Sometimes going camping sounds like such a great idea until you actually think about all of the planning involved. Where to go? Will you need to reserve a spot? Will you have to travel far to the campsite? Well, The City of Round Rock’s Parks & Rec Department invites you to an easy peasy camping experience in the convenient location of Old Settler’s Park. Gather your family and friends for the Outdoor Family Campout on Friday September 25, starting at 4 p.m. And on Saturday, Sept. 26, you can stick around the park for a morning of fun activities that celebrate National Hunting & Fishing Day!
Get out and enjoy some family fun time! You’ll pop your tent around the Lakeview Pavilion, eat dinner provided by Hat Creek Burger Company, play games, sit around the campfire eating s’mores and then off to sleep under the stars. Wake up with the sunrise and enjoy breakfast, and then check out the National Hunting and Fishing Day activities.
–> Registration Info: Advanced registration for the campout is required, which you can do online here. (Children ages 2 and under are free and do not need to register.) The registration fee is $10 per person, and includes ALL of this:
