For 60+ years, our 123-acre facility has provided experiences in the beauty of the Sacramento mountains with a focus on the youth of the borderland.
Aspendale Mountain Retreat—also known as El Paso’s Camp—is a beautiful mountain escape. We provide individual camping experiences, large group retreats and camps, and everything in between.
Our goal is to ensure the youth of El Paso and the borderland have safe, affordable access to the nourishment that nature provides.

LODGING + FOOD
We have space for everyone! Our cabins and lodges can accommodate single campers and groups up to 250 people. We host small group retreats, youth retreats, school club retreats, and so many more!
Our cinnamon rolls are the talk of all camps, and our green chili biscuits and gravy are a very close second! We have many food options and are happy to customize to your group’s wants and needs.
