Son's Island

Sons Island at 110 Lee St, in Seguin, is closed. There are no alternative entrances to this particular island. It is closed until further notice. It shows open online, and people come out all day to their disappointment. Hope this saves some trips! Happy rivering ✌️

This place is an absolute unexpected treasure, very fun for kids and adults. Son's Island was super relaxing and did not break the bank. There are lots of activities and the atmosphere is wonderful. The manager, Dan is very helpful, knowledgable and buff. The other staff was nice as well. We will absolutely be back!

Got there early had to wait in line for just a little bit not to bad, they are very organized make sure you have your waiver ready to go to make sure and get in faster. Overall the place was very nice and clean. The biggest downside that we experienced was that there is no shallow beach type entrance to the water we have little kids and didn't realize that's how it would be. Water was pretty murky but very warm and comfortable which was really nice. All of the areas have plenty of shade and having power and water at the cabanas was really helpful. The BBQ pits were clean and just the right size. So close to a 5 star but honestly just wasn't what we were expecting definitely a place to check out once! Also the staff were awesome very friendly and helpful not sure what was up with all the reviews knocking the staff because they were great!

Ok, so for those of you that have read my reviews, you know they are very detailed. So to start off, the place is fairly easy to find. It is in the corner of a residential neighborhood. As a part of booking son's island, each member of your party has to have their own waiver form, and as far as I can tell, before you check in, you have to have everybody's form printed and you give it to the gate keeper. It seems like overkill to me, but whatever. When you get there, they will direct you to the guard shack (photo below). So you drive up there and they will allow you to drive your car to your cabana, and unload and then come back and park your car where they designate. Ok so this is a plus. Each day cabana does have about 11 seats not counting the picnic table. They have several Day Cabanas, but you need to be careful about which ones you book. The only ones where the river is actually in motion are A12 - A18. All of the rest that I could see are next to stagnate water which from my perspective is unacceptable. Ok to swim in I guess but stagnate water has mosquitos, a nasty smell, and can be fairly dirty. Fortunately I got A15, so we were good there. When it comes to price, they are seriously over priced for a family of 4. The rental was like 180.00 which lasted from 10:00 AM to 7:30PM that day. You get up to 8 people on that rental, so if you can split the money among several people, then maybe it would be worth it. In addition to that, they will nickel and dime you to death. You can rent kayaks, splash pads, and paddle boards for a price. As far as safety, you need to remember you are at a river, and the bottom is lined with rocks that are varying sizes so make sure you are wearing some sort of foot wear, and you are extremely careful when climbing in. I didnt see anywhere that you could get food and drinks, not even a vending machine, so make sure you bring plenty of supplies. Lastly, the tents are totally not worth it. You only get the tent from 7:30PM to 10:00 AM the next day (if I remember correctly) and if you do not have a day cabana reservation for the next day, you will have to leave the property. They require you to book the tent and the day cabana separately, and unless you book extremely early, it is going to be very difficult to get a tent and a day cabana for the next day, let alone tent, and day cabana for multiple days. In addition to that, the tents are extremely close together, and they are like 195.00 per night. I quickly cancelled my tent reservation when I found out you had to leave the property if you didnt have a day cabana reservation. If I remember correctly, my total was like 534.00 for a tent for 2 nights and 1 day cabana reservation. We decided to keep the day cabana reservation and got a hotel for 3 nights for the same amount of money the 2 tents would have cost. Dont get me wrong, this is a great place for a medium sized family gathering as long as you get the right spot and you share the cost, but just not for any type of overnight stay. I hope you enjoyed this review!

Went this weekend and it never disappoints. The views are breathtaking, there is plenty to do on the island, and the cabanas are perfectly spaced. We had space A11 with a large floating pad in case anyone just wanted to lounge. Each cabana had its own pit, a hammock, and electrical sockets to charge phones or accessories. There is plenty of seating and table space available. This is a very relaxing and fun place to visit. It is becoming a yearly family trip.
