Rio Guadalupe Resort
New Braunfels, Texas
64 RV Sites, 25 Cabins
Rio Guadalupe Resort in New Braunfels, Texas, offers 64 full-hookup RV sites and 25 cabins on the Guadalupe River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and rigs accepted up to 94 feet, open all year. Premiere sites join back-in 30/50, back-in water-and-electric, and pull-through categories, with an outdoor pool, boat and kayak rentals, and a boutique shop.
Sixty-four sites span back-in 30/50-amp, back-in water-and-electric, pull-thru 30/50-amp, and Premiere categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 94 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and BBQ pits. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Ninety-four feet is exceptional for a riverfront Hill Country property. Twenty-five cabins round out the lodging. A general store, boutique shop, restrooms, showers, and a pet washing station handle the practical side. Four dog-friendly cabins are available with a 25-pound weight restriction for all breeds excluding service dogs; there is no weight restriction for dogs staying at RV sites.
An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with boat rentals and kayak rentals opening the river for boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, and fishing. A playground, pavilion, dog park, and picnicking fill the rest, and the property operates as a wedding venue.
The resort opened in 1976 on 25 acres that German settlers once used as a riverfront park.
Summer river season drives demand hard. Reserve well ahead.
