This is an inquiry form for groups who would like to gather at the Campsite at Shield Ranch.
The Campsite features artfully designed and sustainably built new off-grid facilities. An open-air pavilion, screened shelters, and miles of hiking trails provide a unique offering just 22 miles from downtown Austin for Camp El Ranchito and year-round nature-immersion programming for people of all ages. The Campsite opened in Oct. 2022.
There are four steps to complete:
Inquiry
Share program plans
Site visit, if appropriate
Registration process including user agreement, payment, and insurance liability
Once we receive your Campsite Program Inquiry we determine if we are able to host your program and are able to move forward with your application. If approved, we will work with you to support your nature immersion event at the Campsite and guide you through the registration process. In order to complete the planning and registration process, we recommend groups submit an inquiry form at least six weeks in advance of their visit.
