The original idea for this article was to provide a guide for visitors looking for River outfitters/campsites along the banks of the river the Guadalupe between Canyon Lake and New Braunfels, Texas. However, a scenic river road driving along outfitter after outfitter proved that this would be a more daunting task that I originally had thought. How I had to choose from the many outfitters? It is clear would an article including all of them (at least seemingly) the rest of my days. Then, as if in response to my thoughts, the lazy l & l came into picture. This was--the landscape only surpassed all others. My quest was ended.
The first thing I noticed about the lazy l & l was the carefully preserved grounds and the large number of campsites. They boast accurate thirty seven Riverfront campsites with water and electricity, BBQ grills, picnic tables and fire rings (for those cool fall hill country nights). If you feel a little more adventurous, they also offer twelve or more primitive campsites and for those who enjoy big family or group trips, lazy l & l offers two private camping areas with access to main camp and three pavilions. That can be rented for a reasonable price. While the owners promote call in advance for reservations (especially in the busy summer months), the campsite also offers one of the largest flood plains located at the River.
The next aspect that stood out was the number of facilities and services in the Lazy L & l. I couldn't help but notice the big "general store" with all the comforts that someone at home leaving could--including toiletries, BBQ and fishing supplies, food and beverages. This seems to be not such a big deal, but if the nearest Wal-Mart is thirty minutes away, well ... you get the idea. You decide, though, that you to fulfill your Wal-Mart urge, lazy l & l also Wi-Fi connections, offers so you can increase your card of choice. There is also a delicious little grill clerk on the site, during the summer months, and catering is available with advanced notice. Last, but certainly not least (and certainly most important)--the bathrooms. If you are one of the many that camping, as long as certain needs (and comfort) feature, then you will definitely share my joy and find three large, strategically placed bathrooms in the Lazy L & l that ... drum roll please ... not very clean! I've seen (and unfortunately) my share of undesirable features, but no worries here. They also offer hot showers for a small fee.
Now, you're probably wondering, "great, they have more than enough space for me, great landscape by the River, many facilities, but I don't come to the River to sit. What do I get to do? " Fear not--there are plenty of activities to you whether you're a river rat or price of a land occupation. You can't come in this area without "tubes" or "toobing" the River (Yes, there is in these parts as argument to the spelling checker). While the camp many of the river access, it also has excellent access to the Devil's playground White run--one of the most exciting series of rapids along the Guadalupe. You can hire a tube (or series) or bring your own (there is an air station available), and the lazy l & l offers a shuttle service will pick you up one of the river crossings and the campsite for round two. If you prefer your fun sans water, offers the camping also volleyball, horseshoes and fish to keep you entertained.
Okay, let's recap. How are the guys at lazy l & l different from the other outfitters along the River? Firstly, they are certainly family oriented with activities for everyone. Secondly, you can have your very own tube or raft (believe it or not, this may be a problem elsewhere). They offer plenty of clean, yes clean, bath rooms and many facilities at each regular camping. Then you need another reason to visit, is the incredible scenery along the River. So, grab the family and all of its material, and from the head. What are you waiting for?
