Best time to visit Honey Creek State Natural Area
Spring, from March through May, is the best time to visit, when wildflowers bloom, temperatures are mild, and migratory songbirds including the golden-cheeked warbler return to the canyons. Fall, from October into early December, offers cooler hiking weather and bald cypress color along the creek. Summer tours run but midday heat and humidity in the Hill Country can be intense, so morning starts are strongly preferred. Winter tours are quieter and the oak woodlands remain open, though creek levels can be low.

- Guadalupe River Paddling at Adjacent State Park EasyRV parking available
Paddling on the Guadalupe River is accessible from the neighboring Guadalupe River State Park, where RV campers stay. Calm pools and small rapids suit kayaks, canoes, and tubes in moderate water. tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/guadalupe-river
- Hiking Guadalupe River State Park Trails ModerateRV parking available
Hiking the trail system at Guadalupe River State Park gives RVers a self-guided option when Honey Creek tours are not running. Routes like the Painted Bunting Trail and River Overlook Trail total more than 13 miles. tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/guadalupe-river
- Wildflower and Native Plant Photography Easy
Wildflower photography peaks in April when bluebonnets, Indian paintbrush, and Engelmann daisies line the meadows. Tours offer controlled access to plant communities that are otherwise off-limits.
- Stargazing from Guadalupe River State Park Campground EasyRV parking available
Stargazing is strong in the Hill Country skies above the campground, which is far enough from San Antonio to see the Milky Way on clear nights. RV sites along the outer loops offer the least light interference.

We had a fantastic time camping with this camper. It was perfect for my family of 4 and really we could have had more. We will definitely be renting from Matt again. He was prompt with the setup and pick up and very easy to get ahold of. I highly recommend using them!
Andrea V. - Mar 2025
Kristen was a fantastic host. We arrived to everything set up and hooked up. The RV was clean and clean linens and towels were on the beds. The outdoor kitchen was perfect for breakfast and the outside fridge was used constantly. Communication was amazing. We had a flight cancelled and Kristen made it work so we didn't miss a thing.
