Beat the heat: Camp Tonkawa Springs offers cool, spring-fed recreation (Texas)

Published June 28, 2009 - The Lufkin Daily News
Camp Tonkawa ...only went public in 2001.

In the early part of the 20th Century the Tucker family bought the land and began leasing it to the Boy Scouts in the 1930s, who used it as a summer camp until the 1980s.

During that time Ozarka Spring Water leased the springs and used the crystal clear streams for their trademark bottled water. After the eldest Tucker died, his children decided to make Camp Tonkawa open to the public so everyone could enjoy it.
