Camp Tonkawa Springs RV Park
Description
In the 1800’s the 50 acres of Camp Tonkawa was in a land grant to a full blood Indian, as well as the 300 acres that surround it. In the early 1900’s Camp Tonkawa was called Acre Mill Pond. It was a grist mill and the spring powered the wheel. During this time period the Tucker family purchased the property and has owned it ever since.
In the 1930’s the Boy Scouts leased the land from Dr. Tucker and developed the natural rock walls around the spring. The work was done by the C.C.C. The Boy Scouts hired Jess Case as caretaker. He and others in the community made a living working for the Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts were a major employer for the people in the community during this time.
When the Boy Scouts left during the 1960’s the Texas State Fox and Wolf Hunters leased the property for their hunts. Fox hounds were swapped, sold and bartered. The fox hunters left in the early 1970’s.
