Sustainably built in an ecologically diverse sanctuary, the artfully designed Campsite at Shield Ranch embodies our commitment to conservation. An open-air pavilion, screened shelters, and miles of hiking trails provide a unique offering just 22 miles from downtown Austin. The Campsite offers facilities for Camp El Ranchito and nature immersion experiences for pre-registered community groups and is not open to the general public for recreation, weddings, family reunions, or individual short-term rentals. It is available by reservation for nonprofits, mission-aligned businesses, and educational organizations.
