Camp Tahuaya is a small, beautiful, heavily-wooded camp with the largest natural spring in Texas. Everything at Tahuaya is within easy walking distance. The camp has a rich lore of history. The sparkling springs attracted the camps and burial grounds of prehistoric Plainview Man, and later the Native Americans of several tribes. The Spanish Conquistadors built their forts and, according to legend, buried their gold here.

Texas settlers built a grinding mill and millrace whose ruins are now historic landmarks in the camp. The Old Military Road and the Shanklin Mill brought thousands of wagons to the spring, carving deep wheel ruts still visible in the stone by our lake. The stone fences, plentiful arrowheads, Military Road, and millrace ruins are visible reminders of Camp Tahuaya's frontier heritage.
