Such a peaceful visit. Rand is always so welcoming. My favorite spot was sitting next to the front pond, under the trees, with a slight breeze. Definitely a do-over!

Weekend Trip to Camp Tonkawa Woods & Horse Camp

We had a great time on an overnight camping trip to this site. Ms April took our group of 4 adults and 4 children on an awesome horseback ride as well. The site had lots of ants due in part to the heavy rains we had prior to our stay.

Weekend Trip to Sleep Under the Pecan Trees

1 night at Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Excellent hosts and a quiet peaceful location. I would definitely visit again.

1 night at Treehouse on the Creek

We had a fantastic stay at the Treehouse. Steve is a great host. Very good location given it's not too far from the city....it's a cozy & private site. Couple of tips for fellow travelers: 1) wear your mud shoes when there is rain just before your stay 2) expect & be prepared to use a make shift toilet (few yards away on the trail)...better to pack a flash light.

Weekend Trip to Texas Safari Camp

We had a great time camping here. The spot we had was surrounded with trees and pretty secluded, it provided us privacy. In the morning, I love watching sunrise in front of the pond. By nightfall, you can hear the sound of nature- birds and more. It was a very relaxing weekend. Randall was a pleasant host. Long hikes are not possible, but there are pathways to walk around. Great option for primitive campers. Water is available but you need to walk from point A to B. Overall experience, great!

Weekend Trip to Wild 2 Wonderful Ranch

Just what the doctor ordered! I loved it. Even with other campers in sight it was so peaceful. The land was so beautiful and Eddie was the best. I will definitely be visiting again.

Weekend Trip to Llama Land Ranch

Best campsite I’ve found! Llamas are really sweet and the site is well taken care of. There are dogs/cats that roam the property, so make sure you don’t leave any trash out. Great site, easy check in.

Camp Tonkawa Woods & Horse Camp

8 sites · Lodging, Tents35 acres · Collinsville, TX

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.
