University Camp, located on the Blanco River just outside San Marcos, is a 126-acre retreat reserved for Texas State students, faculty, staff, and alumni.
The camp offers hiking and biking trails, river access for swimming, kayaking, fishing, and scenic spots for camping and group events.
Guests can rent tents, kayaks, mountain bikes, and more—making outdoor adventure easy and fun.
Lodges and primitive campsites are available by reservation, with amenities including water stations, bathrooms, showers, and recycling bins. To help keep the Blanco River and surrounding habitat pristine, please practice Leave No Trace principles: properly dispose of all waste, use trails, and respect wildlife and plant life every visit.
