Alcohol is allowed on the river and on private property, and Concan & Utopia were recently voted to be a wet precinct. Alcohol is available for purchase at multiple locations. Various businesses are working on building beverage barns and bars. Keep an eye out, and try to shop local! Alcohol is also available for purchase in Hondo, Leakey, Uvalde, or Sabinal before you head in. We suggest taking a photo of the Liquor n’ Guns sign at Bottle n’ Bag Liquor Store in Uvalde! Be sure to drink responsibly, and never drink and drive!

Most networks will not work in the Concan area. AT&T is your best bet, and many cabins have WiFi, so be sure to ask. You can always stop by the Visitors Center for free WiFi. Even if we are not there, enjoy the fresh air at our patio table because WiFi works there too! Please remember, don’t text and drive.

Please check the Uvalde County Office of Emergency Management website (http://www.uvaldeoem.org/index.htm) for status on burn ban and weather. You can also call the Visitor’s Center for up to date information at 830-232-4310.

Burn Bans must be obeyed or fines determined by Uvalde County will be assessed. Do not have an outdoor fire other than in the barbecue pit if it is very windy. No fires may be built along the river

Each lodge has a specified dumpster location. All guests are responsible for picking up their own trash and placing it in the dumpster provided. Be prepared with your own trash bags, as each rental may only provide enough to get your stay started. Please do not leave any food items/garbage outside cabins or RVs as it will attract unwanted critters.
Fireworks and discharging any type of firearms including BB guns, slingshots, water balloons, etc. is prohibited.
