BLANCO, TX Located just 45 miles north of San Antonio on US Hwy 281. Blanco was settled in 1853 by pioneer stockmen, former Texas Rangers, immigrants and their families.

Visit any of the shops, galleries or restaurants and you will see why Blanco is known as "Having the Warmest Welcome in the Texas Hill Country". There are motels and bed & breakfasts, just minutes from downtown and the Blanco State Park.

The Blanco River, which meanders through the southern edge of this Hill Country town, provides not only the community´s drinking water, but also its most popular tourist attraction. The river is the focal point of Blanco State Park, one of the state´s smaller parks and most picturesque. It is one of only a few state parks with camping facilities located within a city, making supplies and small-town amenities readily available.

Located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, Blanco State Park is especially popular with overnight campers from Austin, San Antonio, and Houston looking to escape big city stress and rush hour traffic (Blanco boasts one red light!). Many come simply to enjoy quiet evenings with family or friends around a campfire. Others climb out of the river and strip off their swimsuits long enough to sleep.

There are plenty of quaint Bed and Breakfasts available for lodging while in the Blanco area.
