What is the address of your site?
14750 Camp Kachina Rd, Belton, TX 76513
The camp site is a well known location, and you should be able to easily find driving directions on any service like Google Maps or Apple Maps.
What amenities does your site offer?
Bluebonnet Shores is a fully-functional Girl Scout camp site with clean running water, an industrial kitchen, climate controlled cabins, and lots of open air cabin space and well maintained trails. Tenting areas are also available, and we offer an additional CAPs reward for those that choose to bring their own tents.
The majority of beds available on the site are platform beds with a foam mattress topper, a little smaller than twin sized. We recommend players bring additional blankets, sleeping bags, or sheets to put over the mattresses, and air mattresses or other padding can improve the quality of your sleep.
Each of these open air cabins sleeps about 4 people, plus room for an air mattress. Most open air cabins do not have access to electricity.
Our site has kitchen access, microwave access, refrigerator access in most major cabins, and a very nice shower building in the center of the camp with hot water and private bathroom stalls. There are other open air shower buildings, but these are much more primitive.
There are many fire pits around the site, but you must watch any fire and extinguish it after use. We may have a prohibition against campfires if the local county has declared a burn ban. Pay attention to our social media pages prior to the event, as we will announce any Burn Bans in advance.
