Located 14 miles from Nacogdoches and 20 miles from Henderson. Take Hwy 259, and go 14 miles north of Nacogdoches. Then go 4.5 miles east on 1087 toward Garrison. Turn onto CR153 south, and go 1/4 mile to the Camp on the right. OR From Garrison: go north on FM 95 for two miles and turn left on FM 1087. Then go west for six miles.
We stayed for memorial day afternoon and it was really nice. The ladies at the gate were friendly and quick to get everyone in and give the information needed. The gentlemen on the golf carts on the grounds were very friendly and knowledgeable. The grounds were clean. Even though it was a Holiday and there were quite a few people there it was still pleasantly comfortable. I also appreciated them having back up law enforcement present to keep the peace even though there was no problems. After all its better to have them and not need them than need them and not have them.
The place is beautiful. The water is good and cold. The caretakers are strict about the rules. We observed several men on golf carts riding around managing the grounds, which did include speaking aggressively to patrons, mostly over parking💀 as long as you don't mind following the rules, it is a good place.
I had an amazing time at their spring! The water was cold and the sun was hot, it made for an excellent experience. They had deer that were not afraid of people, seemingly unbothered grazing around us. I would definitely recommend this place to a friend!
This is a slice of heaven. I've knocked some stars off because we went on family Day (Wednesday) and I could swear that in family day you paid by car, not by person. Also I went to the source of the water and it's so clear and beautiful, white sand at the bottom. It made me wonder why the water a few feet down was so green you couldn't see a foot below the surface?
Either way, it's a natural spring that feels amazing in a heat wave, that was built by the government and I wonder why it's in private hands. It should be open to the public given the group that built it. Privatization of the natural resources God gave humanity. God love us!
Absolutely no pets allowed because they poop but the dear poop and that's alright. Maybe I'm just crazy but hypocrisy just is rampant.
Awesome place for peace & quiet. Well maintained and staff very informative and helpful. Loved all the deer and peacocks roaming the park. They have a spring fed swimming pond which looked awesome, but a bit cold now for swimming.
