Since the 1840s, guests have journeyed to Capon Springs seeking rest, relaxation and rejuvenation. Nature’s gifts of woodlands, water and food provide the perfect setting to experience the bounty of resources here.

When Lou and Virginia Austin acquired the property in 1932 with the sole intention of distributing the water, little did they know they would slowly resurrect the resort, with the help of over one hundred loyal co-workers. Their dedication and commitment continue through the generations to provide a safe comfortable haven for visiting families and friends.

This sign hangs on the outside wall of our Main Building. It was made by long time Capon guest Merv Regener of York, PA. Here at Capon Springs we strive to make you feel at home during your stay with us. The use and trust of the honor system, coupled with the family atmosphere and tranquil serenity of Capon itself, makes Capon Springs one of the most special places on earth. As our grandfather Lou Austin used to say, "Once you've made your first trip to Capon, you're considered an old friend."
