    We really loved going to a concert at this venue. The Texas Hill Country is beautiful and charming and WhiteWater Amphitheater just adds to that. We went and saw Granger Smith and he rocked the house as always! Seating for this event was set up with tables due to Covid but when the concert actually happened they were allowed to let everyone come to the stage and enjoy the concert the normal way! Awesome! The guests at the tables were able to enjoy their table for most of the concert but near the end everyone was allowed at the front. The staff was great and bartenders took care of everyone very well. Portpots were the bathrooms, which i guess since it is an outdoor venue makes sense. (although I am never ok with a portopot lol) Parking was done efficiently and we weren't waiting for hours afterwards to get out which we were all surprised about. Lots of law enforcement around so don't drink an drive, or be a jerk!

    We had an absolute blast here! We saw Willie Nelson and it was nothing but good vibes all night. The drive over is beautiful. We got there only about 30 minutes before the concert started and parked in a nearby lot. The place has such a great ambience and I was especially surprised by how good the food was! It is not your typical concession food - it is actually a really great menu with great quality ingredients and friendly staff! I wish my pictures did it justice, but there were huge portions. 1000/10 and will be back soon for another concert/dinner/drinks!!

    We love Whitewater! I'm a big fan or this place! It's not a far drive for us, it's a great venue, with great staff all the way around! They are always friendly and helpful! They also have a great amount of people there for any Emergency or issue that happens! Keep in mind, the concerts can have a lot of people so it may be crowded but people are pretty considerate of others. Parking can be busy but there are plenty of places to park outside of the venue as well. The food and drinks are good too! The nachos are very good! I enjoyed the Waterloo black cherry lemonade most recently! I would definitely recommend that one! We always enjoy ourselves when we go!

    This venue is pretty awesome and the drinks were relatively inexpensive. We parked at one of the local tubing companies who then shuttled us to and from the venue. Pretty cool music spot down by the river

    Went last weekend for Robert Earl Kens concert. Was a very nice venue and even more pleasa with limited attendance. The bar set up was pretty disappointing considering most tickets sold ahead of concert. Half way into night it was 20 min wait to get drinks. Next time I will get balcony seating......have own bar and waitresses for extra $50 per ticket.

    If I could give this venue zero stars, I would. It was truly that bad. I recently went to see Rainbow Kitten Surprise and, thankfully, they were amazing but this venue just isn't it. As someone who has worked in event management, I try not to be too harsh, but the management of this venue and event setup was honestly the worst I have ever seen. Line: If you have general admission tickets, be prepared to wait in line for at least 30 minutes. When we got to the venue, we were rudely greeted with "General Admission, get in line," and directed to a line that literally wrapped around the entire parking lot. Despite being a fairly large venue, they only have one entrance and there are three roadblocks before you actually get into the event. 1. You must get your ID checked and get a wristband, however, they only have 5 people checking this which severely slows down this process and is likely the cause of the line in the first place. 2. You have to go through security, again there are only about 4-5 lines for bag checks and metal detectors, further contributing to the already horrible bottleneck. 3. Finally, you get your ticket scanned. Once again, only a few people are managing this step for the 100s of guests waiting to get in. I fully understand that all of these actions are crucial steps but from an event management standpoint, the points of entry and workers helping out with the processes absolutely need to be expanded. Bar: You would think the line to the bar would be faster considering they don't have to be the ones checking IDs but that's definitely not the case. Luckily, there are multiple bar stations but you will still be waiting minimum of 15 minutes to get to the front. The bar menu is fine but the cocktails are pre-batched (again, this should speed things up but it doesn't). Upon checkout, the bartender who handed us water bottles and poured us three pre-batched cocktails from a tap asked "would you like to tip 20, 25, or 30%?" I'm more than happy to tip service providers but giving options starting at 20% for not even making the actual cocktails is ridiculous. Parking: Parking is VERY limited at this venue and they don't even fill it up all the way. First of all, roads get really backed up on event nights so arrive at least an hour early if you want a spot and don't want to miss any of your concert. Upon arrival, we attempted to park in the venue lot and were told it was full so we ended up parking with one of the businesses next door which was its own nightmare in itself. Once we finally got to the line to get in, which was looping throughout the parking lot, there were multiple rows of open spots that just weren't being used (see photos). Venue: Overall, I get the appeal of the venue with the trees and amphitheater setup but it just isn't worth the headache. I couldn't see the band for the majority of the concert because there's very minimal slope to GA so everyone is pretty much on the exact same level. I literally attempted to make a little mound with the gravel to stand on to at least see the band members' heads.

