Camp Mystic Seeks to Sell the Property in Bankruptcy as Legal Problems Grow
The plan would sell nearly 750 acres and all other assets to an independent buyer, while requiring court approval and a new state license.
- On Friday, Camp Mystic filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization plan in Houston proposing to auction 749 acres of land on the Guadalupe River near Hunt along with all enterprise assets.
- This filing follows catastrophic flooding on July 4, 2025, that killed 25 campers, two counselors, and owner Dick Eastland, with Texas Rangers investigating potential manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide.
- Camp Mystic expressed a "preference" for a buyer to "maintain the historic mission," though the plan does not mandate it; any future operator must obtain a license from the Texas Department of State Health Services.
- Under the proposed plan, wrongful-death claims are handled separately from the auction process, with current litigation on hold while payments are processed through insurance and the bankruptcy estate.
- No criminal charges have been filed against camp leaders, and while the camp expects bids from a self-organized group of families, the reorganization plan still requires Bankruptcy Court approval.
