On sweltering summer days, the San Marcos River becomes a cooling respite for hundreds of tubers thanks to Don's Fish Camp. The shop rents tubes with coolers and sells supplies such as sunscreen and waterproof cameras for tubers to take onto the water. When not floating with a brew in hand, tubers can barbecue and picnic along the banks flush with trees and shrubbery.

The rec area accommodates those who aren’t ready to go home at the end of day by allowing guests to pitch a tent and camp under the stars to the sound of rushing water and largemouth bass that just won't shut up. To give these visitors a scenic place to tube and party, Don's team cleans up the riverbanks daily and requests guests bring no glass or styrofoam on the premises.

Float was great, staff very friendly. However without Groupon to pricy for a family to come very often. $5 per person just to access property and $12 per tube or $8 per person for ride to river put in (using my own tube) makes this something we could only do as special treat.

I had never been on that part of the San Marcis river before using the groupon. I thought Dons fish camp was great because it offers tubers what most places cannot which is the opportunity to exit the river where you started. The only suggestion I would make to Don's is for them to provide permanent restroom structures & a place to change after you get off the river.
