TIPS FOR MAKING YOUR GROUP TRIP A SUCCESS

Planning and coordinating a group trip comes with a lot of intricacies, so here are a few suggestions to make sure that everyone has a great time!

PLAN ACTIVITIES THAT EACH GROUP MEMBER WILL ENJOY:

Doing anything with a large group can be challenging as different people have different interests. Luckily, our San Marcos River campground has lots of ACTIVITIES and ATTRACTIONS that cater to a variety of interests! To ensure that everyone in your group has a great time, plan events and outings that each person will enjoy.

KNOW YOUR GROUP:

Knowing your group is important when planning a group camping trip. If there are several introverts in the group, perhaps it might be best to reserve SEPARATE SITES NEARBY to one another so that people can unwind after a day of fun events. If you are Texas camping with a very tight-knit group of extroverts, our LARGER CABINS may be the right option for you! Knowing your group can be the key to creating an enjoyable experience for everyone!
