Camp Ben McCulloch

CAMPING AT CAMP BEN MCCULLOCH

To download a map of the camp and workshop areas see below.

Opened as a park by the United Confederate Veterans in 1904, Camp Ben was named for a Texas Ranger and Confederate hero. Deep in the heart of many a Texan, the site has seen many wild times: Woodshock, Tribal Stomp, and the much loved Old Settler's Music Fest. 

Camp Ben McCulloch’s grounds are lovely, with plenty of big old shade trees, a gurgling creek and room for camping and jamming.  Some of the best music is off-stage in sessions lasting till the wee hours.   There is also a very nice, shady playground close to the pavilion.

There is plenty of primitive camping, and a small number of sites with electricity.  All camping fees (cash or checks only) are to be paid upon festival entry, on a first come - first served basis.

Primitive Site    ....................... $15 per night
Site with electricity  ................ $20 per night
