Lazy L & L Campground

My family had a camper lot, I went to go float one day with them. I live in Austin, and have floated every summer since I was a child. I showed up and the gentleman at the checkin booth was EXTREMELY off putting. I had people with me from out of state. This was their first time in Texas and we had been speaking very highly of floating the river. The guy was in his mid 40s I believe and looked slightly Native American and/​or Hispanic. They charged 10 $ a person just for us to go down to my families camper for the day. Then we still had to pay for tubes. Which is fine but they also charge for showers and don’t allow pets.
Save some money and go to another campsite on river road is my suggestion. Lazy L&L are so overcrowded and they nickel & dime you… then are very impatient and rude to you as you are dropping money into their establishment.

Beautiful location, but very expensive. Seems like they want to nickel and dime you. We paid to shower in their bathrooms and the reader was wrong so we had half the time to shower. When we went to let them know (but we did not ask for our money back) we were told that we must not know how to enter tokens. Not the response I was looking for. Could work on customer service for sure.

We have stayed here several times and this is the first review. As far as the site it is a great place. We used the RV locations (pads 70 – 90). All sites are flat, easy to occupy, and mostly very clean. Thy are narrow so expect to know your neighbor. It’s a good location on the river and close to town and or roads to other sites.
It is a little pricey, the 2/​per vehicle then extra $$ for each person is steep compared to other locations so expect to pay a little more. Although they do have a band stand with facilities and good weekend entertainment that attracts us.
I would say I’ve only had positive an friendly interactions with the staff. They always helped me out when I needed. However I have seen them be «firm» with others and since I wasn’t a party to the interactions I will only say that there is always two sides to a story.
For tubing no issues with price and process. However on weekends plan to wait and have patience checking in. For the site I would recommend you create a sign to describe you line process, where is starts, and have the forms available prior to getting to windows. I think you can efficiencies and help with the flow through the windows with better que management.
We will be back to this location.

We just returned from a weekend trip to Lazy L & L. Having never been there before, we were excited to try somewhere new.
Check in was a little rough. When my husband called to reserve a spot, back in March, he told them that we had both a camper as well as a tent that needed to be set up, so our space would need ample room. When he arrived, with the camper, he got to the site and it was WAAAY too small to fit a tent as well. It was right on the river, which was beautiful, but the sites were like a sardine can. People on top of one another. He asked to switch spots, and we were put by the Dance Hall. I arrived about 20 minutes later, with the kids and was sent to the wrong site. My husband didn’t have cell service, so I called the front (where he had just been, switching sites) and they told me that he couldn’t possibly have switched, because they were booked. Sooooo, we stood around for 25 minutes, trying to figure out where they were, before my husband finally found us at the old site. THAT was annoying.
The new site was MUCH bigger, and although there was no river view, it had tons of room for the kids to play. The bathrooms are super clean, with nice hot water. Our neighbors were clean and respectful.
The river was closed, so it was a pretty boring weekend. They shuttle to the Comal, but we really missed being able to wade in the water at the campground. It was a super hot weekend, so that kind of sucked. We walked down to Devils Playground and could see that the usual lazy river is now going STRONG. I could totally understand the float ban.
The dance hall and grill are amazing. The food is fantastic, and the bands were great. Fun for adults and kids alike. There are horseshoes and washers to play, and there is no cover if you are staying at the campground.
If you run out of anything and need ice, or beer, or whatever… go into town. The store is SUPER expensive. ($ 8.99 for a 12 pack of Dr Pepper)
All in all, we had a nice time. It would have been better if we could have been in the water, but oh well! I think that if the campground had a pool it would definitely be a plus. There is so much open room, and on a weekend like this past one, it would give families a place to enjoy and cool off. Heck, I would have paid extra just to be able to jump into some water!

A really nice little campground. kept up really well and lots of camp
only complaint about this place was its a little pricey. not to mention you have to pay for a shower. it’s only a dollar but shouldn’t that be included in the price considering how much your paying. still a pretty cool place overall and would come back.

While the campsites themselves are in a wonderful location with beautiful views of the river I would BEWARE of the staff! They have HORRIBLE customer service skills. Their credit card machine broke down just as a large group of us went to get tubes and shuttle passes— which in turn made everyone have to use the ATM machine outside. When the ATM machine didn’t work for one of my friends the worker replied «sounds like a personal problem to me».I however paid for my shuttle pass in cash and was given 4 shower tokens in return because they had run out of $ 1 bills. We also had to pay separately for our cooler tubes. which is typically included at similar campsites after the initial tube rental.
It also seemed to me that there was no official check-​in system for guests who are not staying overnight… some of my friends who were just visiting the campsite got charged $ 15 a piece just for coming in for 2 hours. while others got charged $ 10 to stay overnight. ALSO some of the guests who were staying over-​night didn’t receive wristbands initially and were almost refused them upon going back to the office the next morning.
Also, upon contacting management regarding the problems we had – they did NOTHING in the way of correcting their errors or righting their wrongs…
SO my advice to you if you are looking for a stress free, enjoyable weekend by the water… is to just stay at a better staffed and far better manged property (plenty off of river road) to save yourself the headache and money.

