This park was an easy access from Rt. 259 and a great stopping point for the night. The sites were fairly level gravel pull-throughs with good electric amperage and water pressure. Some sites had good satellite reception, but we pulled up an additional 5 foot and lost reception. We were able to get all of the network channels with our antenna. We had good ATT cell reception and used the I-phone for internet connection. Previous reports of the herd of exotic deer are correct, but they did not bother us or our dogs. We would definitely use this park again as a stopover and with the Passport America rate of $10, you can't go wrong. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We loved this place! The managers were very friendly as well as helpful. The deer are fun to watch. It's quiet, restful, and sites are wide. The springs are so peaceful. Cell phone coverage is weak, but on Rt. 59 and 259, you can call anywhere. Our Verizon air card for the computer was slow and very weak, but we did get on line with patience. No cable, but we have Direct TV. Nacogdoches is right down the road with whatever services you need. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were looking for a stop on our route to spend the night. Camp Tonkawa is a short distance off of US-59, and US-259. We departed the site heading to US-259, and it is a much better way to access the campground. Although the speed limit on FM-1087 is 55 miles per hour, coming from US-59 the most I would dare to achieve is 35 mph. Now for the campground. It is situated in a wooded area with the sites being gravel, dirt, and grass. The sites are near level. I did use wood blocks as a ground relief for my leveling jacks with no problem. The area was dry, and I can imagine that if it were raining, muddy foot prints would be a thing to contend with. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We stepped out the back door of the office and was given the view of the campground and basically, "Where do you want to park?" I choose a partially shaded area as the temperature was over 100 degrees. Hey, it's Texas. For anyone reading this, you have to take your children or grandchildren to this campground. There is a large heard of deer that roam the campground, and they are not afraid of humans. They are not even afraid of dogs, and we have a Husky/Chow mix, but she is well behaved. We easily walked within 20-30 feet of the deer. They are a great form of entertainment and the children will love them. We did not get to use the pool, but I understand it is nice. We will definitely keep this campground in mind when traveling in that direction. We have already decided it will be more than one night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
