well kept park & plenty of shade. It was so relaxing. River was low due to drought & fire ban. So, didn't get to do camp fire. Will need to come back during the summer to float the river. Keep in mind, tying down your float with rope to tree unless you have a group to park down river. People are very friendly & pet friendly.

Well kept trails that are basically the park's backroads. If you enjoy cross country running or biking, this is an excellent place to trek. Most of the trails are clear with little obstructions. Staff was super helpful and took the time to answer my questions about trails, conditions, swimming areas & restrooms. Specific to Curry Creek Trail section: Pay close attention to the trail path. It was very difficult to follow due to the terrain. Take (or in my case make) a walking stick because some of the underbrush & leaves were difficult to see clearly. Specific to Bauer Homestead site: There were tarps over the roof, a fence around the perimeter & overgrown plants that obscured views of the homestead. All the trails have random benches for resting. Upon closer inspection, they were Eagle Scout projects from past years. I thought that was so cool!! What I loved most about this park was the ability to trek up & down the river, find a cool spot & chill. Everyone visiting the park respected everyone's space and for me, it felt like a piece of peaceful paradise if even for only a few hours. This is a dog friendly park. I know this because I was able to pet several dogs while visiting 😜.

Park was great, very well maintained. The water was a little low but still cool. Had a great time!

We had a blast tubing on the Guadalupe river. We found an excellent spot near the river with tree coverage so we could take a break from the sun. The only draw back is having to carry your things up and down a fairly steep hill. We elected not to attempt bringing our cooler down the hill since it was just me and my daughter. So, we had to walk back up the hill to our car every time we needed a cold drink and for lunch. Next time, we'll get one of those wagons to put our things in. Also, I strongly suggest getting your pass ahead of time and getting there early as the parking lot closest to the river fills up quickly and you do not want to have to carry your things from the over flow parking lot and then have to go up and down that hill.

Nice swimming hole and a nice trail that follows the river. Huge Cypress trees and lots of roots so watch your step. Saw only one snake. Cool learning center for kids. The overlook trail is not much of an overlook due to trees below. Well marked trails and our dog was tick free.

Gorgeous landscape with a diverse set of vegetation. Great for an afternoon picnic near the water. We did go when it was raining and they had closed most of their trails to avoid erosion. But what little we did catch was beautiful.

Phenomenal place to go to get away from everything. It’s both good and bad that it’s so close to major urban areas… the reservation system controls the crowds pretty well though. We camped for two nights and couldn’t have had much of a better experience. The river was beautiful and the camping areas awesome. The ONLY “complaint” I have is that I feel the park rangers are a tad bit too nosy with regard to people’s privacy when camping. The way I see it, I go camping to get away and have some seclusion and immersion. It’s hard for that to occur when every 30 minutes a loud Ranger vehicle goes passing by the campsite eyeing us like hawks. I understand they are just doing their jobs but I feel it’s a little intrusive. But I digress, it was lots of fun and I’ll go again for sure.

I took the family here for a hike and was not disappointed! We went to the Honey Creek conservation and hiked for about 2 miles. The guide was very informative and super nice. You do need to make a reservation to go into Honey Creek but it's worth it. The views are beautiful and as a bonus we got to see some deer along the way.

We loved it. Also the gentleman and the lady working in the visitor center are amazing! From dog treats for our dogs to helping us since my husband is a vet. Thank you very much!

It was a really pleasant stay at this park. The bathrooms were always super clean and the camp sites were very nice. There are pads for tents and parking spots for trailers and your vehicle. Definitely recommend staying here when you get a chance.

Iam very satisfied with the staying in this park for camping. Our site was Wagon ford, it's a walk in area so you need to have a cart to carry your stuffs to the camping spot which is not more than 100 meters. It's the most beautiful site also and it is the closest to the river. There's 2 restrooms at this spot and a tap with potting water. The staff is very friendly, they drive around so you can catch someone and ask for help, or you always can call them. We saw and hear many animals and birds which is amazing. There's a lot of scenic views and just pretty trails. We definitely will come back.

The sites are good size and have a designated space for a tent. Lots of hiking trails. The Discovery Center was fun to visit. The volunteer was pleasant. The bird blind was nice, and there were signs of the local birds. Bath houses are large and clean.The Guadalupe River is within walking distance and is spectacular. Just image all the years it has been in existence. There is a burn ban in effect, so there are no campfires. A good place to stay.

Every single staff or volunteer we encountered were not only friendly, but knowledgeable on everything within the area offering suggestions, stories, and help our entire stay. It helped me to feel comfortable and more safe with the kids to see them always out and around the grounds doing some sort of task for the park. The park always seemed to be running efficiently in that daily you saw the activities and guides…as well as campers following the structure and rules of the facilities without any issues…it was a great experience and atmosphere and we can’t wait to go back to such a beautiful part of Texas. Thanks GSP! Much love from Corpus Corpus, Texas.
