★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1We were there for Duchenne family camp. Everything was wheelchair accessible for the kids. The cabins, campground, staff & activities were perfect! Can’t wait to return!
March 09 · Rae LoranceMy kids had alot of fun, all the activities were carefully planned out. From horse back riding to archery and fishing it was a great experience. The volunteers and staff were really knowledgeable and friendly that made the experience even more enjoyable.
March 02 · KrZ8nUkErAtOrI went to camp with my school for 3 days and two nights the food and activities were pretty good the only thing I did not enjoy was CABIN 8 ( the cabin I was in ) on the first day we got there I went to our cabin and walked straight to the bathroom I could not believe how disgusting the bathrooms looked I’ve heard this camp was around since 1980 but these bathrooms did not looked like they’ve been improved but anyways there was bugs in the sink everywhere the bathrooms only had curtains no doors at all which ment no privacy the shower water was pretty nice warm water and all that but then the next day we opened a door that was in the restroom we opened it and it had a circle with a star 2 of them! I was scared but of course me and my friends did the dumbest thing we entered the room turned off the lights and my friends outside closed the door on us and we started screaming I almost peed myself, next was that there was a snake in our cabin at like 10:20 and a frog in the morning
May 09 · SalyA really fabulously lovely recreation retreat for groups that come together to play once a year in the boonies of central TX. There’s quite a long waiting list for groups because it it has been a coveted place to stay for 28 years. I joined a group as a nurse managing Med administration and first aid situations for 80 adult campers with intellectual disabilities and 40 staff and counselors. The CFA website shows fabulous photos, better than my own, so check it out. Everything and everywhere is handicap friendly on the grounds. Archery, boating, pool and water activities, Zip line, arts and crafts, rock climbing, dancing, basketball - who could ask for more??Food was tasty, but lots of salt. Vegetables were provided including a nice healthy salad bar. July was extremely hot and dry in 2022, so campers were really coached to drink lots of fluids as they went from fun event to fun event. As a result, we only had a few campers suffering heat related health issues.Some room for improvement might be to add more opportunities for campers to be in shade while swimming, at certain activities like being in the amphitheater. Loud speakers in several cabins were faulty, causing horribly loud announcements that truly hurt ears. The water pressure was intermittently unreliable and sewage smells in the main building and a few cabins resulted from slow drains.Overall, the CFA staff and volunteers were phenomenal getting 5 out of 5. Kitchen staff was fabulous, kind, patient and extremely clean = 5 out of 5. The 4 out of 5 rating reflected excessively salty food, faulty loud speakers in some cabins, water pressure and lack of adequate shade for many activities, however, in a summer that has been the hottest on record, some of these observations are not in anyone’s control. I’d be honored to return again and am telling everyone about how terrific the experience has been.
August 02 · Jeanne BoyleWonderful place. We've brought our son several years in a row to this location. Staff on hand for our particular camp are always friendly and helpful. Campgrounds are clean and maintained. Lots of fun, tons of activities for children to participate in.
