⛺️ @riversedgecampground was the perfect spot for camping on spring break! 🤩

📍 1217 US-281, Johnson City, TX

🏠 There’s something for everyone here! You can choose tent camping, RV camping, a cabin, or even glamping in a covered wagon!

🛌 The cabins come with different features. Some can sleep up to 6! Some have bathrooms and small kitchens. Ours was the closest to the river and slept 6.
🚽 If having a bathroom inside your cabin is important to you, make sure you choose one that has that option!
🛶 rent kayaks to take down the river
🏊 pool & hot tub (pro tip: there are jets you can turn on on the pole next to the hot tub!)
🏀 basketball court (and balls)
🏐 sand volleyball (and balls)
🎱 pool table upstairs in the main office
🏓 pickleball court
🛝 playground
♟️ giant chess
🌽 cornhole
🥏 9 hole disc golf course
🧺 laundry room available
🔥 fire pits at every site plus at the main gaming/pool area

This pace was so much fun! My kids ran around and made friends with the other kids, making up games and basically having the time of their lives! There was a pickleball tournament happening on the day we left which looked like a lot of fun. They really know how to have a good time here. Check them out for your next long weekend vacation or for this summer!

🦕 Take an adventure more than 110 million years into the past! 🤩 @gbratx

🥾 We booked the 90 minute Canyon Lake Gorge Guided Tour Hike over spring break and honestly it was the highlight of our trip!

📍 16029 S Access Rd, Canyon Lake, TX

👉Tour highlights include:
🚌 VIP access to go all the way down into the gorge (only accessible with the guided tour!)
🦖 Real dinosaur tracks that were exposed after the flood of 2002
🐚 Finding fossils that were over 110 million years old!
💦Waterfalls

We learned so much about ancient Texas history and the flood that carved the gorge. My kids said our tour guide liked to yap 😅 but also that was the best part! He truly knows his stuff and absolutely loves to share what he knows. It really makes learning so fun when you learn it from someone who’s so passionate about what they do! It was our whole family’s favorite part of spring break!

🥾 The hike is about 1.25 miles long. Sturdy shoes are a must!
👧 Kids must be 7 years old or older to join this hike.
🎟️ Guided tours are $15-20/person.
⏰ We chose the 90 minute hike (which went over time and ended up being almost 2 hours). There’s also a 3 hour option that is the same distance, just with more yapping (lol), so be sure to book that one if you want to learn even more. 😉
☀️ We went during spring so the weather was great! Hikes start at 8:30am. Make sure you bring water, hats, sunscreen, and snacks.
🥾 If your kids are too young for the guided hike, or you just don’t want to book it, you can do the hiking trails around the gorge ($5/person, kids 12 & under are free). Keep in mind you won’t be able to see the dinosaur tracks this way.
