About this property

The River Lotus

Our Little slice heaven is right on the river, we live Downtown in a Charming, quiet little country town. Our property sits right on the San Marcos river, with both shallow and deep areas, its a great place for swimming and fishing or just plopping a chair in the water and relaxing. Although its a big site, we only book to one family at a time so you can enjoy the whole place to yourself. Right downtown our cafe host live music outdoors on the weekend.
The accommodation is air-conditioned and features a separate bedroom.

Beautiful

This was super awesome. The tent is comfortable and spacious. There was plenty of space for the kids to run around, and the river access is awesome. The people are very nice and accommodating. I highly recommend

Absolutely beautiful experience

Angela and Mondo were amazing hosts! They were so hospitable and attentive to all of our needs and went above and beyond! The tent was gorgeous and I love that it was right next to the river! There's many areas to enjoy a fire and eat on their property. The place had all the amenities you need and we'll definitely be back. Thank you again for being so helpful and friendly!

Great location on the San Marcos

We had a wonderful stay over the Easter weekend. Owners were very friendly and helpful and put a lot of thought into the property. Was really nice to walk done to the river and play in the water with our five year old. Right in the downtown area. Plenty of space. Just don’t think that you are going to be in the wilderness. The plus side is that we could sit outside our campsite and listen to live music on Friday and Saturday night.
