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!

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.

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

I will forever remember Rocky River Ranch as the greatest place on earth! To this day I still remember the nine summers that I spent at Rocky River Ranch. I hope to have my children experience camp as I did so many years ago.

‒ Tasha Ancira Roberts Years at camp: 1977-1985

I am grateful for the girls that Skeet, Sandy and Rue had as our counselors because of the character and leadership they taught me. I love them all. Many are my friends still and I cannot wait to see them again year after year. We are all grown, some mothers now, some in interesting careers, but all of us sharing one special thing in common -- outside of careers, husbands, family and schooling -- the RRR Spirit that endures in our everyday life.

‒ Brandi Mascione Roy Years at camp: 1978-1985

I loved performing on stage and modeling in the fashion show. I learned how to shoot a bow and arrow, and how to do synchronized swimming. I wrote a 'Snoopy' column for the newspaper. In fact, a lot of the things I loved then are things I still love today.

‒ Shannon McCann Years at camp: 1966-1975

My years at Rocky River were some of the most wonderful times in my life. My sister (Laura) and I still spend hours talking about our fun times there. We still remember our days of swimming in the river, riding horses and water skiing. I can't wait until my little girl can experience all the joy and fun I had as a child for herself.

‒ Debbie Merian Polasek Years at camp: 1976-1987

I loved my counselors, I loved the river, and even learned how to sail on Canyon Lake. I still sing all the old camp songs that we sang every day after lunch to my little girl, who's five, every night before bed. I always end with, 'I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills ...' and then Taps.

‒ Shannon McCann Years at camp: 1966-1975

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
