Everything you need to know about the 2022 swim season at Wimberley’s Blue Hole

Staff Reports

WIMBERLEY — Blue Hole Regional Park is a natural, spring-fed swimming hole, lined with Cypress trees located deep in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. The whole family will enjoy swimming in crystal clear water, sunbathing on the grassy swim lawn, and of course, swinging into the water on the famous rope swings.

Reservations for the 2022 Swim Season open on March 1, 2022. Blue Hole is open for swimming starting weekends in May, every day from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and close the season with weekends in September. Two time slots are avaliable from 9 am to 1 pm or 2 pm to 6 pm. The park also features 5 beautiful limestone picnic tables that are available to privately reserve.

“This beautiful, iconic Texas swimming hole should be on the top of your vacation calendar this summer. The cool water offers a relief from the summer heat and there is something to do for the whole family,” said Richard Shaver, Director of Wimberley Parks and Recreation. “The 126-acre park includes 4 miles of hiking trails, picnic areas, sports fields, and more, but make sure to make those reservations for the swimming area when you can.”

Season Passes are also available! Pass holders do not need to make a reservation and are able to come and go anytime during operating hours. Wimberley Residents (78676) will be able to purchase season passes on March 1st. Non-residents will be able to purchase season passes beginning April 1st.

Kids will also enjoy the Blue Hole Nature Camp! This camp is a weekly day camp program that the Wimberley Parks and Recreation Department provides to the nature-conscious youth of the community, ages 6 to 12 and a Counselor in Training program ages 13 to 15. Campers learn camping skills, explore native Texas wildlife and their habitats, basic archery skills, local flora, and fauna, conserving our natural resources, and of course traditional camp games!
