PHOTO ALBUM

Due to the continuing severe drouth, the San Marcos River is the lowest since the 1950s, but we always have plenty of water for great fishing, swimming, and tripping in canoes & kayaks.  More can be learned about the river on its page listed above.  The following are pictures of the campground taken in September and October, 2006, after a tiny rain.
