We had a such a great time at the swimming hole today! We arrived at 10:30am, wristbands for adults were $10 and our daughter's (12) was $6. The area is big with plenty of tables and spots to set up chairs, cooler etc. You can bring your own cooler it just can't contain alcohol. The area was also clean and water was beautiful. We rented two tubes for $5 each that lasted three hours and a paddle board that was $10 for an hour. Very family friendly and although we didn't purchase anything they have a cool two story bar where you can buy alcohol and sit on the patio by the water. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we will be back. read more

Had so much fun here!! The walk up bar was nice, with the option to order food from the two nearby restaurants (and they delivered it to the bar!) I recommend bringing your own chairs, they do have quite a few picnic tables but they fill up fast. read more

Found this watering hole while in Wimberley for a girls weekend. Its nice. Clean. Spacious enough. They do charge $10 per person. Kind of steep if you do have a family going with you. t's first come first serve. They do have some Picnic tables. Otherwise, claim your spot with a blanket or towels and enjoy the river. River water was nice and refreshing for a hot summer day. They do the bathrooms on site. They also have a bar where you can get drinks. You can bring in nonalcoholic and food. You cant bring alcoholic drinks. They will check your ice chest and belongings. You do have to sign a waiver. You can do it once you arrive. You can also rent tubes. Dogs are allowed on a leash. In the water off leash. Parking is available but limited. They do have additional parking just a short walk away. On a side note, they have a goat island with goats. It is not recommended to go on the island, but they are fun to see. read more

This place is awesome. We've been here twice now and it's Quite possibly the most chill swim hole we've been to. Awesome bar , cool upstairs patio , we stayed at the lodge and it's a great spot. Shallow enough for kids and deep enough for adults to Enjoy. It was pretty "busy" this time but there was plenty of room and it never even felt crowded . Lots of drink options , very laid back just super cool place if you just take a step back and take a look at it and take it all in . It's a real gem ! And the caves are fun to wander into as well! There has been a couple food trucks each time there , I will 10000% be back here ASAP read more

It's closed but listed as open on every site right now. If it's closed to the public, it's closed to the public. It doesn't matter if it's because you're hosting a special event, we drove an hour to get here because they've deliberately refused to list their accurate hours. Major bummer, especially since it takes such minimal effort on their part to just mark themselves as closed on dates they're closed. read more

It's $10 to get in per person. If you want to sit in a bar by the water and have some drinks and listen to music, maybe it is worth it for you. If you are just wanting to swim in the water, you can go to any free river area in Texas and get this same experience. The swimming hole is just your plain ol' brown Texas river water, nothing wrong with that, but not worth $10 when you can get it for free. The bathrooms were nasty and there are sticker burrs all over the grass. read more

Beautiful swimming hole. Family atmosphere. No life guard, but staff are present. Tubes and padfle boards for rent. $10 per person to swim. Bottom of swimminf hole felt like a fine gravel. Take water socks. Steps to the swimming hole covered in algae, very slippery. We will be back. Not real deep as long as you stay close to the wall. I didn't go towards the center nor went to water fall cave. read more

fantastic place for a swim. even in more dry season. cool rock across the way. there were rental tubes too. read more

Definitely a hidden gem spot! There's rental equipment and a restaurant attached. Will definitely be coming back.

Fun place to cool off with a great view. It was only $2 per person for locals. Pets are welcome! They have many tables and sitting areas along the banks. There is a teepee and arbor for weddings or other events. There used to be a Mexican restaurant here. Too bad it's gone; it would be nice to have food available along with drinks. They rent canoes, tubes, kayaks and SUPs. Friendly employees and fellow nature lovers. I'm sure the parking and pond are super busy in the summer. My only complaint was I got bit several times by red fire ants. Fortunately a nice mama had alcohol wipes and hydrocortisone cream to stop the pain. read more

