Definitely will not be back!!! Cashier lady was rude, we usually go through Andy on the river but water was very low so we called this place and the lady was like it's 50/50 walk and float, well that was a huge lie it was more like 90/10 we walked the whole way except at the very end right and the exit!! It was horrible Definitely won't be back

We went into the store and rented tubes to float in and a floating tube for our cooler. The lady said we would walk for about 5 minutes, which was a lie. we walked about 90% of the river. Not only did we carry the tubes most of the time, we had to drag the cooler with us, too. My feet were hurting for a few days after walking on all them rocks. So make sure you talk to someone first and ask how much water is in the rivet first.

We have been here several times over the last 15 or so years. This place is always great, the people are always friendly. We had to do almost as much walking as we did floating, but we had fun as always.

This place has everything you need to enjoy tubing down the river. I went on July 3rd. The water level was extremely low. There were multiple places where you had to walk. However, the water was crystal clear, and the temperature was nice, keeping you cool. Great summer activity.

Floated other areas of the river this trip, lots of walking on most. Happy hollow route was the our favorite and most comfortable by far. My daughter caught a butterfly at the beginning of the float and apparently it’s our new pet.

Happy Hollow is a great place to start your float at the Frio river in Concan, Texas. Very friendly people with plenty of items in the store. Rates are reasonable. They will shuttle you to the departure point and you float back to the starting point at their store. It’s about a two hour float if you don’t stop.

BEST place to stay on the Frio ! We come here every year . The swimming hole is deep enough and it’s the perfect chill place on the river . Plus Happy Hallow also provides shuttle services so you can tube .

(July 2022) after encountering a over occupancy state park we thought all was lost. I turn to google for answers. As i dove deeper into an answer parked outside said state park i stumbled upon a post about river access and $15 .HENCE began my experience with this amazing establishment. Not only did they have a very clean and well thought out layout but they are by far the most respectful and family orientated river outfitter staff i have ever encountered. Biggest perk is that they have rugged brand items at a non inflated price. I hate purchasing off brand items in other locations and the items only lasting me one trip. Over all the river access is what i wanted . I’m glad i didn’t go to the state park this year things happen for a reason. The best part of trips is the spontaneous change of plans that you have no idea where they will end. This spot is a must try and make sure to drop some money in the college fund. Thank you happy hollow for making another memory for my family possible

In a drought ridden summer devoid of any long floating trips, Happy Hollow provides a happy remedy indeed. Cute, fun, family friendly place. This section of the Frio is spring fed and is not dry. A great place to float, sit in the river with friends, relax and play. Parking on both sides of Hwy 83. Convenience store, souvenirs, etc. There are vacation accommodations on site above river. Friendly, helpful staff. Price was about $15/person if just visiting to swim and float. (July 2022) Would definitely visit again!!

Right now the water is so low, they advise against doing the float unless you absolutely want to so full respect for them saying so. If you want to hit the Frio, just do the day swim pass and hang out for a few hours. Wonderful experience!

Great one-stop-shop for any and everything you need to spend time on the Frio River. We visited this spot a couple of years ago when the river was running, and it was a fantastic time. The shuttle takes you up the river a ways and then to float back down to Happy Hollow. We went on July 9th, 2022 and the river isn’t running, but we were still able to enjoy the deep water behind the shop and had a great time in the river. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Seemed like a nice place before the crowd of college age young adults started getting drunk and rowdy. Two women started making out in the middle of everything. Definitely NOT KID FRIENDLY atmosphere! Disappointed considering we paid $15/person and had to leave. Sad the owners allow this kind of behavior which deters families. Definitely won’t be going back.

Water was low but they have a large section of the river close that 6 to 8 feet deep. We just floated there all day. Had a great time
