- Why and where do we have to RSVP?
To RSVP you can do it on our website or if you are member of a “Lifestyle” website you can do it there. Most of the larger swinger’s sites have this event listed and have there own RSVP list. The reason it’s so important to RSVP is that we use these lists for check in at the campground. It is just on of the measures we use to make sure no outsiders camp in our area and if you’re not on the list we have to come to the office and verify that you are who you say you are.

Besides the normal camping stuff like tent, bed, cooler, ect. The best rule of thumb to go by is if you think you might need it and you have the room to bring it, then BRING IT!

No, there is parking all along the open field area so that makes it very easy for people camping in that area.

There is one exception to the parking, if you have a RV then you may stay hooked to the RV or you must park in the parking area.

- Can we save spots for friends that are coming later?
Only if you have their tent and set it up for them. This helps us in two ways; one we know how large or small their tent is so that we can maximize the space for other tents. Two if you have their tent they are more likely to show up and you are not holding a spot for someone who never shows up.

- We are wondering what the river policy is on alcohol on the river. Is it bottles only this year? No cans or glass?
There is no change that I can find from past years. The area of the river where our group float takes place is up river from New Braunfels so there new rules do not apply unless you float past our campground. Go to http://www.riversportstubes.com/Guadalupe_and_Comal_River_Rules.html There you will find all the rules for both sides of the river. We will be fallowing the rules in blue.

- Are jello shots allowed on the river?
No open plastic containers of 5 fluid ounces or less are permitted on Comal County rivers (which includes the Guadalupe River).

Jello Shots have NOT been outlawed, only containers that are 5 ounces or smaller have been banned. You can still bring your Jello Shots in containers larger that 5 ounces.
