Kayak Camping Texas - the Frio River is Paradise! 

As a native Texan that grew up enjoying all the wonderful rivers in Texas! The frio is one of the last “cleaner” rivers in the entire state. Please visit and enjoy, but do not take glass onto the river and take out everything you brought in!! ❤️

I learned to swim in this beautiful river when I was 3 years old. ❤️

You guys make this look so much fun. You are blessed to have a group of guys to hang out with

This has been an annual family tradition since my father was a child. I started going here when I was 4 years old. I dream about being there everyday. I’m now 36 and we still spend a week here every summer...#greatestplaceonearth #welcometotexas

How can I not visit this beautiful river, I live in Texas. I'm adding it to the list. Stunning...

12:50 mark, the water sparkled like jewels. Having never been to Texas I am amazed at the beauty. WOW

The little Walmart Kayaks! hahaha great video! looks incredible. can't wait to do the same trip.

I've been binge watching your videos and the smiles were the whole story! Great video. On with watching more! Thank you for making us feel like we were right there in a boat with all of you!

Fantastic video gents! Looked like an amazing time. We are so blessed to have the Hill Country here in Texas!

Just started kayaking, have fallen in love with it. I learn a lot from your videos. Thanks for sharing!

Your videos have been such an inspiration to me. Thank you for posting. I'm homesick for Texas!

Thanks for a reminder of how blessed I am. I live a couple of miles upriver from where you put in on RR1120. So greetings from Rio Frio, tx.

combining three of my favorite things; camping, yaking, and OUTDOORS! great vid, thanks for sharing

Have spent years tubing and kayaking the Frio, was lucky enough to do my first swiftwater rescue class on it in Concan back in 2007. Very good video.

My friends and I have been watching this video for over a year, meticulously planning a trip to the Frio because of this video. The time is finally here and we are going to be paddling April 18! Also love the lowdown drifters hat 🧢 those guys are friends of ours ❤

Kayak camping , there’s something I haven’t tried yet but now have to

damn man i just came across this channel really good editing!

What an exciting video. Great music, great footage, great adventure. We will make it out to the Frio some day soon. Thanks y'all, you Rock

Thats one of my favorite places on planet earth. Frio river and all its surroundings are so damn beautiful. It's one of those places you don't want to leave.

Love the artistry of your film. This is a neighboring town to my family’s hometown and I greatly appreciate how much you appreciate what a treasure it is.

Just did my first kayaking trip on The Colorado River! It was fun! I am thinkin' Frio River soon!

Great video! Looks like a pretty awesome trip through one of the most beautiful areas in Texas.

I cannot count how many times I have swam in the Frio River. It is simply the best.

Been on the Frío for years but limited to Garner state park. Didn’t know the Frío was so beautiful. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Gotta try some time.

I’ve been going to the Frio for summers for as long as I can remember :) ❤️

Dang this looks like it was a blast. A fun mix of flat water and rapids. Thanks for opening my eyes to this great area.

Been down that river a few times like this but we were fishing. Usually in the later parts of winter. Caught plenty of fish and had great times. Will never forget them. Hope you all continue to have so much fun.

Your videos are so great. You laugh, you have fun. All your "oh dudes and oh no's" make me smile. I've sent this to several friends, hope to visit your beautiful waterway. ❤️

Excited to see your 2019 adventures. This place looks epic!

*this is so beautiful on my list of places to go thanks to you*

Mr Brown awesome video I am going this June with my family for the first time new to to your channel keep doing your awesome videos . Hope to see you guys one day

Hello. Keep posting your vids. I live in Texas. Since this Pandemic began there has been a huge increase in Texans exploring our national and state parks! It is amazing. There is so much to see here in Texas! 🙏🏼

Fantastic video, you guys always have so much fun it’s great to watch. Can’t wait to get out onto the water 🛶

Wow. I'm really glad I found this channel. Awesome video. Awesome music. I love videos like this. Your passion for the outdoors is very prevalent and inspires me to get out there and explore and adventure more than I already do. Vids like this just keep my hunger for the outdoors alive and thriving. I've been backpacking for a few years now but want to try a kayak camping trip. I'm so appreciative of the endless beauty our state has to offer. "With the right mindset and a willingness to adventure, just have to go for it" Only true outdoor enthusiasts say or understand that. Thanks. I just subscribed.

Wow! Excellent video and great adventures! From the great state of Texas here, I'm not too wildly far from the Frio, so I might just make it out there sooner than later thanks to you. Keep up the good work! You've earned a subscriber.

I need more friends like this that want to explore and kayak!

I went kayaking for the first time today… that river is beautiful you guys are having too much fun 🤩 😍

The undertow at the little waterfall can be gnarly! Definitely thought he was going under!!!

It sure is. I can attest to that. It's so beautiful and fun !

Wow! We've always wanted to explore the Frio but never have. Beautiful vid! Thanks for the tour!

Gatewood Brown this was one of the most awesome kayak/ camp videos I have ever seen! You and your friends are living the good life out there brother! Some really good memories were made there those days. Im really enjoying your style of videos, keep em coming broski!

Hi from Europe. Great vid, great river, great trip. Amazing content. Love it.

I’m so impressed, I’m a full on whitewater kayaker and I have a whitewater boat and all the gear, been on class III rapids and I’m so impressed in how you handled in these boats. Huge inspiration, I started the same way, in a flatwater kayak on the river, laughing and just spending time with friends. Really impressed, keep sending!

That water looked chilly. Texas isn't short on beautiful spots to kayak.

Dude I don't know how you do it, but you just keep upping your game man. Some incredible editing and another awesome location. I had no idea TX had this many spring fed rivers. Looked like an amazing trip from start to finish! Keep on keeping on Brother!

