South Llano River State Park

South Llano River State Park

Junction, TX
June 2010

This was a nice little park located off of IH10 In Junction Texas about an 90 minutes outside of San Antonio.

The park has one camping circle that includes fifty seven RV pads.
The sites were level, well paved and very generous in size. We
had spot #57 and enjoyed the privacy. Our nearest neighbor was
approximately sixty feet way.

The river is pretty secluded. We tubed down three times and
only once did we see another tuber. The water is fairly clean and
clear. The only rapids are at the start of the park where water shoot out from under the park's entence bridge. Lots of people

hang out in this area and shoot the bridge.

The river float is about two miles long and takes an hour or two.

It isn't fast flowing but deep enough so that we didn't have to walk

any of the shallow spots. The top of the river float is about a

3/4 mile hike and the exit hikeis about a third of a mile uphill

to the campsites.

This park reminded me of Guadelupe River SP. The park is also

known for it's turkey roost area.

This isn't the Frio/ Garner SP. But it's a nice little SP.