    Went to see Modest Mouse last night here! If you're lucky enough to be in VIP or skybox then you have the best service possible. You al get to order food aside from drinks. Drinks are bit pricy and so is bottle service but the view and ability to hear a band so well is worth it. It's right by canyon lake and you can often hear the streams. Restrooms are clean and directly below the skybox are chairs if you are disabled and need to be close to stage. One of the best pavilions around in Texas and glad to have witnessed it twice already.

    Great sound from the bands. Fantastic. That's actually the only reason Whitewater gets 3 stars... otherwise, it's a BS venue. Feels like a money-grab, and one with over-the-top ridiculous security policies. Frustrating!! This is off-the-beaten-path Hill Country Texas, y'all, at a venue thst brings 99% country performers... it's not like we're at an urban hardcore show prone to brass knuckles and thrashings They have a clear bag policy, but I still had to walk thru a metal detector, AND be wanded, AND interrogated about why my waistline and Chucks were alerting (hello??! Jeans have a metal button. Chucks have metal eyes for the laces. Ugh!), AND have my tiny little wristlet rifled thru. Parking is $15. Cash only. Water is $3. (I only know this because the beer selection absolutely *blows* - Coors Light and Blue Moon ONLY, not even Lone Star. WTF?! See what I mean about Whitewater not seeming to recognize that it IS in Texas?? Ugh!) No empty water bottles or CamelBaks are allowed. It's only a million and 3 degrees outside. Seems reasonable, right?? Eff safety, make allllll the money. Whitewater is a toob facility, but you can't rent a toob and listen from the water. (THAT might make their ridiculousness worthwhile!) Feels way like a tourist trap a la Major Name Amusement Park if choice. Doubt I'll go back.

    Very large venue, mostly standing. The sound was pretty good, and the back drop of trees behind the stage is pleasant to look at. The drinks are somewhat limited, but a standard price for a venue (beers are around $7). The bathrooms are just portapotties which is how you expect. There's a water hydration station for free water. A bit of seating space in the back near the merch areas. Parking is decent if you're about an hour early. Pay $20 to park across the street in a big gravel lot, Police directing traffic. I'd probably come back for another show, but only if It's someone I really like since I'm from Austin and it's about an hour-15 min drive.

    Ask the Community - WhiteWater Amphitheater

    Is there a section that offers "real" bathrooms or is everything just porta potties?

    All portapotties

    Has anyone taken an Uber to/from the venue? Big group of us are camping a few miles from the venue and are considering getting some Ubers.?

    I have not but talked to an uber driver about it. Apparently arrange for a pickup home after the concert with whomever dropped you off, since service is sketchy and it's super busy.

    Have GA tickets for my favorite band. 5 foot and need to be in the front. how early should I get in line if doors open at 7?

This past weekend a large group of us came to float the river and from the moment we walked in, the customer service upstairs was rude and unprofessional. The girl with dark hair and glasses working the register was extremely nasty toward our group, even though there were barely any other customers there. At one point my brother turned to ask his fiancée a question about food, and she literally waved her fingers in his face saying "jingle jingle" asking if he had his parking pass. Later, while explaining the process for getting on the bus downstairs, she said, and I quote, "when you guys have your shit together." Completely unnecessary and disrespectful. The other short dark-haired girl taking food orders was not much friendlier. We had to repeat a very simple order multiple times -- just two hot dogs and chili tater tots -- and it still came out wrong. When we went back up, I simply said I'd just pay for the tater tots separately, and instead of helping, she dug through the receipts trying to prove we were wrong. At that point I didn't even care whose mistake it was; I just wanted to buy the food and move on. The only positive part of the experience was the staff downstairs. The ladies helping with parking and the girl helping air up tubes were all friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, between the rude service and the high prices, we won't be using Lone Star for float trips again, which is sad considering how much we used to enjoy coming here.
