My name is Karin Rettele. I am a professional property manager, wife and Mom of four.
I was born and raised in this area and grew up floating the river, going to the nearby lakes, catching concerts at Gruene Hall and White Water Amphitheater. There are plenty of exciting attractions including Schlitterbahn and many other fun activities in this area!
I love going out to eat and trying new places with my Husband Jesse. I can recommend places to eat and exciting, fun places to visit. My main focus is to make sure your cabin is clean and your stay with us is comfortable and convenient! Please let us know if you need anything.
Why they chose this property
Son's Blue River Camp is located on the gorgeous and family friendly San Marcos River near Fentress, TX! This part of the river is ideal for tubing as there are no dangerous dams or rapids and the river flows at a nice pace allowing you to float with little to no paddling!
This section of the River is also ideal for families. You won't find the college scene here. Instead, floaters will find a beautiful blue river, outlined with majestic cypress and pecan trees which creates a peaceful, relaxing and enjoyable float. And since the San Marcos River is spring-fed, the river flows nice all summer long and doesn't dry up or slow down like the Guadalupe and Frio Rivers do.
Son's River Ranch is located 2 miles up river and is our tubing/kaying put in. We have shuttles that run between the 2 properties everyday in the summer, on most weekends in the spring and fall and by reservation in the winter. Tubing and laying is a must if you come to Son's Blue River Camp!
What makes this property unique
The fishing is excellent! You will routinely see Fly Fishing Guides guide trips from Fentress to our takeout. Anglers try thee hand at catching small mouth, large mouth, sunporch, catfish and more!
We have some of the best BBQ in the state in the local town nearby. Be sure to try City Market in Luling and Smitty's in Lockhart when you come! It's finger-licking good!
We are surrounded by large farms and ranches. It’s peaceful and relaxing and the stars shine bright at night! There is so much fun to be had and things to do on the San Marcos River and Son’s Blue River Camp!
