New retreat site officially opens in Dripping Springs

Camp David Retreat celebrated its opening as the newest adventure vacation location with an open house and ribbon cutting last week, sponsored by the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce. The event, held on Wednesday, Nov. 2, brought together family, friends and chamber members to commemorate the special occasion for the retreat.

Camp David Retreat is a vacation rental that offers two unique options. One is an authentic cowboy bunkhouse with a full kitchen and two full bathrooms, sleeping 16 guests in its eight bunk beds. The second offering is a lone star lodge with four ensuite bedrooms — which can sleep up to 12 guests — a chef's kitchen, two lounging areas and an expansive wooden deck.

Camp David Retreat is expected to host family reunions, intimate weddings, youth camps, corporate functions and sports retreats in the future, making full use of its new and scenic site.

Owner David Jones said he had a vision of families coming together and having the opportunity to use all the unique, outdoor spaces for lasting, lifetime memories.

Over the summer of 2022, this once-humble home was transformed into an outdoor lover’s vacation oasis. From the two nature trails that wind down the valley to the obstacle course that is made from all natural materials and the sports courts that encourage some competitive fun between friends, the retreat offers a whole host of outdoor activities. There is also a volleyball court, a basketball court, yard games and three state-ofthe- art pickleball courts. Additionally, there is a resort- style swimming pool and hot tub for guests to enjoy.

Camp David Retreat is located at 4451 Mc-Gregor Lane in Dripping Springs. To book this property or to get more information, check out their website at cdadventureretreat. com or email info@campdavidretreat. com.
