We had an amazing time. We picked a time that we thought would not be that busy and we were on…read morepoint! We arrived on Memorial Day and stayed 2 nights. There were maybe a handful of overnighters there and we were spread out so no one was in each other's face. We stayed in one of the glamping tents and they are very close to each other. So, please consider this and don't complain if you are going mid summer. The bathrooms were kept clean (again, b/c we did not share it with many people--if any). STAFF: super friendly and helpful. There are always people riding around, so you don't have to walk to the front every time you have a question. They are easy to spot, as they wear light bright blue shirts. Whenever I waived them down, they stopped, got off their carts to talk to us (such a small but respectful gesture). The float down the river was a bit long, but they do tell you this-about 2.5 hours and less if you kayak. It's worth doing both, I think. We were a family of 3, 2 adults and a 5 year old. My little one LOVED it. Depending on what end you stay, some have calm water and some have steady streams, so also be ready for this if you have little ones. The glamping tent has: beds with sheets and pillows. Towels and rags. Lights inside and out. Plenty of electric plus inside and outside. Fridge, microwave, TV, electric fireplace, AC (that works very well), a 2 burner electric cooktop, and then outside is exactly like the pictures show with the picnic table, hammock and fire pit. Running water also on the tent outside. Bathrooms and showers, just a short walk behind the tents. There is no camp store, but they do sell some things (wood, lighter, ice and other misc things), that you are also able to get after hours. Bring cash b/c that's the easier way to get them vs having to call the #, pay with your card and then wait for the people to bring you stuff. Bring your own soap, shampoo and all that jazz. We will definitely return (off season).

THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY AND BLAME THEIR OWN COMPUTER BUGS. AVOID!…read more This campground has a severe issue with double-booking and predatory billing. They messed up our check-in, gave away our reserved tent #26, and moved us to tent #13. We checked out early, nearly an hour before the 11:00 AM deadline. Yet, they slapped us with a wrongful $104.46 "late fee" simply because their office failed to update our room transfer in their system. When we called to get our money back and offered to send bank timestamps proving we were already miles away on the highway, the staff was hostile. They told us they have "too many people asking for refunds" and tried to force us to sign a waiver just to get our money back. Completely unprofessional and shady behavior. We had to escalate this to a bank chargeback. Stay away!

We arrived at 8:55 and easily found parking in their lot. It filled up quickly though after that…read more Getting our tubes was easy. The owner or manager not sure was there and talked to me about the chute after I recognized him from their YouTube video. He was nice and informative. The exit at the end was quick and easy and shuttle ride back was quick. Only issue we had was leaving the parking lot there was a huge line of people waiting to get checked in blocking the exit. No employees were directing the line as to allow cars out of the lot. Otherwise we had a great time and would definitely come back.

It's also perfect for first-timers, nervous swimmers, or anyone who likes their adventure with a side of peace of mind. The river is gorgeous, the wildlife is out for a cameo, and the float itself is just long enough to refresh your soul and restore your peace without taking your whole day. A few highlights: The bathrooms? Usually clean for public restrooms. Picnic benches so you can munch after your float - and I highly suggest bringing a picnic and lots of water - remember to also hydrate on the river! STAY HYDRATED. You can swim at the put-in area and at the end of the float. And the waterfall at the end? Don't panic -- it sounds scarier than it is, but trust me, it's the best part. Pure fun! Now, the people at the register... well, let's just say they're not exactly winning "hospitality team of the year." They don't always explain things, like the fact that the price you pay to float (with or without your own tube) does NOT cover the shuttle. That's kind of important information, folks. The shuttle fee actually covers rides all day long (huge win -- but only if you know to ask). Also if you're paying for and blowing up six tubes, then hand them a tiny cooler float? Yep, they'll want to charge you again. Come on, folks, throw a gal a bone (or a blast of air). I'd love to see a couple of actual adults helping at the desk to smooth things out -- because the float is absolutely worth it, and the experience deserves a front desk that matches the fun of the river. Bottom line: go float, enjoy the scenery, take the shuttle (seriously, don't forget to ask), and ride that waterfall with a big goofy grin. It's San Marcos at its best!

It's definitely less crowded and hectic as some of the other Comal River rentals, and the staff was super nice. The only reason i probably won't return to Gonzo's is the drop off location.

Also, the float is a bit shorter, since their exit comes up first on the river.

It was about two hours long before we reached our exit to return. After you pay at a stand in the front, a van takes you and your group to the beginning where the river starts. This is much more fun when you have a group to go with. Everyone is so friendly on the river and you just lay there drinking beer. I do not know how to swim and they don't have lifejackets. Most of the water was about waist deep. There are sections with rocks that you may hit so keep an eye out. Make sure to bring water shoes if you can!

Little children like my granddaughter age 3 1/2 would need to wear floaties for your peace of mind but, parents are going to be with their children. My daughter and her husband rented a Kayak to go to the other side where it is deeper and there was a rope swing. My son in law loved that. You can take your own water toys and tubes. It is spring fed and it stays 72 degrees all year. It's still chilly but when you walk around you get use to it and it's comfortable. I have not camped out. We may go again for the 4th and we might camp out. It's very pleasant there. The cabanas are great. Lots of shade in the cabanas and you can grill, there are lots of chairs so you don't have to take chairs unless you want to. You will need to take food and drinks, snacks. All of the cabanas have hammocks which is nice. Beware of rocks though and be sure and take your water shoes so that you can walk on the rocks. There are some areas that are very easy to just walk into the water where the ground is level. I highly recommend this place for a fun family weekend or a fun day.

On Friday night, they asked us to lower our music because it was getting late, so we turned the volume down so low that we could barely hear it. They came back twice, saying we were still being too loud, but they didn't say anything to the other campers. They also told us they could hear us all the way from where the showers are, which is not true because I went to the showers during that time and couldn't hear anything. Also, while I was walking back to my tent after showering, the employees on the golf cart were giving me dirty looks and rudely asked, Can we help you? They came back to our tent a third time and told us to shut it down, even though we had already started packing up for the night. My brother went to his tent, and Clayton, one of the employees, threatened him by telling him to quiet down or they could do this the easy way or the hard way. The next night, they came up to us and told us not to have any more problems. This campground used to not be like this, but after that experience, I do not want to come back.
