The H. E. Butt Foundation maintains five
separate self-contained retreat facilities on its property 12
miles north of Leakey on Texas Highway 83. Continuously
flowing springs feed the river and waterfront areas with cool,
crystal-clear water surrounded by rugged rock bluffs.
Many species of Texas Hill Country wildlife can be glimpsed
along the cliffs and among the cedar brakes and hardwood
trees. Comfortable wood and stone facilities provide
wonderful opportunities for retreat and renewal.
Each site has a fully equipped kitchen
and dining area, an open-air meeting pavilion, and cabins with
bunk beds. Each site has its own waterfront as well as
other recreational opportunities. Most buildings are
heated but not air-conditioned. No linens, bedding,
toiletries, or cleaning supplies are provided.
Facilities at Comanche Outpost are
rustic—screened-in buildings with a central bathhouse—and
because they are not heated, they are not available November 1
to March 1. Facilities at Echo Valley and Singing Hills
are not available from May through mid-August.
NOTE: The H. E. Butt Foundation
Camp is a private facility and not open to the general public
for sightseeing or recreation. Campers must be
pre-registered through their group organization. Day
visitors are not permitted.
