Camping in a tent allows you to fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the Frio Canyon. Wake up to the sound of birds, fall asleep under the stars, and spend your days swimming, tubing, or exploring the trails nearby. At Camp Riverview, we’ve designed our tent camping areas to give you space, comfort, and easy access to everything that makes the Frio River special.
Unlike overcrowded campgrounds, Camp Riverview offers generous tent sites surrounded by towering trees and close to shaded riverbanks. You’ll find all tent sites have water and electricity for those who prefer a little more convenience.
What makes tent camping at Camp Riverview truly stand out is our direct river access. All tent sites are within walking distance, some just a few feet, from the Frio River, allowing you to take a dip, go tubing, or simply relax by the water whenever you like.
The Frio River is known for its cool, spring-fed flow and crystal clarity. Whether you’re floating downstream or dipping your toes in from a riverside rock, there’s no better way to beat the Texas heat. It’s a huge part of why Camp Riverview is considered one of the top destinations for tent camping on the Frio River.

Clean bathhouses with hot showers
Picnic tables and BBQ pits at each site
On-site general store for ice, firewood, and supplies
Laundry facilities
Water & electric tent sites
These thoughtful details make our campground ideal for both first-time campers and seasoned outdoor lovers alike.