First off, the production quality of this is amazing. Really nice work. You should be very proud. Second, I'm totally inspired to take a trip to Texas now. We have our fair share of crystal clear spring runs here in Florida, but the Frio looks absolutely stunning.

Looks like another epic trip! Nice job putting it all together, GB!

I love that music especially starting around the 3:16 minute mark..I can't stop dancing!!!!!

This is my idea of a perfect vacation.

The camera work and the songs in this video are amazing! I knkw this was a year ago but that was a amazing video!

Learned to swim in the Frio 20 years ago.. Great video! Thanks for taking me back.

Great video! Awesome trip report! Can’t wait to one day kayak the Frio!

I being to Frío a few times, I have never seen that spring 😩 looking forward to go this summer too ❤️ great video!!!

Love this river content. Texas Rivers are amazing. Def subbing.

Monster waterfall. Lol. You had me for a bit. Looks like so much fun

The Frio is awesome. I’m partial to the Blanco because of my aunt living across the street from it . You can’t beat the hill country rivers.

The Frio river is the best! I live only 20 minutes away from there🙃

You should do the San Marcos and start out at the headwaters :)

Wow, awesome video!! What a beautiful place! You guys had an amazing adventure!

Would highly recommend taking a river skills lesson from a certified instructor and always wearing a life jacket zipped & snug. When you need it, you don’t want to fumble around trying to get it snugged up. Almost all drownings occur from lack of secure life jacket. Loved the enthusiasm in your video! So many fun rivers in Texas! Thanks for sharing.

I've fished the frio b4.... just looked for fish from the cliffs and dropped a hook on them....easiest grilled catfish ever

I wish I had friends to do this with 😥

Great video work guys....thanks so much.....loved every second....🤗🤗🤗

Nice editing Sir. Thanks for taking us along. The Hill Country speaks to my soul so very much.

So where would you recommend putting in and getting out for a 3 day 2 night trip?

What an awesome trip! Where did y'all put in and take out?

Who cares where your kayak came from. It gets you out on the water and I have an a blast with it. Enjoy. That’s the important thing.My kayak came from Costco and I will tell you it’s my prize possession. I have had so much fun with that thing it’s priceless.

Love your videos!! Your trips just look like so much fun! Keep up the great work. Subscribed!

I would love to do this rout ! Where do y’all park and launch from and end ?? Also what’s the best time of year to go to this rout ? 😊 also great video 👍🏼

"It's way too cold out to swim" Proceeds to kayak with shirt off and no bibs through class 2 rapids

I loved this video! Great job making it and sharing it for all of us!

Hi Gatewood. I got hooked on your videos a couple of months ago. I’m from a small town in the Easter cape - South Africa called Port Alfred. Beautiful place with many rivers and estuaries within 30 minutes drive. I currently use a wilderness system Atak 140 which I’ve done plenty of mods on. My 7 year old daughter and I normally kayak at least 3 times a month on a Saturday. We have watched your videos a lot more than a couple of times and Texas looks great. I have plenty of pics but no edited videos. Maybe one day you and some friends should come this side and I would happily be your tour guide. Anyway thanks for the awesome videos. I always feel uplifted and excited for my next kayaking adventure after watching your videos. 👍🏻👍🏻

Wow the water is beautiful thank you for sharing make me happy there's just something about Nature's and water that makes me really happy

Outstanding video, amigo. The yellow paddle diving into the crystal clear water at the beginning of the video was an attention-getter. I was committed to staying tuned till the end. I've yakked the coast and local rivers and lakes, but haven't done the Frio. I'm inspired. Thanks for sharing your amazing work.

Sign me up,! Good morning , America the Beautiful ☀️ I was amazed to see how much gear you were packing. I would have never guessed u can put that much stuff on kayak. Great video. Great commentary

I’ve only kayaked once in posmo beach and now this video has pushed me to buying my own! Great video man!

This video is very inspiring and extremely well done, nice work great adventure!

Looks like a lot of fun!! Awesome people, place, and video! New subscriber From New Orleans❤

I love seeing your smiles. Such a happy video

Awesome videography! Looking forward to potential future updates! Wish I had a crew like this for my adventures!!

Keep on feeding your soul. Sending you so much love and blessings 🙏😘❤️

I'm a YACKER down in Alabama ! I love the cossa River in Wetumpka Al. I love kayaking anywhere! You guys rock ! I will be planning a trip with the Hubs to do this. Maybe a couple of friends too. This is beautiful !

Love this! I'm going to put the Frio on my bucket list! Thanks!

Bennett Brown, the baddest fiddle player in all the land! Awesome video, this is on my bucket list!

That is so beautiful wow. I want to come and paddle right now. Thanks for sharing

Crazy wonderful! Thanks for drone clips also!

Never realized the Frio was so beautiful! Thank you!!

You make great videos and I love how much you appreciate the nature you're in.

Dude! Your vids = epic! (you got talent) Keep em' coming, please!

Glad you made another trip and shared it with us. #livingthedream

Love your video's you have a great spirit that comes through, good to see Texas boy's doing it right 😎😎😎

Thumbs up for Trampled by Turtles. My family pioneered the Frio area. It’s a beautiful place.

Super! Looks like so much fun!

Awesome edit!! Another stellar video and trip!!

WOW, what an awesome-looking river.

This looks so cool! So glad I moved to Texas! Going to visit this lake this summer 🥰 Thanks for sharing

Definitely something we haven't spent the time to do here in Texas. Many places like San Marcos, etc. have tubing down their rivers...and wow the Frio River looks amazing!

That water is running very nicely!! Love this place

Felt like I was tagging along. Excellent video. Thanks.
