I have written a
post about how to find information on road, weather, lakes and rivers.
As far as the San Marcos River, it is as it always was. A little faster flowing. It comes directly from the aquifer, so unless it has rained in San Marcos, the water is crystal clear.
Note: Children and weak swimmers need to wear life jackets. If you go past Rio Vista (where the shuttle picks you up), then you need to know what you are doing. Drop me a note on my RV blog and I will be happy to help you.
There is an RV park called
Wolf Creek Ranch on the San Marcos River, and is located at 19577 San Marcos Hwy, San Marcos, TX 78666 (Phone 512-392-7044).
The closest RV Park to the San Marcos Outlet Mall is
Canyon Trail RV.
Pecan Park is on the San Marcos River and you can float from City Park in San Marcos to it. See note above.
Leisure camp (no website) is located in Fentress, Texas on the San Marcos. You cannot float down to here from San Marcos. (512) 488-2563

One place people never seem to mention is the Blanco River. At Five Mile Dam is a wonderful place to swim unless it has been raining.
For pictures and information see this post.
Lockhart State Park and McKinney Stae Park are close enough to commute to San Marcos, Austin, and New Braunfels.
