Camp Mystic proposes 749-acre sale in bankruptcy after 2025 flood killed 27

  • Camp Mystic owners proposed selling the riverfront property through Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
  • The plan covers 749 acres after 27 campers and counselors died in the 2025 flood.
  • State lawmakers found counselors lacked emergency training, while victims' families continue lawsuits.

Camp Mystic's owners have proposed auctioning the 749 acres and other assets in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization plan filed Sept. 25, after a July 4, 2025 flood killed 25 campers, two counselors and camp owner and director Richard Eastland. The plan gives preference to a buyer willing to maintain the camp's historic mission, although no purchaser would be required to operate the property as a camp. The sale would require approval from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher M. Lopez, while creditors, including families suing the camp, can respond. The proposal follows opposition to reopening plans, lawsuits and investigations that found young counselors lacked flood and emergency training and that an earlier evacuation could have saved every life.
