In the early 1900’s an iconic red barn was built near the hilltop along the road between the old Mt. Zion community and Collinsville. Later in the 1900’s, the land was mostly abandoned by its owners, but not by the local fishermen! They knew its woodland fishing pond never dried up, and so was able to support a better population of fish. They also dumped a cornucopia of old motorcycles, cars and farm equipment in the front field. What else were you supposed to do with scrap metal in North Texas horse country?
In 2002 the Holtzman family purchased the 35 acre tract of land. They dug a front pond for swimming and paddling, buried the scrap metal (although occasional bits of history still work their way up!), restored and brought horses back to the barn, and began consulting with local biologists about supporting native wildlife.
April Holtzman launched Camp Tonkawa Outdoor Learning Center on the property to provide a beautiful, safe place for families to explore and learn about nature. Camp Tonkawa continues to host overnight and day camps with educational programing organized around various themes including: Native American culture, nature awareness, basic camping skills, primitive survival, organic gardening, herbology, outdoor cooking, western days, and horsemanship. We also host field trips and frequently conduct Girl Scout journeys for all levels in the "It's Your Planet, Love it!" series.
Due to Covid-19, which limited working with groups for our educational programing, we joined Hip Camp where families who could isolate in nature together on our property.

Where the short-grass prairie drops into the Red River Valley, the 4R Ranch—with its magnificent vistas and rocky terrain—is perfectly suited for growing grapes. Patriarch W.C. Roper encouraged his family of sixth-generation Texans to share the beauty of this extraordinary place with others; and so it was love of this man and love of the land that inspired 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery. Chinquapin oaks, white-tailed deer, the endangered black-capped vireo, and the occasional Rio Grande turkey inhabit this incredible property. Powered by sun, earth and wind, 4R Ranch Vineyards & Winery calls us all to slow our pace, enjoy the view, and sip a glass of wine in the magnificent Red River Valley.

We liked the privacy, and solitude feeling. You can still hear the highway, train and a dog kennel with lots of dogs. We were greeted by a white donkey (we named him Hilberto) and spotted a wild pig at dusk. The creek was my favorite part! Such a peaceful spot and the dogs had fun playing in the water. We downloaded a bird app and found lots of different ones by their songs and calls. Glad to have amenities nearby like food and coffee so we could come back to nature. No teepee or horses spotted though. If you have dogs that don’t run far, it’s great to have your dogs run free and be off leash here, just make sure to give them (and you) a good wash after because there’s lots of poison plants around the trees.

Jamie has such a beautiful piece of the country. The campsite area is cute and well away from her house and barn. The lake is a short walk out the gate by the campsite and easy to find walking along the mowed paths. I worked, hooked up our rooftop tent trailer, drove about 25 minutes and felt like we were hours away from home, slept amazing, woke up, packed up and went to work. The short break between work felt different here and I will be back because of it.

This is a convenient place to camp if visiting St Jo, Nocona, or Muenster. I stayed in site #10, which was close to the camp shower. This and other sites are very spacious. It was very quiet at night, and the ranch is well maintained. Did not visit the tasting room up the hill, but would like to come back in the fall. The showers and camp toilet are rustic, but it is camping and they were clean.
