Texas Hill Country Overnighter

This was just posted on Bikepacking.com.  It's a overnight ride that includes an overnight stop at Castell for supper and camping at the nearby Leifeste Campground. The ride starts at a campground on a private ranch on FM 16 between F-burg and Llano. 

I'll note that four years ago we did two rides starting at Castell and had planned to camp at Leifeste Campground. It was October -- I think this must have been just after the three-day Columbus Day weekend -- and the place was completely beat up; portapotties were overflowing.

It was so unappealing we went to the Castell Store and found a little cottage rental with no kitchen.  So -- we had beds to sleep in but we used our camping set up and cooked outside.  

Anyway, Leifeste Campground is right on the banks of the Llano, so a lovely setting.

 They are Leifeste Campground in Castell on facebook and the phone is 254-717-3305.

Sounds like they have some electrical hookups now and call ahead to check on reservations. 

UPDATE: Leifeste Campground has gotten some love since we were there last.  Sounds much better now.
