Brief Overview: 
Situated along the banks of the scenic Guadalupe River is a very nice 25 acre RV Park, Rio Raft & Resort. Rio Raft has RV sites with full hookups, tent sites, cabins along the bank of the river, a country store, and a complete rafting operation. They have a very beautiful quarter mile of river frontage that is heavily treed and great for enjoying the river, relaxing, or watching the thousands of tubers float by. Rio Raft is a great place to spend a weekend or longer if you want to enjoy the river or explore the local area. The park is well maintained and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The roads and sites are graveled and level. A security guard helps protect your privacy and prevents overcrowding.

Rio Raft has been kind enough to offer Texas Outside visitors a 20% discount on camping - check out their coupon.

Amenities and Fun Things To Do:
Rio Raft has 64 RV sites, 52 of which are full hook-up pull throughs with either 30 or 30/50 amp service. Each of the sites has a picnic table, grass, and some shade. Six of the sites are close to the river and you'll have a great view of the beautiful river and tubers. There are 11 sites with water and electricity for smaller RVs or tents plus 10 sites for tents with no water or electricity. The sites are side by side but a little more spacious than most RV Parks and all the sites are just a short walk to the river or pool.

Rio Raft also has 20 river-front one to three bedroom cabins. Each of the cabins are air conditioned and heated and include: BBQ grills; range and oven; microwave; full bath; color cable TV; and linens. Best of all, each cabin has a deck with a picnic table and fantastic view of the river. The cabins are small, clean, and comfortable. No kitchen service, pots and pans, coffee pot, or towels are provided. Jazzy's on The River, located next to Rio Raft's store, will deliver coffee to your door and they serve breakfast tacos and more each morning at 7 AM. Or head into nearby Sattler for breakfast at Old Sattler Bakery and Cafe.

Some of the other amenities at Rio Raft include:

• very nice pool with restrooms
• well stocked convenience store
• hot showers
• horseshoes and volleyball
• pavilion/meeting room
• playground
• deck over the water

A Typical Texas Outsider Day:

One of the reasons we like to stay at Rio Raft is because they have a complete tube, raft, inflatable canoe, and sit-on-top kayak rental business. They will shuttle you up river and you can float the river, enjoying the scenery, the crowds, and your buds, and end up right back where you started. What a great way to spend a few hours. After dropping off your tube, walk over to Jazzy's on the River next to the Rio Raft convenience store and enjoy some excellent ribs and sliced beef

Rio Raft is a perfect place to stay and enjoy all of the other fun things to see and do in the area, see our list of favorites below.