The Camp site is really nice and beautiful. The young lady that checked us in was very nice and helpfyl but the manager on duty was short and irritable.
They have a odd policy Where if you stay for the weekend no dogs but if you stay for a month it’s OK. I asked if we could sign liability papers as well and we were told no. After a long drive my sister had to drop off her kids and go back home :(
A dog rather here a day, a weekend or a month is still a dog. I would have paid a daily insurances fee but they didn’t have sense to set something like that up for weekend/​weekly customers. As nice as the site is we will never come here again.
Two weeks before we stayed at the Guadalupe River State Park which is also aligned w/​the Guadalupe River and our dog was allowed to stay. It was $ 150.00 cheaper too. Wish they weren’t booked for this weekend.
Hopefull they will not discriminate in the future. I do plan to look into this issue when I get home.

The staff was rude and the prices are high. We called and they said $ 35 per night. We got there and the started charging for additional people. On top of that they charge for showers and didn’t bother mentioning that when we checked in. Showers only take tokens and the store was closed by the time we realized it. Park was dusty and security will hassle you. Don’t stay here unless you really have to.

I’ve been camping here almost every year for 12 years now. Our last trip was the worst ever! The prices are outrageous and are subject to change, the staff isn’t very helpful and the grounds are no longer kept clean. We arrived at 5am on a Friday morning without a reservation and were put into the overflow area which is primitive tent camping only. Around 7am we were informed that we would be charged for an additional full night since we arrived a hour and a half before check in. We were told that payment for the entire weekend plus our extra night was due. In full. Immediately. We were charged the same rate as the better tent sites with electric poles and water. After talking to management we were told that we needed to reserve our site in January (and prepay, of course) if we wanted a tent site with electric because the summer weekends fill up quickly. Not sure why since the condition of the campgrounds was appalling. Trashcans were overflowing and little bits of garbage were everywhere. The area around the Devil’s Playground part of the river was dirty too. Cans, bags, cigarette butts and junk stuck in the water. The campground looks pretty well staffed, it wouldn’t take much to send an employee or two out to clean up a little. Unfortunately this will be our family’s last trip to Lazy L & L.

Very nice grounds and our stay here with our RV was very nice. Staff was nice and the river was conveniently located. We would love to come back again.

We recently returned from a Fri, Sat, Sun (6÷27−6÷29÷14) stay at Lazy L & L. After reading the reviews I was a bit apprehensive. A friend of mine stays at this campsite with her family every year and we were invited by her. We stayed at campsite 9.
Bring an extra long hose. Most of the campsites, including ours, had the water spigot almost flush with the ground. Not having a hose to attach, made this amenity useless for us.
Bring an extra long extension cord. We had a 50 ft cord and it barely made it to our campsite.
Why the long length? The outlets and water spigots are shared by two sites on one pole. You each get one water spigot, one normal 3 prong outlet and one 220 outlet We shared ours with campsite 10, which because of the way that campsite is set up, caused the pole to be almost in the middle of their campsite. Hence, the need for the extra long length of cords/​hoses. The campers at site 10 were very nice about us going into their area to plug into our assigned outlet.
The showers (2 showers/​2 toilets each for men and women) near our campsite were very clean. Yes, there were bugs, but we expected that, we were camping! There are no «doors» on the toilets or showers, instead they use shower curtains. Which was not a big deal at all. The curtains are «frosted» so you cannot see through them. Toilet paper is provided and it was always sufficiently stocked. Soap for the sink is not provided.
Campsite 9 is near the entrance so we were able to pick up the free wifi without problems. My friend at campsite 24, said she had no signal. It is right off the road, so you will get vehicles driving by quite a bit. Not too big of a deal for us, only when the drivers were not following the 5mph speed limit did we get a bit of dust from the road. It is right across from a walkway (no stairs) entrance to the river, which is a «walk into the river» type. The campers at 7 were very nice about us walking through their site to get to the walkway. There is an alternative to the same area, just walk to the main entrance, behind the store, and you can get to the river by going down the stairs. Not a long walk at all. This site is near the store, horseshoe and washer pits, and showers. We didn’t ask if the site provided washers or horseshoes, I think you need to bring your own. We didn’t see any around the area. You do get the added (or negative depending on your outlook) benefit of hearing which ever music/​band is playing from the Hall and the lighting from the volleyball area, at least until midnight, which is when quiet hours start.
All in all, this being our first time, we really enjoyed ourselves. We will be returning. The staff at the entrance, store and monitoring the grounds were all very friendly.

Prices are kinda high if you have a large group and causes a lot of confusion because different staff say different things but go to Taylor and she gets everything straitened out! She makes sure everyone is on the same page and is happy! Thanks Taylor!

Who likes camping???
This girl!
On a recent trip to the hill country we needed a campground and the Lazy L&L were one of the few that remains open through the winter months. If I had my pick I would have chosen one of the nearby Texas State Parks, but they were booked for the weekend.
The price was decent at around $ 20 per night for two of us, but charging for showers is just plain rude. They have a little store at the front of the property that is way overpriced for everything, but convenient. The property has very little tree coverage, so if you’re tent camping it can be difficult to find any type of privacy. They obviously utilize their tent camp areas more for those floating the river, but I prefer a little more space between me and my neighbor.
The location was great for the wedding we had to attend and not too far from Gruene, so we were able to head into town when we got rained out early in the morning.

