Yippee ki-YAAAY!
Blanco, TX | Riverfront Glamp-ground | 18 Acres | Sleeps 14

Wishing you could go back to summer camp? Or maybe you're a little too old now and really enjoy A/C? If exploring 18 acres of a former 1940's Girl Scout camp while yelling out, "yeehaw" mid-cannonball into a historic TX river is on your bucket list, Camp Blanco will help you check it off.

From girl scouts to glamp outs, Camp Blanco is rooted in the history of its land and has been updated for a new generation of campers. Those who seek connection with the beauty and essence of the Texas hill country landscape, while also connecting with friends and family. Oh and s'mores.

Set amongst towering pecan and oak trees along 600 feet of the Blanco River, sits The Ranger, The Brownie, The Kookaburra & The Daisy.

THE RANGER (Sleeps 4)
The Ranger stone house once served as the Camp Blanco Lodge and welcomes you with exterior and interior natural stone that makes you feel at one with nature. The home features a beautiful living room with massive fireplace, lounge area, 2-bedrooms (one bedroom with a king size bed and one bedroom with two single beds), 1.5 baths, open kitchen and an inviting front porch where you can learn a G-chord or look for wild turkey (The animal kind silly! The bar is inside).

THE BROWNIE (Sleeps 6)
The Brownie bunkhouse sits directly next to the Ranger and is newly outfitted with 2 full-size bunks and twin trundles underneath. Don't forget to call “Top Bunk!” if that's your thing. There is a kitchenette, living, and dining space that's perfect for kids and guests who need a little extra space.

THE KOOKABURRA
The Kookaburra game room is really more than a room, because it's actually a 3-car garage that has been decked out with every game imaginable: pool table, poker table, shuffleboard, foosball, and an 82" TV for movies and more.

THE DAISY (Sleeps 4)
The Daisy guest house was where Camp Blanco admin would do admin-y stuff with calculators and paperwork and now it's WAY more fun as a vintage guest house. Featuring 2 bedrooms with a queen size bed each home, 1 bath, a fireplace, and a 2 car carport, this is a great place to spread out your cabin mates comfortably.

Take the road or trail below Red Bluff where you'll be greeted by your own private grass land that is like having an entire park to yourself and leads to 600 feet of Blanco river frontage.

The Outdoor Pavilion is ready for your friendship-bracelet-making or campfire songs you can belt out around the fireplace inside this unique waterfront open-air structure. Stash your river toys here for easy access to your water fun!

This idyllic setting that once served The Girl Scouts and has now been revived and reimagined is ready for you to make your own memories. Come explore the peaceful and private historic 18 acres of Camp Blanco and don't forget to write home while you're there.

Amazing Weekend Getaway with Friends

Awesome stay at Camp Blanco. The property is magnificent - right in the heart of Texas wine country - it provided a great place to hang, cook, and fish with a bunch of friends catching up for a long weekend. Thanks for everything!

Mother’s Day with the Fam

We made some wonderful memories this weekend! The property has three beautiful houses in close proximity within each other and an incredible game room! We explored Blanco’s restaurants and shopping scene, golfed and even caught a huge catfish! Lodgewell was very responsive and took a huge interest in our stay!
