South Llano River State Park Camp Out 2015
Well our Pack 216 Family Camp Out Weekend went off without a hitch! Aside from feeling a bit rushed to get packed up on Sunday we were truely blessed with great weather throughout the weekend. It is always great to get to spend this much time with such a great group of people, and dial back a little bit and get to know one another much better than we typically get to.
I would like to take this time to say thank you to all of those that attended, it does take everyone one of us to make an event like this great!
A special thanks to Wayne and Krysta Hyde. Without you two we may have all starved to death, you have an amazing setup, and we thank you for taking the time to supply us with everything needed for the meals.
As far as food goes we would also like to thank Wayne Hyde, Braxton Minor, and Lance Holcomb for taking the time to prepare all of the food. We never knew that camp food could turn out so well, way to go.
Mike and Cheryl Smith, thank you for allowing our scouts to invade your camp ground and make their trail mix, I know they all appreciated and enjoyed it.
A very special thanks to Justin Wood for planning an amazing hiking trip. I know the boys loved the opportunity to see everything the park had to offer, and the rock skipping contest.
Finally a special thanks to Cara Holcomb for providing us with the mothers day crafts. I am sure all mothers will appreciate them.

South Llano River State Park is south of Junction in Kimble County. The 2,600-acre site, adjacent to the South Llano River, was donated to Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in 1977 and was opened to the public in 1990.
Because of his love and respect for the land, Walter Buck donated his ranch to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
Please remember that the pack has already reserved camping spots. Please just let us know if you will be attending instead of calling and reserving your own spots. This will guarantee that our scouts all end up close to one another, and help them to have a better time. You can use the form below, or just let a den leader know that you will be attending. You will need to pay the pack $20 for the first night, then upon arrival and check in pay the park another $20 for the second night. Thank you all for your cooperation, and I look forward to seeing you all on another adventure of ours.

Nature
The park has two miles of river frontage, a large pecan bottom, and typical Hill Country areas. The 523-acre, wooded bottomland is home to white-tailed deer and the Rio Grande turkey. The bottomland represents one of the most substantial and oldest winter turkey roosts in the central portion of the state. Observation blinds are provided to offer visitors a glimpse of turkeys moving to and from the roost. Other animals include wood ducks, white-tailed deer, squirrels, jackrabbits, javelinas, foxes, beavers, bobcats, cottontails and armadillos. Several exotic species such as axis deer, black buck antelope and fallow deer are often spotted in the park.