Went here for a weekend camping trip in November. The campgrounds were not terribly busy and they let us drive around and find the spot we wanted which was nice. They had two electric outlets for the tent camping sites, and all the sites also had a fire pit and grill. I only have a couple complaints. For a campground there is a serious lack of trees, seriously, I want to feel like I am in the woods. Lastly, I am not a fan of coin operated showers, this should be built into the price of the reservation. It is $ 1 for a 6 minute shower, not that I had trouble showering in the limited time but who likes to feel rushed!

I have never had a worse experience with a company than this. I booked and paid for 4 campsites for 3 days and when my party drove 4 ½ hours to get there, we were told we couldn’t stay. I called the place and spoke with someone prior letting them know I wouldn’t be there until the next day but the other people in the group would be arriving on time, I was told that would not be a problem. I have emailed and called this place multiple times and NO ONE has even responded and it has been a month! This place owes me over $ 300 and an apology! Pretty pathetic if you ask me!

It is our first time and we heard that its nice to float the river during memorial day. We drove 5 hours from beaumont, texas and when we got there this old lady refuse to let us in and told us they are close for the day. We called them and they said that they close at 6pm and we got there around 4pm. She had an attitude and didn’t even give us a chance at all. Luckily Rocky Beach was near and they said that we are more than welcome to float the river until 730. They saved our trip and will never go back to lazy l and l, i hope their management take actions because they will lose business if they refuse service because we are young adults.

Lazy L&L is located on a great stretch of the river, and you’ll have a lot of fun here. There are a couple of caveats I want to get out of the way first:
1) This place attract a ton of younger people, so if you’re expecting the park to become quiet at 10 in the evening: forget about it. The party will go on for quite a while.
2) The place can become very crowded on weekends and holidays.
If you are aware of these issues, you can have a great time. Generally, we come here to camp with friends and leave the kids at home. The nice thing about Lazy L&L is that they have a nice stretch of calm, deep river right along the first half of the park. You can swim without having to fight the current. And if you want, there are some rapids towards the back end of the park as well for the best of both worlds. There are also some wide-​open grassy areas if you want to do something sports related, although it’s mostly too hot in the middle of the summer.

I went here this weekend and definitely had a blast but be warned: it is pricy for what you get (which is not much).
It was $ 25 for a car of two people for one night (plus I believe an addition $ 11 per extra person after the 2!). For that. you get to park in a grassy lot. We requested «primitive camping» which was laughably NOT primitive. the only difference between that and the other camping was lack of water and electric hookup and a slightly further walk to the bathroom.
We thought maybe our pricey purple wristbands got us at least tube rental or a bus ride but, according to other campers, that all costs extra. I didn’t dare enter the on-​site store, but I’m sure everything in there costs a pretty penny. Why? Because they CAN…
Also: no dogs allowed. :(Major sad face.
Another downside is: no trees in the «primitive» camping area! So definitely plan on spending the whole day on the river or at least bring some sort of tarp to sit under while at the site.
But like I said, I did have a great time anyway. The river was great, and there’s no can ban here (the mailing address says it’s in New Braunfels but I think it’s actually in Canyon Lake? hence the lack of ban.) There was access to a spot called Devil’s Playground, where we spent some time the next morning. There are also some lit-​up volleyball courts which were really fun until the lights went out suddenly (it might have been midnight?) Apparently they have a dance hall on Fridays and Saturday nights through the summer too!
Definitely a fun place to go party with your friends in the great outdoors. just don’t expect to get much for your moolah!

I’ve camping and floated many times, but this was a first time at L&L. We will for sure be going back!
I reserved our spot a month or so in advance, and I just told the gal what I wanted and she hooked us up. We were in spot 20. which was perfect. Right on the water, with steps nearby to get down to the river. The bathrooms were nearby as well.
The negatives:
You have to pay $ 1 per token for 6 minutes for shower. And the bathroom only had 2 showers. So ya it’s annoying to pay for it, but it was super annoying to have such few showers for how many campgrounds they have!
The office that sells the tubes for rent were very unorganized. You waited in line, and the lady had to explain the whole story to each group. Then you had to fill out a form. I think it would have been much smoother if the forms were hanging somewhere to go ahead and fill out.
We will be going back for sure!!!

When I met my girlfriend last fall, I was forewarned that she is a river rat and I would probably be taken on floating trips in the summer. Today we finished floating trip #2 of this summer, both at L & L. The place was full so we had to go to the overflow open field where there are no electric/​water hook-​ups, which was no big deal.
I love that the staff is so patient even though they constantly deal with drunken debauchery and general misbehaving. At $ 25/​night, I think it’s kind of pricey but I can’t say I’ve had any bad experiences here. There’s a band that plays in the pavilion area on summer weekends, there are volleyball and horseshoe/​washers areas and there’s a store, which as you can imagine is a little overpriced so come prepared with your goodies but it’s nice to have that there in case you forget something.
