The family behind the renowned Schlitterbahn waterpark proudly announces the opening of Camp Landa, a boutique RV resort in downtown New Braunfels, Texas. The grand opening on May 24 will kick off the holiday weekend with a celebration of this unique destination.
Situated by the Comal River, Camp Landa offers high-end camping in the Texas Hill Country. Designed with a nostalgic 1960s vibe, the resort blends retro charm with modern luxury. Texas-based Open Studio Architecture and CoPilot Creative, along with interior design by True Design, crafted this beautiful 30-acre property. Classen-Winters Design Build, a local contractor, brought the project to life.
The site, formerly used for manufacturing Schlitterbahn’s water attractions, has been transformed into an upscale camping retreat. Caleb Goins from Open Studio Architecture explained, “We centered the design on the adaptive reuse of an existing building, achieving a mid-century aesthetic with retro construction materials.”
Camp Landa features a heated pool, wifi, camp store, on-site laundry, fire pit, sports courts, and a swim-up bar. The café offers unique menu items like the Hurta Loaded Bavarian Pretzel. Activities for kids include a jump pad, crafting station, and playground. With 110 RV sites and cozy cabins that sleep eight, families have plenty of options. A dedicated shuttle service makes exploring nearby Landa Falls easy.
Founder Stuart Blythin shared, “Our family is ecstatic to welcome the community and roadtrippers to our destination RV resort. Camp Landa is luxury camping made simple, curated by our team of experts.”
Inspired by their travels and Texas hospitality roots, Stuart and Tasha Blythin aim to make Camp Landa a must-visit destination. Original aspects of Schlitterbahn, like a smoke stack from the original slide manufacturing plant, are preserved, blending history with comfort.
Located at 723 N. Walnut Ave., New Braunfels, TX 78130, Camp Landa operates daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and until 9 p.m. in summer. For more information or to book your stay, visit camplanda.com and follow @camplanda on Instagram. Experience the perfect blend of adventure and comfort at Camp Landa.

New Orleans, LA - On October 22, 2024, I recently had an opportunity to attend the grand opening of Caesars New Orleans, marking the completion of a stunning $435 million transformation of the former Harrah’s New Orleans. It was an evening to remember, filled with excitement, luxury, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. The festivities began on Canal Street with an exhilarating ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, President & COO Anthony Carano, and Caesars New Orleans General Manager Samir Mowad. The atmosphere was electric as they joined Caesar himself and an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a lively procession into the casino. It felt like the entire city had come out to celebrate, with Caesars New Orleans team members and Mayor LaToya Cantrell also joining the event to commemorate this historic occasion. Anthony Carano’s pride in introducing Caesars to New Orleans was palpable. “From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” he said. The ceremony was a spectacle, kicking off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court, and a dazzling firework show that lit up the New Orleans sky. The second-line band then led us revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where we indulged in a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans.” Each bite from the six on-property restaurants was a delightful journey, capturing the essence of New Orleans’ rich culinary scene. Throughout the night, elemental entertainers, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps, and showgirls, created an authentic and unforgettable Big Easy experience. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to marvel at, each performance more mesmerizing than the last. Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans, highlighted the significance of the transformation, stating, “This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans, and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance, and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our team members, and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation.” The hotel itself is impressive,…
