Kayak Camping the Frio River – Her First Trip!
The Frio River is a spring fed oasis in the middle of an arid region. We spent 2 days paddling through the Texas wilderness tent camping on an island and hiking up rapids.
I started a dry bag company, Remote Designs!

looks a great river to swim down … beautiful shots and great gf to have!
Nice camp!
Lisa did great.
Weird music made me sad
Your videos are so high quality 😮
Great trip report, dude. I’m going to head down and paddle the Frio during the Eclipse next month. It’s probably going to be packed down there, eh?
Love the music too! Do you have a list of your music selections?
Been a family tradition of ours for well over 50
Years! Now I get to take my girls for the first time this year… absolutely my favorite place in the world!
I am rewatching, you introduced us to the Frio and Caddo Lake last year. We’re going to spend a few days next week at Garner State Park. Anywhere in particular we should go/not go?
Texas really has some beautiful, clear rivers 😍
Beautiful! I wish you shared where you dropped and got off .
What part of the river do you start in? Do you have a reference in case I want to go? Looks beautiful
yeah lisa!!! i just started out kayking too <3
What a First Class adventure video! A most pleasant 14 minute interlude. So well done.
My wife and I used to do cool stuff like this, and then we had kids.
Great video! I love the Frio – grew up camping here every summer, and now take my family. Hoping to plan a surprise kayaking trip for me and my hubby somewhere in Texas soon – do you have any good resources for kayak "trails"? Drop ins/pick ups/campsites? Any cool resources for planning would be appreciated, thanks!
How bout some details, we’re did you park , where did let in? How do yo get back to your vehicle after the trip. Newbi here to this experience…
That place is incredible! Lisa, you looked like a seasoned pro. Hope you both get out there and do that kind of stuff often. Not everyday that a guy gets lucky enough to find a woman who is willing to rough it a little sometimes in order to have a great time.
🍔🍺🏖️🐾🐾🐾🐾🤪😆🙂😋
Man i want to kayak that river so bad and what a date bro
This looks amazing. I am really looking forward to checking the Frio out someday soon.
I’m so glad that a friend recommended your channel to me the other day. I am really enjoying watching all your adventures and the production of your videos is top notch! Great content!
Well done sir!!
Hey Gatewood….. this if you old friend from Kentucky. Very excited to purchase some of your gear. Keep up the excellent work. Let me know next time you stop by KY
can you please let me know the name of the kayak?
Where did y’all put in at?
What goggles are those with the orange reflective lenses??!!!
I really like this show
Man happy to run into your channel I been looking into taking trips like this but to catfish our rivers here in texas to share. Been fishing Guadalupe, Medina , Llano, San Antonio River my hole life. Been a youtuber for awhile but film cars & trucks looking to share my fishing adventures soon!!
what time of year were you kayaking down there?
Excellent. Good to have a wife willing to go with you. I count myself blessed, coming up on 37 years of marriage and still kayaking together.
Just ran into this video. Really great job and it looks like the two of you had a great time! My family and I and some very close neighbors used to camp on the Frio starting back in the early 70’s. I was about 11 years old but I promised myself that someday I would own a piece of the fabulous Frio River. About 27 years ago I was fortunate enough to purchase 3 acres with riverfront. I (and family and friends) have never regretted it! I go there every chance I get. I recognized almost everywhere you two filmed (LOL). Sorry to get to this video so late – but keep up the great job!
When was this that you went? I have a trip planned for early September and I’m hoping the river is not too low. Thx!
What’s a good place to start and end? I wanna make a trip with my girlfriend.
What a great video, I can incorporate this advice with my daughters! Cheers!
Thanks so much for your content. Much enjoyed please keep it coming.
this place looks so unreal !
New to the lake life, new to your channel, new subscriber 🛶🔥✨
Can those kayaks take a beating over rocks?
I must be overlooking your put in and take out location?
Where did you park your car at to start the camping?
her freaking voice man 😂 how do you get past that
Y’all are killing it! You are lucky to have a partner that is willing to go out and explore with you. Great job Lisa!
Where did you all put in at?
I know this was 2 years ago but if you ever plan a trip like this again, I would like to get my wife on this river and camping but I’m from Florida and wouldn’t know where to start. I have the gear but the planning is not in my wheelhouse.
Good job dude.
Stunning. You guys deserved it
Ive always been into kayak fishing.. but never ventured too far from the launch. Watching these videos inspired me to branch out so to speak.. i did a 25 mile boomerang on one of the local rivers here in louisiana.. camped on a random island i found.. It was fantastic apart from the heat.. and i rhi k my kayak is a bit heavy to do long trips. 77 pounds by itself.. keep up the inspritational videos! If yall ever do a trip in Louisiana, id love to take part…
Amazing content guys definitely killed it!!
me and my adult son are wanting to head to the frio river mid week next week. just a 1 day trip. Could you recommend a good launch and take out? Possible shuttle service and over night lodging?
Thanks!
HI FIVE LISA
Great video, the only thing that i wish I saw was a dog or 2! My dogs are living their best life when i take them kayak camping
Nice job Lisa!
