THE FORTY NINER

LIGHTED TENNIS COURT
Our tennis court is regulation size, features basketball hoops too, and is lighted for night-time use. It is a common area shared by all groups, if more than one are present on the same weekend. Serves as a great outdoor meeting or activity place, as it is located in the heart of camp.
THE GRUBSTAKE
Wait until you sit down to breakfast, lunch or dinner to taste some of the best down-home cooking this side of the Mississippi — Texas style! Our dining hall (The Grubstake) and our kitchen staff (the Cookies) cannot be out-done. Meals are prepared with love and care and are always served in hearty portions — no one leaves hungry!
SWIMMING POOL
Our beautiful hilltop swimming pool is 30 x 55 feet, large enough to accommodate group activities. Built on the bluff overlooking the Blanco River, it is also flanked by limestone amphitheater-style seating, making it an picturesque setting for presentations, or just soaking up some sun. Lifeguards must be hired for your group with advanced notice.
CLIMBING WALL
Our Climbing Wall is 42-feet tall and provides a beautiful view of the beautiful rolling hills. Put on a harness and beat your fear of heights! Operated as a as a challenge-by-choice course (individuals set their own goal and climbing pace).

Rocky River Ranch experience

Dates & Rates

Picture a Spot … My years at Rocky River mean more to me than can be written down in a little note. There's probably not a day that goes by that I don't think about an experience, a laugh, a friendship, a struggle, a success, etc. that I experienced at camp. I love that I can go back and find the same "safe haven" that I experienced as a 7-year-old girl in Circle B through several years as a Counselor! Driving across that cattle guard at the front gate, my heart beat calms to a familiar and comforting beat again, like nothing else I've experienced.

RRR gives young women the chance to excel in areas where they may not have ever had a chance to before … and an opportunity to gain self esteem and confidence. These are such amazing and important gifts that will stay with campers their entire lives. This is why RRR will forever be a "home" to its campers. A place where they feel accepted, and loved and special.

‒ Margaret "Meg" Beecher Lowery Years at camp: '89-2000, 2005

Rocky River Ranch is like my second home. It is such a comfortable, fun place to be! I am planning to be here as long as possible, and want my future daughters and granddaughters to experience this camp. Rocky River has a special place in my heart, and is a big part of my life.

‒ Molly Morgan Years at camp: 2001-2005

This was my very first camp I ever went to and let me tell you it was the best! I only wish I had found out about it earlier so I could have spent more than just one year there. Y'all are an amazing camp and I hope you keep running for another 50 years.

‒ Claire Tilton Years at camp: 2002

I have said for years that RRR made me the person that I am today. Actually it wasn’t just RRR, but also the counselors that shaped my experiences and helped me be the best I could be. I learned to problem solve, lead others and to be a leader others wanted to follow. I learned to do my part and that I can do anything I decided to do. I learned to say 'I can' a lot more than 'I cannot.' I learned to co-exist with others which helps me to this day. As a young girl I learned what others around me now in their 30s still do not know. I learned to take care of and respect myself, respect others and the world around me.

‒ Hara Chasis Cootes Years at camp: 1978-1991

I can't believe this will be my second summer away from Rocky River. I'm so campsick. I find myself singing RRR songs all the time, and i wish I could be there now! Camp has meant so much to me. Thanks for such a wonderful experience.
