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.
