Nestled in the Texas Hill Country, on the banks of the Verde Creek, the store was first established in 1857. The present-day, two story stone structure of Southern colonial design was constructed after a flood swept away the original building around 1900. Originally, the general store was established to offer goods and services to the soldiers stationed at Fort Verde, a mile to the west. By the time the US Army deactivated the Fort, the Camp Verde General Store had become an important part of the community, serving the growing number of pioneer ranchers in the area.

Camp Verde evokes a feeling of stepping back in time to a place full of history, yet is welcoming and new. Half way into its second century, this unique store occupies a special setting along the Verde Creek, offering the surrounding community a link to the past and a place for today.

Since 2003, Camp Verde General Store has been gradually undergoing a sort of renaissance, introducing a new spirit to this part of the Texas Hill Country. Everywhere you look there are distinct touches that add to the historical setting of this remarkable venue. A spectacular outdoor patio is perfect for a gathering with friends and family. An old fashioned front porch inviting you to "sit a spell" and enjoy the day. Shade trees that have offered shelter for hundreds of years. Great care has been taken to honor the past while welcoming the future.
