1-Night River Camping - Wilbarger Trail
2-Nights River Camping - Garfield Trail
River Camping in Texas For Experienced Paddlers
Spend a day or two paddling through scenic stretches and gentle whitewater sections – on either the Garfield trail or Wilbarger trail – and bask in nature’s stunning landscapes. At night, set up camp for some primitive river camping under the stars. We’ll tell you the best spots for camping in the area!
These trips aren’t for beginners – they’re designed for seasoned outdoorsmen and women who are confident with a paddle and ready to embrace the wild. For those with a knack for fishing, the river offers a rewarding challenge, with ideal spots to reel in a catch.

No, there are no camping grounds at our base of operations. The camping grounds we recommend as part of the river camping trips are situated along the Colorado River, and you will reach them as you follow our trail notes, provided at check-in.
Primitive camping is camping in remote areas without facilities or amenities that you might find at designated camping grounds. This means no showers, toilets, water hookups, or picnic tables. Be prepared to dig your own cathole for waste disposal.
These river camping trips are recommended for experienced kayakers and outdoors men and women.
We can also arrange river camping trips tailored to non-profit groups, particularly for youth groups and scouts.
