Yea the Comal is pretty boring unless you do the tube shute around 100 times. The Guadalupe can also be boring if the river flow isnt too good.
Personally the Guadalupe is much better for a longer float but on the 4th there are TONS of people that will be there. The horseshoe is fun but I prefer the natural tube shute that is a little bit farther down the river. Just do a long float and youll be good and hammered.

Beer bongs and camp fires etc.
Cops are tough on underage drinking. Most the time if the minors are honest you get away with a warning and you get to dump ur beer. Most smart mouth minors go straight to jail.
---------Little secret
-------If you go up river road toward the damn(pink building on right), there is a lady who sells tubes w/bottoms for cheap compared to the local daily pricing. Buy some rope at home depot to tie the bottom to the tube. (50 ft. 1/4" nylon rope about 12 bucks)

Where do most of the college crowd go? What about night life? Any good bars in New Braunfels? I was underage the last time I went (like 8 years ago!) so I didn't go out or anything. Okay so would you guys recommend camping instead of a hotel? I want to go out with my buds and have a hell of a time where a lot of people are and girls girls girls and drinking and PARTYS Where do most of the college crowd go? What about night life?

I have a blast every time I go. I seem to hook up w/peeps the next day to float...makes it way more entertaining.

Ive been when the river was as low as around 50 CFS and as high as 400 CFS. 50 blew *** and the 400 was pretty damn fun and outrageous. Id love to do it again when its that high.
Well the river on the 4th is pretty much a floating bar! Its damn fun and well its basically just a good time ANYTIME you go.
By all means go camping if you can find a spot. Its pretty close to the 4th so you might have a hard time getting a spot down. Its a blast to camp on the river and there are a lot of spots that have sprung up in the past 5 years so it might be easier to get a campsite.
I usually get my cammelback and fill it up, take my backpack fill it with beer, grab a flashlight and infiltrate campsites...you meet tons of peeps and you can use the beer as re-fills for the cammelback or offer it as trade-up's for other campsite alcohol:
jello-shots, keg stands, etc.

Yea thats why my family has said. I used to go every year at least 2-3 times a year and have done the comal many many times because I have an aunt that lives about a block away from it.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to camp or just get a hotel. It would be cheaper to camp and maybe even more fun I guess
CAMP!!! Seriously. If you get a hotel you STILL have to rent all the tubes and stuff at the outfitters and pay for parking regardles. If you camp you can usually get a good deal on tubes (50% off), dont have to pay for parking and you dont have to drive on river road on the 4th which SUCKS. If you do want to camp Id start looking now and book really fast. The places to camp get full fast around the holidays.
It will be busy but it will still be a blast. Last time I went it was the weekend after the 4th and it was still pretty packed but its great fun.
What usually happens is there will be a HUGE group formed. Im talking like 150-200 people just floating all together and partying. Its something youve got to experience I guess bc its really hard to explain.

I appreciate the help guys, I'm glad I get to hear from people who have done it before. I seem to read a lot more people recommend the Comal river for younger adults. I think I'm just confusing myself more and more now on what to do....Comal or Guadalupe....camp or hotel....and where all the hot spots are
Well with the new river rules the Comal is kind of a pain. No coolers over 16 oz in size. Nothing smaller then 5 oz which means no shots or jello shots and so on. They put them into place because it was becoming really bad on the river apparently. As soon as you go into city limits you can get tickets for that stuff.
Camp, guadalupe and try to get in the campgrounds that are plenty up river.

I think I agree with you now about the Comal rules being a pain...it seems that if you are doing the "horseshoe" part of the Guadalupe, the rules aren't as strict...which I kinda like.
Let me make sure I'm reading this correctly: The horseshoe is the part on the right in the teal, correct?

That is correct. Anything above the 1st river crossing is in the teal area. The rules havent changed at all for that area.
If you plan on getting drunk dont just do the short horseshoe area as its a pretty short float and youll have to get out and walk a mile then do it again. Being drunk makes that mile really hard to do. At least go thru the natural tube shute area also.
