University Camp property sale removed from TSUS agenda

Texas State University’s University Camp appears to be up for sale.

The Texas State University System, which encompasses seven institutions including Texas State University, had an agenda item for the Board of Regents Nov. 16-17 meeting that represented what some in San Marcos and Wimberley, especially, thought might mean a major loss for the entire Texas State community.

The board was set to discuss the possible sale of University Camp, an approximately 126-acre oasis in Wimberley for use by Texas State students, alumni and staff. Donated to the university in the 1950s by Sallie Beretta, the acreage has hiking trails and sweeping views of the Blanco River, in addition to the various water recreational activities available at the site.