Doesn't look like much when you first arrive. Seems a bit small and mainly only trees to look at.. But it's actually pretty freaking awesome when you commit. The water was pretty dang cold but understandable for it being May and 85 degrees. I can only imagine mid July 92 degrees (; The employees are so kind, relatable, and down to earth. They make you feel extremely welcome like close friends. They serve beer and wine! Wristbands $8 for "tourists" (not locals). Also have food and non-alcoholic drinks. Let me give a neat organized pros and cons list! (My opinion of course!) Cons -Not much seating... bring towels, blanket, or chairs for sure -$8 seems a bit pricey to get in but I guess understandable for the amount of people know about it and want to spend time there -$5 white claws.... uhhh no.... BUT good news 6pk for $13... BETTER -I know some people wanna fish... there's not any (well I didn't get a bite) -I like to play music but people are so close by so had to play it quietly! Not much of a con but kinda wish the property of bigger like I thought it was. People are pretty close by. Pros -hospitality -parking -there's a little wooden swing! -tubes and kayaks to rent -YUMMY FOOD (coconut Shrimp and Barbacoa quesadillas are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -CLEAN portapotties read more

called beforehand to see if park was open, no answer from real person. arrived at 2pm only to be told they were closing in 30 minutes for a wedding. would've appreciated someone to answer the phone to let us know to not waste our time and gas to come all the way for nothing. read more

Great spot for some chill time on my birthday with my dog. Laid back vibes and great area for swimming. Will definitely be returning whenever we come back to town. read more

What a delightful place! This space is super chill, and is one of the few swimming holes that doesn't require a reservation in advance. There's a big green grassy area, with ample seating, and some shade at most times of the day. The water was cool but not frigid, and felt really great on a blazing hot July day. The water is spring-fed and looks like a small lake. And there's a little island in the middle that has goats on it! It costs $8 to enter, and you can rent a tube for $3/day or a boat (kayak - if one is available; it wasn't when we went), canoe, or stand-up paddle board for $10/hour. You can also bring your own tube or boat. There's parking really close by, or further away if that fills up; we were all able to get nearby parking. In the afternoons, they sell ice cream and snacks/food. There's a bar, and you can get a "bucket" of beers or hard seltzers for a good price (I think it averages to about $4/drink). You're allowed to bring in your own food, but not your own booze. I visited with friends and we stayed for a few hours; we explored in the canoe, floated, and just chilled. I'd definitely go back next time I'm in the area! read more

Great place to go! People are super chill and they have a food truck and a bar. Highly recommend trying it at least once.

Such a fun place to hang with the family and so affordable. We spent all day here eith a toddler and 8 month old. We packed a lunch but they have a restaurant here. We bought drinks from the bar and rented tubes and floated and swam and conversed with other friendly people. Was really a super fun experience while on vacation. read more

This a not so well known swimming hole that turned out to be a true hidden oasis. I will bullet point the pros and honestly have no cons. This is a solid place to swim . -Beautiful area -Water is easy to access with plenty of shallow areas to wade in and deeper areas to swim in -The folks who run the place and the restaurant are super friendly and down to Earth. -There is plenty of shade and space to spread out. -They rent tubes, paddle boards and kayaks -The restaurant has some awesome options and I see locals coming here to eat even when they aren't visiting the swimming hole -They have wine and beer that can be purchased onsite -It is dog friendly -Lots of friendly locals with fun stories One of my new favs! read more

Yikes. For a swimming hole you have to pay to access, this is not great. I'd been looking forward to checking this place out all summer after seeing some ads on Instagram. Difficult to find because of confusing signage, or lack thereof. Went to the lodge front desk to ask for directions to the swimming hole and got them, but they didn't include the part about where to park which would have been useful since it turned out not to be obvious. When we get to the entry to the swimming hole, a sign says to get wristbands from the lodge front desk. Whyyyyyyy didn't the person at the front desk offer that piece of information up when I asked where the swimming hole was? We were pretty frustrated and done at that point. I took a peek through the fence to see if it was worth trekking back up to pay for wristbands, re-park, and try again, and decided it wasn't: Very small area to set up along the water, not especially pretty compared to other swimming access points nearby, it was already crowded at 12pm, and we'd have to buy booze at the bar on-site. We drove to San Marcos and enjoyed a prettier part of the river for free with better parking. If I'm swimming in Wimberley, I'm sticking to Blue Hole or Jacob's Well. Two stars because it actually is a swimming hole that exists. read more

Such a fun place! I definitely recommend this place for families who want a fun day in the sun. The food was great and I had a blast paddle boarding around! There is even a small island with some goats who live on it‍ read more

They'll ask you for your DL to rent a paddle board and/or other items but won't hand it back to you when you turn them in (true- that it was also partially my fault for not remembering to ask for it as well) HOWEVER, after realizing I didn't get it back the next day (Monday) this is where this place (mainly management sucks in customer service area). I advised them that I would be there on Wednesday to pick up my DL, they acknowledged and said to call in the morning on the day of to confirm that I'd be on my way to get it. But when I called Wednesday they told me it was already mailed out to me. I waited over a week and nothing arrived. I live 40min away from this place so I was certain it shouldn't take more than a week to arrive so I called them again and then they explain that they don't actually mail them out themselves and just drop them off at the local post office for them to mail. After another week goes by and still nothing in the mail i decide to go to the post office myself where they allegedly dropped it off and I come to learn that they don't have it or seen the management staff there drop anything DL's "in a long time". When I drive next to the swimming hole where it all started I met with chance and Ashley the managers and was asked to leave my information for them to look into it and call me back that day since they would look into it themselves, I never heard back from them. I called the next day to ask for a follow up and was promised again a call back.. 3 days later and still nothing. Lack of follow up, my instinct tells me they threw it away and beating around the bush bc their story doesn't add up and no one continues to call me back. Now I have to go through long wait of DPS and pay for a new license. Thanks guys. Never coming back. Not to mention the water there sucks! read more

Beautiful area. Problem is with the people at the area. People lighting up cigarettes constantly, smoking weed, and peeing in the water with kids around and didn't seem to care whatsoever. Probably tourists, but as a family of 4 with kids there, pretty disappointed this time around. Been here before and had a really good experience. Lots of trashy stuff this time there. Also I think the price for the experience being $8 for an adult and $6 for kids... so trailer park Cindy can blow her nasty smoker breath on your kids is a little high. There's only so much you can do but to me, it's not the best creek to bring your kids down to swim or catch tadpoles and stuff at. read more

They are really nice people and have a great selection of beer. The water is not as clear as blue hole but it is still really a good value for what you pay. Do not pay attention to some of the negative reviews. It is more like a lake and has a soft silt bottom. Canoes are really reasonable to rent. Check it out and have a beer. My son loved it and we had a lot of fun. read more

If I were solely reviewing the bar on sight, I would give 5 stars.. the bartenders were on point! Unfortunately I didn't get names. As far as the swimming hole itself, yuck! The bottom is squishy.. squishes thru your toes squishy! The water was brown and smelled like people had been using it as their personal bathroom, despite the fact that nearby there were disgusting port a potty's with no toilet paper. The water was Luke warm and hardly offered an escape from the heat. I gave 2 stars because the island with the goats is amazing!! read more

We love this place! Inviting staff, dog friendly, wonderful food and a beautiful view! Also love that they have little boats for fishing, tubes for floating, and paddle boards for fun.

And the food... oh my goodness, the food. read more

This review goes out to not just the swimming hole....but to the little restaurant and drinkery.....the swimming hole sets up the beautiful setting for what I have recently discovered. The large number of tap and can beer compliments the setting and coupled w/some awesome dishes prepared by a former chef from my favorite restaurant that has burned down....Cypress Creek Cafe....you have a winning combination. Evenings are an awesome time to go....the rock formations and the setting sun makes you not want to give up the moment of a good brew in one hand and an awesome taco in the other. Please put it on your list of fun evenings w/friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh must mention the unfortunately the good time ends 8-8:30ish....so get there early evening. read more

Great vibes, cool bar area and has rentals available for tubes, canoes etc. don't need a reservation beforehand and very reasonably priced.

Reasonable pricing, nice people but not what I consider family friendly. Water was freezing and zero seating. We would have preferred the Blue Hole but reservations were at full capacity. read more

This turned out to be the salvation of a failed day. Our family wanted to hit a swimming hole last minute but they all wanted a reservation or we had to drive to Austin. The Back Porch has a friendly staff that was more than anxious to make us feel at home. We will definitely come back! read more
